Taylor Swift’s new album has sold 1.287 million copies in its first week.
Nielsen SoundScan announced late on November 4 that 1989 earned the largest sales in a week for an album since Eminem’s The Eminem Show sold 1.322 million units in 2002.
Swift is the only artist to have three albums push more than 1 million units in its debut week: 2012’s Red sold 1.208 million and 2010’s Speak Now sold 1.047 million copies.
The 24-year-old’s fifth album features the smash hit, Shake It Off. She will launch a world tour next year.
