After just 19 weeks of release, Taylor Swift's 1989 has now outsold both of her last two albums.
1989 sold another 44,000 copies in the week ending March 8, according to Nielsen Music, lifting the title's total sales to 4.505 million. 1989 already surpassed the sales of Swift's last album, 2012's Red (4.160 million after 124 weeks), a few weeks ago, while 1989 now jumps past her earlier album, 2010's Speak Now (4.480 million after 228 weeks) in the latest tracking week.
Next up on Swift's personal hit list: her self-titled 2006 debut (5.492 million) and her biggest seller, 2008's Fearless (6.909 million).
For those keeping score, Swift's cumulative album sales (including her five her studio efforts, and other assorted live sets, EPs, etc.) now stand at 27.67 million. In terms of album sales, she is the seventh-largest selling female artist since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991.
Fearless will be impossible on the US but it will WW
1989 still has chance to surpass Fearless. It just 2.4M copies behind tho. If HDD predictions are true (they predicted 1989 to sell another 3M this year), it will be around 6.6M by end of the year.

I don't see it selling 3M this year, 2M max (which is still more than great)
