With the autumn season coming, Taylor Swift’s albums Folklore and Evermore resurges on Billboard charts

As the autumn season approaches, Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Evermore albums, both originally released in 2020, have seen a significant resurgence on the Billboard charts. Swift’s surprise pandemic-era releases have become annual autumn staples, with fans—both old and new—embracing the albums’ reflective, folk-inspired sound as the weather cools and comfort listening becomes a priority.

Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Evermore albums:

Considering the recent data from Billboard, Evermore has climbed by 60 percent across multiple charts since October began. It currently sits at No. 29 on the Top Album Sales chart, with about 3,000 copies sold in the past week alone. Even more impressively, it has risen to No. 12 on the Vinyl Albums Chart and has cracked the top 20 for both the Alternative Albums and Rock and Alternative Albums charts. For an album that first debuted nearly four years ago, Evermore continues to demonstrate enduring popularity, particularly in the fall season.

Swift’s sister album, Folklore, has also seen a notable boost, rising 13 spots on the Billboard 200. This leap puts it ahead of newer releases by artists such as Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo, proving that Swift’s thoughtful, introspective songwriting still resonates deeply with fans. Both Folklore and Evermore feature moody, folky melodies, making them ideal companions for chilly autumn days spent indoors.

The resurgence of these albums comes as no surprise to longtime Swift fans, who have often referred to Folklore and Evermore as “autumn albums” due to their cozy, contemplative themes. When Swift initially released these albums during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, they provided a sense of comfort and introspection for listeners. The albums’ success was immediate, with Evermore debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, remaining there for four weeks. Folklore similarly topped the chart, making Swift the first female artist to release two No. 1 albums in the same year.

Songs like “Champagne Problems,” “My Tears Ricochet,” and “Willow” have remained fan favorites, contributing to the albums’ continued chart presence. As fall rolls on, it’s clear that Swift’s pandemic-era releases have carved out a lasting place in the seasonal soundtrack of many listeners.
