and one more thing for the taylor stans... being the biggest doesnt always mean being the BEST.

there were far better albums this year, by artists who are not huge superstars, but we never take the time to notice them because they dont harass us with promo and try and break sales records, they are ARTISTS who make quality MUSIC... do some research kiddies!!

No one is even saying this is the best album of the year. Probably only the Taylor Stans but who cares? They stan for Taylor so OBVIOUSLY they love her music.

No one CARES about music taste in this thread. This is a thread about sales. I don't know why they need to research.

I hope the Brit stains make those tacky matching avatars with OIDIA's first week sales just like they did after Born This Way. It's sad how threatened they are of another's success..

nnnn not the 3k differences between both Speak Now and her debut

1989 sold freaking 100k+ more than Red, that's something worth celebrating and no one was predicting 1.3 million in those threads.

She was so close, but not quite enough!

Well maybe that's your opinion.
But Taylor is an ARTIST who makes quality MUSIC, and the critics agree. In my opinion, one of the best releases of the year.

A 76 on metacritic??? that doesnt constitute a best album of the year, so many better albums.
try listening to the war on drugs, lost in the dream. maybe then you will get to enjoy some quality music.

I will be PERCHED for the final Billboard numbers. 3k is fairly negligible, it will be interesting.

[.:Allen:.]

Congrats Taylor. Amazing numbers.

Your posts are so embarrassing

Music taste is subjective. Sorry you'd rather have everyone conform to your preferred genre of music. Taylor's sales are incredible and deserved. The album was amazing in my opinion (and a lot of others'). Go listen to your indie music and stop trying to bring negativity into a thread about a giant achievement because you can't stand to see someone other than your faves being successful. Plus it's just music. Enjoy it. Stop shaming others for not listening to what you consider "quality" music. Scatter.

Then you haven't listened to it!

[Benzene]

And it's a quality album. I'm a former Taylor-hater but Red converted me

Three albums in a row selling over 1 million copies, her fourth in a row selling over 500K. There will NEVER be another artist like Taylor Swift. This is an amazing feat that I doubt will be replicated anytime soon. I really don't see why some people are in here trying to drag or start trouble, like...does your fave put up these numbers? Nope. Calm it down.

[CountryBritney]

So did she break Brit's record or not?

[newwil7l]

She will snatch Brit's record with Billboard.
