How is it 'insane' when she re-released folklore and we all know how crazy obsessed her stans are

First time ever a Record Store Day release go top 10 but I guess anyone else could do that!!

Omfg lover

[on the line]

That Taylor reign just won't let up!

[Cruel Summer]

It looks like Taylor is only the fourth act - and the first solo - to accomplish this while alive and actively releasing new material. A few groups managed this in the late 50's and early 60's.

The way Lover will not be stopped 

[JawBreaker]

So glad lover made it 

[RobynYoBank]

We need Miss Lover to scan diamond 

[BtDecember]

Lover being her shortest #1 album (only one week) but is beating about half of her discography in longevity

[Klein]

The domination. 

[SinnerCity]

Lover proving to be a fan favourite is truly the gag of the century 

[TaylorFantasy]

GODver omfg

This will age bad next week if Folklore (#12 this week) re-enters top 10 next week 

Seems unlikely with 3 more top 10 debuts. Maybe in a calmer week and or with a surprise song performance

Kind of strange she’s trying to out do Whitney accomplishments, that she worked so hard for. Billboard should make some rule about you can’t use re-recordings to break such records

um...

 

there aren't any rerecordings in this record.

 

and i doubt taylor's mindset is "i will try to out do whitney's accomplishments, that is my goal in life"...

Huh? It wasn’t rerecording, it was a limited vinyl live album exclusively made for Record Store Day. I don’t think anyone expected Lover would be still in top 10 and this release was planned months ago, you’re just making a scenario in your head

[kitasss_vlc]

what it's a kii is that Folkore release getting 75k PURE sales when it has been available for streaming for quite some time... I admire her fans dedication, wow!

 

and 3 albums in the top 10 no matter the reason is really impressive

It got 75k and exactly 75k were available in the US

Whitney's work for this achievement was.... dying

You would expect from "the industry" to make new records and not to just tie old/existing ones. 

and you would expect RIGHT

the beginning of august coinciding with the last week of tour will be the perfect opportunity for a top 10 reentry…

imagine if lover enters too and she gets another week of 3 albums in the top 10

The way some of y’all come in saying things like this without knowing anything about the release or RSD 

[Raphy23]

Lover is such a great album I only recently got into it. 

[JasonGosling]

Can someone please explain to me why it is not merged with Folklore as one album? I thought different versions can be considered as one, no?

Worked so hard for? She charted 3 albums because she passed away

Y'all are so damn weird sometimes

BB only does that if the original songs are on it. Didn't they count Ariana's album sperate too? (Thank you next/that see you later live album).

 

The Long pond studio sessions are just the live recordings she did for the Disney plus special that were released on physical for the first time for record store day so they don't contain the studio songs so it's a different release to BB.

If they would've combined it, it probably would've been #2 since folklore is still top 15 so same thing but it's dumb since there are no more physicals of the LPSS so it'll just go out of the charts

[PurrKaty]

I wish the singles were different for Lover cause it’s showing she’s that girl  

Can Taylor just make Karma, Cruel Summer and Enchanted all singles at the same time, assuming Speak Now is coming soon.
