It's not really because of the tour though, the huge debut happened before it.

I think, the last time an international act made top 10 in yec was Adele with 30 at #6 in 2021  

[ChrisTheLoner]

Radical Optimism kinda ATE

Everybody loves the circus. The real test is how things go after the circus leaves town.  Beyoncé's circus passed through last year and she's still on this list. "Texas Hold 'Em" streaming is leaving Taylor and Billie in the dust.

Taylor's nearly 3-year old re-recording of a 2012 album is only 7 spots behind Renaissance on this list. She would have several others too above Renaissance (folklore, evermore, Lover, reputation) if not for their 3-year rule. So I think TTPD, so far her biggest album in France by a long shot, will have fine longevity. Not really sure what your point is here

By the end of the year, both RED TV and SN TV will be above the "Beyoncé's circus" so will multiple of her entries that are not eligible to chart anymore. I know a Beyonce stan  is not shading about an album's frontloadedness, look at CC in BB200 and every other chart in the world to know what real things look like after the "circus has left the town".

Oh Taylor the global queen you are! 

[MardinBeksloy]

1989TV above certain album and some of them told us Taylocal because she couldn't book Stade de France  

[whatyouwant_]

HMHAS coming for the TOP 10 

WWAFA,WDWG? was #40 and HTE was #51 on the YEC chart in France, huge improvement.
