. (Radio.com) You don't need charts to know that Taylor Swift's 1989 is a mega-hit, becoming a cultural moment that has stretched beyond its fall 2014 release and throughout the first half of this year.

But if you like charts, here's a notable achievement for you: 1989 has surpassed five million copies sold, becoming the fastest album to do so since Usher's Confessions in 2004.

It took Swift 36 weeks to cross five million records sold, while it took Usher only 19 weeks, according to Billboard. 1989 is also the first album to pass five million in sales since 2011, when Adele's 21 crossed the mark on its way to selling more than 11 million records to date. Read more here.
