Pre-congratulations to Taylor Swift for hitting the 1 million mark in 2015 next week  

[Bloody 64,631]

Taylor's slayage is beyond real.  

[Radio Ga Ga 5,671]

Where's Cheek 2 Cheek?

[Spock 20,290]

What kind of tsunami style slayage Taylor
Best selling album of the year two years in a row most probably

[Mills 446]

Where's Cheek 2 Cheek?

​68,000 units sold this year as of the week ending March 29, 2015. It's been out of the charts for weeks now, hence its weekly sales are no longer provided publicly. 

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

I'm still surprised there is anyone left for Taylor to sell too. I keep thinking, "are people buying multiple copies, breaking them, and then buying three more?". Damn. Admire that hustle. 

She's got to be richer than Croesus!

FALL OUT BOY SLAY ME
