  • Album Sales: Taylor Swift and '1989' Border 4 Million Overall, 'Guardians of The Galaxy Awesome Mix' Continues Solid Sales

    Once again the actual album sales were a near clone to their cohort the Billboard 200 this week, with some subtle reorganizations going on. Taylor Swift was at the top with 1989 once again, selling 111,000 copies of her album. Just last week she had her first slot with less than 200,000 in sales for 2015's bestselling album and now it looks like she may drop below 100,000 next week. On the plus side, Swift is at 3.94 million total units moved for the album, meaning it will most likely reach quadruple-platinum in the next seven days.

    Bet you can't guess what performer finished on top of the Billboard 200 this week! Taylor Swift and 1989? Okay, maybe it wasn't that hard to figure out. Although the album saw a big drop in terms of equivalent album sales (down to 155,000, the first time at less than 200,000 for the set), it still managed to take its ninth week at no. 1 since debuting 11 weeks ago. Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj still factor high.

  • There's a Subreddit Dedicated to Taylor Swift's Armpits: Creator Explains Why the Thread Was Started

    Let's get this out of the way: There is a whole subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits. Yes, apparently there are people out there who are fascinated by the pop star's underarms. Pictures of the "1989" singer are posted throughout the thread, which was started by someone who deleted their profile, the A.V. Club notes.The subreddit popped up about a year ago, and its creator took to the comments section of a "Daily Dot" post to explain how the whole thing started. The sub was created after someone posted a picture of Swift in the plain, old /r/taylorswift forum and the creator commented on how nice her armpits looked. The creator was banned because "being a creep is not tolerated.""So I figured why not make a sub," the user wrote. "I am happy the sub has turned out the way it has, and enjoy that everyone finds it so strange my only hope is to one day see proof of Taylor herself acknowledging it's existence so that I can know that some nobody on a lark created something that indirectly allowed them to interact with Taylor Swift. I do like all the work she does and not just her armpits (although I still to this day maintain they are very nice)."The creator also is responsible for the /r/taylorswiftbum, but the armpit subreddit remains a popular site. There are more than 80 pictures posted and now the community is celebrating its recent publicity stint. Check out the thread /r/taylorswiftarmpit, if that is your thing.

  • Taylor Swift and '1989' Take Eighth Billboard 200 No. 1 Spot; Nicki Minaj Remains No. 2, 'Into The Woods' Soundtrack Gets Only Sales Increase

    It's still cold out there for new music releases after the first full week of album sales during 2015, so it's not surprise that Taylor Swift was still on top of the Billboard 200 when today's numbers came out. It's the eighth week of ten that 1989 has been available where the record ended up on top, which makes it her second most-decorated album yet (Fearless spent 13 nonconsecutive weeks at no. 1 during 2008-'09). It moved 244,000 equivalent albums last week.

  • Are These Three New Katy Perry Songs?

    All has been quiet on the Katy Perry music front lately, but it appears that something has been brewing in the "Dark Horse" singer's lab of late. As to be expected with any large pop star, there have been rumors and plenty of speculation from die-hard fans, but nothing concrete as of yet. That seems to have changed. According to the résumé of decorated mixer Serban Ghenea via "Popjustice," there are three new Katy Perry songs that he has worked on, titled "She's So Creepy," "In Flames" and "Heartache Crusade."Check out his résumé in the document here and skip to Page 4 of 23 to see the evidence. Ghenea has mixed for artists like Keith Urban, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Kesha, One Direction, Rihanna, Usher, Katy Perry and more. He has worked on just about every big pop star of the past 15 years in music.The song "She's So Creepy" could be throwing shade at Taylor Swift and would bring their public tiff to a new level from the occasional comment and social media jab into discographies. Katy Petty would be pulling a Taylor Swift by writing a song about an enemy. The irony.
