If Midnights debuts at number one, it will mark Swift’s 11th chart-topping album.  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.

It was earlier reported (October 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), and is the top-selling album of 2022.

It is also the year’s best-selling vinyl album, surpassing the 372,000 copies Harry Styles’ Harry’s House has sold through the week ending October 20.
