The album’s immediate and staggering success could be a contributing factor. Swift wrapped up a massive media blitz for “Showgirl,” which was released on Oct. 3. Already, the album has racked up historic streaming numbers, and a huge amount of album variants have been sold.Here’s a look at how “Showgirl” has exploded in its first week. ‘TLOAS’ comes in second for first-week streams this yearSwift has claimed the second-best streaming week of the year, with more than 460 million on-demand official streams in the U.S., according to a Thursday report from Billboard, which tracks sales, streaming and airplay data for its charts. The outlet cited initial reports from data tracking firm Luminate in its report. The streaming data for “Showgirl” pulls together multiple versions of the album, including the standard edition, which features 12 songs, and two other track-by-track versions that include commentary from Swift and lyric videos for all of the tracks. Taylor Swift talks with host Seth Meyers on Oct. 8.Lloyd Bishop / NBCSwift’s’ numbers fell behind only Morgan Wallen, whose album “I’m the Problem” earned 462.63 million streams during its May release week, according to Billboard’s count. The music-tracking outlet noted Swift’s major release week easily falls among the top 10 all-time biggest streaming weeks for any album. Swift herself holds the record for largest streaming week ever with “Tortured Poets Department,” which saw 891.37 million streams in its opening week last year, Billboard reported. “TLOAS” also broke a single-day streaming record on Spotify, achieving the title in only 11 hours, according to the streaming platform. The album saw 6 million pre-saves — beating “TTPD,” which previously held the record. Swift expected to break longstanding sales recordSwift is poised to break the longstanding record for the largest sales week for an album in the modern era, which is currently held by Adele’s “25.” The British singer’s album sold 3.378 million copies during its release week in 2015, Billboard reported. “Showgirl” sales have likely been boosted by a host of exclusive editions of the album released on iTunes this week that were available for only 24 hours each. Swift also released a wide range of exclusive CDs and vinyls that contributed to its massive sales. According to Billboard’s count, she has put out a whopping 32 different versions of “Showgirl,” including 18 CDs, eight vinyls, one cassette and five downloadable variants. Swift’s exact sales numbers will be released on Sunday, Billboard said. “Showgirl” will also debut on the Billboard 200 chart the same day. ‘The Official Release Party of a Showgirl’In conjunction with the release of “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift released an 89-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album that only played in theaters from Oct. 3 to Oct. 5. The movie featured the premier of the music video for lead single “The Fate of Ophelia,” a look at the making of the video, Swift’s explanations of each song, and lyric videos that went track by track.

Swift’s “Showgirl” movie event achieved such success even when there was barely any promotion — there was no trailer, no Thursday preview showtimes, and that was after she announced its release only two weeks before it hit theaters. Late night around the globe Swift has spent the last week on what appears to be her most comprehensive media tour in years. In addition to a handful of appearances on radio shows in the U.K., Swift kicked off release week across the pond on “The Graham Norton Show.” She traveled back to the States in time to make it on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday and, followed that up with a second trip to 30 Rock and a feature on “Late Night” with Meyers on Wednesday. Swift and Fallon talked engagement rings, masters recordings and rumors that Swift turned down the Super Bowl Halftime Show because the NFL wouldn’t allow her to own the concert footage (not true, said Swift). She also explained the meaning behind most of the 12 tracks and praised her Eras Tour dancers for their work on the “Ophelia” music video. While joking with Meyers, Swift revealed her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, made a massive mix-up at one of her Eras Tour shows. The media tour appears to be over for now, but Swifties are hoping for a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” when Sabrina Carpenter hosts on Oct. 18.

A study released in January said imports of those larger vehicles from Mexico have tripled since 2019.Higher tariffs on commercial vehicles could put pressure on transportation costs just as Trump has vowed to reduce inflation, especially on consumer goods such as groceries.Tariffs could also affect Chrysler-parent Stellantis STLAM.MI, which produces heavy-duty Ram trucks and commercial vans in Mexico. Sweden’s Volvo Group VOLVb.ST is building a $700 million heavy-truck factory in Monterrey, Mexico, set to start operations in 2026.Mexico is home to 14 manufacturers and assemblers of buses, trucks, and tractor trucks, and two manufacturers of engines, according to the U.S. International Trade Administration.The country is also the leading global exporter of tractor trucks, 95% of which are destined for the United States.“We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for National Security purposes!” Trump added.Mexico opposed new tariffs, telling the Commerce Department in May that all Mexican trucks exported to the United States have on average 50% U.S. content, including diesel engines.Last year, the United States imported almost $128 billion in heavy vehicle parts from Mexico, accounting for approximately 28% of total U.S. imports, Mexico said.The Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association also opposed new tariffs, saying Japanese companies have cut exports to the United States as they have boosted U.S. production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks.ReutersReuters
