She currently sits behind only the Frozen soundtrack in terms of most copies sold in 2014. In the runner up slot, Swift moved another 214,000, which brings her four week total to 2.21 million. If anyone is counting, that’s almost three and a half times the size of One Direction’s achievement. Swift easily keeps her hold on the largest single week sales figure this year, having moved 1.287 million copies of her latest album 1989. The British boy banders dethrone Taylor Swift, who enjoyed three weeks at the top spot and slides to number two. Pretty technical, but you have to give credit where it’s due (especially to legends like The Monkees and The Kingston Trio). Both The Monkees and The Kingston Trio saw their albums reach the pinnacle of the charts, but some of those albums didn’t start off there. While they are the first band or group in history to have their first four albums debut ahead of everybody else, they aren’t actually the first to have their first four albums end up at number one. They follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears, DMX, and Beyonce, the latter two of which saw five CDs start in first place. When it comes to all acts (including solo artists), One Direction are the fourth in charting history to have their first four records debut at number one. The Midnight Memories 1D Night was better than I could have imagined! The DJ was so enthusiastic and danced along to each song.Four is also their fourth number one in less than three years, which is truly an amazing feat.
