Yes, Republicans do have notoriously terrible music taste, don't they?

 

Goes in tow with their intelligence levels I feel.

 

My Blood has to be the next single, no doubt. Its so massive.

I would have said Figure 8 should be next myself :P Either way though, those two should be singles two and three.

And she's also the type of singer that parents would actively encourage their children to like, since she's seen as a good role model. Her music also has appeal to adults aswell (well, some of her songs).

 

I don't think politics really has to come into it, I'm a huge fan but I certainly wouldn't be a republican!

 

But I do agree with Eric's above point about her being a good role model, she doesn't feel the need to swear in her songs (instead some of her lyrics are more tongue-in-cheek) and she isn't presented in the same sexual manner as the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry etc. That along with nailing the pop/country crossover which has broad appeal (teen girls to older adults).

Politics doesn't really come into it, it's not like people actually base their liking of her on which party they are aligned to, but there are certain things that appeal to certain types of people and Taylor does have huge appeal to conservatives, who tend to be Republicans.

Maroon 5 #1 again, poor PSY :(

 

Was Taylor Swift briefly deleted from iTunes?

 

She was MUCH further ahead earlier, and everyone else seems to have doubled their sales.

 

 

 

Ah so 1D opened at #1 on Digital Songs with 341k, we all thought Billboard were underestimating a lot earlier on in the week. Taylor sold 312k and Adele did 261k in her few days on sale.

 

Something strange happened to Taylor on UK iTunes earlier too, and another iTunes store I think - maybe some kind of glitch?

I think it must have been an iTunes glitch as she dropped back down to #27 in the United Kingdom before climbing back to #15. Looking likely Taylor's going to get a fourth top 10 hit from this album already! Massive achievement! I'm delighted with the progression it sounds like Taylor has made with this album. WANEGBT may be my favourite song of 2012.

Another hit heading his way stateside.

YAY for CalFlo. Could this do better than 'Feel So Close'?

 

(I see they are doing the sensible thing and skipping WBCB, it is my favourite of his singles this era but would do absolutely nothing in the USA).

ACH up to 51. This is doing better than I thought!

Is this the first time Taylor has stayed at #1 all week with a promo single? Looks like she'll be knocking herself off. :lol:
