TAYLOR FINAL

In her debut week, Taylor Swift's reputation (Big Machine) edges past prior smash set 1989 to come in at 1.29m all in, for her fourth consecutive million-plus bow, a first for the modern music business.

Congrats to Taylor, Scott Borchetta and Team Big Machine, Monte Lipman and Team Republic and all the other players on this estimable achievement.

Apparently some other records also debuted this week. Check out our chart story here.

Now if you'll excuse us, we're on our way to the T-Swift pop-up store in search of reputation-branded bongs.
