Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), is set to release in 2023, with high expectations for a massive debut sum, raising questions about her ability to manage one million units.
Taylor Swift’s fourth album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), aims to give her control over her first six full-lengths, which all opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. With larger debut sales weeks, it’s expected to be the biggest yet.
Swift’s latest album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 with 716,000 units, despite being significantly different from the original.
Swift’s 2010 album Speak Now, initially released in 2010, achieved No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 1,047,000 copies sold, and its re-recorded version achieved similar success.
Taylor Swift’s 1989, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2014, is set to become her biggest re-recording yet, opening with around 875,000 units, based on past performance.
Swift’s 1989 album, which produced three Hot 100 No. 1 hits, became her largest debut on the Billboard 200, and her 2022 title, Midnights, reached No. 1, generating high anticipation for its re-recording.
Swift’s 1989 re-recorded album may debut with one million equivalent units shifted, based on promotion and sales on special edition vinyl copies, although this is not guaranteed and may be a stretch.
1989 (Taylor’s Version) is expected to reach No. 1 with at least 3/4 million units, but its success will be determined by November’s first week numbers.
Taylor Swift is preparing for the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which is set to be released on October 27th.

Taylor Swift’s 1989 was her most successful production, promoting the pop full-length for several years. As she prepares to release a re-recorded version, the world must prepare for massive singles from the album.
“State of Grace” from Red, “Speak Now”, “Mine”, and “Back to December” reached No. 18, while the first versions reached the top 10.
Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) songs, including “Blank Space,” have re-emerged in the Hot 100, indicating potential commercial success. However, the success of these songs remains uncertain.
Swift’s album, featuring hits like “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” and “Style,” could potentially enter the top 40 or top 20, depending on how she drops them and the competition at the time.
Swift may promote individual tunes as singles before 1989’s release and even after the album’s full release. She may present them as a solid collection, but the songs that were hits will likely become big wins again, determining their Hot 100 climb and potential to eclipse previous versions.
