It's not a cheap move. A large number of albums are selling physically. I went to Walmart last night and there were literally no Taylor albums in the new release part. Not to say the Amazon thing doesn't help. Anything to better sales overall.

Stop explaining to these children. Wait til they see how much she sold digitally (which include all digital stores), so they can shut the hell up.

who are you calling children dumbass?...it doesnt matter how much it sells...the move is ****in cheap regardless of how much she sells ... so you need to shut the **** up

Calm the **** down!

That's the price for digital copies on Amazon only. It's a good price for digital albums and this has been done many times before.

Yes, they did this with Rated R.

It doesn't hurt revenue if you sell a DIGITAL album for $4.

Get that milli Taylor!!

[Katy V.!]

STOP with that 4$ thing....she sold 1million (or almost, in the "worst" case) ..get over it

[Cap10Planet]

According to Hits, Taylor is a lock to break the million mark:

TAYLOR MADE: Drum roll, please. Taylor Swift's Speak Now (Big Machine/Universal Republic) will forever hold a piece of history. The album is now a lock to sell more than a million copies its first week, and wonderers are wondering how high that total could go. Swift is also set to break the mark for percentage of total sales in a single week, with 17-18%, topping NSYNC's record of 15.3% back in March 2000, when No Strings Attached sold 2.4 million. That means one out of every five CDs or download sales this week will be the Taylor Swift album. Whoa. (11/1p)

[Rico Shameless v2]

Interesting. Hopefully they place her a bit past 1 million, because we know Soundscan numbers are usually a bit lower. Anyway CMAs next week, all the country CDs will boost so...sad to future releases.

Well, HITS' final numbers for Lil Wayne was like 946k or something like that and Soundscan reported over 1 million copies.

It seems that the differences for high selling albums between the Soundscan and HITS numbers can be either really higher or really lower.
