And people are going to drag these numbers, which is sad.

Don't see why. It's impressive as hell.

Mess at Taylor's label not buying the extra copies needed.

Other recording artists may have done something like that, but I don't think
Taylor Swift or her record label are desperate like that, which is commendable.

Good for her. I didn't think she'd break the record, but this is still amazing regardless.

Let's not forget that BOMT alone outsells all of 'The Lords' albums combined, Taylor has reached her peak now and will fail to even come close to Britney's untouchable record of nearly 15 years next time around.

People thought Taylor peaked at Fearless with winning AOTY and having massive 600K sales.

People thought Taylor peaked with Speak Now as it was a 1M+ debut in a dying industry.

People thought Taylor peaked with Red after the singles floppage of SN and her new pop direction.

People thought Taylor peaked with 1989 like you.

Taylor will prove all wrong again. She's already lasted a decade and will EASILY last another five years and destroy Britney's legacy as the 2nd-biggest American female artist of all time. After that Taylor will come for Madonna. No wigs will be left unscalped.

With 1989, Taylor has outsold ...Baby One More Time, or she will at least do it by the end of 1989's run.

It isn't even comparable, though, considering how much the industry has declined since illegal downloads and streaming have arisen.

To sell 1.278 milliion in 2014 is like selling 2.7 million in 2000 if you ask me.

Records are records though.

Wow, so impressive. Taylor would've outsold Britney by a huge margin had they both released in the same sales climate.

I guess Britney stans can cling to the one receipt they still have!!

[Sensation]

Thought she would be closer to the record after the label owner's tweet.

The new record that she just set will be overshadowed by the Britney record again.

they were really close to snatching britney's record and all of atrl was perched to see what would happen

it became pretty clear like, two days in that she'd be doing a million that wasn't what they were rooting for all of last week and you know it

and Toxicity was one of the biggest ones hoping taylor broke it so they could drag britney

I understand that it isnt comparable but thinking that 1989 will sell 30 million copies like BOMT is a bit ridiculous.

Britney's record will be broken by Adele at least.

But what is Britney NOW? She can barely do over 100,000 k nowadays, can't sing and what she was know for which is dancing she can barely do
Stop holding on to records older than you are because she drastically decline while each era taylor has increased

[♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚]

The fact that she's pulling these kinda numbers when everyone else is underperforming is just damn impressive

[Ryan]

Y'all bitches arguing about **** that is irrelevant to Taylor's record setting feat. Hope you all get warned for OT trolling.
