Taylor Swift just released a record, so naturally, Taylor Swift just broke some records. In its first day, The Life Of A Showgirl sold 1.2 million vinyl copies, breaking the record for first-week sales in the format in the modern era, Billboard reports. (The stats date back to 1991, when Luminate, the company formerly known as MRC Data and Nielsen SoundScan, began tracking music sales digitally.) The previous record holder was, unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift, who set the previous mark by moving 859,000 first-week copies of The Tortured Poets Department last year.
