**Taylor Swift’s ‘Showgirl’ Achieves 2nd-Largest Sales Week in History**
*By Apoorva Rastogi | October 7, 2025*
Taylor Swift has done it again. Her latest album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, has reportedly sold an astounding 2.7 million copies on its first day in the United States alone. This marks Swift’s biggest single-day sales week ever and the second-highest sales week for any album since Luminate began tracking in 1991.
The only album with a larger sales week is Adele’s *25*, which sold 3.378 million copies in its first week back in 2015.
**Vinyl Sales Record Broken**
In addition to dominating digital and physical sales, *The Life of a Showgirl* has also shattered the record for the most vinyl album sales in a single week. The album sold 1.2 million vinyl copies, surpassing the previous record held by Swift’s own 2024 release, *The Tortured Poets Department*, which sold 859,000 vinyl copies in its first week.
**Box Office Success**
Swift’s success extends beyond music sales. Her concert film, *The Official Release Party of a Showgirl*, topped the box office during its opening weekend. The film earned an impressive $33 million in North America, according to Sunday estimates from Comscore.
Internationally, it added another $13 million through AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., playing in all 540 AMC theaters across the U.S. for over three days.
**A Historic Milestone**
In further recognition of her remarkable career, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced last week that Taylor Swift is the first and only female artist to surpass 100 million album sales.
To date, she has sold 105 million albums, placing her sixth among the highest-selling artists in history. She follows legendary acts such as The Beatles, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, Eagles, and Led Zeppelin.
With *The Life of a Showgirl*, Swift continues to solidify her place as one of the most influential and successful artists of her generation.
