Lol, I don't really like Country music but I do like Taylor as a person. So I'll "support" her that way.

What a name you have there... Ps3...



Why do these Taylor Swift threads always end up with TS vs Lady Gaga.. it's like leo-j who is like never on this site anymore has a 6th sense for a Taylor Swift thread..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

well, sure this article is one year old - but I don't think she's actually managed to sell 30 MILLION albums during this time... http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/03/31/taylor-swift-20-million-albums/

Gr8 artists have such a tragic life...

Songwriters (for the acts that don't write their own songs) tend not to, because they aren't celebrities.

It's because they sell so many records in this country. It's like a competition against them.

Holy crap! I never knew there was a user called ps3. Lulz

OT: I heard this earlier...seems meh to me. It's gonna sell 600k in the US this week though, meaning it will have the highest debut for a female artist ever, beating lady gaga's born this way. Don't tell LeoJ...

but born this way came out on a friday.. so it only had 3 days to sell.. other wise it would have neared 1 million records in a week.... since it sold more it's 2nd week.. after selling 448k in 3 days..

and.. born this way broke itunes, when the song released as a single last february.. so there's no way to figure out how quickly it hit #1... when itunes started working well again.. it had been 3 hours later.. and born this way was #1


Yeah, but how many albums did Lady Gaga sell in comparison to Taylor?

Besides, a record is a record. It's lady gagas fault for not releasing it earlier so she could have a full week of sales.

Taylor Swift has sold 52 million albums worldwide.

No she hasn't.

Yes. My only source is wikipedia at the moment, but I've heard it claimed several times. Most of the albums were sold in the US, because she's a country star. So of course gaga has a tad of a sales advantage, because her music is in other countries, where Taylor's music is american patriotic anthems. I've heard Gaga sold 65 million though, but Taylor has so by far and away sold more albums than Gaga in the US.


If you're using Wikipedia as a source, then they have Taylor Swift's total worldwide album sales at 20 million...

Wrong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists


Try again

Album sales are not the same as record sales. Records sales encompass album sales AND single sales. Taylor swift has sold 20 million ALBUMS

WRONGGG. X_X Taylor has sold more than 50 million albums.


No...you are wrong. You can't argue with facts

Yes, I can, because your facts are wrong. Taylor's albums have all been huge smashes in the US. Gaga's first album was a smash, and her 2nd album under performed.


Uhm...okay? I'm not saying that Taylor's albums weren't huge smashes in the USA, because they were. I'm saying that she has sold 20 million albums worldwide. And why are you mentioning lady gaga...?

*Country

"Pop" in that sentence was more like "popular music" - which country can be as well. A pop song can both be of the genre "pop" but also mean "popular music"
