It is a record for Gaga. That's why I said 'Gaga's record', and not 'the record of most albums sold by a female artist in the first week'.
Plus she's the most comparable. I could talk about Baby, One More Time, which sold 1.3M+ FW, but that was in 2000.
Taylor Swift is missing something: hype. I remember when the Fearless era ended, she was huge everywhere. People were anxiously awaiting her next move. And when she won 4 Grammys in that era, people worship you like you're God (she was huge in 2010 partly because of that).
It's like Adele now, she won 6 Grammys and had one of the best eras of all time. People will obviously be awaiting '23' (should that be album title).
Taylor won 2 Grammys this year, but it wasn't for anything major. She will obviously sell way over 500k, yes, but it won't break 1M.
