EXCLUSIVE: B.O.B COLLABORATES WITH TAYLOR SWIFT ON NEW ALBUM B.o.B has a big surprise in store on his upcoming album. The hip-hop superstar has landed America’s sweetheart Taylor Swift for a super-sized collaboration. Rap-Up.com has learned that the two have joined forces on a Dr. Luke-produced record set to appear on B.o.B’s sophomore album Strange Clouds, due May 1. When pressed for details, the Atlanta MC remained tight-lipped. “I can’t discredit nor confirm the rumor,” he coyly responded, adding, “Once it’s began, it’s begun and it will take its course.” B.o.B first met the country crooner when she invited him to perform “Airplanes” with her last fall. “She actually got my number from Hayley [Williams of Paramore] and she hit me up and was like, ‘Hey Bob, I know this is kind of random, but it’s Taylor Swift,’” he said. “So I’m like, ‘What?’ ‘Yeah, I’m coming out to Atlanta and I hear you’re gonna be in Atlanta and I wanna bring you out.’” While he reluctantly had to turn down the initial offer due a previously booked gig, they ended up rescheduling for a later date in Dallas. “We did it and it was great. She’s got die-hard fans. And she’s really connected to her audience. So to be able to come out and feel that excitement and know that her fans appreciate my music as well was definitely surprising.” Since sharing the stage at Cowboys Stadium, the two have struck up a friendship. “She’s America’s sweetheart, a real genuine person,” he shared. Swift, who brought out Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, T.I., and Usher at other shows during her “Speak Now” tour, knows her hip-hop. “She’s up on her game,” said Bobby Ray. “She knows what to listen to. She’s got good taste in hip-hop music.” In addition to Swift, Strange Clouds will include contributions from Lil Wayne, André 3000, T.I., Jim Jonsin, Polow Da Don, and more. www.rap-up.com/2012/02/28/exclusive-bob-collaborates-with-taylor-swift-on-new-album/This is beyond awesome! I can't wait for it! :o

Currently my big collaboration hope is Nicki Minaj. They sounded great together on Super Bass, and Starships has shown even more how well Nicki can do pop radio candy.

Hmm, B.o.B? He's alright I guess, but if it's a single it would be a really great way to keep her profile up with Pop audiences. Could also be her first Hot 100 #1, especially with the combination of her and B.o.B.'s digital fan bases.

I'm still pr3ssed "Mine" leaked 2 weeks early. That was an easy #1.
This should do fairly well, especially since Dr Luke took care of the production.

I still think her next lead single will hit #1, if they can manage to keep it from leaking and release it to iTunes for a full week of sales.

I'm trying to imagine Taylor Swift on a Dr. Luke track.. I can't.
But I have faith that she wouldn't do something unless it's good.

She's a designer's dream. Super tall, skinny and beautiful. I'm loving all her photoshoots lately and I'm honestly loving her hair. I'm so glad she's kept it.

Her sales are so consistent and she has such great longevity. I'm expecting her sales to look like this by end of 2013.
Taylor Swift (6 million) Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (1.5 million) Fearless (7 million) Speak Now (5 million) Speak Now Live (1 million) *New Album (3 million)

Her sales are so consistent and she has such great longevity. I'm expecting her sales to look like this by end of 2013. Taylor Swift (6 million) Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (1.5 million) Fearless (7 million) Speak Now (5 million) Speak Now Live (1 million) *New Album (3 million) I don't think her debut album will be that high by the end of 2013. It would need to sell over 8,000 copies a week for the next two years which just isn't likely at all. I think 5.4-5.5m is more realistic. I do think Fearless has a good shot at making it to 7m sometime in 2014 perhaps, but it would need to average over 5,000 copies per week to get there by the end of 2013. Speak Now is a bit harder to predict because I'm not sure how many more 10,000+ weeks it has left in it, though I do expect it to remain a strong catalog seller like her first two. The Speak Now Live album will be lucky to hit 500k at this point, considering it's basically left the charts now (got a small Grammy boost, but should fall of the B200 again this week). My prediction for the end of 2013 looks like this: Taylor Swift (5.4-.5.5 million) Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (1.3-1.4 million) Fearless (6.8-6.9 million) Speak Now (4.5-4.6 million) Speak Now Live (0.4-0.5 million) *New Album (3-5 million) I gave the new album a minimum of 3 million, but you never know, with a smash crossover hit or re-release, I see 5 million as a very distinct possibility. But there's just no way of being able to predict an accurate number at this point.

Taylor Swift's Speak Now topped the 4 million mark in U.S. sales last week. This week it advances to 4,015,000. All three of Swift's regular studio albums have reached this plateau. Taylor Swift has sold 5,170,000 copies. Fearless has sold 6,507,000. Swift is the first female solo artist to top the 4 million mark with three studio albums in a row in a decade. Britney Spears did it with her first three albums, which were released from 1999 to 2001. Shania Twain did it with three albums in a row released between 1995 and 2002.

The Lorax grossed over $70 million this weekend! Still wondering when I'll get to borrow my niece and nephew so I'll have an excuse to see it...
"Love Story" in Perth:
Her show in Adelaide last night was the 100th show of the Speak Now tour. I'm so glad she has such a big and loyal fan base in Australia/New Zealand, I hope she keeps fostering that relationship in the future.

That was a great performance. And the song seems to have stabilized around 40-50 on iTunes, which I think it pretty fantastic for no radio play and no promotion other than the video (which doesn't even seem to be garnering that many views).
I'm really excited about "Eyes Open", it'll probably leak within the next week seeing as the album will be released on the 16th in Ireland.
