TAYLOR SWIFT SELLS OVER ONE MILLION IN A WEEK.


Country music sweetheart TAYLOR SWIFT has rocketed to the top of the U.S. album charts with over one million sales in a week.
Her new album Speak Now has become the first since Lil Wayne's 2008 release Tha Carter III to score a million sales in a week, according to chart compilers at Nielsen SoundScan's figures.
But the album fell 100,000 copies short of matching 50 Cent's The Massacre, which notched up 1,141,000 first-week sales in 2005.
Only 16 albums have debuted over one million sales since the latest chart-compiling era began in 1991, and only one other country artist - Garth Brooks - has achieved the feat.
According to Billboard.com, Speak Now accounted for 18 per cent of all albums sold in America last week and it has already become the eighth best-selling album of 2010.
Swift took time out to thank her fans for rushing out to buy her new album in a post on her Twitter.com blog. She wrote, "I... Can't... Believe... This... You guys have absolutely lit up my world. Thank you."
