Also you should put an astrick by Lady Gaga BTW, as it was 99p on amazon when like half the sales were made, so really Taylor has the two biggest first week sales :elephant:

Taylor Swift being top 2 though, as we should go by profit & not include blatant cheating for sales

Whenever Taylor releases an album, usually all her album tracks are in the top 30 on itunes, I think shes the only huge artist in the US.

Had there chart worked by sales, she would have about 15 tracks in the top 40, imagine if they had a top 40 uk radio like we do :laugh:

It went platinum less than a month after it was released I think.
