With this brand new achievement, Taylor Swift has pushed countless records, large and small, bringing the singer achievements that are hard to match. It is even more impressive when "folklore" not only reached a huge sales, but also received countless compliments from music sites with high scores. "folklore" is the 7th consecutive album # 1 in Taylor Swift's career, making her the artist with the third # 1 album in history, only behind Barbra Streisand (11 albums) and Madonna (9 albums). ). The Beatles still holds the highest record with a total of 19 albums reaching number one.
"folklore" also helped Taylor Swift become the female artist with the most debut albums at the Billboard 200 Champion ever. Previously, this achievement was co-held by the singer along with Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga (6 albums each). In the past 3 years, the top 3 albums in the first week of each year belong to Taylor Swift, respectively: "folklore" (2020) - 846 thousand copies, "Lover" (2019) - 867 thousand version, "Reputation" (2017) - 1,238 million copies.

Overall, in 2020, the streaming of "folklore" ranked No. 3, still losing albums from 2 male rappers Juice WRLD and Lil Uzi Vert but still ranked first in the pop segment.
Despite bringing a series of achievements and records for Taylor Swift, this album is the lowest weekly sales album in Taylor Swift's past 10 years. However, with an album released only 12 hours after the announcement, without any promotional performances due to the Covid-19 epidemic in the US, 864 thousand units were sold during the week.
