According to the IFPI–International Federation of the Phonographic Industry–half of the top 10 bestselling albums on vinyl in the world in 2023 were Swift’s, and seven of the 20. The organization recently released a handful of lists of the most popular albums globally across a number of consumption metrics, and Swift appears on all of them–but she’s truly the queen of this one ranking.
1989 (Taylor’s Version) leads the way by a huge margin. The re-recorded take on her pop behemoth 1989 sold 1.4 million copies on vinyl alone in 2023. It was the only title to hit the million-sales mark. It managed that massive sum in just over two months.
Swift claims the three bestselling titles on vinyl in the world in 2023. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) lands in second place, with 684,000 copies sold on wax alone. Midnights appears in third place, with another 562,000 copies purchased.
A few spots further down, Swift’s Folklore sits at No. 7. That surprise project sold 377,000 vinyl albums last year. The singer’s own Lover isn’t far behind, as it appears at No. 9 with 323,000 copies purchased.
As if filling half of the spaces inside the top 10 on this vinyl sales chart wasn’t impressive enough, Swift’s name also appears in more than one spot below the No. 10 rung. Evermore, which arrived just months after Folklore as a companion piece, lands at No. 13 with 237,000 copies sold.
Yet another re-recording, Red (Taylor’s Version), is also present on this 20-spot list. That project, one of her earlier efforts in this streak of re-releases, is down at No. 15 with 225,000 copies purchased in 2023.
