Taylor Swift helped make the 2020 worldwide Covid-19 pandemic shutdown a little easier to bear for her fans by releasing two full-length albums during the toughest parts of the spread. Folklore and Evermore both arrived with almost no warning, and they went on to become both commercial and critical smashes in the latter months of that year.
The sister albums are both climbing on the Billboard charts this week. Fans appear to revisit the collections every fall, as the titles arrived in the second half of 2020, and both the themes explored on the sets, as well as their general sound, make them a perfect fit for autumn.
Evermore is gaining so much ground that it returns to several rankings in the U.S. this frame. The title can be found on five Billboard lists at the moment, and it wasn't present on nearly half of them last time around.
Swift's second surprise full-length nearly re-entered the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart. Evermore is back at No. 12 on that list, and that stands as the title's loftiest placement on any of the company's rankings this week.
Evermore also finds its way back to the Top Album Sales chart. This frame, it lands at No. 29 on that 50-spot ranking, which includes all forms of purchases and every style imaginable.
Luminate reports that in the past tracking week, Evermore sold another 3,000 copies. That's up nearly 60% from the frame prior, when it managed just under 1,900 sales.
Evermore also climbs on the other three Billboard charts it finds space on this week. Swift pushes the collection to No. 10 on the Top Alternative Albums list and No. 18 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking.
The follow-up to Folklore shoots 13 spaces on the Billboard 200. This frame, Evermore makes a home at No. 86 on the all-encompassing ranking of the most-consumed albums in the nation. Including sales of individual tracks on the set and streaming activity, the former No. 1 shifted 12,100 equivalent units.
