Taylor Swift continues to dominate the music industry in 2023 with her re-recorded albums, solidifying her status as a powerhouse in yet another fashion. According to Billboard, the superstar has achieved a remarkable feat by claiming the top three bestselling albums of the year in the United States.
As of November 2, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Swift’s newest release, had already sold an astounding 1.1 million copies in the U.S. That remarkable sum was achieved in just the first six days of the title’s availability. The complete first-week sales figures are yet to be published by Billboard, but the early numbers already showcase her incredible success.
This new release has eclipsed Swift’s own album Midnights, which previously held the title of the bestselling album of 2023. Midnights, released late in 2022, had sold 778,000 copies up until the day before 1989 (Taylor’s Version) dropped.
