Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” has shattered records by selling over 4 million units in its first week. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, surpassing Adele’s 2015 record of 3.482 million units.
Swift expressed her gratitude to fans on Instagram, thanking them for their support and praising the album’s success. With this achievement, Swift has broken ties with Drake and Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums among solo artists and now holds the second-most No. 1s since Billboard started tracking weekly charts in 1956.
The entire top 12 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart are dominated by tracks from “The Life of a Showgirl,” with lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” claiming the top spot. The album features collaborations with Sabrina Carpenter and Max Martin, who worked on Swift’s previous albums such as “Red” and “Reputation.”
To celebrate the album’s success, Swift is releasing two supplementary projects: a six-episode docuseries and a concert film featuring her final Eras Tour show. Both will premiere on Disney+ in December.
