Taylor Swift Acknowledges Record Breaking Sales of “Tortured Poets” Album: “Are You Even Serious?”

Share

Even Taylor Swift is a little gobsmacked by the sales of her album.

As I reported on Friday, “The Tortured Poets Department” has sold 2.6 million copies. Of those, 1.9 million are hard sales of CDs, LPs, and downloads. The rest is from streaming.

“Poets” is the third highest debuting album of any week since 1990. Only Adele and NSync were higher.
