For the tenth consecutive time, a Taylor Swift album has moved over 1 million global units in its first week.<\/p>\n
Republic Records reports that “Red (Taylor’s Version),” the new version of her 2012 critically acclaimed “Red,” debuted with over 1.2 million equivalent album units during the November 12-18 tracking period. In addition to album sales, the figure accounts for units from track sales and streams.<\/p>\n
The album enjoyed a particularly strong start in the United States, amassing 369K in first-week sales and 605K in total first-week consumption.<\/p>\n
“Red (Taylor’s Version)” follows “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” as the second phase of Swift’s effort to re-record her first six albums (and, in the process, secure ownership of the associated masters).<\/p>\n
The album includes “Taylor’s Version” of fan favorite ballad “All Too Well,” as well as an eagerly anticipated 10-minute version of the acclaimed song. The song generated enough opening week activity to earn to #1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Red” crossed the million global unit mark in its first week, becoming Swift’s tenth consecutive album to score a seven-figure opening.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":153660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[14914,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
