The huge sale of "Lover" in the first week, made it the largest selling album of 2019 after just a week of sale. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "A Star Is Born" is at No. 2 with a total sale of 447,000 in 2019.

"Lover" has been one of the most successful albums of Swift. This is the first time the "Blank Space" hitmaker will hold ownership to her songs.

Her former record label Big Machine Label Group was purchased by music manager Scooter Braun. This included the masters for her first six studio albums. That was when Swift decided to re-record all her previous albums. Swift later joined Universal Music Group's Republic Records, a deal which could be worth up to $200 million, according to multiple Forbes sources.
