Projections for
Taylor Swift's
Red (Taylor's Version) have continued to grow, with the dart currently aimed in the 570k range. You may recall that earlier this year, the
Republic superstar's
evermore set established the modern chart record for most vinyl albums sold in a single week: 102k. She’ll do it again this week, with projections for the redone
Red on vinyl expected to hit as high as 110k.
Of course Tay is also streaming up a storm. Her 10-minute reworking of the
Red cut "All Too Well" unseated the mighty
Adele from the #1 perch on the
Spotify and
Apple Music charts. On the Spot's U.S. Top 50, Swift owns six of the Top 10 tracks and 13 of the Top 20.
The 30th anniversary of Nirvana's
Nevermind (
Geffen) sends the album back into the Top 15, while last week’s
CMA Awards and a vinyl sale at
Walmart return
Chris Stapleton’s
Traveller and
Starting Over (both
Mercury Nashville) to the Top 20.

Now if you'll excuse us, we'd like to get started on that turkey.
