Taylor Swift Has Coke Money

It was another good week for Southern Belle Taylor Swift. The pop country singer’s album Fearless topped the chart for a forth time, edging out Beyonce, Britney Spears, Nickleback, and Kanye West to form perhaps the shittiest pentagon ever to engulf the weekly Billboard list of top movers. I don’t mean to be a curmudgeon, but seriously, America? Supporting these five acts seemed like a good idea?

According to Billboard, Swift’s disc sold over two hundred and sixty thousand units, besting Sasha Fierce er Beyonce er Sasha Fierce by a little over fifty thousand. Britney’s resurgence continued with an estimated two hundred thousand Cds, while Nickleback and Kanye both sold roughly one hundred and seventy thousand artful masterworks.

Let me sum up: last week, more than a quarter million people decided they had to have the new Taylor Swift CD. Far less felt the inclination to pick up anything else ever recorded. Sweet.
