Taylor Swift has had quite the year in 2020 releasing two films, Miss Americana and Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions and two albums, Folkore and Evermore.

Both albums reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Evermore was released on December 11 and it’s earned 329,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending December 17. The album is the sister album to Folklore which was released in August.

Swift is the first woman to score two No. 1’s on the Billboard 200 chart in 2020. BTS also had two number ones with Be and Map of the Soul: 7 and YoungBoy Never Broke Again scored two No. 1’s with Top and 38 Baby 2.

Her song “Willow” from the album reached No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 songs charts. The song is her seventh Hot 100 leader and her second of 2020. The singer is the first to have a song debut atop both charts simultaneously twice. She was the first to achieve this when Folklore and its single Cardigan debuted atop the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts on August 8.
