People kinda like Taylor... and by "kinda", we mean, THEY REALLY REALLY REAAAALLLY LIKE HER!
Taylor Swift is consistently ranked at No. 1 on the MySpace social network, and she’s now topped an extraordinary mark: Her music has been streamed more than 50 million times from her MySpace page, demonstrating how avid her fans are at finding her songs.
That comes at a time when she continues to rack up major milestones. Her self-titled debut album was certified triple-platinum last month, meaning her label has shipped more than 3 million copies. In addition, the ringtone for "Our Song" went gold after being downloaded as a signature sound for 500,000 cell phones. To top it off, the Taylor Swift album has now spent a total of 20 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart. The only other female acts who’ve spent that many weeks at the top of that chart this decade are the Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood.
Taylor’s already the winner of new-artist trophies from both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music, a Grammy nominee and one of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People in the World. She’s in the process of recording her sophomore album, which will likely be released before the end of the year.
