More then enough .

She's sooooo coming for Britney's wig, can't wait for the meltdowns.

[Retro]

Predictions are only 69k from the record.

[Chivas]

Even if she doesn't top Britney's numbers, her sales are far and away more impressive. If this was the early 2000s, we'd easily be looking at a 2M+ debut.

HUGE! 2 1 million+ debuts in a row. Queen.

And she still hasn't peaked

This week, Big Machine's big Red monster will likely sell more than the rest of the Top 50 albums combined.

Pshh She will easily beat Britney.
I'm not even mad though.
She did it honorably, no tactics.

And she's doing it in 2012 when album sales have dropped so much from 12 years ago. Impressive

I shrieked, I thought the title said 1.5 million. This is too much suspense.

[Loghen]

To debut with those #s is amazing, and in this day and age

[Firework]

I would love to know how much 'Red' has sold up to now

No, they're not. She's over 100k away from the record.

Hopefully the weekend + non-traditional retailers can bring a few more sales than expected.

NEXT WEEK'S TOP 15: A big part of our job, these days, is coming up with new ways to think about how many records Taylor Swift is selling. So grok this: This week, Big Machine's big Red monster will likely sell more than the rest of the Top 50 albums combined. It may, in fact, have the biggest opening since 2005, when 50 Cent's The Massacre lived up to its name with a 1.14 bow. It's also due for the second-largest first week ever for a female artist, trailing only Britney Spears' massive "Oops ... I Did It Again," which opened with 1.319m way back in 2000. Here's how the field looks with the weekend looming:

* Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 1.15-1.25m
* Kendrick Lamar (Aftermath/Interscope) 235-245k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 135-145k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 55-60k
* Tony Bennett (Columbia) 30-35k
P!nk (RCA) 25-30k
Brandy (RCA) 21-24k
* Stone Sour (Roadrunner) 21-24k
* Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 19-22k
Little Big Town (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 19-22k
Scotty McCreery (Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope) 19-22k
Adele (XL/Columbia) 19-22k
* Gary Clark, Jr. (Warner Bros.) 18k-21k
Miguel (RCA) 18-21k
* Swedish House Mafia (Astralwerks) 17-20k

* Debuts

We’ll be back with more ways to understand how huge Red is as soon as possible. (10/25p)

So close to Britney. I guess we will see if they adjust tomorrow.
