Other albums to see a benefit from their appearance on the BRIT Awards are George Ezra’s Wanted On Voyage, which climbs two places to Number 4 this week with chart sales of 22,000 and Taylor Swift’s 1989, which lifts three places to Number 5, selling 15,000 copies.
Taylor Swift's "1989" has sold more than 750,000 year-to-date copies in the US. It is still 2015's best seller.
2015 has welcomed high-profile, successful releases from like Meghan Trainor’s “Title,” Fall Out Boy’s “American Beauty/American Psycho,” the “50 Shades of Grey” soundtrack, Drake’s “If You’re Reading This it’s Too Late” and Imagine Dragons’ “Smoke + Mirrors,” but Taylor Swift’s “1989” comfortably remains the year-to-date best seller.
The album, which debuted in late October 2014 and quickly became that year’s best seller, claims a year-to-date US sales total of 753,000 copies (according to Billboard/Soundscan data for the tracking week ending February 22). The album arrives at that total thanks to the 57,000 copies it moved during the most recent tracking week.
No other album claims a sales total within 100,000 of that mark.
