I think all this hysteria around her is way too much exaggeration and hype and way too little reason for any of it... but her music is alright and she has some talent so you go girrrl!

I think people just need a big popstar to root for. Now that Gaga has imploded and Rihanna is on her neverending break, Taylor has swept in to fill the void.

Yeah, she's talented and makes good music, but she's soooooo far from my idea of true pop greatness. Still, good on her! There are far worse than her out there and I like her chutzpah!

It's nice to see someone who, even though they aren't exactly Beyonce or Gaga in the charisma stakes, just gets it. She hasn't set a foot wrong so far.

Taylor Swift makes history on the Billboard Hot 100, where her single "Blank Space" blasts from No. 13 to No. 1. As the song dethrones her prior smash, "Shake It Off," after four weeks atop the chart, Swift becomes the first woman in the Hot 100's 56-year history to succeed herself at the top spot.

3 1 1 1 SWIFT TAYLOR 1989 305791 -24 401599 1994151
49 163 162 177 BEYONCE BEYONCE 2809 1 2791 2099923

so basically 1989 will surpass beyonce's sales total achieved over the course of the entire last year within week 4 of its release. wow

Beyawnce only sold 2 million!? With all that hype around it I thought it would at least be at 4-5 million by now :confused:

Those are US numbers only right? 2 million in the US alone is pretty massive, I'd be hard pressed to find anyone that surpassed it in the past year (aside from Taylor, obvs).

u're quite right, these are usa only sales figures and for an album to even go platinum over there, let alone double platinum, is a big deal these days.

Her (lack of) charisma and voice aside, I honestly think her songs are not good enough for her to be a pop greatness of any sort. Bad Romance alone, both as a song and a music video, blows her entire discography out of the water. I can't name a track by her that anyone would describe as groundbreaking, or even novel.

it's a bit unfair comparing taylor to the pinnacle of gaga's greatness - bad romance is one of those amazing moments in pop history that only come up every once in a decade. perhaps we should compare taylor to the likes of katy perry and i believe the former wins the competition hands down.

That's exactly it! It's unfair to compare anyone to the likes of peak-Gaga, but Taylor truly shits on the vast majority of her peers.

But her success isn't comparable to that of the majority of her peers. Her sales are “defying retail gravity,” and her face is all over everything from high-end magazines to popcorn bags in the cinemas. How is it unfair to have especially high expectations of her?

Success does not equal quality. Looking at the success stories of the past year, she's definitely as good if not better than Miley and Katy.
