This has been a good week for Swift. She sold more than 545,000 digital tracks and debuted three new tracks (songs previously only available on the Target Deluxe Edition of "Speak Now") on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, with If This Was A Movie, Ours and Superman entering the chart at numbers 10, 13 and 26, respectively. Movie is Swift's eighth song to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, a record. She also locked down three of iTunes' all-genre Top 10 spots, including the top two spots, the day after the songs' release.
Swift also reached the number one spot atop both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country radio charts, with Sparks Fly becoming her fourth consecutive number one single from her 5 million plus-selling "Speak Now" album, and her ninth chart topper.
The North American leg of the Speak Now tour wraps with sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 21-22. The tour was extended into 2012 with shows in Australia and New Zealand.

Taylor Swift took the county world by storm with her huge selling debut and its five hit singles. With a huge marketing push and myspace, Swift was on her way. Kind of like an Avril Lavigne for the teen female country set.
Sophomore slump? There's no indication of that. Swift once again writes her material - all 13 songs here with help sometimes from Liz Rose, Colbie Caillat and John Rich. Swift writes of what she knows about - relationships and teen love come and gone in songs speak to her fans. ...
