Those sites are not updated every second so they are not that accurate compared to the actual iTunes store

I've checked itunes. SIO is no 1 in the US. Kworb sometimes has a little delay between updates.

1989 is actually cheaper on iTunes than Fearless Platinum edition, Red and Speak Now. Is the pre-order price for 1989 a discounted price?

It's the full price.

Having a lower price upon release compared to Red and Speak Now will boost sales then!!

It has a lower price 'cause it also has less songs.

@TSwiftLA: Yesterday Taylor got a book of letters from a fan & later she went on Instagram to thank the 14 fans who wrote them!

There wasn't enough demand for her to play in Brazil for her previous tours maybe
Or maybe she was just lazy

I'd heard of Ed Sheeran because he was already successful in the UK. There is no question though that his association with Taylor helped him massively to get exposure in the US. Don't forget the US is the biggest and most important market and many UK acts are successful domestically but try and break into the US. Most fail (like Girls Aloud, Take That, Gary Barlow), although quite a few have managed it in the last decade or so (Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Adele, now Sam Smith)

Ed himself gives credit to Taylor for his success in the US.

The US (and global) media are obsessed with Taylor. So if you talk about Taylor or she talks about you, if you are pictured with her, or duet with her, you are gonna get a lot of media attention in the US. Of course you then have to leverage this and show off your abilities. Ed has talent and so this enabled him to capitalise on this publicity to showcase his own music and this has accelerated the growing of his US profile and fanbase.

Thanks Revel for posting the facts.

I am sure Luana mentioned her coming to Brazil in her letter. I am sure she will go to South America at some point, hopefully for 1989 Tour.

Pop albums are usually cheaper. I am not sure how much "Prims" cost when it came out but i am pretty convinced it was less than $10.
