TAYLOR SWIFT FIRST-WEEK SALES
Lil Wayne has held the title as the only musician to sell more than a million copies in his first week since Tha Carter III hit shelves in 2008, but he’s forfeited his crown to Taylor Swift.
The country-pop star’s newest album Speak Now debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart this week, selling a staggering 1,047,000 copies, the largest sales week since 50 Cent’s The Massacre moved 1,141,000 units in March 2005.
Swift not only joined the milli club, but she also earned the second-largest sales week of a country album since 1991. Garth Brooks is the only artist since then to cross the seven-figure mark, selling 1,085,000 copies of his 1998 albumDouble Live in its opening week.

I feel that more people need to be more open-minded with music. It was an annoyance to me when people were hating on all of her awards this year, saying that this R&B artist or that artist deserved it more than her b/c “who is she?”. Country music is the top selling genre in the world……..open your minds people!
