Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department album sold over 700,000 physical albums in just five days, setting a new record for Swift herself. Moreover, the album became the first to exceed one billion Spotify streams within a single week.
Swift's vinyl album sales also made history, with Tortured Poets Department becoming the highest-selling vinyl album in a week by selling the most vinyl records ever, achieving this feat in just three days.
In 2023, Swift dominated the top 10 sales chart with five albums, led by 1989 (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and Midnights, each selling over 500,000 physical copies.
Two main factors contributing to Swift's album sales success are the lack of thorough tracking of LP sales before the early 1990s and the release of multiple editions, encouraging dedicated fans to collect all versions, all contributing to the overall sales.
