November 5th, 2012 3:07pm EST
Taylor Swift's fourth album has made music history. In the first week of its release, her album Red has sold 1.2 million copies - the most for the first week of an album's release since 2002.
Swift is also the first woman to have two albums the broke the 1 million mark in their first weeks; her third album Speak Now also performed the feat, according to the Associated Press.
To better understand the enormity of her sales numbers: She quadrupled the sales of Justin Bieber's over-hyped "Believe" album in its first week.
Eminem's 2002 release "The Eminem Show" was the last album to sell as many in the first week.
