TORONTO, ONTARIO – SEPTEMBER 09: (NO COVERS) Taylor Swift attends ‘In Conversation With… Taylor … [+]
Taylor Swift fans are doing what they can to prepare for her new album The Tortured Poets Department, which is expected to arrive in a little less than a month. Ahead of that exciting new drop, her followers all around the world are still buying and streaming her past projects, and in huge numbers as well.
Evermore, one of Swift’s two 2020 full-lengths, has now lived on the U.K. albums chart for 150 weeks, as of this frame. The set is her fifth to reach that milestone, but it certainly won’t be the last.
This week, Evermore improves from where it sat last period. The set is up from No. 41 to No. 38. It enters the top 40 once more, becoming a hit album all over again in the U.K.
Swift’s longest-charting album in the U.K. remains 1989. That set–which is also still present on the tally–has now lived on the ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths for 347 frames. It will surely become her first to make it to 350 turns in less than a month.
Lover ranks as Swift’s second-longest-charting album in the U.K. That pure pop set has lived on the list for 222 weeks. It’s followed by Reputation (157 frames) and Folklore (191).
Evermore was another huge commercial success for Swift when she unveiled it in December 2020. It appeared with very little warning and served as a sequel of sorts to Folklore, which had arrived just a few months prior.
So far, Swift has accrued 11 No. 1 albums in the U.K., including Evermore. She’ll almost certainly up that count to an even dozen in about a month when The Tortured Poets Department hits tallies all around the world.
