Taylor Swift's Album Eclipses Sales of Multiple Albums in the Same Chart Collectively
Taylor Swift's surprise re-release, "Lover: Live In Paris," almost clinched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 this week. However, it fell short by a slim margin to Bad Bunny's "Debí Tirar Más Fotos." Swift's project racks up an impressive second place with 202,300 equivalent units, leaving Bad Bunny trailing behind by only 1,000 units[1][2]. Despite not topping the chart, "Lover: Live In Paris" emerges as the best-selling release in the US, significantly outperforming its competitors[1].
"Lover: Live In Paris" secures the top position on the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling full-lengths and EPs solely based on sales[3]. In the last tracking week, the live recording of Swift's Lover concert sold over 202,300 copies, significantly outperforming the rest of the charts[3].
Swift's dominance extends beyond the second place on the Billboard 200, as "Lover: Live In Paris" outperforms the entire Top Album Sales chart combined, leaving minimal space for other projects[3]. The low-key week saw debuts from artists like Tremonti, Heidi Montag, and Ringo Starr, with Swift's project outshining them all[3]. Swift even outperformed six of her own releases, including the original "Lover," which jumped 10 spots to No. 24[3].
The Top 10 albums, excluding Swift's project, collectively sold 83,000 copies. Swift outpaced this number nearly two and a half times over [3]. The second bestselling album in the US, "Wicked" soundtrack, sold 11,700 copies, with "Lover: Live In Paris" outperforming it more than 17 times over[1].
The current success of "Lover: Live In Paris" is particularly impressive given its brief availability. Swift surprise-released the project with just a few hours to go before the frame concluded, still managing to attract over 200,000 sales, primarily through vinyl[1][3].
"Lover: Live In Paris" isn't a newcomer to the Top Album Sales chart. It's made a couple of appearances in the past two weeks, but this time, it marks its first-ever No. 1 position, giving Swift her 15th leader on the list[3].
