So far this season, Evermore has climbed by around 60 percent on multiple Billboard lists, peaking at No. 29 on the Top Album Sales chart, compiled from both sales and streams, as well as hitting No. 12 on the Vinyl Albums Chart and even making the top 20 for Alternative Albums and Rock and Alternative Albums. It amounts to around 3,000 copies sold in a week — and yes, that means there are 3,000 people in the country who didn’t already own it.
