Thought this was worthy of a new thread as some here always want to discredit Taylor (and me) but saying she has only sold about 20M. :yawn:

From her official website.

http://taylorswift.com/news/111721

RED, released on Big Machine Records, has topped the sales charts in 42 countries worldwide, with international sales topping 920,000 albums thus far. Taylor now has worldwide career record sales in excess of 26 million albums and 75 million song downloads.

Well done Taylor....

I like 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' and at times 'Love Story'. Other than that she's not for me but either way well done to her for the sales.

Well done to her!

Just want to point out though - Matt Cardle's label claimed he has sold almost 4 million....which, if you do the maths, you can see is not the case.

Same she had to sell out to get this achievement!

They dont, its more to the fact that a few disputed how many albums taylor had sold, so this is official confimation of that figure.
Taylor said a long time ago she was excitied that her total albums sales were approaching 24M, I posted it here and some here called that bull (calling me and of course TS and her record company liars)as according to the websites they visit she only has 20M sales.
But more of a bigger point is that she is doing 13 stadiums in the US with more to come, did madonna ever do that in the US on one tour?

Album sales don't matter? What a load of crap on so many levels.

These are amazing sales in this day and age especially when she doesn't have the worldwide appeal some artists have yet are selling nowhere near this level. Add to that her astonishing single downloads sales + concert tickets then she really is up there in that select few 'elite' artists.

Proud of Taylor and all she has achieved!

It's strange to think that if her worldwide sales were as big as her sales in the US each of her albums could potentially be as big as one of the Spice Girls first two releases.

But seriously, she suits country far better.

so you lied about the big machine statement saying 25 million albums were sold which you claimed was released at christmas time last year and that puts her total before red was released at around 23 million - thank you for admitting you were lying its only taken you 8 months

heres a link to a thread in which you consistently lied about taylor swifts album sales

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...r+swift&page=8

heres one of your statements from that thread from the middle of july
"Official fgures were approaching 24 milion and that was back at xmas"

so considering red has sold 2.8 million and her total sales now according to big machine are around 26 million, that means according to you she has sold no albums since last christmas and has somehow mysteriously lost around a million sales since than you have been caught out lying

tayor stated her sales were approaching 24M which was passed down from her record company, which adding in sales of red 2.8M plus sales in the meantime bring it around about the figure she is on now which could easily be close to 27M.

But I would give up trying to dig anymore, bow out gracefully on this subject, but remember in the future when I post dont go around calling me, taylor or her record company liars, as you now know what I post is facts as I always do and I only post sales figures when stated by taylor or her mouthpieces, I dont go on cowboy websites chasing sales figures that are ficticious
It was only a mater of time before some offical confirmation was released on her actual sales and it was only a matter of time before your claims of her selling only 20M would be exposed as just simply "made up"

you havent provided any facts and have been caught out lying, you claimed 24 million sales before christmas last year and have been caught out lying, you are the one that needs to admit your figures were wrong last year, as she has only hit 26 million now, your 50 million total album sales at the end of reds run looks totally stupid now, doesn't it

Bow our gracefully, thats my advice otherwise others here will think it just sour grapes. You should see my PM's about it, everyone knew I was always right
And you always knew I was right as the figures had come from taylor herself. You just hoped the proof was never gonna come to light, but thanks to taylors official website now you cant come out with your 20M claims anymore.

So now we have a starting point so in the future you wont get caught out fabricating figures anymore for the biggest female artist on the planet.

I agree, we SHOULD see these PMs. You say this stuff quite a lot when you get caught out.

PM's are just that Private messages, not for public display.

Thing is some people prefer not to feed the trolls so praise in a PM rarther then generate big arguments on a taylor thread. And BTW a few were adele stans as well!

The thing is when it comes to taylor I know my stuff and the fact it had come from taylors own mouth I always new it was right. But unlike your fave albums sales are not that important so its not important to me. This thread was set up not to champion taylors sales, (which are of course are amazing considering she is a country artist) but to put to bed the constant garbage being posted about (the biggest female artist on the planets) album sales.

One thing this has taught many is not to take notice of those unoffical websites stating sales figures as they normally are wrong. In the same way I dont believe adeles sales until its from an official source, not some random website.

Thats enough on all this, we now have the proof so there is no more to say and continuing with these sort of discussions start attracting the usual suspects who will bring the thread down.
Roll on taylors 50M celebrations sometime later this decade.

I don't see or think she's sold out, she's just done something different. Why not? Acts that keep churning out the same sort of stuff get attacked for not doing something different. I like Red, I think it's a good album, call it country or pop (I don't care) it's a good album, that's all that matters.

Its an album that grows on you, if you take away the 3 crap songs and a couple of other pop oriented tunes its a darn good album. Certainly the best from a female artist since speak now hit the charts.
Just cant wait to see this all go down live, its gonna be interesting what songs she drops from the set to introduce the new songs. I think she should do what one of her heroes does (bruce springsteen) and play 3 hour+ gigs so she dont leave out any material I mean she did close on 2.5 hours on the US leg of her last tour so whats another hour on stage

Honey I think you should take your own advice. This Taylor stanning was kinda cute at first but its becoming embarrassing hun..like Heather Dubrow said 'When everyone says your dead, it's time to lie down'. Not being mean or having ago either before you go on the defence.

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy she sold out. I prefer her music now, compared to the utter tripe she used to release!

I think it is a good album. It's just funny that she had to sell out to produce a good album. I would have much more respect for her if she had stuck to her country roots - i may not have liked the music, but i would have respect for her as an artist.

Her new album is good. Just a sell out. Thats all.

Its not a sell out, she has just sold out a few songs to generate some single sales and try to appeal to the chart pop market. The album is full of classic, country cum rock tracks and awsume ballads.
I dont agree with what she has done and the very small return she appears to have gained doing it hopefully will mean she will go back to her old style completly.
I would hate to see her classified in the same group as Rhianna, gaga and co, that would be a big fail for her credability as a songwriter.

So you didn't really get any PMs, did you? And here's another thing you always say when you know you've lost the argument:

Well...if you take away the crap songs of any album, it will be good. It still has absolutely horrendous songs on it. Emeli Sande, Leona Lewis, Adele, Lana Del Rey and Florence and The Machine all have released albums after Speak Now which are far superior. With those albums, you don't have to take out the "crap" songs to make it good.
