Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, has already secured the UK's biggest opening week of 2025, after selling 304,000 copies since Friday.
The total eclipses the first-week sales of her last two studio albums: 2024's The Tortured Poets Departent (270,000 copies) and 2022's Midnights (204,000).
With just three days counted, she has achieved the UK's biggest first-week sales since Ed Sheeran's Divide sold 672,000 copies in 2017.
The star is also on track to have the biggest-selling album of the year overall. The current title holder is Sabrina Carpenter, who appears on Life of a Showgirl's title track. Her Short N' Sweet album has shifted 444,000 copies since January.
Swift has also broken records in the US, where she notched up 2.7 million sales on Friday alone.
