Taylor Swift’s popularity is not slowing down. The American singer has once again set new records on the charts.
Released last week, the re-recording of his album 1989 rose to the top of the Billboard charts with the equivalent of 1.6 million units sold, the singer’s best career start.
You have to go back to 2015 to find a better performance from another artist, underlines the Billboard website. Eight years ago, the equivalent of 3.5 million copies of the album 25 by Adele had sold out in seven days.
Released in 2014, the original version of 1989 had sold nearly 1.3 million copies in the first week.
The impressive statistics of the interpreter of Shake It Off, Blank Space And Bad Blood (three titles found on 1989) don’t stop there. Eight of his songs appear this week in the top 10 from the Billboard charts.
This new opus is the 13the by Taylor Swift to reach the first position of the best-selling albums.
Recall that after a dispute with the owner of the Red Machine record company, Scooter Braun, concerning the property rights to her first six albums, Taylor Swift undertook to re-record all of her old opuses. Taylor’s Version 1989 includes 21 songs, including five previously unreleased songs.
