Billboard 200: #1 Taylor Swift's evermore with 329K, #3 Folklore

[Teletubby 148,822]

Taylor Swift notches her eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 -- and second of 2020 -- as her surprise release Evermore arrives atop the list.
evermore earned 329,000 equivalent album units :  SEA units comprise nearly 167,000 (equaling 220.49 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 154,500 and TEA units comprise a little under 8,000.

Evermore was released on Dec. 11 via Republic Records with little warning, and was only available as a standard digital download album and a standard streaming album.
Its CD edition did not arrive in stores until Friday, Dec. 18 Cassette and vinyl LP configurations are due in 2021.


Notably, Evermore’s first-week total units (329,000) and album sales (154,500) are the biggest for any album since merchandise/album bundles and concert ticket/album sale redemption offers both ceased to count towards chart sales as of Oct. 9. 


Swift’s Folklore flies 11-3 on the Billboard 200 with 133,000 equivalent album units (up 249%), as its album sales ballooned to 106,000 (up 742%). The set’s sales got a huge boost from sale pricing and promotion in Swift’s official webstore of the Folklore vinyl LP (in assorted colored vinyl variants) and a signed CD edition of the album.

I can't stand it. I have nothing going on irl and I depend on another person's success to value myself.

Imagine evermore getting blocked by folklore. That would be something.
