Taylor Swift had a pretty good week, dethrones Adele's 7-day sales record
Although still lagging slightly behind Adele's 25 in terms of pure sales, Life Of A Showgirl's streaming numbers pushed it over the top.

Taylor Swift mostly just competes with herself these days, with each subsequent release, like last week’s The Life Of A Showgirl, setting new benchmarks that will then position her next album as the only extant piece of human art capable of beating it on a strict numerical basis. The rare exception to this total cultural saturation was the record for most albums sold in a single week, which Adele was still holding on to with the massively successful 25. But now, not so much, as THR reports that Showgirl has just given a hearty “Hello” before kicking the 2015 album from its place at the top of the charts.
