Taylor Swift Holds at No. 1 on Artist 100, Dolly Parton & ENHYPEN Reach Top 10

Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 87th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Dec. 2), thanks to the continued success of her latest re-recorded LP, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), as well as nine additional albums on the Billboard 200 and six songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) logged its first two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and ranks at No. 2 in its fourth week on the list with 137,000 equivalent album units earned Nov. 17-23, according to Luminate. It debuted with 1.653 million equivalent album units – the largest one-week total since the debut of Adele’s 25 (3.482 million; Nov. 15, 2015).

This is the fifth week that Swift has charted four albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 simultaneously, after she did so on the charts dated July 22 and 29 and Aug. 19 and 26. Only two other acts have each charted at least four albums in the top 10 simultaneously: Herb Albert, who landed four on April 2, 1966, and Prince, who charted five on May 14, 2016, after his death that April.

On the Hot 100, Swift charts six songs, led by “Cruel Summer” at No. 2, following four weeks on top. Next up, all from 1989 (Taylor’s Version): “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 9, after spending one week at No. 1); “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 56); “Slut! (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 76); “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 81); and “Style (Taylor’s Version)” (No. 91).

Dolly Parton re-enters the Artist 100 at No. 3, a new high, thanks to the opening week of her album Rockstar. The set debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 – a new personal best for Parton – and No. 1 on both the Top Country Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts with 128,000 units.

ENHYPEN returns to the Artist 100 at No. 5, powered by the group’s new set Orange Blood. The album arrives at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 90,000 units, becoming the act’s third top 10.

The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
