Taylor Swift has a lot to be happy about this Halloween! Her new album, Red, sold 1.208 million copies last week in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's more than any album has sold in a single week since 2002, when Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1.322 million in its first full week. With those kind of numbers, Swift is the clear #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week making it her third #1 album on the chart. The lead single from Red, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" scored Taylor her first ever #1 song on Billboard's Hot 200 earlier this year. |
With the impressive amount of records sold in it's first week, Red is already the 3rd biggest album of the year so far. Currently the #1 album is Adele's 21, in order to overtake Adele, Billboard says Swift would have to sell more copies than she ever has in a calendar year. And if she manages to do that, it will be the second time Taylor has landed that honor, her Fearless album was 2009's biggest album, with 3.217 million copies sold that year.
