Best Buy only sold 35,000? That's surprising.
Just curious, but do record stores even sell Taylor Swift albums?

Yeah, why is Best Buy so low? And what accounts for the other 100,000?

Hot 100 #17 Sparks Fly #21 Mine #27 Innocent #41 The Story Of Us #54 Dear John #56 Better Than Revenge #63 Haunted #71 Last Kiss #75 Enchanted #84 Never Grow Up #85 Long Live Hot Digital Songs #8 Sparks Fly #12 Innocent #18 The Story Of Us #18 Dear John #25 Better Than Revenge #38 Haunted #42 Last Kiss #44 Enchanted #51 Never Grow Up #54 Long Live There seems to be some weird rule that prevents Speak Now, Back To December, Mine, and Mean's sales from counting --------------- Taylor Swift: In addition to her impressive start at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with "Speak Now," Swift debuts 10 tracks from that album onto the Hot 100, led by "Sparks Fly" at No. 17. With her "Mine" falling 13-21, the singer has a total of 11 titles on the list, the most ever by a female artist. Only the Beatles (one week with 14 and two weeks with 12 in April 1964) have placed more songs simultaneously. David Cook also tallied 11 titles (all debuts) on the June 7, 2008, chart, following his "American Idol" coronation.
Counting "Speak Now's" three charting early-release digital singles ("Speak Now," "Back to December" and "Mean"), every track from the 14-song standard edition of "Speak Now" has appeared on the Hot 100.
Meanwhile, "Mean," which debuted at No. 11 last week with 163,000 downloads, falls off the chart, a victim of iTunes' Complete My Album scheme. The early-release singles from "Speak Now" are counted as returns when consumers opt to upgrade to a full album purchase. So it's normal to see such songs drop like a rock during the album's release week, as customers exchange their tracks for an album."[/b]

So in reality she only sold 940K. That's still amazing though.

LOL If that's what happened, it wouldn't be a bad strategy! She'll move those albums eventually. And it would be worth it to break a record.

Taylor set another record. Mean debuted on #11 last week and falls off the chart this week. it's the highest-charting song to fall completely off the Hot 100 in one week.

Only because of the complete my album feature which counts as returns, or negative sales. Mean was still in the top 100 on iTunes.
And the other 100k was obviously not her label, but other smaller retailers.

Best Buy only sold 35,000? That's surprising. Just curious, but do record stores even sell Taylor Swift albums? Best Buy is a very small retailer for music nowadays. A lot of locations have gotten rid of most of their CD space. It was only until like early this year my Best Buy finally did that. Almost every Best Buy in the US has cut their CDs by like 50+% Record stores do sell her albums. Yeah, why is Best Buy so low? And what accounts for the other 100,000? The other 100,000 is obviously from other stores. Kmart, Meijer, local record shops, FYE, etc.

Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 340-360k
So around a ~65% drop as expected. Solid. 'Fearless' also dropped 65% it's second week.

And the other 100k was obviously not her label, but other smaller retailers. That doesn't seem right to me So they keep track of who bought Mean and who decided to complete the album? So if 100,000 people bought Mean and 80,000 of those decided to complete the album, it's sales would be initially -80,000? And then that week 60,000 new people decided to buy Mean, they would say -80,000 +60,000 = -20,000. So according to them, Mean sold less than 0 And how did that apply to Mine also? Cause Mine wasn't charting on Hot Digital Songs wither and dropped on The Hot 100. So basically it's only charting on The Hot 100 this week because of airplay? Cause usually, when an album comes out the lead single is supposed to have a nice boost, and that didn't happen here
