It must be exhausting breaking this many records.
On Monday, Swift became the first artist in history to occupy the the top 10 spots of the Billboard Hot 100 at once, entirely comprised of tracks from her 10th album, “Midnights.” The album’s gauzy single, “Anti-Hero,” leads at No. 1; “Lavender Haze,” “Maroon,” “Snow on the Beach” featuring Lana Del Ray and “Midnight Rain” round out the top 5.
“Midnights” sold 1.578 million equivalent album units in its first week, more than enough to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It’s the biggest sales week for any album since Adele’s “25" sold 3.482 million units upon its release in 2015, and the largest tally since Swift’s own “Reputation” sold 1.216 million copies in its first sales week in 2017.
