By Paul Grein | Chart Watch

Taylor Swift's Red holds at #2 for the second week in its fifth week on the chart. In addition, the album tops the 2 million mark in sales this week. It's the first album to sell 2 million copies in as few as five weeks since Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream sold 2 million in just four weeks in late 2009. This is the fastest that a Swift album has reached the 2 million mark. Her 2010 album Speak Now took six weeks. Her 2008 album Fearless took seven. Her 2006 debut album Taylor Swift took a not-so-swift 61 weeks.

Swift also tops the 20 million mark in overall album sales this week. Among female country artists, she's in fourth place behind:

1. Shania Twain (34,244,000),
2. Reba McEntire (30,102,000)
3. LeAnn Rimes (20,493,000).
4. Swift just this week pulls ahead of
5. Faith Hill, who is in fifth place with 20,105,000.

Note: McEntire sold millions more albums between October 1977, when her first album came out, and 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard.
