NASHVILLE, TN-Taylor Swift, who sold more albums last year than any other artist, is making a significant impact on the global music scene, earning Gold and Platinum sales certifications in fourteen countries spanning five continents.
Her "Fearless" album, rapidly approaching quadruple-platinum in the US, has earned the following international sales awards:
Platinum
Australia (Triple Platinum)
Canada (Triple Platinum)
Singapore
New Zealand
Ireland
Indonesia
Malaysia
Taiwan
Gold
United Kingdom (Gold X2)
Norway
South Africa
Hong Kong
Philippines
"Fearless" has spent 11 weeks so far in the #1 position atop Billboard's all-genre Top 200 Sales chart, and 21 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. Taylor's self-titled debut CD, released on Big Machine Records in 2006, was certified Quadruple-Platinum this week. Taylor has sold more albums than any artist in the world so far this year, and her paid music downloads now exceed 19.5 million songs.
"Fearless" has reached the Top 5 on the sales charts in 13 countries, and Taylor's #1 single "Love Story" has become a global sensation, topping airplay charts worldwide, in countries including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This week Taylor is celebrating her 4th consecutive #1 single in the US, and her fifth #1 out of her last six singles released.
Tickets to shows on the Taylor Swift Fearless 2009 Tour remain the hottest on the market, with capacity crowds packing arenas around the globe. Taylor travels to the UK this week for sold out shows at V Fest at Highlands Park and V Fest at Weston Park. These performances mark her first return trip to the UK since her series of sold out shows there in May. Taylor will make another trip to the UK later this year for a November 23rd headlining date at London's Wembley Arena. Earlier this year, Taylor headlined a short series of shows in Australia, all of which sold out.
Taylor now has more than a million followers on her Twitter account, and this week surpassed the 250 million mark for music streams on her MySpace page.
Upon her return from the UK, Taylor resumes her US tour with a headlining show at Madison Square Garden. Tickets for the show sold out in one minute.

This is NT...the reason why most of us found this board is because our favorite athletes rock nikes, our favorite rappers are shoe heads, basically our culture is a part of Nike.
There are no Nike Cowboy Boots. There are no Country music stars shouting out NT like rappers do, so don't look down on NT members who aint familiar wit Taylor Swift n dis corny country music bs
Ya'll weren't reppin Taylor Swift or country music a couple months back, but all of a sudden Crank n all u riders r reppin hardbody after the 'Ye
incident.. Tell me that aint no coincidenceHow lame do you guys sound right now though? really? do you have any idea how GLOBAL nike is and your pertaining it to a single genre a music? yes, nike sub sneakers(jordans, airmaxes) have a heavy influence in hip hop culture, but to catorgorize Nike only with exclusively to the hip hop genre is PURE IGNORANCEOriginally Posted by B Smooth 202
at people in here defending country music
me riding her after the Ye incident, REALLY? The only reason Im in here is because niketalk is actually TALKING about her, how many times have I made appreciations threads? a lady gaga the fame thread before her album came out, a MIA appreciation thread before paper planes, a pearljam/nirvana/grunge thread, AND GOT ZERO REPLIES????? I realized niketalk isnt the place to discuss other types music unless its drake and wale, and Im cool with that
CASE AND POINT = Kanye did infact expose Swift to other communities, and did help her push a couple of thousands of records
which is chump change really, because she was already multi platnium and selling out stadiums in 2 minutes

No it isn't. BUT teeny bopper music is! There is a reason she sells out shows over in London... I would say they are pretty close in global popularity... Just my opinion though... Not sure how you would define it...? Global ticket sales? Global album sales? Poster and backpacks?jokes

Folks, she didn't need any help selling records.
So much hate in this thread. If Audrey Hepburn were alive today some of you would look for ways to tear her down. Swift is beautiful, makes great music and is entirely likable with a good head on her shoulders. I mean this is the girl that wrote a song about how great her parents raised her. Why would anyone not want someone like her to do well?
