Taylor Swift's Resurgence Is Underway — Not That She Needed A Comeback
Taylor Swift charts 10 albums this week, with Folklore leading a trio of returning titles and ... More Evermore and Fearless (Taylor's Version) just making it back. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Taylor Swfit speaks onstage during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Taylor Swift currently claims 10 spots across Billboard's albums charts, and three of those projects manage to return to one tally apiece. While comebacks from older titles aren't unusual for Swift, what makes this frame especially interesting is that none of the sets that find their way back do so on the same ranking as the others, as her surges are spread out across a variety of lists. Among the three albums from her catalog that reappear this week, Folklore manages the most impressive comeback. The surprise 2020 release returns to the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling full-lengths in the U.S. based purely on purchases. Folklore settles at No. 39, pushed upward by a spike that sees it sell about 15,200 copies in the latest tracking period, according to Luminate. That's a significant jump from last frame, when it was absent from the list altogether. The second-highest-ranking return among Swift's titles this frame belongs to Fearless (Taylor's Version). The 2021 re-recording of her breakout sophomore set finds its way to the Top Country Albums chart — but only just. It lands at No. 50, ranking as one of the 50 most-consumed country projects in the country. Evermore, Swift's other surprise pandemic-era release, also claws its way back onto a familiar tally. The sister set to Folklore reenters the Billboard 200, the all-genre ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.S. This time around, it returns at No. 199, nearly failing to break back in at all. Among all 10 of Swift's currently-charting albums, Folklore is the clear standout this week. In addition to its sales-driven comeback, the project appears on four Billboard rankings, more than any other Swift release this time around. Folklore is gaining traction on every chart it currently appears on, not just holding steady, as it enjoys something of a small resurgence in popularity. As is almost always the case, Swift remains a powerhouse on the Billboard 200. This week, she occupies eight spaces on the all-genre albums chart, which means nearly 10% of the roster is made up of Swift titles — an impressive feat, especially considering none of them are brand new. Her charting albums this frame include: The Tortured Poets Department (No. 18), Lover (No. 53), Folklore (No. 56), Midnights (No. 59), 1989 (Taylor's Version) (No. 67), Reputation (No. 101), Red (Taylor's Version) (No. 155), and finally, Evermore (No. 199).
