The album earned 56,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 7 (down 22%), according to MRC Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album, now in its fourth week on the chart, spent its first two weeks atop the list (charts dated Dec. 26, 2020, and Jan. 2, 2021), before stepping aside to No. 2 for a week (Jan. 9 chart) when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/playboi-carti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Playboi Carti<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Whole Lotta Red<\/em>&nbsp;bowed at No. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With\u00a0<em>Evermore<\/em>\u2019s third week in the lead, Swift now has a cumulative 51 weeks at No. 1 across all eight of her chart-topping albums.

Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid\/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 16, 2021-dated chart (where&nbsp;<em>Evermore<\/em>&nbsp;returns to No. 1) will be posted in full on&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&#8216;s website on Jan. 12.

The new edition boasts two additional songs. (All versions of the album are combined for tracking purposes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Evermore<\/em>&nbsp;captures the smallest unit total for a No. 1 album in nearly two years, since&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/a-boogie-wit-da-hoodie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Boogie Wit da Hoodie<\/a>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Hoodie SZN<\/em>&nbsp;was No. 1 on the chart dated Feb. 16, 2019, with just 47,000 units.
