Taylor performs her new single Begin Again at the CMAs.

So simple and pure yet she’s broken the record for most albums sold in a week in the past 10 years!! Tell that to all the pop artists out there now that are SO over the top and think that bright colored wigs and controversal lyrics will sell records. 

Nope…just pure talent.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ Sells 1.21 Million – Biggest Sales Week for an Album Since 2002

It’s official: Taylor Swift’s “Red” sold a whopping 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 at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. 

“Red” also easily debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, scoring Swift her third chart-topper. 

“Red” is only the 18th album to sell a million units in a single week since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. Its start ranks as the eighth-biggest sales week in that span of time. The SoundScan-era record week is held by NSync’s “No Strings Attached,” when it debuted at No. 1 with 2.416 million in 2000.

Swift’s sizzling start is also the second-largest sales frame for a female artist. Only Britney Spears had a bigger week, when “Oops! … I Did It Again” sold 1.319 million in its debut in 2000. 

As we projected last week, the blockbuster set marks the first album to move a million copies in a week since May of 2011, when Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” blasted in with 1.108 million in its No. 1 debut. However, “Red’s” number is a bit bigger than the 1.100 million that had been forecasted by industry sources. 

Red” also makes Swift the only woman to have two million-selling weeks since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. The country/pop star earlier earned a million week when her last studio release, 2010’s “Speak Now,” launched with 1.047 million.

Taylor Swift’s “Red” To Sell 1 Million In It’s First Week

“Taylor Swift is poised to become the first female artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991 to present) to have a pair of albums sell more than a million units in a single week. 
  
According to industry sources, first-day sales for "Red” (Monday, Oct. 22) surpassed 500,000 units, including a record opening day sum at Target, as the mass-merchant scored exclusive rights to the album’s deluxe version which includes three additional songs and three remixes. According to sources, Target shifted more than 160,000 units.“

Though not confirmed, unit sales at the iTunes Music Store appears to have also been record-setting. The digital retailer reportedly accounted for nearly half of all units sold on "Red’s” first day of availability. With that start, “Red” should break the first-week iTunes sales mark, recently set by Mumford & Sons “Babel,” which moved roughly 390,000 units just three weeks ago, according to those in the know. The projected first-day sales of “Red” along with full-week estimates from industry prognosticators point to the set most likely surpassing the 1-million sales mark in its debut frame.
