NEW YORK (AP) ? Taylor Swift's new album is called "Red," but its true color is a brilliant platinum. The 22-year-old sold 1.2 million copies of her latest album in its first week ? the largest sales week for any album in a decade.
Nielsen SoundScan confirmed the sales Tuesday night. "Red" marks Swift's second straight album to sell more than 1 million in its first week; "Speak Now," her third album, sold a little over 1 million when it was released in 2010. She's the only woman to have two albums sell more than 1 million copies each in its first week.
The only other act to do so was 'N Sync.
Swift tweeted to her fans Tuesday night: "Thanks a million."
