Taylor Swift's '1989 (Taylor's Version)' Shatters Records with Massive Sales Debut
Taylor Swift's rerecorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version), has become the top-selling album in America for 2023 in under a week, topping the Billboard 200, vinyl albums, and streaming albums charts. With over 1.6 million units sold in the U.S. and over 3.5 million globally, Swift becomes the first artist to achieve six No. 1 album debuts with over 1 million units sold. This release surpasses the first-week sales of the original 1989 album, making it the first Taylor Version to have a bigger debut than the original. The album also broke the record for the most-streamed Spotify album in a single day. This is Swift's fourth rerelease following Scooter Braun's acquisition of her masters, and it includes all the original songs plus five new vault tracks.
