Taylor spends 22nd week in top 5 of BB200
Quote:
Taylor Swift's smash album 1989 continues its incredible chart run on the Billboard 200, as the former No. 1 set spends its 22nd consecutive week in the top five dating to its debut. On the current chart (dated April 11), the album holds steady at No. 5.
As Swift herself might sing, like in her hit single "22": "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22."  |

Except for country boys Billy and Garth, all are AOTY winners or Aoty/Roty nominees. Hmm, ready for Tay's domination.
She did ditch that genre.

Wait it already did? I forgot Recovery's total sales so far but if 1989 had passed it indeed then Yay!
