Swift has broken her record for most first week sales... in one day. Her last album, 2024's The Tortured Poets Department, amassed 2.61 million equivalent album units in the US in its first week. The Life Of A Showgirl has also become the second-largest sales week for any album in the modern era, since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991. That was also accomplished in just one day. Currently, Adele's 25, which sold 3.378 million copies in its first week in 2015 in the US, holds the top spot. Also, according to Luminate, The Life Of A Showgirl has already broken the record for the most copies of a vinyl album sold in a single week in the US, with 1.2 million copies.

There is also an exclusive vinyl release, The Crowd Is Your King edition in “summertime spritz pink shimmer vinyl”.as well: The Tiny Bubble in Champagne Collection, The Baby That’s Show Business Collection, The Shiny Bug Collection, and the standard LP and cassette, in “sweat and vanilla perfume Portofino orange vinyl”.And most recently, on Saturday, Swift announced four new CD variants featuring acoustic renditions of the album's tracks.
