Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Spends Fourth Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200

Also in the top 10: Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' returns, Rod Wave debuts & Michael Bublé brings 'Christmas' back.

 

Taylor Swift’s Midnights spends a fourth nonconsecutive week No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Dec. 3) as it holds atop the list with 177,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 24 (down 13%), according to Luminate.

 

Also in the new Billboard 200’s top 10: Michael Jackson’s former No. 1 Thriller returns to the region after its 40th anniversary reissue, vaulting 115-7; Rod Wave’s new Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory bows at No. 9; and Michael Bublé’s chart-topping Christmas jingles its way back to the top 10 with a 19-10 climb.

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 3, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Nov. 29. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

[FightDragonsWithMe]

She's going to be 8 weeks away from surpassing Elvis 

[PoisonedIvy]

Taylor with an extremely strong fifth week at #1.  

 

Everyone say thank you for the:

 

multiple physical variants,

streaming exclusive deluxe tracks,

merch-to-tour-presale lottery pipeline,

remixes,

frequent album releases per year,

McDonald’s level quality,

etc etc etc  

 

Obviously Taylor is the only artist with this combination of factors that lead to her album’s massive success, hopefully other artists try it sometime  

[Hunter_13]

2.6M already 

 

[byzantium]

Is she going to catch up to bad bunny before year end?  I did not think that was possible. 

[By the Water]

 

680k already for the Billboard tracking year. Should pass Hair Loss next week

[wastedpotential]

Taylor runs the BB200 nnnn

 

More than Positions' first week, again

I wasn’t thinking she could but now it’s looking pretty close. I think he’ll stay ahead by a hair unless she gets a good Christmas sale going for Midnights vinyl or CD’s (let’s get some stock in the physical retailers pls)

[makeme]

Thriller 

[fridayteenage]

so many men in the t10 besides her.

 

xmas already t10, hmm.

[FightForTanas]

I mean if her fans keep streaming the album wont it keep being #1? This whole album equivalents thing has always been wierd to me.

well the entire album is being streamed which is the point of an album consumption chart and not by a single song which is the case for most people

I guess Im just wondering what are the pure sales? If people are still buying it week after week like they were 21 thats impressive but if her fans are just streaming it over and over well then its predictable that it will be #1 for a few weeks.

Well, she is moving 57k pure sales. That is stronger than the SPS units of everyone except Drake (and Drake is certainly not moving pure sales).

Not only it's also #1 in pure sales but your logic is completely stupid, welcome into the streaming era

Well it’s not just the fans streaming, it’s the general population too. 86M unique listeners this past month on Spotify. Fans alone can’t do as much damage as Midnights is doing otherwise we would’ve kept Willow, cardigan, and All Too Well at #1 (or even top 5) for more than just one week each.

 

Thats not even mentioning the fact all 13 Midnights tracks have charted on the Hot 100 for 5 weeks straight. I’m sorry but those are colossal streams and much bigger than just a fanbase streaming “over and over again.”

 

Plus her other albums wouldn’t be rising too if people were so focused on “”mass streaming”” Midnights. But she has SIX albums in the top 50, and NINE charting overall. Most other females artists have two at most. 
 

TL;DR: Taylor’s fanbase is big but they’re not the sole reason for this albums success. Far from it.

[sugarysunflower]

Michael Jackson 

 

Morgan back in the Top 5 

[Ger]

Not these streaming farms allegations for Taylor.

Why do you guys still pretending we aren't in the streaming era? And keep bringing up Adele when this is not about her?  And it's not even that Taylor is someone like Drake who only has streaming and no sales... Taylor is literally the biggest album seller nowadays, even more than Adele. 

[Feanor]

177k is very impressive

It's her second best 5th week in the SPS era and only behind '1989', which is literally her biggest album ever:

 

339k - '1989'
177k - 'Midnights'

100k - 'reputation'

98k - 'folklore'

68k - 'RED (TV)'

65k - 'Lover'

55k - 'evermore'

 

The way she snatched her biggest album since '1989' (and that with reputation-Lover-folklore all being massive albums themselves)… just crazy 

[simmnfierzig]

Smash 

 

Next week should be locked too despite the big thanksgiving streaming drops 

[Armani?]

What happened to Roddy Ricch? Was HDD that off

[Bloodflowers.]

Christmas album already in Top 10 when it's not even December

Hair Loss is a collab album so Drake is only gettin half the points from it

are you really this dimwitted or just pretending to be? 

 

1. if an album is getting streamed, then it should be #1 period.

2. she's got the most unique listener and monthly listener on spotify. this isnt just her fans having it on repeat. it wouldnt be possible to do the numbers she's pulling with fans alone, and

3. if it's really all from fans, then her fanbase alone mustve been bigger than 99.999% of the GP-darling artists; in that case it would make be even more impressive feat than having the biggest GP outreach itself.
