On its first day of release (October 3), Taylor Swift The Life of a Showgirl, sold 2.7 million copies in physical/digital purchases across all versions of the album, according to initial reports to data tracking firm Luminate reports Billboard.
It’s Swift’s biggest week ever, and the second-largest sales week for any album in the modern era — since electronically tracking data in 1991. Adele’s 25 holds the record with 3.378 million copies sold in its first week in 2015.
It also sold the most copies of a vinyl album in a single week with 1.2 million. That breaks the single-week record, set by Swift in 2024, when her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, sold 859,000 copies on vinyl in its first week.
