There is finally a platinum-selling album in 2014: Taylor Swift's brand-new "1989."

The record, which was released on Oct. 27, sold 1.287 million copies in its first seven days on the market, according to Rolling Stone.

This staggering amount is the largest first sales week for an album since Eminem's "The Eminem Show" debuted to sell just over 1.3 million copies back in 2002, NBCNews reports.

Swift's fifth studio album is quickly securing the title for the best-selling album released in 2014.

Before "1989," not a single music album put out this year had reach the one million copies sold, or platinum, benchmark. The closest, and now second place, album is Coldplay's "Ghost Stories," which was still trailing below 800,000 units bought.

"1989" is Swift's fourth consecutive number one album. She has also reached the top of the charts with 2012's "Red," "Speak Now" in 2010 and "Fearless" in 2008. The earliest project also earned her a Grammy for Album of the Year.

The 24-year-old singer also became the only woman to have three albums sell over one million copies in one week, according to Forbes. "Red" hit the high mark of 1.2 million units in seven days in October 2012, only slightly less than "1989." In 2010, "Speak Now" squeaked out just over one million copies in its debut week.

Beyond the commercial success of the project, critics are also commending Swift on a top-notch transition in her career between country and pop hits.

"Deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic," Rolling Stone reviewer Rob Sheffield described the album. "'1989' sounds exactly like Taylor Swift, even when it sounds like nothing she's ever tried before."

Unfortunately for Swift, this album won't be eligible for any Grammys this year. The nomination period closed on Sept. 30 for consideration of the upcoming awards, so "1989" will not be in the mix come December. However, Swift is likely to see some recognition the next time around.
