With units from track sales and streams included, the album generated 712K in total first-week US consumption.<\/p>\n<p>In a testament to the album&#8217;s dominant showing, only one other album (Morgan Wallen&#8217;s &#8220;One Thing At A Time&#8221; with 102K) even generated a tenth of the Swift album&#8217;s unit total this week.<\/p>\n<p>The dominance was even more clear in terms of pure sales, where &#8220;Speak Now (Taylor&#8217;s Version)&#8221; outperformed the week&#8217;s next-best-seller by 17.5x (Stray Kids&#8217; &#8220;5-Star&#8221; with 28K).<\/p>\n<p>A re-recording of her 2010 album, the new release follows &#8220;Fearless (Taylor&#8217;s Version)&#8221; and &#8220;Red (Taylor&#8217;s Version)&#8221; as the &#8220;Taylor&#8217;s Version&#8221; to enter the market. All debuted atop the US album chart.<\/p>\n<p>Billboard&#8217;s specific numbers may differ slightly, but the outcome will be the same: a #1 bow on Top Album Sales and the Billboard 200 for &#8220;Speak Now (Taylor&#8217;s Version).&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Speak Now&#8221;
