Congratulations to Taylor (again)  

I wonder if it'll be the only album to reach 1m this year, because if Drake's slows down enough then it won't be hitting that mark by the end of 2015  This also makes me pretty intrigued to see if there'll be a release in 2015 that pushes Taylor to #2  

[Jed 7,716]

​can you imagine that? The only album to go to a million 2 years in a row?! Taylor has definitely made her imprint in not just music but cultural history.

[venusian 4,686]

go kendrick and drake get that 1mil 

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

Wow, Taylor is still doing extremely well. I don't know who else she can possibly sell to, it seems everyone has that album. Are people buying in bulk?

Congrats to everyone else as well, including Lamar.

[Fame Romance 10,517]

I'm still surprised there is anyone left for Taylor to sell too. I keep thinking, "are people buying multiple copies, breaking them, and then buying three more?". Damn. Admire that hustle.
