Way to go, T! Taylor Swift takes the top spot in the music world. Not only does Swift have the fastest selling album of the year with "1989", but she now officially holds the top spot for Billboard's Artist Top 100 for ten weeks in a row. The magazine reports that because of this, the 25-year-old country-turned-pop singer has achieved in breaking a major record.
Taylor Swift is staying on top of the "Billboard Artist 100" chart this week. This is a record-extending 10th week at number one for Swift while singer-rapper Nicki Minaj soars 12-2 whiched was pushed by sales for her new album.
Furthermore, the magazine company also says that Swift has practically two to one lead in points over rapper Nicki Minaj, even though the latter falling by 6% and Swift soaring by 192%. The "Blank Space" singer's rank is heavily influenced by her "1989" album that was only released just two months ago. This week, the said album climbs back to the top spot on the album charts. In the past week, Swift sold a whopping 375,000 extra units of her album.
Even her single, "Blank Space" can be seen sitting at the top of the charts of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and "Music Times" was one of the first to review and predict the single's success.
"Like the lead single 'Shake It Off,' 'Blank Space' was co-written by pop writers extraordinaire Max Martin and Shellback. The mid-tempo jam features an earhook-y work and catchy melody for days, with theatric rises and falls in Swift's speak-singing voice...Swift plays fun about her past dating game, warning her future lover that she can 'be that girl for a month' but he shouldn't be scared of her."
To celebrate her achievement, Swift will be going on a "1989" World Tour in 2015. She is possibly the only female musician who is capable of booking stadiums, besides Madonna. Some of the places that she will be performing at are the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with most of her concert dates having been sold out.
