Taylor Swift tops the Billboard 200 album chart with her latest remake, while BTS’ Jung Kook opens at No. 2 and a posthumous release from Jimmy Buffett lands in the Top 10.

“1989 (Taylor’s Version),” a re-recording of Swift’s nine-year-old LP, remains at No. 1 for the second time after a massive debut, when the new edition surpassed the original’s opening week sales figures. In its second week after release, the “1989” remake had the equivalent of 245,000 sales in the United States, including 160 million streams and 122,000 copies sold as a complete package, according to data from the tracking service Luminate.

Jung Kook, the latest member of K-pop kings BTS to release a solo album during the group’s hiatus, starts at No. 2 with “Golden,” which racked up nearly 42 million streams and sold 128,500 copies as a complete album, mostly on CD . Jung Kook – whose name is sometimes spelled Jungkook – had a number 1 single this summer with ‘Seven’, featuring rapper Latto.

Buffett, the “Margaritaville” singer who died of skin cancer in September at age 76, opens at No. 6 with “Equal Strain on All Parts,” which Buffett recorded this year and completed before his death. Featuring guest spots from Emmylou Harris, Angélique Kidjo and others – Paul McCartney plays bass on one track – ‘Equal Strain’ sold 51,000 copies.

Also this week, Drake’s “For All the Dogs” is at No. 3, Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” is at No. 4 and Bad Bunny’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana” is at No. 5.
