I know I'm a bit slow at posting this but here goes anyway.
On Oct 27th, Taylor released her 5th studio album and on the week ending Nov 2. Taylor sold 1.287 Million copies of her album 1989 making it the highest selling debut album since well her previous album RED came out in 2012.
Actually its the highest sales week since 2002 when Eminem's album "The Eminem Show" sold 1.322 million copies in its second charting week.
1989 gives Taylor her 4th No.1 album behind Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010) and Red (2012) and 3rd album to go platinum in its first week behind Speak Now (1.047Mil) and Red (1.208Mil).
This gives Taylor the crown of being the first artist ever to have 3 consecutive albums all go platinum in first week sales.
With 1989, Taylor is the first person to top the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 at the same time.
