According to numbers released by Nielsen Music (via Billboard), Taylor Swift’s 'Reputation' sold 5,000 copies for the week ending March 15, thus pushing it over the 2 million mark in sales.
That makes 'Reputation' the first album since Adele’s '25', released in 2015, to break that mark.
'Reputation' is now Swift’s sixth album to hit 2 million in sales, following '1989', 'Red', 'Speak Now', 'Fearless', and her self-titled debut album. It took 18 weeks for 'Reputation' to cross 2 million in sales; by contrast, Adele’s '25' reached the number in three days while Swift’s prior album, '1989', sold 2 million in three weeks.
'Reputation' was one of only two albums to sell more than 1 million copies in 2017, along with Swift pal Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide).
Swift will launch her Reputation tour on May 8th in Arizona.
