Taylor Swift Paints The Chart Town Red! Highest-Selling Album Week Since 2002!

Whip that straightened blonde hair all over the place, Swifty!
And make yourself a virgin Shirley Temple, cuz you deserve it!!
Trumping 2002’s The Eminem Show, Taylor Swift‘s Red has sold 1.208M copies in its first week!
And obviously it debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart too!
So not only does she get to bask in the sales, she’s enjoying her THIRD chart-topper as well. Get it, gurrrl!!
Enamored with the love, Swifty tweet-tweeted:

They just told me Red sold 1.2 million albums first week. How is this real life?! You are UNREAL. I love you so much. Thanks a million 😉

Clearly the feeling’s mutual, Taylor!
See! There really is a reason for broken hearts after all, LOL!!
Much congrats to your success, Swifty. You deserve it! That tour is sure to see big numbers too!
