Word had already broken that Taylor Swift’s “The Life Of A Showgirl” had surpassed 4 million in total US units from pure album sales and equivalent track consumption.<\/p>\n
Monday, Republic added that the album generated over 5.5 million in global first-week consumption.<\/p>\n
Although it is her best<\/em> debut sum yet, it is far from her first impressive one. Swift, in fact, has now seen 15 albums generate over 1 million in first-week global consumption.<\/p>\n Though not explicitly articulated in the new Republic press release, the “15th album” milestone can be logically concluded based on past releases.<\/p>\n Republic explicitly noted that “evermore” was her eighth album to reach the seven-figure debut mark. It subsequently confirmed million-plus debuts for all of her subsequent releases — \u201cFearless (Taylor\u2019s Version),\u201d \u201cRed (Taylor\u2019s Version),\u201d \u201cMidnights,\u201d \u201cSpeak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version),\u201d “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” and “The Tortured Poets Department,” thus making “Showgirl” the 15th to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift sees yet another album debut (well) over 1 million.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":171507,"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":[183,1047,206],"tags":[145,17319],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
