Taylor really seems to like working with Max despite Scott suggesting it. She will re-release Red and the all MM songs will appear on it, pushing her sales to 10 million in the US only.

Listening to the acoustic performances and WANEGBT and Treacherous sound amazing. Still cringe at 22 and its opening lines.
Treacherous next single please

Bruno Mars vs. Taylor Swift for No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
BY KEITH CAULFIELD, L.A.
DECEMBER 17, 2012 | 1:40PM EST
After a surprisingly robust weekend of sales for BRUNO MARS' new
album "Unorthodox Jukebox," it is now in the hunt for a No. 1 debut
on the BILLBOARD 200 chart.
LAST WEDNESDAY, it looked like the Atlantic Records album was
on course to sell about 140,000 to 150,000 by the end of the
tracking week on Sunday, Dec. 16. However, the set defied those
industry projections. Thanks to holiday shoppers out in force over
the weekend, label sources say it ultimately sold somewhere in the
range of 180,000 to 190,000.
Bruno Mars, 'Unorthodox Jukebox':
That now puts it in contention for No. 1, where it was thought
Taylor Swift**'s "Red" was going to rule for a fifth non-consecutive
week. Her album is projected to move** about 185,000 to 200,000.
We'll know their official Nielsen SoundScan sales figures on the
morning of Wednesday, Dec. 19, when the new Billboard 200
chart's top 10 will be revealed.
If Bruno tops the list, it will be his first No. 1 album. His debut effort,
2010's "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," opened at its peak -- No. 3 --
selling 56,000 in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Mario Draghi and Taylor Swift are two of Business Insider's most impressive people of 2012, but few recognize that there are important linkages between them that go beyond the fact that Joe Weisenthal wrote the blurbs. Consider, for example, "I Knew You Were Trouble" off her latest album:
Superficially, this is a song about a dating experience. Indeed, Swift herself says it's based on a past relationship of hers. But if you peer beyond the obvious, you'll see it's not a coincidence that she shares songwriting credits with two Swedes—Max Martin and Shellback—who are clearly bragging about their country's wise decision to stay out of the project of the European monetary union. Precisely because Sweden knew that the Maastricht Treaty was trouble when it walked in, Sweden was able to respond to the 2008 financial crisis with currency devaluation and avoid a sharp rise in unemployment. Swift's other collaborations with Martin and Shellback continue the theme of Sweden's splendid monetary isolation, with the singer proudly proclaiming "We're happy free confused and lonely at the same time" on "22"—exulting in the idea that it "It feels like one of those nights/ We ditch the whole scene." The three-part series ends, of course, with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" expressing the obvious point that while much of the Swedish elite bemoaned the country's unwillingness to join the euro at the beginning, that side of the argument has been decisively debunked.
But Swift possesses a broader perspective than that of her Swedish collaborators. Writing alone, she offers us "Stay, Stay, Stay"—a recognition that though entering the monetary union may have been a mistake, attempting to rupture it might be even more destructive. "Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all" she sings on "All Too Well," in a poignant reminder of Europe's unfortunate 20th-century history. In her own voice the ultimate verdict on the euro is that it's "Sad Beautiful Tragic"—one of the noblest political experiments ever undertaken by mankind, an effort to genuinely transcend nationalism and conflict undermined by technical design flaws.

The Lord her wisdom. I never would have guessed.

Well as long as they didn't lower her forecast she still has a chance. We will see what happens. It will be close but if she is at the upper end of the projections and he is at the lower end of his projections no problems.

It's going to be close. Fingers crossed that Tay will snatch the #1.

Red is number 2 on Kenya iTunes, I know that it's probably for a few copies or so, but it'd be cool if it made number 1!
Also.
Germany
25. WANEGBT (+10)
98. IKYWT. (+75)
106. LS (+24)
358. IKYWT (+12)

Omb I love how its Taylor and Bruno being #1 and #2 ! I still hope swift beats him lol.. and I think although its very weak musically 22 would be a good choice to show the pop and general public that not all of her songs ar ably just boys... it will be the bop of summer of 2013 and should have a ratchet boardwalk video of her having fun and embracing her true ***** inside of her. Andfor all that album talk. Its ahainst he law to criticize any of the holy albums since they are all perfect.. especially against each other y'all! Though Red > Speak Now >> Fearless >>> Taylor Swift.. they all have 10 out of 10 gems though.. Marys Hymn Tied Together With a Smile Cold As You Breathe The Way I Loved You Untouchable The Other Side of he Door Haunted Enchanted Innocent State of Grace The Last Time Holy Ground Sad Beautiful Tragic and All Too Well to name a feewww veryyy fewww
