Taylor Swift's 1989

Taylor Swift released a new album today called 1989. I'm sure most of you already knew that since it was nearly impossible to escape it on social media (not that I wanted to...). #Buy1989oniTunes, #TS1989, and several individual song titles from the album quickly became worldwide trending topics on Twitter after the album's release. Swift's 1989 is expected to sell over 900,000 copies in its first week, and could potentially break 1 million. That's pretty insane. To put this into perspective, only one album has sold over a million copies total this year, and that was the Frozen soundtrack. So, Taylor Swift could potentially have the second largest selling album in 2014, after just one week of it being released. Considering her last two albums Speak Now and Red both sold over a million copies in their first week, I have a feeling 1989 will do the same. If it does, Taylor will be the first act to have three million-selling weeks. Very impressive if you ask me. T-Swift's still got it.
