“Folklore,” the eighth album by Taylor Swift, has gone down as the No. 1 album of 2020, finishing the year with 2.3 million album units. It pulled ahead of Lil Baby’s star-making sophomore effort, “My Turn,” which came in second in 2.1 million.

The results come via Rolling Stone, which broke down the year’s music consumption data into several different year-end charts, with the differences providing some interesting points of comparison. For instance: Swift’s “Folklore” also tops the list of the year’s biggest sellers and Lil Baby is nowhere to be found in that particular top 10. On the other hand, Lil Baby easily landed atop a ranking of the year’s biggest streamers and Swift is absent from that top 10.

On the overall list of the top 100 albums of 2020  which represents a combination of streaming and sales data. Swift and Lil Baby albums were followed in the top 10 by efforts from Pop Smoke, the Weeknd, Juice WRLD, Post Malone, Roddy Ricch, Luke Combs, Harry Styles and, getting its shot at No. 10 for the year, the “Hamilton” cast album.
