Taylor Swift Continues Her Albums Chart Domination

By FYI Staff

Taylor Swift’s folklore returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 11,000 total consumption units and racking up the highest album sales total for the week. It is the album’s fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1, making it her second-longest-running chart-topping release to date, surpassed only by 1989, which held the No. 1 position for nine weeks in late 2014.


Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon drops to No. 2 with the highest on-demand stream total for the week, and Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die remains at No. 3.

Three new releases debut in the top ten, led by Metallica & The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra’s S&M2, at No. 4. It is the band’s highest-charting album since 2016’s Hardwired…To Self-Destruct entered at No. 1 and it matches the No. 4 peak of their first team up on S & M in December 1999.
