Taylor Swift rocks the charts

The blonde, blue-eyed country singing beauty has done it again.

Taylor Swift’s new “Speak Now” album has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and has sold more than a million copies since its Oct. 25 release.

Ten ‘Speak Now’ songs have already made the Billboard Hot 100 list, led by “Sparks Fly” at No. 17. Including the early release of ‘Mine’, Swift has a total of 11 titles on the list, ranking the most ever by a female artist.

At age 20 this young, talented artist has already released three studio albums over the course of her four year career. Even more impressive is the fact that all of her lyrics are self-written and her new album she co-produced alongside Nathan Chaman.

Her songs about loves, hopes and dreams are mildly addicting — sorry Kanye we can’t help it! Hopeless romantics everywhere just can’t seem to get enough, and who’s to blame them.  Even Jake Gyllenhaal can’t help himself.

After releasing one of the best country albums this year, Swift moves on to bigger and arguably better things.

In 2011 the four-time Grammy winner will set off for her Speak Now World Tour, which includes 85 shows in 18 countries.

Check out “Speak Now,” now available on iTunes.
