Yes! 2 of my favs are kicking butt. Congrats,Em! Taylor will get another record though, when this year is done. She will be the only artist to have top3 album 3 years in a row. And 2011 bestselling album? Gaga, Brit etc really have to work hard to get it from her. So Em and Taylor could be tied atop looking down on others.
Lady Gaga's The Fame ranks #5 for the year. It ranked #4 for 2009. It will become the fourth debut album in Nielsen/SoundScan history to make the year-end top 10 twice. It follows Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill (her American breakthrough), Evanescence's Fallen and Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift.
And he did it without re-releasing his CD which he could have done and easily add another platinum to his album in a matter of three weeks. I heard Interscope wanted to re-release before Christimas but he refused and plans to release a whole EP or perhaps a brand new album in 2011 instead.
