Well, N Sync have the top 2 first week sales, and both of those were consecutively. They might have been able to do it if they had actually released a third album.

An impressive feature, but they actually had 3 albums. Their first album didn't debut with over a million. Also to be fair, albums sold far better back then. Taylor selling 1.3 million today is equal to selling about 2.5 million back in 1999.

Yes, but they didn't relase any albums after their 3rd, which did sell over a million. Taylor Swfit didn't accomplish it with her first three either. Well, to be fair, no other music artist was able to sell as much as N Sync in their first week, whether in 1999 or 2014. However, Hikaru Utada did manage to sell over 3 million copies in one week in Japan.
