I am not expecting it to happen and if it does it will take years so don't hold your breath!
I am not sure that Eminem will go 4 Plat again though as his last album is only 2 Plat. This still makes MM2 one of the best selling albums in the US in recent years though.
Interesting to see whether Frozen Soundtrack could reach 4Plat. I think it might.
Taylor is less than 2 million or so units away from selling more albums in the US than any other new artist this century! She is currently third behind Linkin Park and Nickelback. To add context to this, the other acts at the top of this list debuted right in 2000 or 2001, so they had 5 or 6 more years to accrue sales than Taylor did AND the albums market was a lot bigger at that time meaning it was easier to sell more albums.

The funny thing is that Recovery has the smash hit Love The Way You Lie while Speak Now only has Mean, and they almost sold the same.
If only Speak Now has more memorable singles. The other chance that Speak Now could outsell Recovery is Taylor's career longevity. If she will still big 5 years from now there's a chance that her older albums will continue to sell.
I'm afraid Frozen might outsold Red. They better discount it
I believe Taylor is second (again
) in best-selling album artist this decade! She better outsold Adele next era.
I wonder if Taylor have a chance to be the Artist of the Decade.
). I'm more afraid that Rihanna or Katy Perry will get that Artist of the Decade award.
