thanks for that info can't wait to see if Taylor wins any of those CMA's especially album of the year cause that combined with the deluxe edition release a couple of weeks prior will make Fearless unstopable going into the holiday season

Taylor Swift, 19, is Youngest Nominee Ever for Entertainer of the Year

"The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by the 6,000 plus industry professional members of CMA..."

"Can Taylor Swift Crack CMA Awards Glass Ceiling?

Taylor Swift may not have walked away with the most Country Music Association Award nominations this morning, but she did walk away with the most impressive nod... the teen songbird had the distinction of becoming the first female solo artist in nine years to make the cut in the male-dominated field of Entertainer of the Year, the highest honor."

Since Fearless hasn't gone for RIAA certification, it must be BMR's own data.

And similar to their other recent press release:

"...Taylor has sold more albums than any artist in the world so far this year..."

With BLG's Love Drunk release date just two days ago, the chain music store HMV Canada reports Boys Like Girls at #7 this week. Taylor has a duet on the 4th track of their new album Love Drunk.

"The track, “Two is Better than One” offers collaboration with Taylor Swift - the young, chart-topping country sensation. The track’s country twist and beautiful acoustic accompaniment will definitely strike a favorable chord with listeners."

YOUR WEAKEND TOP 15 (ISH) CHART PREVIEW: The top of next week’s chart will look something like this (albeit with more traditional numbering), a mix of old and new names. Jay-Z will easily take the top spot with a total that may be the best we’ve seen since the Dave Matthews Band debuted with over 400k during the first week of June. The Beatles will score five in our Top 15, with Abbey Road leading the way. Michael Jackson’s lone remaining title in the Top 15 will be Number Ones, likely just missing the Top 10. With appearances from Whitney Houston, Brooks & Dunn and all of the above, one might start to question whether it’s really 2009. But records from the debuting Boys Like Girls as well as such holdovers as Miley Cyrus, Zac Brown Band, Kings of Leon and Taylor Swift are present to remind us what century this is.
1. ** Jay-Z (Roc Nation) 300-350k
2. Miley Cyrus (Hollywood) 110-120k
3. Whitney Houston (Arista/RMG) 75-80k
4. ** Abbey Road (Apple/Capitol) 70-75k
5. ** Raekwon (IceH20) 60-65k
6. ** Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Apple/Capitol) 50-55k
6. ** The Beatles (White Album) (Apple/Capitol) 50-55k
8. Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 45-50k (Cracker Barrel has an exclusive version this week featuring three live bonus tracks.)
8. Trey Songz (Atlantic) 45-50k
10. ** Rubber Soul (Apple/Capitol) 40-45k
10. Michael Jackson Number Ones (Epic) 40-45k
10. ** Boys Like Girls (Columbia) 40-45k
10. Kings of Leon (RCA/RMG) 40-45k
10. ** Brooks & Dunn (Arista Nashville) 40-45k
15. ** Revolver (Apple/Capitol) 35-40k
15. Black Eyed Peas (Interscope) 35-40k
15. Colbie Caillat (Universal Republic) 35-40k
15. Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 35-40k
** Denotes debut
You may now return to watching endless repeats of SC Congressman Joe Wilson yelling, “You Lie” to the Prez. Calls to Wilson’s office running 3-1 in his favor. What a country. (9/11a)

Big drop for Whitney... However the following week, there's Oprah so she should go up... With the debut of the ILTY video, I wonder if it will help sales this weekend. I was hoping for over 100k, but I guess she's still no.3. I really hope MDB picks up once the new video is released, otherwise they will need to release a new single or do some promo.

So, I suppose Fearless still makes the top 10 BB200 because the Beatles and MJ are on catalogue.

It is interesting how strong Miley's album is - since she may be overtaking Taylor for #2 position in total artist sales for 2009.

It's crazy to see the sales of the current album don't decrease at the same moment a new edition is announced for in several weeks !

This is surprising to have Fearless certified for 4 million in early September when Soundscan is reporting 3.7 million. It seems like a large difference between shipments and sales.

I guess we'll know for sure when the RIAA report on Fearless comes out
