Taylor's Catalog Albums on the US Charts
In the old TC, I had a thread dedicated to the outstanding US chart performance of Taylor's debut album - TS-2006.
Since Taylor is the only solo artist in US history to place her first two studio albums in the # 1 US sales position for their release year, and Fearless is now on the US Catalog chart along with TS-2006, we'll dedicate this thread to all of Taylor's albums charting on Catalog.

Since the 1997 SoundScan rule change, Taylor Swift (2006) at 176 weeks is the longest continuously charting album on the Billboard Current chart beating Shania Twain's 152 weeks and Nickelback's 156 weeks, and Taylor Swift (2006) at 230 continuous weeks is the longest continuously charting album on the Billboard 200 chart....so, those records will be difficult to beat!

RE: Taylor's Catalog Albums on the US Charts
hi. just testing my signature.......
In the off topic section there is an entire thread just for testing your signature. You can try it again there. If you don't know how, it is best to put the picture somewhere (like tinypic.com) and then try to put it in your signature. That is what I did for mine :)

RE: Taylor's Catalog Albums on the US Charts
The top 40 in US sales on the Billboard Catalog chart in the first 3 months of 2012 are all legendary or major players in the US music industry...
....so, who has more than one album on this list? Whitney Houston, Eminem, Pink Floyd, and Taylor Swift!
....as I mentioned last year, Taylor Swift (2006) has incredibly strong sales for a 5 1/2 year old album.....and could potentially start outselling Taylor's legendary Fearless album....
