Taylor Swift 'Midnights' Billboard #1 Debut Could Be Her Biggest In Discography So Far

Taylor Swift's rollout of her newest album, "Midnights," was a blast! Almost everyone was at a standstill, soaking in every song, word per word.

While everyone fell into a rabbit hole in the past few days, it would seem like many were focusing only on the easter eggs that Swift has dropped throughout her music - only to be shocked by the massive sales and sheer records that Swift has already beaten, including Taylor herself.

In a quote tweet about her very first achievements, Taylor was shocked to be finding out about the record she had just made. According to Spotify, Taylor Swift's "Midnights" broke the record for the most-streamed album in a single day in Spotify history.

"How did I get this lucky, having you guys out here doing something this mind blowing?! Like what even just happened??!?!" she tweeted after.

But that was just one of the many feats that Taylor has brought upon herself, not more than five days since she released "Midnights."

Similarly, Taylor also broke the same history-setting record on Apple Music - the biggest pop album debut of all time on Apple Music by first-day streams.

According to Billboard, Taylor is set for another record-setting debut in the United States. Just for its opening day, Luminate already reported more than 800,000 album units already, just for pure album sales alone!

It already sets itself as the largest sales week for any album since 2017, the modern-era record for single-week vinyl album sales, and the top-selling album of 2022 to date. It smashed Harry Styles' "Harry's House," debuting only at 521,500 album-equivalent units after a whole week of tracking.

"Midnights" is projected to debut at 1,200,000 album equivalent units after a whole week of tracking ending on Oct. 27, 2022. Just for the initial data alone, Taylor is poised to dethrone her own album "reputation," released in 2017, which debuted at 1.216 million units.

Her vinyl sales also went through the roof as it was reported that 400,000 of the reported 800,000 all come from Vinyl sales. This squashes Harry Styles' record of 182,000 vinyl sales for "Harry's House."

With the tracking week ending on Oct. 27, Thursday - the final numbers for the total sales are expected to hit on Sunday, Oct. 30.
