Country Rules Billboard Charts With Taylor Swift At The Top Spot

By on November 13, 2010

Taylor Swift’s third album, Speak Now, spent its second week atop the U.S. charts. After pulling in more than a million sales in its first week, the album is still selling well with 320,000 second-week sales.

Another country act, Jason Aldean, debuts at number two with My Kinda Party, while Sugarland make it a Nashville top three with The Incredible Machine in third place.

Mariah Carey’s holiday album Merry Christmas II You enters the chart at four and Lil Wayne’s I Am Not a Human Being rounds out the new top five.

It looks like Taylor is continuing her big winning streak. She had the best-selling album of 2009 with her award-winning, multi-platinum album Fearless. The 20-year-old singer has combined album sales of over 10 million. And it looks like next year is going to be a strong year for her as well, as Speak Now will no doubt continue to sell strong well into 2011.
