I felt like this achievement deserved it's own thread tbh.

Swift is just the third artist to top the 4M mark with his or her first four studio albums since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking music sales in 1991. She follows Garth Brooks (who did it with his first five non-holiday studio albums) and Eminem.
Swift's achievement is all the more remarkable because the album sales market has been shaky throughout her career. By contrast, it was strong when Brooks released his first album in 1989, and it was at its peak when Eminem released his first album in 1999.
