As of Nov. 1, with only one full day left in the album's debut tracking week, industry forecasters now say 1989 could sell over 1.3 million copies through Nov. 2. Thus, the album is now aiming to surpass the one-week sales record for an album by a woman, set by the debut of Britney Spears' Oops! … I Did It Again in 2000, when it arrived with 1.319 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. [/quote] It's funny, just a couple of weeks ago their was an article saying how we might go a whole year without a platinum album and the trend is going back to singles rather then albums. Still holds true but nice to see one album just make it in.

I'm not a big fan of her music, but Taylor Swift is a pretty awesome person. Go her.
i am glad to see an album of white noise is climbing to the top

We'll see how it goes when it actually sells that much. Still a good album so far imo
to be honest i fucking love shake it off
Whatever the music is I am happy people are still promoting and selling entire albums. For years people have been buying individual songs, and then started to stop owning music altogether and stream everything.
wait didn't she already release an album last year or something?
I find it interesting how little Shake It Off (I think that's the song everyone knows) has been played on UK radio from my experience. Sure, I can't say I've never heard it, but I've heard other songs a lot more in the last couple of months or so.
All of Taylor Swifts music has been removed from Spotify
And then there's me actually thinking the album was from 1989. I feel dumb.

"THIS. SICK. BEAT." (not sick beat continues playing)
I have yet to hear the full album, but I do enjoy listening to Shake It Off and "Out of The Woods"
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;46401324]I have yet to hear the full album, but I do enjoy listening to Shake It Off and "Out of The Woods"[/QUOTE] entire album is really good
It sounds nothing like 1989, what is this.
[QUOTE=Mabus;46402031]It sounds nothing like 1989, what is this.[/QUOTE] thats the year she was born i think
[QUOTE=SexualShark;46402855]thats the year she was born i think[/QUOTE] [quote]Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) [/quote] Correct. Also the album is influenced by the musical scene then.
[QUOTE=Bathtub;46398809]to be honest i fucking love shake it off[/QUOTE] its a catchy song I'll give her that, enjoyable too.
I haven't heard any of her songs since I was in high school, show's how disconnected from pop culture I am.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;46402855]thats the year she was born i think[/QUOTE]Taylor Swift is two years older than me? I just guessed that she was younger, I never really went and found out to be absolutely sure. I don't know if that's a common thing for people to do or not. I'll summon an expert: LARPARNAR DID YOU KNOW THIS? DID YOU KNOW HER BIRTHDAY?
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;46403769]I haven't heard any of her songs since I was in high school, show's how disconnected from pop culture I am.[/QUOTE] maybe you should because she makes awesome music
She took her music off spotify :(
