Posted November 12, 200816 yr A TAYLOR-MADE SWIFT BOAT RIDE TO THE TOP November 12, 2008 Q4 gets underway in earnest this week, with Big Machine/Universal Republic country phenom Taylor Swift leading the way, according to preliminary reports from record retailers whose doors are still open around Obamaland. With Ellen DeGeneres devoting her entire show to the singer yesterday, and a performance of “Love Story” tonight at the nationally televised CMA Awards on ABC tonight, where she’s nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year, Swift’s new album Fearless is headed for first-week sales of between 500-550k, easily #1 next Tuesday. Jive/ZLG American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is headed for an impressive 225-240k for his self-titled debut album, good for second place, thanks to the smash single, “Crush.” Labelmate T-Pain gives the House of Weiss two in the Top 3 with his latest effort, Thr33 Ringz, his tribute to the art of the Auto-Tune, looking at between 175-190k. UMe’s Now 29 returns with first-week sales in the 160-170k range, a far cry from its glory days, but probably good enough for #4. Reprise veteran New Age goddess Enya is back, looking like 85-95k, while RCA/RMG songstress Christina Aguilera’s greatest hits Target exclusive should do at least 75k, maybe more, with both locks for the Top 10. WB’s Seal looks in the 30-40k range. http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPa...gi?news07343m01
