Taylor Swift’s ‘Sad Poet Division’ has broken the record for biggest weekly sales of a vinyl album, achieving the feat in just three days.
Over the weekend, Swift’s album sold 700,000 LP copies, surpassing her previous record in 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which sold 693,000 copies in a week last October.
Billboard reported the success, citing Swift’s success in the vinyl market.
In early October 2022, Swift’s album Midnight set a weekly vinyl sales record with 570,000 copies sold on LP.
Although there were albums that sold more than 700,000 vinyl units per week in the previous decade, such data was not collected at that time.
However, Swift’s incredible record in LP sales is unparalleled in recent history.
