Taylor Swift Makes Album Sales History
Taylor Swift made history on Tuesday (September 30) by becoming the first and only female artist to surpass 100 million album sales certified by the RIAA, with over 105 million albums sold to date.
The only other artists to achieve this feat are The Beatles (183 million units), Garth Brooks (162 million), Elvis Presley (146.5 million), and the Eagles (120 million). Swift’s best-selling records to date include 1989 (14 million) and Fearless (11 million), with 2012’s Red, her 2006 self-titled debut, and 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department all moving 8 million units. Swift is set to add to her record breaking sales total when she releases her highly-anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, on Friday (October 3).
You’ll see her makes multiple late-night show appearances to promote the project.
