Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart

11/20/2017 by Keith Caulfield

 

Taylor Swift’s Reputation blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 2017’s biggest week for an album, as the set earned 1.238 million equivalent album units in the week ending Nov. 16, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 1.216 million were in traditional album sales -- the largest sales frame for an album since 2015.

 

Reputation is Swift’s sixth studio album and was released on Nov. 10 through Big Machine Records. It is her fifth No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

 

Reputation’s whopping 1.216 million sales figure is the biggest sales week of 2017, and the 10th largest sales week for any album since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking sales in 1991. Further, Reputation secures Swift her fourth million-selling week. She is the only artist in Nielsen Music history to achieve four million-selling weeks. (Previously, both Swift and Adele had three million-selling frames.)

 

Swift earlier earned million-selling weeks with the debut weeks of each of her last three studio albums: 1989 (1.287 million in 2014), Red (1.208 million, 2012) and Speak Now (1.047 million, 2010).

 

The album’s 1.216 million sales start is the largest week for any album since the week ending Nov. 26, 2015, when Adele’s 25 debuted with a Nielsen Music-era one-week record of 3.378 million copies. (25 is the only album with multiple million-selling weeks. Following its debut, it sold 1.112 million in its second week, and 1.157 million in its fifth frame.)

 

Reputation’s equivalent album unit figure of 1.238 million is the largest week for any album this year and the biggest since Adele’s 25 bowed with 3.482 million units in the tracking week ending Nov. 26, 2015.

 

Reputation’s unit total of 1.238 million is mostly comprised of traditional album sales (1.216 million albums sold), along with a small number of TEA units (8,000) and SEA units (13,000) from the album’s four songs that were available to purchase a la carte through digital retailers and stream via on-demand audio services during the album’s first week of availability.

 

As previously reported, Reputation is already the best-selling album of 2017. With 1.216 million sold, it surpassed the total sales of the year’s previous No. 1 seller, Ed Sheeran’s ÷, which has sold 931,000 through Nov. 16.

 

Of Reputation’s starting sales sum of 1.216 million, the set sold 709,000 digital albums in its first week -- the third-largest sales week for a digital album in Nielsen Music history. It trails only the debut of Adele’s 25 (1.64 million) and the opening frame of Drake’s Views (852,000 in 2016). Reputation’s digital sales figure is particularly noteworthy, considering the digital version of the album was sold exclusively through the iTunes Store and Swift’s official website during its first week. (The album has since become widely available.)

 

Further, Reputation also sold 507,000 physical copies in its debut frame (all on CD). That’s the biggest week for a physical album since Adele’s 25 sold 1.03 million copies on CD and vinyl LP in the week ending Dec. 24, 2015 -- its fifth week of release. Reputation was promoted heavily through Target stores, where the album was available in two exclusive editions, bundled with a Swift-curated magazine. (No bonus tracks were featured on any version of the album, CD or digital.)

 

Reputation’s overall album sales were likely enhanced to a degree by how the full album was not available on streaming services during release week. (Adele’s 25 also was withheld from streaming services in its debut frame, save for its lead single, “Hello.”)

 

At No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 chart, Sam Smith’s The Thrill of It All slips one rung to No. 2 in its second week (66,000 units; down 72 percent). Chris Brown’s Heartbreak on a Full Moon is steady at No. 3 (51,000 units; down 31 percent) and Post Malone’s Stoney climbs 9-4, returning to its peak (39,000 units; down 3 percent). Ed Sheeran’s ÷ climbs 10-5 with just under 39,000 units (up 7 percent).

 

21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin’ s collaborative album Without Warning falls 5-6 with 37,000 units (down 33 percents) and Maroon 5’s Red Pill Blues drops 2-7 in its second week with 36,000 units (down 70 percent).

 

The second and final debut in the top 10 comes from rock band Evanescence, which starts at No. 8 with its new album Synthesis (34,000 units; 30,000 in traditional album sales). The set features orchestral reworkings of the group’s earlier songs, including “Bring Me to Life,” in addition to few new tunes. Synthesis is Evanescence’s first album since its 2011 self-titled release, which debuted at No. 1. The new album is the group’s fourth top 10 effort, following Evanescence, The Open Door (No. 1 in 2006) and Fallen (No. 3, 2003).

 

Rounding out the top 10: Kenny Chesney’s Live in No Shoes Nation dips 6-9 (33,000 units; down 37 percent) and Blake Shelton’s Texoma Shore falls 4-10 (32,000 units; down 49 percent).
