1989 sold 1.287 million copies in the week ending Nov. 2, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Here are some of the achievements Swift has earned with the debut of 1989:
- The largest sales week for an album since June 2, 2002, when Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1.322 million in its second chart week at No. 1. The album debuted atop the chart a week earlier, selling 285,000 copies after it was released on a Friday, giving the album only three days of sales in its chart bow.
- Swift is the only act to earn three million-selling weeks with an album. She also racked up million-selling weeks with the debuts of Red (1.208 million) and Speak Now (1.047 million). She was already the only woman to have two million-selling frames. (Her first two albums, 2008's Fearless and her 2006 self-titled debut, bowed with 592,000 and 39,000, respectively.)
