Taylor Swift Dominates Album Chart With ‘Red,’ Kendrick Lamar Goes ‘m.A.A.d.’ At #2
Now that we know Taylor Swift‘s fourth LP Red sold a massive 1.208 million copies in its opening week — the biggest debut since Eminem‘s The Eminem Show sold 1.322 million in its first seven days back in 2002 — it’s a given that the album crashes into the peak position on the Billboard Top 200 this week. This leaves Kendrick Lamar‘s debut LP m.A.A.d. City entering at #2, after selling 241,000.
The rest of the Top 10 is rounded out by holdovers from Jason Aldean, Mumford & Sons, Pink and Brandy, as well as four other debuts: Tony Bennett‘s Viva Duets at #5 (36,000), Gary Clark Jr.‘s Blak & Blu at #6 (35,000), Stone Sour‘s House Of Gold & Bones: Part 1 at #7 (31,000) and Lady Antebellum‘s holiday effort On This Winter’s Night at #9 (around 25,000).
Do you think Meek Mill‘s Dreams And Nightmares has a chance of dislodging Taylor’s Red from the top spot next week? Let us know below!
