Taylor Swift Sells Over 1 Million in Record Billboard 200 Debut


Billboard reports:

Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" album spoke loud and clear last week, as it will debut at No. 1 on this week's Billboard 200 chart with a whopping 1,047,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the largest sales week for an album since 50 Cent's "The Massacre" bowed at No. 1 with 1,141,000 in March of 2005.

Since SoundScan began tracking music sales in 1991, there have only been 16 instances where an album sold at least a million copies in a week. The last time we had a million-plus frame was when Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" launched at No. 1 with 1,006,000 in June of 2008. The SoundScan-era record week is still held by NSYNC's "No Strings Attached," when it debuted at No. 1 with 2,416,000 in 2000.

I think KANYE is a d***** bag these days but I would say his MTV stage rush moment helped her album sell atleast 200,000 copies more than it would have

Why n***** knocking the girl. She sold a Mill, that's all we know. Now when Jay-Z, Beyonce, Lil Wayne etc. sells none of ya'll saying they bought back albums. If ya'll don't realize because ya'll are being biased rap fans, Taylor Swift is the hottest artist on the world right now. I don't listen to that s*** but people love her and her music. She sells more and more every time out. The reason why your favorite rappers can't do those numbers is because black people which is most rap fans bootleg all their music while white people which often times hate rap are purchasing the music they like. If you wanta see some black people do these numbers stop b******* and go out and buy some damn records and stop bootleging. It's your fault.

@lorenz V are you f****** stupid they would lose money, from in store cd sales records labels only get around 50% of the revenue, why the f*** would they buy 1 million copies if they only get 50% of that back, learn more about the industry you silly f***
