It feels potentially unlucky to talk about “breaking records” when the subject is actual LPs, but there’s no way around combining these terms when we’re talking Taylor Swift, the modern queen of vinyl. She has broken her own record for the most sales of a vinyl album in a week, and did it in just three days, with 700,000 LP copies sold of “The Tortured Poets Department” over the weekend.

The previous weekly record belonged to Swift’s release from last October, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” which sold 693,000 copies in a seven-day period. Billboard reported the info on Swift besting her own recent high-water mark.

Who held the record before “1989” surpassed it last year? You guessed it — also Swift. “Midnights” set a weekly vinyl sales record when it came out in October 2022, with what then seemed like an astronomical 570,000 copies in the LP format.

To find someone who was setting the record for most weekly records who was not Taylor Swift, you have to go back five months before “Midnights,” when Harry Styles had what was then the highest registered figure, as “Harry’s House” sold 372,000 vinyl copies in its first week.
