Speak Now

Even for one of the biggest stars in the music business, Taylor Swift is having a heck of a year, including a sold-out tour with a series of celebrity guests and a pair of new Guinness World Records. But as Taylor discovered last weekend, in a surprise ceremony hosted by her label, she isn’t finished collecting accolades in 2011.

Taylor Swift's new album, Speak Now, has shattered numerous records after more than one million copies were sold in the first week of its release. According to label reps, Speak Now sold 1,046,718 copies in its first week, handing Swift the biggest single-week sales total since 2005, and landing her in a group of elite female singers.
