Taylor Swift returns with another massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated Nov. 11), as all 21 songs from the standard edition of her latest re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), land on the latest Billboard Hot 100.
The set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, her 13th leader, with 1.653 million equivalent album units earned in its opening week (Oct. 27-Nov. 2), according to Luminate. That’s not only the largest one-week total of 2023, but the biggest week for any album since the opening week of Adele’s 25 in November 2015 (3.482 million). Of the new set’s 1.653 million units, 1.359 million are from album sales, marking Swift’s largest sales week for a title to date.
Of Swift’s 22 total entries on the Hot 100 – all 21 from the new set, plus “Cruel Summer” (which falls to No. 6 after two weeks at No. 1) – 19 debut and two re-enter: “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” and “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” at Nos. 20 and 43, respectively, both new highs. Her re-recorded “Wildest Dreams” charted for one week at No. 37 in October 2021, after it appeared in the trailer for the 2021 DreamWorks Animation film Spirit Untamed, while the new version of “This Love” spent one frame, at No. 50, on the chart in May 2022, after its appearance in the trailer for the Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty.
