Taylor Swift towers taller than ever before with her new studio album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’
Full story below…
With the numbers tallied and verified, the superstar’s 12th effort launches in pole position on the coveted count with seismic sales of:
4.002 Million Units
(Sales Plus Streams)
In delivering such a dynamite sum, Swift shatters Adele’s record for the highest first week sales of the Nielsen Soundscan era. The British belter held the honor for 10 years, following the 3.4 million Stateside start for 2015’s ‘25.’ A sum that hadn’t been bested…until now.
Interestingly, even sans streams, Swift will have broken the record with the project’s pure sales alone, which stand at 3,479,500.
The release of ‘Showgirl’ was supported by 31 variants, spanning formats such as vinyl, CD, and a seemingly growing array of digital iterations.


Adele is the better vocalist.
Congrats To Taylor. She shattered Adele and your faves record so be it. Give credit where is due.
Adele hasnt got 28 versions like this skinnyass fraud girl
Adele is the better everything fym😆
That’s your opinion and a false one. It’s not her fault that you’re not buying or support your fave album that’s why they tanked. And what’s your talent really? SMH. The hateration is real and keeps on crying bish. Hahahaha
Congrats To Taylor!
But
Why you have to do Adele dirty like that with that picture lol 😂
I’ve noticed it too lol 😂 but TGJ deleted it. You guys are funny as hell 🤣
Only took her 15 albums to do.
Yet no one else ever did..
She had to beat a lady who was only two albums in, but ok.
I found this American next-door girl is very uninteresting. from head to toe is so basic and music are generic af. The new album is super boring.
Fraud , she bought this herself. And what all she pay for comes right back to her. SAD. SMMFH!🤔
Biggest artist ever
Delusional. That wack ass AI album will never sell 70 million +
Thats cause streaming is a thing and YouTube. No one needs to pay for music.. Yet Taylor has tge biggest opening week jn history. Says it all really.
8 albums selling 1 million plus in a week.. Also no one has done it
Bye b****. MJ sold 70+ million without having to create over 30 versions to basically cheat the system. Taylor’s fans only care about stats and collecting, music comes last. Now let me know when she sells 70+ million on that record
Why you using such bad language? Cant maks your point without it? All artist can release as many versions as they want. Dont hate tge player, hate the gane.
Mj wouldn’t sell anything like that, if iy was released in 2025, and you know it. And the fact that you have to bring up MJ, just shows me that you realise how big she is.
Lmk when she sells 70 million of that album 🫠 which will never happen.
Link me when another he sells 70 million in 2025. Ill wait
What demographic of people are buying up her music? 4 million first week is crazy.
Well being there are 203 million whites in the US, that’s roughly 2 percent of that population alone, if everyone bought 1 copy. Which we know didn’t happen cause the average Swifty probably bought 4 lol
Ehh white people only make up 10 percent of the world’s. POC make up 90 percent. POC are the vast majority.
Maybe POC woukd just rather listen to nusic free on YouTube, rather than pay..
Taylor is the greatest
Yet whites make up a much larger percentage in America, which is where the record was just broken. Try again b****, Taylor is nothing but a greedy, manipulative, off key capitalist and her fans are complete idiots with too much money to burn
Taylor is the greatest artist, her sales in this climate, are unmatched, 8 albums selling 1million plus will never be broken. When was the last artist to have 2 albums that sold one million in a week?… Nkw try 8.
Lmk when that album sells 70 million copies. Without 30 variants. I’ll wait 🙃
Link me when he sells that in 2025.. Ill wait.
The only good thing about this headline is the fact that an actual American now holds the record for the American chart
What is this girl running a cult? Lol how tf she sell $3.4 mill in pure sells? I don’t think anyone is beating that.
Wow Cowboy Carter did a tenth of that…Beyonce really aint the queen the beyhive say she is LOL
