Taylor Swift Beats Jonas Brothers Record

Taylor 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).

yes, the phone call was 25 seconds, but not because Joe said it in 25 seconds. Taylor actually hung up on Joe. So no one can hold the 25 second thing against Joe. Although it still doesnt justify the fact that he did break up with her over the phone. But seriously people, don’t start hating on him because he did that, guys make mistakes too, and its not like he cheated on her or anything.

I completely agree with number 27. People need to stop with this debate on Taylor vs Joe. And comparing album sales isnt really necessary. Seriously, what are we, 5?

oops, I posted that twice XD

Okay, this is the LAST time I will post. Well to the people who say that the Jonas Brothers will be forgotten a few years from now need to get their heads checked or something. The Jonas Brothers already have a spot locked up for them for the Rock and Roll hall of fame for 2030. Seriously, even thought they didn’t sell quite as much as Taylor Swift did, it doesn’t mean that they didnt sell a lot. Come on, are you telling me that over 500,000 copies in the first week isn’t a lot? Yes, it doesn’t match the number of their old album, but they still have a couple more years for people to buy it, just like Taylor Swift does. It’s like saying 10 years ago that the Backstreet Boys would be forgotten, and there are still millions of people who remember them!

Although I am not a fan of Taylor, it is not because I don’t like her. It’s because I don’t like country music. So I probably won’t buy her album.

Everyone needs to chill about the whole “TEAM JOE” or “TEAM TAYLOR” crap. They broke up. What’s done is done.

And what is up with Jared? Comparing albums sales JUST because they are between ex’s. Seriously, can you be any more immature? Is this Jared I’m reading, or Perez?

The point is, the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift are both VERY successful, and who gives a **** over who does better? Because in the end, they will both be remembered and honored in the future.

OMG!!!! Everyone knows that Taylor and Joe weren’t really dating. She was using him to further her career. She begged and begged and begged until she was allowed to announce them at the VMAs. Joe is a great guy and didn’t break up with her over the phone because they were never dating.

This letter is for #’s 12(UM), 20(jo), 26,(Jackie),36(tia),
Yall can keep your nasty *** comments to yourself. Just because poor little Taylor got upset over him breaking up with her she has to go PUBLIC and make it clear that Joe is an as* but let me tell u something. I think that Joe Nick and Kevin are the biggest sweethearts and when they get “old” to the other fans they will never get old to me and Neither will Taylor I love her songs to she inspires young girls how to get over the guys, and not only that what first love is. I love both of them and don’t hate either one of them at all so get over your selves, also I am 15 years old and I am in love with the Jonas Brothers I am not 8 Years old so Fuc*in get over it.
-GROW UP HO*SSSS Lindsey

what the hell is yalls problem get over your ******* selves damnet!
MOVE ON WITH YOUR ******* LIFES!

i love them both but taylor dissed joe with dolls and EVERYONE saw it! i mean, she kinda got revenge..but did she ever stop and think..while she let everyone know what he did and what a jerk-ish thing he did…did she think that joe is going to hear that too? he had to live through her bashing him over and over again on T.V., i love taylor..but that was a little harsh.

she sucks! she can not sing live at ALL! She”s winie too, If you can write two cds of songs about guys breaking up with you, wouldn’t you get the clue that u need to do something different, maybie your a little controlive, obsesive maybie?? hmm now were have we herd that before! maybie the guy in picture to burn had the right idea……
