Taylor Swift’s Midnights is off to a record-breaking start in the U.S. after its first day in release.

According to initial reports to Luminate, the album, which was released on Oct. 21, has sold more than 800,000 copies in the U.S. through its first day across all available formats (multiple digital album download, CD, vinyl and cassette variants). It has already logged the largest sales week for any album since 2017, is the top-selling album of 2022 year-to-date, and has set a modern-era record for single-week vinyl album sales.

Luminate’s data powers Billboard’s weekly charts.

2022’s Top-Selling Album After One Day: Midnights’ initial sales sum already makes it the biggest-selling album of 2022 year-to-date. Previously, 2022’s top-selling album, year-to-date, was Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, with 620,000 copies sold through the week ending Oct. 13.

It’s assumed that Midnights’ sales figure will increase in the coming days, as the tracking week ends on Thursday, Oct. 27. The set’s final sales number is expected to be announced on Sunday, Oct. 30, along with its expected large debut on the multi-metric Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 4). If Midnights debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, it will mark Swift’s 11th chart-topping effort.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each units equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

News of initial streaming-and-track-equivalent activity for the album, as provided by Luminate, will reported in the coming days.

Biggest Sales Week for Any Album Since Swift’s reputation in 2017: With just one day of sales, Midnights logs the largest sales week for any album in the U.S. since Swift’s own reputation debuted with 1.216 million copies sold in its first week (ending Nov. 16, 2017).

Reputation was also the last album to sell more than 1 million copies in a single week in the U.S., a feat that has become difficult to achieve in recent years as consumers transition to consuming music through streaming services. (Yearly U.S. album sales decreased in every year from 2012-2020.)

Since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991, there have only been 23 instances – by 21 different albums – where an album sold at least 1 million copies in a single week. One of those albums, Adele’s 25, sold over 1 million in three separate weeks.

Modern-Era Vinyl Sales Record: Further, Midnights handily breaks the modern-era record for single-week vinyl album sales in the U.S., with over 400,000 copies sold so far. That’s the largest week for an album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991. It surpasses the previous high, set earlier this year, when Harry’s House debuted with 182,000 vinyl copies (week ending May 26, 2021).

Midnights’ overall initial sales figures include any pre-orders of the album that were fulfilled to the customer through Oct. 21, as well as traditional in-store sales that were generated on the day of release.

Midnights arrived after months of pre-release promotion and pre-orders – and its initial sales figure is bolstered by an array of available versions and variants of the album.

Midnights is available to purchase in a standard digital album (both clean and explicit), an iTunes-exclusive version with a bonus track (clean and explicit), four standard CD editions (each with a different cover, both clean and explicit), four vinyl LP editions (each with a different cover and colored vinyl) and a cassette tape.

Target is also selling an exclusive “Lavender” edition of the album on CD and colored-vinyl LP, with the CD boasting three bonus tracks.

In addition, in the weeks leading up to release, Swift’s webstore sold pre-orders of signed copies of the four standard CD albums and the four standard vinyl LPs. Midnights is also available in a deluxe boxed set with a CD edition of the album and a Swift-branded T-shirt, exclusively for Capital One cardholders.

Three hours after Midnights arrived, Swift issued a deluxe edition of the album with seven bonus songs (20 tracks total) to streaming services and digital retailers (with the later including a digital liner notes booklet).

[fengyu]

actually insane. wtf. 800,000 in one day??

[Mayman]

I didn't expect it to do 800k in pure sales for the week, much less than in a day. That's insane.

[Future Captain]

Holy fuck. 800k in one day, 400k vinyl.... so I guess 1 million+ pure sales and 500k+ vinyl is happening. And with the streaming numbers being what it is, she might hit 1.5 million SPS

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Crazy how Midnights has already more than doubled up Harry's House previous record for weekly vinyl sales. Of course to be to sell as much as it has the supply had to be ready.

[nickd]

Wow, that's more pure in its first day than 1989 did in its first two.

The debut week sales forecast for Taylor Swift‘s 1989 is now upped to 1.2 million units as the artist’s album has already sold nearly 727,000 copies at just three merchants, iTunes, Target and Walmart, according to industry sources.

In its first two days of availability, the Swift album has scanned 450,000 units at iTunes; 247,000 units at Target and about 30,000 at Walmart, those sources say.

[Caviar]

Slaying!!!!

[ampersand]

Insane. Who else but Taylor, honestly?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

For sake of comparison, reputation was reported to have sold around 700k first day pure sales. And that was with the album not available for streaming besides the singles released from it if I remember correctly.

 the days when digital sales were king... how the turntables..

[WolfSpear]

You just never know with Taylor...

At this point, she might be the one to break the Beatles' #1 tally. (If not, at least move ahead of Jay-Z).

[Envoirment]

It's likely the covid pandemic held back both Folklore and Evermore plus them being surprise albums. This is the first album she's had where it's likely there haven't been as much issues supplying vinyls. She's also given plenty of time for pre-orders and done a really good amount of variations for fans to buy. She might even outdo her best sales week even without SPS - insane!

[85la]

So 800k in sales the first day alone, seems like she could approach or exceed 1.5 mil in total sales for the week, and then factoring in SEA and TEA, is 2 mil total units for the week within reach?

