Tay Tay sure isn’t going out of style.
Just 19 weeks since its release, Taylor Swift‘s latest album “1989” has now outsold both her last two albums. The album sold another 44,000 copies in the week ending March 8th, according to Nielsen Music, lifting the title’s total sales to 4.505 million.
1989 already topped the sales of Swift’s previous album, 2012’s “Red” (4.160 million after 124 weeks) a few weeks ago and has now jumped past her earlier album, 2010’s “Speak Now” (4.480 million after 228 weeks) in the latest tracking week.
Tay Tay’s latest album “1989”, was the top selling album of 2014 (3.661 million sold that year) and it remains the top seller of 2015 so far. The album debuted No. #1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 1.287 million sold in its first week.
Selling millions of albums comes as nothing new for Swift, of course.
What’s shocking is the sales story of “1989”‘s sales rate. In just 19 weeks, it has surpassed the sales of what was her third-biggest seller, which has been on sale for 228 weeks.
But seriously, is anyone really surprised? “1989” is packed with hits including “Blank Space“, “Shake It Off” and “Style”, so we’re pretty sure it’s just going to keep making more sales.
We leave you today with “Style” by Taylor Swift.
