It was a big week for country queen Taylor Swift, who was recognized while on tour this week for reaching a huge milestone in her career - surpassing 20 million albums sold worldwide!
Amazing! Considering she has only released 3 albums during her short career, this is a super impressive feat. Not to mention that record sales continue to plummet, this is an amazing achievement!
Swift's 2006 major label debut, appropriately titled Taylor Swift became an smash hit, selling 5 million copies in the U.S. alone and spawning a slew of country and pop hits like "Tim McGraw", and "Teardrops on My Guitar". She followed that up in '08 with the even bigger Fearless which debuted at #1, sold 6 million copies, and won Tay Tay the Grammy for Album of the Year, becoming the youngest winner of the coveted prize EVER.
She continued to dominate the music world when last year she did the unthinkable and sold over 1 million copies of her third disc Speak Now, becoming only the 4th woman in history to do it (Britney Spears has the biggest debut by a female of all time, when she rocketed to the #1 spot in 2000 with her sophomore album Oops...I Did It Again! which scanned over 1.3 million in its first 7 days).
So congratulations Ms. Swift!! Can't wait to see what you have planned next!!
