SHE/WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! 1989 officially sold 1.287 million copies in its opening week! Why is this important/awesome you ask? Well here are your answers:
- Taylor is the ONLY musical act ever to have 3 consecutive albums have million dollar opening weeks. Speak Now, RED, and 1989 have all gone platinum in their opening weeks for 2010, 2012, and 2014.
- 1989 is the first album to sell this many copies in its opening week since 2002. That was 12 years ago ladies and gents!
- It is the first album of 2014 to go platinum (which is funny because it was released so late in the year [this is funny for us; but not for people in other fandoms who will still ignorantly insist that Taylor is a flop.Ignore them.])
- It has been on sale for 1 week and it is the 2nd best selling album of the year. (The Frozen soundtrack is ahead of it, but to be fair it has been out A LOT longer)
- According to Billboard: "1989 is just the 19th album to sell a million copies in a week since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. Of the last four million-selling weeks, which have all occurred since 2010, three of them are owned by Swift."
I am so proud of Taylor and I am also incredibly proud to call myself a Swiftie. Personally, I own 6 copies of 1989 (don't tell my husband lol). Taylor is so good to us and honestly, we are so good to her- she knows this and the crazy thing is that she actually appreciates it. She is genuinely grateful for everything we do for her and as a fan, there is no better feeling. We chose a great idol who is ridiculously talented. So let the media and other [jealous] fandoms/stars throw their stones because a very wise woman once said, "people throw rocks at things that shine." ;)
Congrats Taylor. We're so proud and we love you!
Congrats Swifties. We're proud to be apart of such a BA/incredible/loving fanbase.
