Red came in second both times because it was split across 2 years. Personally, I think it's impressive that Red is #2 in 2013 given that, what, at least half of its sales came before the Dec 1, 2012-Nov 30, 2013 period that BB uses for 2013's year end charts.
Taylor's came in at #2 on the Top Artists chart (highest female), #2 Billboard 200 albums (highest female), #2 Billboard 200 artists (highest female), #3 Pop Songs (Trouble), #5 Pop Songs Artists (highest female I think), #4 Top Digital Songs Artists (highest female).
But the holiday season coming right after her release is what inflates her album sales, isn't it?
But she'll have more time to sell loads of album if she release earlier. She'll have boost too during holiday season. She usually only have like 5-6 weeks of sales counted on the Year End Chart.

True. Just that if you release early, your holiday boost will be far from as huge as what Fearless, SN and Red got. And she'll get less weeks at no.1 too.
"Never Grow Up" on repeat. 
But she always settles for the second spot.
It's top 10 in Digital and Radio, so I guessed streaming seriously ****ed her up.
