Taylor Swift has achieved the best first week's sales week of any artist since 2002, having sold 1.287 million copies of 1989 in its first week.
Swift's fourth album has become her fourth No.1 record, making her the first artist to sell one million albums in a week on three separate occasions.
Swift is unsurprisingly delighted with the news. She posted on Instagram “Industry experts predicted 1989 would sell 650k first week. You went and bought 1.287 million albums. AND IT’S GOT ME LIKE …” accompanying a video of the singer miming along to Kendrick Lamar's 'Backseat Freestyle'.
This week Swift controversially removed her entire back catalogue from Spotify, leading to the streaming service pleading (in character): "Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there’s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It’s a love story, baby, just say, Yes."