Very unlikely — the sales weeks is extremely frontloaded because so much of it is pre-orders (which all “count” for Day 1)

Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Has Already Surpassed 1 Million Units in the U.S.
It also has the largest sales week for any album since 2017, is the top-selling album of 2022, and sets a modern-era record for single-week vinyl album sales.

UPDATE (Oct. 24): Taylor Swift’s Midnights is off to a record-breaking start in the U.S.

According to initial reports to Luminate, the album, which was released on Oct. 21, has earned more than 1.2 million equivalent album units in the U.S. through its first three days of release (through Oct. 23). Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise more than 955,000 across all available formats (multiple digital album download, CD, vinyl and cassette variants). Vinyl LP sales for the title is nearing 500,000.

Luminate’s data powers Billboard’s weekly charts.

After three days, Midnights already has the largest overall week, by equivalent album units, for any album, since Swift’s own reputation debuted with 1.238 million in its first week (chart dated Dec. 2, 2017). Midnights also has the largest sales week for any album since reputation’s opening week of 1.216 million sold. It was earlier reported (Oct. 22) that Midnights has logged the single-largest sales week for a vinyl album in the modern era (since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991).

Additionally, in its first three days, the album’s 20 songs have generated over 284 million on-demand official streams (audio and video combined) in the U.S. The album’s standard initial release had 13 songs, and a deluxe version released three hours later added seven additional songs. That 284 million sum is already the third-largest streaming week for an album in 2022, by total streams. The year’s largest streaming week was registered by the debut frame of Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti (356.55 million; chart dated May 21).

It’s assumed that Midnights’ total units, sales and streaming figures will increase in the coming days, as the tracking week ends Thursday, Oct. 27. The set’s final sales number is expected to be announced on Sunday, Oct. 30, along with its expected large debut on the multimetric Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 4).

[imbuemyblue]

The fact that she is coming for a million in *pure sales* in *2022* is completely insane.

[Taylor.]

If Midnights debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200

I know they always use this phrasing but this instance is especially funny.

[nickd]

So 150k pure on day 2+3? Probably gonna sell 100k on day 4-7. Yup, 1.5m actually seems realistic now.

[onebuffalo]

Midnights is already the top selling album of 2022 and it's late October.

I'm really speechless like wtf. Crazy. The back to back to back smashes of Lover, folklore and evermore albums really re-energized her career and public interest after slumping in public opinion during reputation. Amazing.

Just in case Taylor surprise-drops another album in the next 10 minutes AND pulls 'Midnights' off the market for the rest of the week.

[leoapp]

Who was the last musician (non Taylor/non Adele/non Soundtrack) to clear 1 million pure sales within a calender year?

I think last year's Red (Taylor's Version) definitely also help that momentum with All Too Well (10 Minutes Version) really create a lot of buzz for her.

I feel like its also her leaving Big Machine and signing to a new much more controlled label (Republic) back in 2018. Since then her general promotion has definitely gotten more better and better as the public has completely changed their opinions on her for more positive and it definitely started off with Lover being the first example of what was about to come.

Then making Folklore and Evermore has probably helped her gain a whole new set of fans, which then immediately feeding them to Fearless and Red TV’s probably further made them wanna be for sure Swifties, and possibly wanting to explore her catalogue even more. It also helps that everything she’s done since Lover has been up to quality in terms of her overall discography so taking all of this in leading up to Midnights and seeing the success its getting now, its really no surprise as to how its doing this well.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Has Already Sold 1 Million Albums in the U.S. (Updating)

After four days, Midnights has the largest overall week, by equivalent album units, for any album since Adele's 25 in 2015.

UPDATE (Oct. 25): Taylor Swift’s Midnights is off to a record-breaking start in the U.S.

According to initial reports to Luminate, the album, which was released on Oct. 21, has earned more than 1.3 million equivalent album units in the U.S. through its first four days of release (through Oct. 24). Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise more than 1 million across all available formats (multiple digital album download, CD, vinyl and cassette variants). Vinyl LP sales for the title have surpassed 500,000.

Luminate’s data powers Billboard’s weekly charts.



Biggest Week for Any Album Since Adele’s ‘25’: After four days, Midnights already has the largest overall week, by equivalent album units, for any album, since Adele’s 25 debuted with 3.482 million in its first week (chart dated Dec. 12, 2015).

More Than 1 Million Copies Sold: Midnights also has the largest sales week for any album – by traditional album sales – since Swift’s own reputation album debuted with 1.216 million copies sold (chart dated Dec. 2, 2017).

Midnights is the 22nd album to sell at least 1 million copies in a single week since Luminate began tracking music sales in 1991. In total, there have been 24 instances – by 22 different albums – where an album sold at least 1 million copies in a week. One of those albums, Adele’s 25, sold over 1 million in three separate weeks.

That 357 million sum is the largest streaming week for an album in 2022, by total streams for its collected songs. It is also the largest streaming week ever for an album by a non-R&B/hip-hop title, or for any album by a female artist.

Previously, 2022’s largest streaming week – and the biggest week for a non-R&B/hip-hop set ever – was logged by the debut frame of Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti (356.55 million; chart dated May 21). In terms of albums by female artists, Midnights surpasses the debut week of Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next (it launched with 307.07 million streams for its collected songs on the chart dated Feb. 23, 2019).
