Out of curiosity how much did Taylor swift fearless (Taylor’s version) finish on and total sales?

I haven’t been tracking that sorry. It’s been mostly appearing in the lower end of the Top 200 so probably doing 1.2k per week or so. Maybe 60k for the year as a guess. I’d guess total maybe somewhere in the 250k zone; may or may not be platinum soon. Anyone who has something less vague feel free to say.

Yeah my guess is it won't go platinum till some time next year at earliest ,

It is interesting that SNTV performs on average better than FTV considering fearless was a lot bigger than Speak Now
