Taylor Swift has done what even pop icons with decades-long careers couldn’t: sell more than 4 million copies of a single album in just one week. According to Billboard, Swift’s 12th studio LP, “The Life of a Showgirl,” moved 4.002 million units between October 3 and 9, combining traditional sales and streaming numbers.
