In addition to its impressive overall sales, *The Life of a Showgirl* has broken the record for the most vinyl album sales in a single week, moving 1.2 million copies. The previous record was also held by Swift, with her 2024 release *The Tortured Poets Department*, which sold 859,000 vinyl copies in its first week.
**Concert Film Dominates Box Office**
Taylor Swift’s success extends beyond music sales. Her concert film, *The Official Release Party of a Showgirl*, topped the box office over its opening weekend. According to Sunday estimates from Comscore, the film earned $33 million in North America and added an additional $13 million internationally through AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. The film was featured in all 540 AMC theaters across the US for over three days.
**Historic Career Achievement**
Recently, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced that Taylor Swift has become the first and only female artist to surpass 100 million album sales. To date, she has sold 105 million albums, securing her position as the sixth highest-selling artist of all time.
