RS charts: Taylor Swift’s new ‘fearless’ scores biggest debut of 2021

Taylor Swift’s re-recording of Fearless exploded at number one at the latest Rolling clip Top 200 Albums Chart, Morgan Wallen’s record for the biggest debut of 2021. And it was not the only record she broke: With Fearless (Taylor’s Version), she also broke the record for most number one albums in history, by four.

Tell me everything, Fearless (Taylor’s version) collected more than 290,000 album-equivalent units – 177,000 album sales and 136 million audio-on-demand streams – which is about five times as many as Justin Bieber’s Justice (Number three) and Rod Wave’s SoulFly (Number Four).

Swift’s high-flying first week is all the more remarkable when taken into account Fearless initially appeared in 2008 and has been platinum certified ten times by the RIAA – many of her fans own all of these songs. But Swift does not own the original album’s master recording, and she announces that she plans to record her own version Fearless – along with five of her other albums – in 2019.

The new set contains 26 tracks, including six songs from the vault that have not been released before. While Fearless (Taylor’s version) selected as number one, Swift also enjoyed two other albums in the Top 40 – Folklore and Always – and a few more in the Top 100.

Another ubiquitous presence this week RS 200 was DMX: fans flock to his albums after the rapper passed away at the age of 50 earlier this month. It’s dark and hell is hot, originally released in 1998, jumped to number eight with 31.8 million streams. In addition The best of DMX moved to number 11 (21.5 million streams), And then there was X climbed to number 17 (21.1 million), and Flesh of my flesh, Blood of my blood arrived at number 37 (15.9 million).

The Rolling clip 200 Albums hits the most popular releases of the week in the United States. Entries are arranged by album units, a number that combines digital and physical album sales, digital song sales, and audio streams using a personal weight system. The graph does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio. The RS 200 Albums Card is updated daily and weekly Rolling clip finalize and publish an official version of the chart ending the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.

The biggest debut for a new album that was not a remake of an oldie belongs to Brockhampton. Roadrunner: New light, new machine 17.3 million streams picked up, good to get to number 18. Luke Bryan Born Here Live Lord The Lord jumped to number 26 after the release of a luxury version with six new songs.
