The country-gone-pop star is heading for a million sales of 1989 in its first week on release.

Taylor Swift’s new album – you’ve seen it around, right? – is now virtually guaranteed to sell at least one million copies in its debut week of release, a feat which would make it the singer’s third million-selling first week album sales in a row, following 2010’s Speak Now (1.05 million) and 2012’s Red (1.21 million).

It would also make 1989 just the 19th album to sell a million in its debut week since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. Sales will be announced next Wednesday, November 5, when she’s also expected to nail her fourth number one album. Stay tuned for FACT’s review of 1989, Swift’s poppiest effort yet.

In a year when not a single artist album has gone platinum so far, it’s a boost for the record industry at the very least. The two top-sellers of 2014 are the Frozen soundtrack (3.2 million) and Beyonce’s self-titled album (787,000), both of which actually came out in 2013.
