Taylor Swift breaks 73 records in a week

With her new album 'Midnights', Taylor Swift broke 73 records in sales, streams, plays - many formats and categories. So, 'Midnights' moved 1.578 million units, behind only Adele’s '25' for the biggest debut by a female artist in Billboard history. She also became the only artist to have five albums debut with over 1 million units sold in their first week in US Nielsen history. 'Midnights' sold 575,000 copies on vinyl — the largest week for an album on vinyl since tracking began in 1991. Taylor becomes the first artist to claim all top ten entries on the Hot 100 in a single week. 'Midnights' is Swift’s 11th No. 1 album overall, tying Barbra Streisand for most No. 1 albums made by women. Above the two ladies are The Beatles (19), and Jay-Z (14), with Drake and Bruce Springsteen also having 11 No. 1 albums. Insider lists all the records.
