Global music superstar Taylor Swift has released her latest album, ‘Showgirl,’ to incredible success. From the moment it was released, fans rushed to buy and stream the new music.
The album sold four million copies worldwide in its first week. This amazing number breaks a sales record that was held by the British singer Adele for over a decade.
Achieving such high sales is a huge milestone in Taylor's already successful career. Because so many people stream music for free now, selling millions of albums is very difficult, which makes her success even more impressive.
The final sales tally included a surprising detail: 1.3 million of the sales were vinyl LPs. This shows that many of her fans still want to own a physical copy of her music, proving that vinyl is not just a thing of the past.
