Plus: Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas returns to the top 10 for the first time this season.
The re-recording's jaw-dropping launch towers over every other Billboard 200 chart-topper in 2023.
"I love how kind she is," Clarkson said of the pop superstar.
Through Nov. 2, her catalog of albums have sold 2.484 million copies on vinyl in 2023.
The original 1989 saw on-demand streams of 27.8 million, versus more than 375 million for Taylor's Version over the same timeframe.
The set bows at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, marking Swift’s 13th chart-topper.
The re-recorded set bows with the largest week for any album in nearly eight years and Swift’s biggest sales week ever.
"Watching him challenge himself and make beautiful art over the years has been the thrill of a lifetime," the pop star wrote.
The original version of Speak Now lost 60% of its weekly U.S. consumption in the 12 weeks after Swift released her Taylor's Version album of re-recordings.
1989 (Taylor's Version) dropped Oct. 27.
