Taylor Swift's ‘Evermore' Stands Out From Her Chart Successes

Taylor Swift is always present on the Billboard charts – always. At times, the superstar is everywhere, thanks to the release of a new single or a hotly-anticipated album drop. But even during quieter frames, like this current one, when there's no just-released material or promotional campaign fueling momentum, Swifties are still busy streaming and buying her past releases. This continued fan loyalty ensures that several of her full-lengths remain on the charts at all times.
This week, Swift once again proves her popularity as 10 albums appear on various Billboard rankings. Among that bunch, one title rises above the rest and manages a feat none of the others can claim: climbing on more than one list.
This frame, 10 of Swift's albums find space somewhere on the Billboard charts. Most of them land on more than one list, though nearly half are present on just a single tally. Across the board, the general trend is downward, with most of her full-lengths losing ground. That's not really a bad sign, though – it just means this isn't a busy period for the singer-songwriter. A few projects do manage to gain slightly, but just one title defies that pattern and stands out for climbing on multiple charts simultaneously.
Evermore is the only album in Swift's discography that improves its standing on more than one Billboard chart this week. The set jumps two rungs on the Billboard 200, moving from second-to-last place to No. 197. On the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally, Evermore also improves, stepping up one position No. 45. That roster ranks the most-consumed rock and alternative-only collections in the U.S., while the Billboard 200 includes all genres and styles.
Only three other Swift albums manage to rise at all, and each one surges on just a single list. Fearless (Taylor's Version) appears on only one tally, the Top Country Albums ranking, where it moves from the lowest position to No. 49.
1989 (Taylor's Version) continues to perform fairly well, though this week is a mixed bag for the re-recorded take on 1989. On the Billboard 200, the bestseller drops a few spots, but on the Top Album Sales chart, which counts only pure purchases, the project pushes north by a single space, No. 50 to No. 49.
Red (Taylor's Version) is steady on the Billboard 200, though it does manage a minor bump on the Top Country Albums chart. On that style-specific roster, it climbs from No. 29 to No. 27.
While a few titles manage to grow or remain steady, the rest of Swift's catalog is on the decline on Billboard's lists. The Tortured Poets Department, Lover, Folklore, Midnights, and Reputation all appear on the Billboard 200, with several of them also featured on other rankings, but not one of them is rising.
