It’s a love story, America, just say yes. If Taylor Swift’s new album Red continues to sell at the rate it’s going, she will become the first artist in a decade to have two straight albums go platinum in their debut week.

According to Hits Daily Double, “early retail reads” show that she’s on target to reach 1 million copies, with 4 million tracks from the LP already sold. It won’t be the first record she’s broken. In just six years, the singer/songwriter boasts 50 songs on the hot 100, only the fifth woman in history to do so.
