Taylor Swift’s Lover nets the year’s biggest album sales week in the U.S. after a single day
The album has already sold 450,000 copies.
Taylor Swift's latest album Lover has already sold approximately 450,000 copies, logging the biggest sales week of 2019, according to Billboard. In addition to setting the record for the year so far, it's also the biggest sales week since Swift's own album Reputation, which sold 1.216 million copies back in 2016. The impressive numbers were reportedly bolstered by strong pre-order sales.
It's also predicted the album could end off the week with over 550,000 copies in U.S. sales. It will likely land on the top spot of the Billboard 200 Album chart, making it Swift's sixth album to make the list.
