1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. When Taylor Swift releases

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: an album, it typically becomes one of, if not the

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: best performing albums of the year within days of its release,

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: and her latest Midnight's no exception. In fact, after only

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: three days, it's already become the best selling album of

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: two across all formats, sliding past Harry Styles Harry's House,

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: and in that same span of time, it had already

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: become the best selling final record in the modern era

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: as well, moving more than half a million physical units.

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: It's an almost inconceivable number in a streaming era. Before

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: the week is over, Midnights is expected to set several records,

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: but we don't know until Friday what they will be.

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: As it stands, it's likely the album will debut at

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: number one on the Billboard two hundred, which would make

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: at her eleventh album to do so. Remarkable feat that's

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: direct from Hollywood,
