1989 is selling like no album has in the past 10 years. It has sold more than 200,000 copies in each of its first nine weeks on sale -- a feat not managed since the spring of 2004. Usher's Confessions was the last album to sell as consistent, moving more than 200,000 in each of its first nine frames (ending with the sales week of May 23, 2004).
