I was one of the biggest Taylor Swift naysayers but the new songs from the second album have won over, this girl is really talented, vocally improving but her songwriting I just love, especially "Fearless." I also hope "Love Story" can go number one, but I'm not a fan of the POP MIX or whatever they are calling it, the other day I heard the POP MIX of "Our Song" and felt a bit of disappointment because I always thought that the original music was what made it so charming.
Either way GO TAYLOR!!!!

This will be #1 this week. It has a bigger bullet than Chickenfried and more audience and is still #1 on the Real Time Tracker. Congrats Taylor!

Does anyone have the price comparisons for when Fearless comes out on Tuesday or if any certain stores offer a special edition? :)

But PTB was classified as a "Rock Mix" on the promo cd's, and was the only one that was actually better than the original IMO.

Not surprised that this got a big push this week, considering the album is out tomorrow. Good for Taylor though, it's great to see female artists hitting #1. I wonder if she'll stay for a second week....my guess is that they'll announce a second single by the weekend, and Zac Brown will move into #1.
I don't think 500K is that outrageous of a prediction. My guess would be about 400K, but I could see anywhere up to 600K happening.

I don't think they'll announce the next single for another 2-3 weeks. "Love Story" is only 9 weeks old, and I see it staying at #1 for at least one more week.

This album is stellar. It's much more pop-influenced than her debut, but she churns out 13 songs that would all do well on country radio.
Personally, I think "Fearless", "You're Not Sorry", 'The Way I Loved You" and "You Belong With Me" should be the singles released after "Love Story" and probably in that order.
"The Way I Loved You" is my favorite song on the disc and it is a bonafide smash hit. It's catchy and touches upon an angle not as predictable as some of the other songs on the disc. There is also something about "Hey Stephen" that makes me keep listening to it, but I don't yet know what it is.
Overall, I am very impressed. I think most of the songs are better than "Love Story", and I like that song quite a bit.

I think White Horse should be released as well. Maybe even as the next single.

I read that "White Horse" is the next single. It would be a smart choice, but really, anything could be released. The entire album is single-worthy.

I won't post all of my thoughts of this album (the bulk of which aren't positive), but I think there were a few standout tracks. Taylor's voice seems to work best on the ballads, so for me, White Horse seemed to be album's standout. Her ability to be objective and honest on the song leaves a sense of maturity that gives me hope that she'll fulfill her potential some day. Hey Stephen was pretty good too (although I couldn't find even the slightest country element to it). It was ridiculously catchy and didn't need a big booming chorus to do the trick. Fearless will undoubtedly be a single, probably the next single, and while I like it, I thought the over-production really held it back. You Belong With Me would also make a great pop single, I just hope they don't release it to country radio. Overall, I miss the innocence of her first album. This album, while refreshingly honest, seems to have lost the innocence that made her first album so endearing. Without innocence or maturity, this is basically just a teen pop album, and while it's a darn good teen pop album, I for one was looking for a more intimate look at Taylor the artist, not just Taylor the love protagonist.

If you have not got the album yet, Amazon.com has it for download for only $3.99! Now that's a deal.

Is this gonna be #1 on Billboard? I really hope. That'd be sweet if this and the album were both #1 at the same time!

Good! I hope that White Horse is the next single. My dream singles would be:
1) Love Story 2) White Horse 3) Fearless 4) You're Not Sorry/Breathe
