2:51 PM Taylor Swift 's 1989 Numbers Are In, And They ’ re… Wow | |
Let’s pause on the 2014 midterm elections for a hot sec to check in on the other results Americans have been eagerly awaiting: Taylor Swift’s first-week sales for 1989.So, did the “Blank Space” singer go platinum? Shuh-DOBVIOUSLY. According to Billboard, her fifth studio album sold a grand total of 1.287 million copies on the Nielsen SoundScan in the week ending. November 2. Wait, wait, wait — we’ve gotta let that soak in.When will your faves? Maybe in the year 2002. No, seriously — according to Billboard, Taylor’s is the largest sales week for an album since Eminem’s The Eminem Show was released 12 years ago.
Additionally, 1989 is already the biggest-selling LP released this year (sorry, Coldplay), and now the second-biggest-seller of 2014 after the “Frozen” soundtrack’s tbh terrifying 3.2 million sales. (Don’t let it go, Tay. You must crush them — and their little talking snowman thing, too.) And if all that’s not enough (IT’S NOT IT NEVER IS), Swift is now the only artist who can claim three million-selling album sales weeks under her belt. That’s Kendrick Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” Tay’s lip-synching along to, btw. As she told Rolling Stone back in September, it’s one of her go-to pump-up jams. Wonder if she’s listened to K-Dot’s cover of “Shake It Off” yet? “Industry experts predicted 1989 would sell 650k first week,” Swift wrote in the Instagram video’s caption. “You went and bought 1.287 million albums.” | |
