As with each (Taylor's Version) to date, the new version of 1989 has eclipsed the sales of the original
Taylor Swift has now officially beaten pretty much the only person on the planet giving her a real fight for pop music dominance at the moment: Herself. This is per Deadline, reporting on the first serious sales numbers for Swift’s latest release, the edition of her 2014 album 1989, the one that took her from “incredibly successful country music with a lot of crossover appeal” to “pretty much the queen of modern pop music.
6 million units in the United States alone, and 3.5 million across the planet. Compare that to the 1.287 million albums sold in the U.S. back in 2014, which was already a seismic number, and it’s easy to see why Swift thought this whole project might work out.
