Taylor Swift's New Album a Chart Topper

The album debuts to great success!

Taylor Swift's second album, Fearless, debuted at the top of a major music chart Wednesday -- and the country crooner broke a record in the process!

Fearless debuted in the No. 1 slot atop Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart, with over half a million copies sold in its first week in stores. That marks the largest opening U.S. sales week in 2008 by a female artist in all genres of music, and also goes down as the year's fourth biggest opening sales week overall, trailing only new releases from Lil Wayne, AC/DC and Coldplay.

Plus, when her Fearless track "White Horse" debuts at No. 13 on Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 singles chart this week, Taylor will break the record for most Top 20 debuts in a year with six total!
