As Taylor Swift nears to 100 million US career record sales (she can top it as early as next week), here's the recap of Taylor's chart and sales milestones in the US brought by 1989 and its hit singles: 

 

- Lead single "Shake It Off" (SIO) is the 22nd song to debut at #1 on the Billboard HOT 100 chart, with the 4th biggest first-week digital sales in history

- SIO made the biggest debut (#12) on Mainstream Top 40 radio in history, tying herself with Mariah Carey

- SIO also made the biggest debut (#9) on Adult Pop Songs radio; also made the fastest climb to #1 (6th week), a tie with Celine Dion

- 1989 became the 19th album to sell at least a million in a single week; the biggest sales week since Eminem (2002)

- 1989 made Taylor Swift (TS) the first in history to debut (or move) an album with at least one million copies in a single week, three consecutive times, all during this decade

- 1989 made TS the 2nd female artist to score at least 3 #1 albums in the 2010s (after Lady Gaga), the first female artist as a solo, and the 8th overall

- 1989 hit the 2 million mark in album sales by its 3rd week, the fastest since 50 Cent (2005)

- 1989 made TS the first artist with back-to-back albums (2012's Red - 2014's 1989) that each spent their first three weeks at #1 since Eminem (2000's MM LP - 2002's The Eminem Show)

- 2nd single "Blank Space" (BS) replaces SIO at the #1 spot of the HOT 100, making TS the first female artist in history to succeed herself at the top spot and the 10th overall

- BS makes TS the first and only act in history to replace herself at the top of the HOT 100 chart (1958-present) entirely as a solo artist without any collaboration; the second overall on Billboard's main singles charts since Elvis Presley (1956)

- BS pushes TS among the acts with the 3rd-most #1s in this decade so far, tying herself with Adele, Eminem, and Kesha

- BS makes "1989" as the 7th album in the 2010s to send its first two released singles to #1 on the HOT 100, and the 7th album by a female artist since the 2000s to do so, following Christina Aguilera (1999-2000), Beyonce (2003), Lady Gaga (2009), Katy Perry (2010), Rihanna (2010), Adele (2011), and the 18th artist overall

- BS makes "1989" the first album in 2014 to score multiple #1 singles on the HOT 100; it's also Swift's first album to collect multiple #1 singles

- 1989 has established Taylor Swift as the undisputed top-selling solo act of the Digital Era with at least 99.5M record sales (24.6M albums, 74.9M digital tracks) since her debut in 2006

Tickets are on sale now for tour. I'm looking at the them and they're so expensive! Like what the hell. I was going to buy them for a gift but I don't know if I can now. Can anyone explain to me why floor tickets are up to 1000 dollars? :toofunny:

I've heard this and I loved it! Not a fan of Sam, but Kurt's mash-ups / medleys are generally great, and that's why I checked it out. I'd have probably loved it more though have they chosen a different vocalist/s, like Max and Victoria Justice (they did separate medleys for Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 songs, both also under Kurt). 

 

Anyway, speaking of YouTube, notice how Style, despite being just a track for now, has been garnering huge attention amongst YouTubers - a clear indication that it'll be MASSIVE once sent to radio. 4th #1 for Taylor Swift could come really soon. And it might be her biggest yet. That is what's more exciting. Finally, we've a pop album again with a string of hits, huge hits. The early Thriller comparisons may not be absurd after all.
