AceShowbiz –Taylor Swift‘s “Evermore” soars high on this week’s Billboard 200 chart. The album returns to No. 1 on the chart for a fourth non-consecutive week as it jumps from No. 74 to the top position. Marking the biggest sales week of 2021, the album earns 202,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 3, according to MRC Data.
“Evermore” had a sales surge thanks to a number of drivers, including modern-era record-breaking vinyl LP sales, Swift-signed CDs and deep discounting on its digital album. Of the number, album sales comprise 192,000. Meanwhile, 9,000 are in the form of SEA with TEA units comprising a negligible sum.
“This one hit me hard,” Taylor tweeted in response to her album being back to No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart. “I’m so in my feelings (more so than usual!) over what you all did here for evermore. Blown away by how much you care, and how long we’ve been caring about each other. Love you, so very much.”
Taylor Swift reacted to ‘Evermore’ returning to No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart.
