This is panning out to be a pretty big week for Taylor Swift
(and it’s only Tuesday). Besides becoming New York’s official celebrity ambassador, hosting rooftop and living
room listening parties for fans, hanging out with her cats and serving as mentor
on a little show called The Voice, the country princess
turned new Queen of Pop just released her highly anticipated fifth studio album
1989 and it’s already breaking records.
According to
Billboard, the latest album had an initial sales forecast of 750,000 which
was upped to 800,000 and finally anticipated to sell 900,000 records in its
opening week but now, after only one day of sales, 1989
is on track to break the million mark by the end of the week. If that holds
true, Swift will be the first artist to have three albums sell that many copies
in one week (both Red and Speak
Now also broke that threshold). Those numbers will also make 1989 the 19th album to break one million in one week since
Nielsen SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991 and first studio album to sell
one million copies in 2014.
