Taylor Swift, once again, has the number one album in the country: Taylor Swift’s Folklore spends a fifth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, tying Lil Baby’s My Turn for the most weeks atop the list in 2020. Folklore further becomes the first album to rule for five weeks in a row at No. 1 since Drake’s Scorpion also logged its first frames at No. 1 (July 14-Aug. 11, 2018-dated charts). more Not all embedded content is displayed here.

That’s what really stood out to me. I know that for 98% of artists, moving physical copies of their music just isn’t a focus anymore but only 37K? I mean, rock is dead in 2020, so what else were people expecting?
it probably didn't help that the vinyl for the new Killers album isn't available yet - who the fuck is really buying CDs?
The Killers also strike me as a band who would have done the "bundle an album with merch" thing had the rules not recently changed.
I don't know if I am just completely out of the loop but I thought this would do 90K and hopefully clear 100K with the positive reviews. I am very caught off guard by that number.
