Yeah cause those are WORLDWIDE sales.. Country music is only really big in America, Taylor is the first Country single to really break this barrier. Sales are nothing like they were years ago

Thanks for proving my point, then! If she's only big in one country, how can she then be important? There's a reason why the Beatles are the most important band in history, it's because they're known worldwide, play Yesterday in any city in any country and there isn't any soul that won't recognize it.

You claim her to be comparable to The Beatles and now you say she's only known in one single country. Sorry, but this is so laughable it's not even worth discussing

Also, you just said it yourself. She sings country music which isn't really to popular world wide or here.... So she can never get that big.

Are you dodging the facts on purpose to win this argument? She crossed over to mainstream

See my post above... She crossed over. She has Country and mainstream radio on her side.. Which is HUGE the beatles could NEVER do that.

"The beatles were the biggest at one point"!?

The Beatles are still the biggest band in history, very few artist rank the same as the Beatles. Taylor Swift definitely does not.

You need to come up with a better argument to even compare The Beatles with Taylor Swift other then "they both play there own instuments and write there own music" (most artist do this already), and she is not the number 1 artist today, she is the number one Country singer yeh, but even if she was the number 1 artist today that still doesn't mean you can compare her to The Beatles. I'm sure at one point in time Kanye West was considered to be the number 1 artist, but can you even come close to comparing him to The Beatles, hell no.

The is so riduculous I feel like my heads going to explode.

She is too the #1 artist today. Name 1 artist that still makes music today that gets mainstream play thats bigger? it's a fact, her albums are outselling EVERYONE.

Rihanna?

I would like for you to reply to my other points. Even if she is number one why does that mean you can compare her to The Beatles?

And theres no way she'll sell anywhere near what The Beatles sold for albums, her two albums combined sold over 10 million, that's not really impressive.

Sure, now show me the sales. Oh, that's right, you can't, because I showed them and you dissed them. I mean, if she had crossed over, she'd have the sales backing her.

And maybe the Beatles didn't bring country to mainstream, because the Beatles never did country, ever thought of that?

Rihanna doesn't sell huge amounts of albums. Only her pervious album crossed the 2.5 million mark. That's half of what Fearless sold in just 1 year.

Cause the Beatles were the huge stars of the time and shes todays huge star.

 

IN 2009 IT IS. Sales are not big anymore FACT

Do the research. Taylors album is selling like crazy. I mean look at the billboard top 10.. Shes still in it OVER A YEAR LATER.

 

Yeah, and Taylor doesn't sing POP and she crossed over.

So she is popular right now, with the help of Kanye. It won't last long..... When artists come out with good songs they become popular for a while. That's what happens.

LMAO so wrong. So you are saying she sold 4 million albums in the last 2 months.. NO. She crossed over way before that and she won a VMA cause she crossed over. You Belong With Me is arguably the biggest country song of all time.

lol but your missing my other points now, just because she is number one how can you compare her to the beatles?

There was several people that hit number 1 and they didn't get anywhere near the beatles. Justin Timberlake, Eminem, 2Pac, Kanye West, 50 cent, Beyonce, Rihanna etc. They all hit number 1 and had albums that sold very well, and there still no where near the legendary level of The Beatles.

The only people you can compare The Beatles to is Michael Jackson and Elvis. That's it.
