"With The Life of a Showgirl, Swift is on track to top the album charts, singles charts, and even the box office thanks to her Official Release Party of a Showgirl screenings, becoming one of the few artists in history to do so. And while Swift won't have her final first-week sales numbers until next week, she's already made history in multiple ways with just one day of sales and streams."
"Swift sold an astounding 2.7 million copies of The Life of a Showgirl on its release date of Oct. 3, not including any streaming data, according to Billboard. Not only did she easily clinch the best sales day in modern history, but she also achieved the second-highest domestic album sales week in just one day, bested only by Adele's 25, which sold 3.4 million copies in its first week back in 2015."
"Just 11 hours after Swift dropped the album, The Life of a Showgirl became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day this year. This record should've been predicted, given that Showgirl is also the platform's most pre-saved album of all time, logging 6 million pre-saves before Oct. 3. Swift broke the same records at Apple Music and Amazon Music, proving her grip on the music industry."
Taylor Swift released her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Oct. 3 and achieved unprecedented commercial results on release day. The album sold 2.7 million copies on its first day, excluding streaming, marking the best sales day in modern history and delivering the second-highest domestic album sales week in a single day behind Adele's 25. Within 11 hours the album became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day this year and registered 6 million pre-saves, the most in platform history. Swift duplicated those streaming records on Apple Music and Amazon Music. The lead single, "The Fate of Ophelia," also set a major streaming record, and the album's release included Official Release Party of a Showgirl screenings that boosted box office performance.
