Taylor Swift '1989' New Album Sales: Nears 1M Mark in First Week; Album Not Available on Spotify

The sale of Taylor Swift's new album "1989" is projected to break the one-million mark any time soon following its release on Monday, Oct. 27.

Two weeks ago, forecasters at Billboard pegged the new album to sell about 750,000 copies during its debut. The figure was updated this week to 900,000 copies.

The title of the album "1989" is a reference to the pop singer's birth year. The album's tracks also resembles music from the era.

The singer debuts as a pop singer in the album, having released a number of country-style albums early in her career.

The pop album explores Swift's past relationships, including songs suggesting her experiences with actors Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Swift's pop album is not available on Spotify or any other streaming services like Pandora.

The singer is adamant about getting it away from these free online streaming services because the 24-year-old singer considers the service, as well as piracy and file sharing, as the reason why her album "Red" suffered a decline in sales.

"It's my opinion music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album's price point is," she wrote. "I hope they don't underestimate themselves or undervalue their art."

Swift said music is an art and as such should be valued and considered important.

"Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for," she said.

Meanwhile, Spotify said their data shows that their service always pay up. The on-demand music streaming service has helped generate more than $400,000 in royalties. The company said a "current global star," whose name Spotify chose not to disclose, generated more than $3 million in royalty payments between August 2012 and July 2013
