Is folklore just a quick lil album? Will it serve longevity? Will “cardigan” free fall after its first week on Billboard? It’s already slipping on Spotify all after one week of release. Discuss.

https://t.co/YYfAt0zT7 Taylor Swift’s surprise eighth album Folkloremakes a shimmering debut atop the Rolling Stone Top 200 Albums Chart this week with 852,700 units, surpassing Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die for the biggest first week of any album so far in 2020 by over 300,000 units. The album, which was largely produced by the National’s Aaron Dessner, saw over 627,000 album sales and nearly 260 million on-demand audio streams during the week of July 24th through July 30th. The album also saw over 86,000 song sales, which was aided by the sale of physical singles of “Cardigan” on her website. (Relatedly, a knit cardigan was also available for purchase along with a digital download of the album.) While Folklore didn’t surpass the 991,800 first-week units of Lover — largely becauseFolklore didn’t come with partnerships with the likes of Target and Amazon — it did out-stream it by nearly 50 million on-demand audio streams.

After the critically panned album Lover, did Taylor need help from The National to put out a semi-decent album that she knew mainly her fans would find as captivating? discuss.
