UPDATE: SWIFTLY MAKING HISTORY

Taylor's 1989: How Big?

Could 1989 surpass the first-week numbers of the colossal Red?

You already know Taylor Swift will become the only artist to sell more than 1 million albums in a single week on three separate occasions—not to mention on three consecutive releases. Well, she's showing no signs of slowing down.

1989 is currently looking to open in the 1.1-1.2m range. 2012’s Red opened with 1.2m, while 2010’s Speak Now opened with 1.05m.

Tay's new one is clearly a monster, and will have a first week that's orders of magnitude larger than anything else released this year. But can it bow bigger than Red? Stay tuned.

Read much more about TS and her new monster here.
