As has been predicted all week long, Taylor Swift‘s latest re-recorded album – ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)‘ – not only entered the Billboard 200 at #1 but was accompanied by some record-breaking figures.
Taylor Swift’s ‘1989 (TV)’
First-Week Sales (SPS): 1.65 million
First-Week Sales (Pure): 1.36 million
First-Week Billboard 200 Position: #1
With a whopping 1.65 million total sales attached to its inaugural sales week, ‘1989 (TV)’ catapulted to the top of the Billboard 200 with her biggest first-week sales yet and the biggest total of any artist this year.
The previous titleholder was Swift herself when her ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ dropped jaws with the 716,000 units it sold during its opening week.
In fact, the ‘1989 (TV)’ sum was so large it marks the highest first-week sales any effort has boasted since Adele‘s ‘25‘ opened to 3.38 million in November 2015.
According to Billboard, sales of Swift’s latest were “enhanced by its availability in 15 collectible physical formats: five color vinyl variants, eight CD editions and two cassette editions” – this is separate from its multiple digital and deluxe versions.
The effort’s gargantuan opening marks the sixth time Taylor has sold over 1 million copies of an album in one week following ‘Midnights,’ ‘reputation,’ the original ‘1989,’ ‘Red,’and ‘Speak Now,’ making her the only act in music history with six different projects to sell 1 million copies each in one week.
With the inclusion of ‘1989 (TV),’ the Pop diva extends her record for most #1 hits on the Billboard 200 (among women). The only acts to have amassed as many or more chart-toppers than her are The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), and Drake (13).
Only album in history to both debut with over a million with the same album on 2 seperate occasions.
Biggest diets week sales in UK as well this year so far.
She’s breaking records. She is the music industry.
#FLOP 💯
All those albums and only 12 grammys and only 10 #1 hits. 😆 🤣 😂
Taylor only has 2 million super fans…
These numbers are extremely LOW for an artist with almost 300 millionn Instagram followers
#FLOP 💯
Taylor has 275 million, Beyonce has way more instra followers and her last few albums sold no where near. So I suppose Beyonce sales are extremely low for someone with well over 300 Million

Beyoncé sold 13k in looking lmfaoooooo
*lionking
When will Beyoncé?
Lion King 13k lol 😂
HOW? I don’t understand the hype surrounding her. She can’t sing, can’t dance, lip syncs and her music (singles – I don’t listen to her albums) are vapid fluff.
She’s SAFE.
Her music is well written (by her) and easily digestible. She appears to be sweet and doesn’t take herself too seriously. No heir of pretentiousness. She plays an instrument. SHE INTERACTS WITH HER FANS. She keeps them fed. Great marketing and beautiful gowns.
Taylor has played the game better than MOST. I respect it.
Taylor’s 1st week smashed Beyoncé’s total Renaissance sales in US lol 😂. That’s embarrassing to some of arrogant beehives
Wow just wow. Taylor is indeed the music superstar. She is humble and nice to people.
U need a life and a hobby Racist clown 🤡

Why can’t you bunch of hateful ass sissies, congratulate Taylor and just keep it moving? Was there really a need to bring up ,Beyonce, and whoever else?The irony is most the people talking trash favorite artist has yet to move over 275K-400k in a week.
Congrats Taylor,I’ll never buy an album or single from you personally,but her doing such strong numbers shows that she and her marketing team understand her fan base and in this day in age when people are making excuses for people doing less than 50K in their first week,it’s refreshing to see any artist move 1 Million units in a week. Problem is majority of you lot are nothing but haters,if it isn’t your fave of course!
Thiefonce could never even with her porno album
😉
THE REAL QUEEN OF POP TBH! the fact that she outsell renaissance, guts, chromatica, smile, etc in a matter of hours or days is HILARIOUS!
Adele looks 50 years old and Rich Paul don’t love her ass
Ain’t Adele stan saying the truth tho? Lmfaooooo. Adele is looking gorgeous.
6 albums in a row selling a million first week? that’s impressive something I’d expect overrated and overhyped Beyonce to do.
Beyonce Katy and Gaga fans are so f****** jealous.
Congrats Taylor .

I don’t understand why everyone keeps comparing artists with each other and look down on them. Every artists are great in their own way, and different ppl have different taste of music. About Taylor and Beyonce, I love them both but Taytay will forever be the best artist for me. She is a brilliant songwriter. She couldn’t sing well in the past (like before 2015), but her vocal now has improved a lot and she can belt, reach high notes and can sing at really low notes too. Overall, I just want ppl stop hating artists and learn to respect each other.
