Taylor Swift: #1 Album In America!

Country superstar Taylor Swift has the #1 album in America, ya’ll!!!

The 18-year-old singer/songwriter’s sophomore effort, Fearless, sold 592,000 copies in the last week, the largest opening U.S. sales week in 2008 by a female artist and the fourth biggest overall, behind Lil Wayne, AC/DC and Coldplay.

Universal Music Group, the world’s biggest music company, also just has signed an international marketing and distribution deal with Taylor’s label Big Machine Records.

“She is by some distance the biggest breakthrough for an American artist in America over the last year,” executive vice president of Universal Music Group International Max Hole tells Reuters. “I don’t really see her as a country artist. If you listen to the records and see her play live, she has much more in common with acts like Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus.”

Congrats, Taylor!!! You’re #1!!!

CONGRATS TAYLOR! Your album is absolutely amazing. I can’t stop listening to it. I even bought two copies. You are truly talented and such an amazing songwriter.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, TAYLOR…. IF I CAN FIND IT, I WILL BUY IT….OR CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME ONE, JARED ?…LOL…JUST KIDDING…I WILL KEEP LOOKING !!!!

Taylor didnt deserve that..the only reason alot of people bought it was because they felt sorry for her…whatever

What’s so ironic about the whole thing, is that the girl cannot sing live at all. Did you see/hear her on the CMAs the other night? She was awful!

I love you taylor

taylor rocks
the best

She is ALWAYS awful live. When she’s got the recording studio and dubbing, she does fine. Where her talent lies is in the writing and that is ALL.

Good for her, but I’m glad they are at least admitting that she is not a country artist. Never has been.

yayy tay! the album is amazinggg.

congrats to taylor! i love the albummm =)

i agree with #11
she doesn’t deserve it
she has no talent
dogs sing better than her

i’ve heard her live, she sounded great.
you can’t really get where she is on no talent at all
good for her. the albums great.

aw good for you taylor! love the album!!

STUNNING!

dont even say the girl cant sing

because she was sick at the cmas that means she cant sing? i have heard her live, shes amazing.

YAY TAYLOR!!!!! IVE LOVED YU FOR OVER A YEAR AND IM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE YOU MAKING IT BIG!

Good for her!

Congratulations Taylor.

She is not Country. She is a pop artist.
