Her domination of pop and country continued as “Red,” her fourth studio album, sold more than 1.2 million copies in its first week, making it the highest selling debut week by a female artist since Britney Spears’ “Oops... I Did It Again” in 2000. In less than two months, it sold enough copies to be the biggest seller of 2012, behind only Adele’s “21.”
