The power of the Swifties: Taylor’s ‘Midnights’ breaks streaming and vinyl sales records
LA TimesIt’s a good week to be a Swiftie. On Spotify, “Midnights” tallied 88 million streams in the U.S. and 185 million worldwide in one day, besting Bad Bunny’s record of 183 million global streams for his album “Un Verano Sin Ti.” Swift also broke first-day records at Apple Music and Amazon Music. By comparison, Harry Styles’ “Harry’s House,” released in May, sold 521,500 equivalent album units in its first week; week-one sales for Beyonce’s “Renaissance” were 332,000, and “Un Verano Sin Ti” racked up 274,000 album-equivalent units sold. With “Midnights,” Swift claims the biggest sales week for any artist since the 2017 release of her sixth studio album, “Reputation,” which sold 1.216 million copies in its first week. “Midnights” also broke existing vinyl sales records, having sold nearly 500,000 copies in one day.
