Taylor Swift’s “1989” topped the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart for the third consecutive week on Wednesday.
The most pop-oriented turn from the onetime country singer sold 312,000 copies last week, according to figures compiled by NielsenSoundscan. “1989” is the second album of the year, behind the soundtrack to Disney’s animated film “Frozen,” to spend at least three weeks atop the chart. Swift’s album has so far sold 2 million copies. It is the second-best selling album of 2014 after the “Frozen” soundtrack, which has sold 3.25 million copies.
