The numbers are in, and Taylor Swift's Reputation was the bestselling album in 2017!

She beat out Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) as Reputation sold 1.9 million copies.

This makes Taylor the first artist in United States history to have 3 separate records end a year as the bestselling album that year.

GIRL POWER!

Her other albums that were labeled the bestselling of the year were Fearless in 2009 and 1989 in 2014.

Multiple artists - Mariah Carey, Eminem, Adele, and Michael Jackson - have had two records be named bestselling for their year. But, no artist has ever had THREE records get this title, until now.

As a massive Swiftie, I'm super proud of her, and I can't wait to see her take over the world.
