OlderTaylor Swift Beats Jonas Brothers Record
Taylor Swift just broke a new record with “White Horse,” a track from her new album Fearless that was featured on the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy.
The soulful song will debut at #13 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 singles chart this week, giving the 18-year-old country cutie her 6th Top 20 debut of 2008. This breaks the all-time Billlboard record for the number of Top 20 debuts in a calendar year by any artist.
The previous record with five Top 20 Debuts this year was held by her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas’s pop-rock group, The Jonas Brothers.
Taylor’s other five songs that made the Top 20 include “Change”, “Fearless”, “You’re Not Sorry”, “You Belong With Me” and “Love Story”.
Fearless also sold 592,304 units in its first week of sales (her last album sold 3.5 million). Comparatively, the JoBros sold over 525,000 units of their latest album, A Little Bit Longer (their last album sold 1.5 million).

oh please. her albums and success have surpassed the jonas’. don’t even try to play the sympathy card. and vindictive? really. get a new word, that has gotten quite played out. she didn’t trash him or cuss him out. she said what happened. clearly you have never come in contact with a true vindictve ex girlfriend because she is certainly not the example of one. she acting like any other 18 year old high school girl.
her albums wonderful. well written and well sung. i have seen her live, she was great. you can’t exactly get to where she is with no talent.
i think taylor is talented and all that, but i really get pissed of that shes getting all the fame from the jonas brothers. i didnt even know her. people were going around saying Joe and Taylor dating. and i was like what? whos taylor?.
Even know she beat Jonas Brothers , the Jonas Brothers are so much more famous. Like come on, if you agree with that, and your seriously weird.
People in my school dont even know who she is until you metion Joe. I go to them and Im like omg, guess what happened to Taylor Swift? and their like WHO? im like the one dating Joe. then their like oh ohhh ok.
shes getting all the fame from Joe then she freaking talks about him 24_7.
I used to like Taylor, like 2-3weeks ago but now its gone UGH! She keeps talking bad stuff bout him. MOVE ON TAYLOR! HIS THE ON WHO GOT U WHERE U ARE NOW. UGH!
oh c’mon, you can SO tell why she made such a HUGE thing about the break-up now! seriously? a COUNTRY singer that huge? you’ve got to be kidding me, just cuz she’s trying to make ppl feel sorry for her and make joe seem like the bad guy… freakin ridiculous.
Taylor Swift is hella pretty, and I love most of her songs.
NICK JONAS, you sexy beast(;

YEAAAH TAYLOR! You deserve it! And I knew who she was 3 years ago so the JB press definatley didnt persuade me or any of my friends to buy her album.
Everyone is over those ugly prepubescent boys anyways.
Why does it matter if she ended the phone call? She probably hung up after he dumped her! I would have too!
Some of you girls need to get a grip. All of you say waaay worse things about your ex boyfriends to your friends, why is this such a big difference? Because she’s famous? Because he’s Joe Jonas? Get over it. Joe is not the best thing in the world some of you praise him to be.
TAYLOR ALL THE WAY!
Nick is the only talented one in that family anyways.
GO GO TAYLOR!!!!!!
and please don’t compare Fearless to the crappy A little bit longer, haha
Aww good for Taylor :D
But I haven’t bought it :P
& To be honest I probably won’t buy it .
But thats only cause she is not known in England, and her album won’t come out here :P
I will download it :D
***
she only sold that many in first week because everyone felt sorry for her and were angry with the way joe broke up with her….yeah it was wrong for him to break up with her over the phone but there was no need for her to make it public….its there private life …. and for her it came at a convenient time….although i do like her new song love story
luv it…ohhh..i feel so ashame for the jonas brothers…but no worries i both love them..hahaha
aww I love the Jonas’ fans being all pissy and saying Taylor is only famous because of them..that a country singer can’t hit big…I wonder what Carrie Underwood , Sheryl Crow , Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Jessica Simpson are what? hip hop?heavy metal?
Taylor’s debut album was as high on the charts as Jonas’ second was
how did the sales for their 1st album went again?
lol
denial much?
face it Taylor has bigger sale numbers, always had,most likely always will
and Jonas’ will be no one will 10 yrs from now, his teeny fans will find a new cute shallow guy to be OMG TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH I’m SOOOOOO GONNA MARRY HIM, YOURE JELOUSSSSSSSSS
while Taylor will be still big in the country music scene at least
They are two different people..two diffrent styles… how can u compare them… it would be like comparing the Boss to Stevie Wonder or Sintra to Michael Jackson…
So some people like one kind while another like another kind… so get over it…both have good records and both have fans that love them… some fans like both
yes what joe did was what a highschool teenage boy would do… got to remember they are only 18 and 19 years old and they have their whole lives in front of them mistakes will happen
GOOOOO TAYLOR <3

Do you really think she would have sold so many copies if it weren’t for the Jonas Brothers?? There is a song on the album that she has publicly stated was written about her breakup with Joe (Forever and Always). How many Jonas Brothers fans do you think bought the album just so they could listen to this song and celebrate the fact that Joe was single again? How many people who bought the album had never even heard of Taylor Swift until she dated Joe? Her album may have beat the Jonas’ in first week sales, but I think it had a little help. The Jonas Brothers will always be more talented and more popular than her any day.
#8, why are you associating Taylor with Disney? She’s not even signed to their record label. Taylor rocks and her songs are more personal and deep compared to lame Jonas Brothers who I’m starting to become annoyed of.
i luv em both but i think J Bros have alot momre talent
hey # 20 news flash! my 58 year old male straight not gay english teacher like them! so looks like JB has a good range too!
#23 jb will never be forgotten…they already have a spot in the rock n’ roll hall of fame in 2030 and they r in the now section!
# s8 i highly doubt that…their new album broke a record for going platinum in 10 weeks
