It’s hard not to associate “breaking records” with Taylor Swift, especially when it comes to vinyl sales. Once again, the music sensation has surpassed her own benchmarks, setting a new record for the most sales of a vinyl album in a week.

The Unprecedented Feat

Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” flew off the shelves, with an astounding 700,000 LP copies sold over a mere three days, solidifying her reign as the modern queen of vinyl.

Surpassing Previous Milestones

Breaking Her Own Record

The previous weekly record was held by Swift’s release from last October, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” which sold 693,000 copies in a seven-day period. Billboard reported on Swift’s latest achievement, surpassing her own high-water mark.

Swift’s Dominance

Before “1989,” Swift’s album “Midnights” set a weekly vinyl sales record in October 2022, with an impressive 570,000 copies sold in LP format. Swift’s dominance in the realm of vinyl sales is undeniable.

Reflecting on Past Achievements

Harry Styles’ Brief Interlude

While Swift reigns supreme in the realm of vinyl, there was a brief moment when Harry Styles held the highest registered figure for weekly vinyl sales. His album “Harry’s House” sold 372,000 vinyl copies in its first week, five months before Swift’s “Midnights” took the throne.

Taylor Swift’s continuous dominance in vinyl sales showcases her unrivaled talent and immense popularity among music enthusiasts. With each release, she shatters records and sets new standards, solidifying her legacy in the music industry.
