Back in July Billboard was predicting that Taylor Swift’s album “Speak Now” would sell more than one million albums during its first week out.

Will Botwin, President/CEO of Red Light Management and ATO Records even said:

“It feels like if anybody can do it now, she could be the one. She has the sales base and heat from the last few albums. And with all the amazing things she has going on, she is as likely as anybody to reach a million units, especially with the efforts of Big Machine and Universal behind her.”

Many people left a comment saying that it wasn’t possible for Swift to sell one million copies during its first week since people aren’t selling CDs these days.

Well, thanks to Hits Daily Double, the official numbers are in. How do you think her album did?

Swift sold 1,044,477 albums of her new album “Speak Now” during its first week in stores. Country group Sugarland came in second place with just under 87,000 copies. That’s a huge difference between the first and second spot.

Whether you’re a fan of Swift’s or not, you can’t deny the affect she’s having on the music industry.
