Nielsen SoundScan has awarded Taylor Swift for having the best selling debut week for a female country artist.
First week sales for her ‘Speak Now’ album were 1,047,000 making it the biggest selling debut for a female country artist ever.
Taylor Swift album sales in 2010 added up to around 4.4 million. She has sold over 4 million albums a year for the past three years and had it not been for Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, she would have been the biggest selling artist of that year as well.
Taylor is also the top selling digital artist of all-time. 34,269,000 Taylor tracks have been downloaded, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Taylor Swift was also the most played artist on US radio with 1,128,100 spins registered last year, according to Nielsen BDS.
