Taylor Swift‘s ‘Folklore’ pencils in yet another week atop the Billboard 200.
What’s more, industry analysts are already forecasting the set will hold tight to the position next week as well!
More below:
Swift’s 8th studio album, ‘Folklore,’ landed at the Billboard 200’s #1 spot at the top of the month with the highest first-week sales of 2020 (as we reported here). With the 840,000+ units sold its first week, ‘Folklore’ also became the year’s highest-selling musical effort to date.
Ownership of that title was extended when the next week saw the LP pack on another 135,000 (as we reported here). In week 3, ‘Folklore’ – already the fastest album to sell 1 million copies this year – lured in another 136,000 units.
Adding another 101,000 units to its tally in week 4, the LP is leasing tenancy of the position for another 7 days – a term insiders are already speculating will be extended to a fifth week. As of time reported, it’s believed Swift’s latest set will likely sell at least another 45,000 copies in the tracking week that ends 12am Friday (August 28). If accomplished, that sum will be higher than the week’s top debuts from The Killers and Nas, both of which are pacing toward a finish line of 35k-40k SPS respectively.
The updated sales and continued dominance over the Billboard 200 makes her the first female act since Adele‘s blockbuster 2015 album, ’25,’ to see an album spend its first four weeks at #1. What’s more, ‘Folklore’ is Swift’s only album to spend its first four weeks at #1.

And that is why she is the Artist of the decade!!!and she don’t have nothing to prove to no one no more and yet haters are just gonna hate!!!!

Chiile. Taylor is making u girls know it
We are the music industry #swifties
Not only did she make the entire album in quarantine, queen did an entire genre shift! Again!!
Life is too short to pretend to NOT like Taylor Swifts music
I’ve been listening to exile And cardiganrepeatedly.
Amazing, considering that there are no standard pop songs on the album. Also, you’re a great journalist.
None of our faves (I have many btw so shh..) can match or oversell Taylor sales….. which is sad!
I would love to see someone like Jazmine Sullivan become our Taylor and selling this many units but she BLACK and R&B. 2 “X’s” that won’t ever make her see that happening 🙁
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Queen Taylor, when will your fav? Pure sale #LegendaryLane
Everybody is mad at her, she’s basic, she sells because she’s white, blah blah blah, well, I dislike her too but because she’s a mediocre artist but her sales are genuine, people buy her music, there’s no more to it, there are plenty of white artists who should be selling this much based on their talent alone but they don’t, so race has nothing to do with her sales, y’all buy Beyoncé’s albums but ignore Jazmine Sullivan’s releases, it’s simple, people are to blame for the lack of/or success of an artist’s project.
LOL STRUGGLEYONCE WILL NEVER lmfaoooo
Wow I’m very happy that taylor has dominated the sales so much. I think this is somewhat due to swifites being so loyal. I honestly love so many of her songs, still play all her older songs, and loving the new ones too.
Yeah many people said same thing
Taylor Swift outsold Lemonade and Beyonce secret album!!! Lol
Damn lol
Taylor is just an amazing album seller.. People are so contradictuary.. A lot of the kiddies purchased her album.. These are the ones that people claim don’t buy too many albums anymore.. Lol. She has a huge huge following.. She sales singles & albums. She’s sold over a million copies three times in a damn row.. That’s selling power there.. She ain’t have to pull any midnight surprises to do it either.. She writes & produces Her own songs.. She’s an artist artist..
She’s the girl next door, a blonde young woman with a body for European fashion runways, very sweet, basically the American dream but she’s also talented, i do her 😀
This is an amazing feat that an artist can still sell like this when their album releases and I’m solely respect Taylor for being able to do that. I don’t wanna take that away from her, but you would think that the way her first week sales are always consistently out of this world, you would think she would have more than two Diamond albums to her name? Of which she doesn’t. She have one from Fealess and almost with 1989 But with that said congratulations and much credit due to Ms. Swift.
I can’t believe that Taylor slayed all of your faves. Hates will hate.
Go Taylor!!!
Congratulations Taylor Swift 😍🥰👏
Taylor is the music industry 👑
Exactly girl
Wait, where’s Brandy’s album? I can’t find it on the charts.
Bish stop😂🤣😂🤣

🤣🤣🤣😭
Big congrats Taylor Swift 🥰
