Taylor Swift's '1989' Sells 402,000 Copies in Second Week; Still No.1 on Billboard 200

As we all expected, Taylor Swift's new album 1989 spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The superstar's stunning release sold 402,000 copies in the week ending November 9th, according to Nielsen SoundScan — down a moderate 69 percent compared to its 1.287 million bow.

The album's second-week haul is the second-biggest week for an album in 2014, following 1989's debut a week earlier. 1989 has sold 1.688 million copies in its first two chart weeks.

Swift's last album, 2012's Red, fell by 72 percent in its sophomore frame (1.21 million to 344,000). The album before that, Speak Now, also started with more than a million (1.047 million) and slipped by 69.5 percent (to 320,000) in week two.
