Taylor Swift’s folklore debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 47,000 total consumption units and earning the highest album sales, on-demand streams and digital songs for the week. It is her seventh chart-topping album, all of which have debuted at the No. 1 position. It is the second-highest one-week consumption total so far in 2020, surpassed only by The Weeknd’s After Hours in its first week of release in late March. It is also the highest one-week consumption total for a female artist since Celine Dion’s Courage in November 2019. Her catalogue also posts chart gains, including her last album, Lover, moving 25-17, and 1989 bulleting 98-68.
