Billboard revealed today that the country girl, Taylor Swift's new album "RED" sold 1.21 million copies in the US in first week.

Taylor was overwhelmed when she heard the news. "They just told me Red sold 1.2 million albums first week," the singer tweeted. "How is this real life?! You are UNREAL. I love you so much. Thanks a million ;)," she added.
"RED" will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Swift's third No. 1.
Swift will begin touring in North America for the album on March 2013.
