Scanning the Charts β Billboard 200 & Hot 100 (1/16/21): Taylor Swift returns to no. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Evermore.
SCANNING THE CHARTS is just what it says it is. I, the quirky founder and do-it-all at The Musical Hype scans through the Billboard Charts and picks out things that catch my eye. To reiterate what I said last week (Playboi Carti Debuts at No. 1), this column wonβt be extensive, but rather short and sweet, keeping that moving. This week, I picked out three notable observations
from the Billboard 200
, and three observations
from the Billboard Hot 100
, with
Taylor Swift returning at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 with
Evermore.

Taylor Swift returns to the top spot with
Evermore after slipping to no. 2 last week. The numbers are definitely reflective of the slow start often experienced in the new year, to the tune of 56,000 units per Keith Caulfield. Also, worth noting, while Evermore ascends,
folklore descends from no. 6 to no. 10 in its 24th week.
Surprisingly,
Lil Durk sees
The Voice ascend a second straight week from no. 3 to no. 2, though with no gain. 5.
Interestingly, after earning his first no. 1 album last week,
Playboi Carti sees his sophomore album,
Whole Lotta Red, slip from no. 1 to no.
Billboard Hot 100
Guess who remains no. 1 on the Hot 100? That would be
βMoodβ by
24kGoldn and
iann dior. Enough said.
Justin Bieber debuts at no. 6 on the Hot 100 with his latest single,
βAnyoneβ.
Sure, they get lots of grief, but
AJR ascend into the top 10 (no. 11 to no. 9) with their hit single, βBang!β.
