Agreed but she doesn't seem that interested in the huge soleless arenas.

To be honest with you, I don't really care about the US muic scene as I am in Britain. That's not saying I don't like American music, just that how popular it is in America means nothing to me.

Smaller gigs always seem better to me anyway. Seen a few arena shows, but if I had the choice, would always go for smaller vanues.

Yes, something that wasn't exactly made clear by the OP. I suspect a Worldwide earnings list would look substantially different. A far more honest title would have read:

Taylor Swift Tops Billboard Music's Top 40 US Money Makers

Without a doubt agree with that comment, going to see the brilliant Felice Brothers tomorrow night in a big pub in London. Only £15 as opposed to say £55- £75 to see somebody in a football ground..............no contest,

That's a load of nonsense.

Yay, well she is the best. Prooves that writing all your songs, playing instruments & having an amazing tour is well rewarded

lol at all the jealous stans. Every year Taylor makes tonnes of money & is always really successful, deal with it

I feel rather sorry for fans who gloat about the amount of money their favourite artist makes.

Surely music should be about more than money, or is is just another example of the corporate world we now appear to live in, where greed and bank balance rule??

who cares? she is still crap and you will find no-one is jealous on this thread apart from geordielady - she cant resist claiming the worlds fifth largest music market is unimportant because taylor swift is fairly relatively unsuccesful here

Obviously many care, as she toured for 1m+. Also saying shes crap is your opinion, I personally think Adele is crap & has a bad voice, Taylors is better.

The jealous stans have the description of ..... you. You seem to enter every Taylor thread bringing negativity, you must be getting bored of the artists you like & feel the need to mention someone interesting like Taylor. The artists you like are obviously missing something Taylor has. Also, you always feel the need to attack Geordielady all the time..

Taylor doesn't market over here, as she has bigger goals than England, but still her tours do well here, Saying shes relatively unsuccessful here is stupid

Whenever a taylor thread comes up you can be assured that all the jealous adele stans will be posting in it, its the same old names every time. I mean just compare the two artists if you was a fan of adele would you be jealous of Taylor, I sure would

******

Interesting results when you search the name "Adele" that the username "Geordielady" has posted :

6 pages of results.
25 threads per page 25x5 = 125
Page 6 has 6 threads 125 + 6 = 131 different threads where you have mentioned Adele.

Then, just out of curiosity I thought I'd do posts

20 pages of results.
25 posts per page 25x20 = 500
Page 6 has 13 posts 500 + 13 = 513 posts where you mention Adele. It's probably more but you can only search back up to 20 pages.

So don't bother posting that Adele stans will pop up in every Taylor thread because your own posting history shows you pop up in most Adele threads, which happens to include the Adele appreciation thread.

Never before have I seen such hypocrisy!!!!!

This from the person who can hardly post on any music subject without mentioning Adele.

Geordielady - you seriously need a word with yourself.

Pleased you have been kept busy checking up on my posts, I am honoured, as you love computing my posts then here is a task for you, try to find the last time I posted in the adele sales appreciation thread.

Let's not forget the thread that GL created about Adele on 2/3/2011, lol. Will surely go down in DS folklore...

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...ighlight=adele

Couldn't tell you. I had 5 minutes to spare and it takes all of 2 to check posts. Also nice way to ignore the fact you're a hypocrite.

Lmao, Geordielady you have stalkerfans on this forum, they're obsessed with you.

Just call me a legend , I love the way some of them follow me around in other threads, not even related to music. just to try to argue with me but its only the fans of one particular artist, funny erh

Er no..., you accused me of posting in the adele sales thread so you have obviously looked back through my history of over a year ago as that would have been around the last time I posted there

Anyway yet another taylor appreciation thread attempted to be hijacked by very jealous adele stans

oh yes thats right, according to geordielady every american artist only wants to sell in south america now, despite they all come to the uk, tour here and we have the 3rd biggest music market in the world. But because Taylor doesnt sell here AT ALL GL thinks gaga etc are all rushing to that huge market of peru and bolivia lol just one of the many, many pearls of wisdom she comes up with to make out Taylor is the second coming.

The place most US artsits want to do well in outside the USA is now Asia, but south america is another big part of the world that many artists are looking to get a serious foothold in.
We may not like it but the UK is now down the pecking order in terms of importance.

No matter how much you keep banging on about it you are simply lying. Where is your proof? Europe is by far a bigger music market than south america and asia put together, and the uk is a big part of that

Yet another thread completely derailed. I've got geordielady on ignore as reading the blu-ray budget thread was a complete joke with more facts but never proper sources, just opinion and "people she knows". But from the quotes it seems she's still posting about Adele and how Taylor is the best thing in the world. Never changes, just rinse and repeat.

On topic, Taylor obviously works hard to get the money she has and has the fans to attend her gigs e.t.c. so being number one was always going to be a high possibility. Her albums have a couple of decent songs on them and my little Daughter still plays love story sometimes, it does start to grow on you. I'm really surprised at some on that list, but I suppose it's only the US figures, would be interesting to see what worldwide figures stood at and who entered and dropped out of the list.
