She's just not slowing down!

Taylor Swift officially has Billboard's longest charting album of this century with her self-titled debut country album.

Taylor Swift was first released in October 2006 and now in its 157th week in the Top 200 albums chart beating out previous record-holder Nickelback.

Nickelback?! Really?!

If Taylor Swift has done this well, we can't wait to see how Fearless ends up doing!

Congratulations, 'bb! You're a true talent!

      Funny how popular she got since her little diss a few months ago. GOOD 4 her.. :)



    2. 2

      She owes everything to Kanye West!



    3. 3

      My Perezcious does not really know anything about Nickelback. The Perezcious thinks it's something he gets back when he pays for an item costing $9.95 with a ten dollar bill.



    4. 4

      Did you mean to say "If Nickelback has done this well, we can't wait to see…" etc.?

      …Congratulations, 'bb! You're a true talent!…& I'm such a raging famewhore, that's why I didn't post the picture of you standing next to the kid with the swastika painted on his shirt (editors note: no matter how innocently the whole thing came about) because that was MY Mother Teresa party & I refuse to let anything I'm involved in have a ring of truth around it. But I promise to keep posting hateful images & stories on other people who, in my 11yr old schoolgirl mind, DESERVE IT.



    6. 6

      Yay! Love her!



    7. 7

      YAY FOR TAYLOR!!! #1 FAAAN TAYLOR SWIFT FTW



    8. 8

      They both suck. Why do we even give them any air time???

      Re: 6one9

      How stupid are you? Can you even read, her album has been on the charts for 157 WEEKS, that Kanye West thing wasn't long ago.



    10. 10

      perez, please post her picture with thenazi guy, so people can really see her true colours. fucking racist



    11. 11

      Re: uncle eldonRe: 6one9 – yes maybe taylor is more "famous" since the kanye situation. but taylor's album outsold kayne's album BEFORE the vmas. she had a sold out tour BEFORE the vmas. did you not realize 157 weeks=3 years.



    12. 12

      It sounds like a big achievment but this century only started 9 years ago… there hasn't even been a decade yet!



    13. 13

      Re: uncle eldon – she had a #1 album WAY before kanye.



    14. 14

      Re: 6one9 – you're an idiot.



    15. 15

      Re: WhenZombiesAttack – no, "taylor swift" is the name of her 1st album. "fearless" is the name of her 2nd



    16. 16

      Congrats to Taylor, I think pretty much every household owns a copy of Taylor Swift and Fearless!!

      But yes Perez, WHY SO BIASED?
      I'm kinda p'od at the situation as well, why would she take a photo with such a bastard??? I would've kicked him in the nuts (if he had any…).



    17. 17

      I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT! HER SONGS ARE STUPID, HER LYRICS ARE STUPID, AND HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD HER LIVE??? SHE SUCKS!!!



    18. 18

      sososososososososo proud.



    19. 19

      It's going to be great.



    20. 20

      Re: blacklily.of.the.valley – Would that there were a picture of Pumpkinhead in his toga swanning about & posing next to swastika boy. Hope you enjoyed Midnight Meat Train from the other evening - regards J.



    21. 21

      She truly has talent unlike that ass clown you love promoting - GaGa



    22. 22

      Am I the only person in America that thinks she has very little talent? She sings wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy offkey and her songs just suck.
      I have friends who think she is so cute too. Sorry. She looks like Kenny Chesney in drag…and he is fuguly…chipmonk cheeks and squinty eyes…you can have her and him!
      Her singing is very irratating to me…
      oh well…. you guys can continue the lovefest now…



    23. 23

      Re: SingingMySong20

      Yay. One person thinks like I do! LOL



    24. 24

      While nickelback isnt for everyone, all their songs mean something.
      taylor's songs are very cute.
      But why must you sound so derogatory towards nickelback? like they arent good? I actually congratulate NICKELBACK for having the record first



    25. 25

      Re: Cashmere Jay – A resounding NO to ANYMORE photos of Pumpkinhead (have you ever google imaged that shit, ugh) & YES to Midnight Meat Train. b.l. xo



    26. 26

      Re: SingingMySong20 – and then again here you are wasting your time on commenting on her!!!!!!!!!!!!11



    27. 27

      yes nickleback. They have actual talent, unlike oh say: SLIM-E, Semi-Precious WAY TO LONG FOR A FUCKING BAND NAME YOU PRETENTIOUS VAPID ASSHOLES Weapons, etc. And why is it that every loser talentless hack you produce has a semi-ironic name?



    28. 28

      go tay! thats awesome :)



    29. 29

      i love her, she´s awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

    30. CRS29 says – reply to this

      I don't get it at all. I know that I'm not alone because I have seen posts and know people like me. Taylor Swift cannot sing! I don't find her interesting at all. Sure she may be nice and I can see how she would appeal to the little girl demographic (her songs are so juvenile), in fact my 6 year old niece loves her. I love many different kinds of music but until Taylor Swift, I have never gotten up and turned the radio off when a certain song came on. Now it seems like she is being shoved down our throats everywhere you turn. I just don't get it. How can you compare her with the great artists of our time? "just sayin"



    31. 31

      OH-PLEASE Put a picture of her with a Nazi Guy–"HOW HOT"
      now dont write on the picture,She is really my GIRL NOW
      SO SEXXXYYYY-and such a NAUGHTY GIRL,



    32. 32

      Re: CRS29 – her songs arent all juvinille. yes the majority of the singles she puts out are her younger sounding songs but she does have more mature music and melodies. And she writes her own music all herself until 99percent of the radio artist of today and the past even Elvis rarely wrote his own music.



    33. 33

      Re: SingingMySong20 – I have heard her live and it was a great show. I think every one there had a good time. So SingingMySong20 what show did you go to? Did you see her live? And to JustSayin tell me where I can find the songs she is singing off key. 157 weeks, Go Taylor.



    34. 34

      i like taylor. but i dont think she can sing very good. but ya anyway congrats!



    35. 35

      Riding the same album for THREE fucking years??? Man, no wonder the record industry is dead…



    36. 36

      gawd this girl is so .. meh..

    37. barny says – reply to this


      37

      She is just an average singer who's songs all sound the same.Her fans are mostly kids who do not anything about talent.We will see hpw long her luck last.Besides this she is not very attractive.



    38. 38

      There's magic in that there botox, umkay



    39. 39

      Love her! Congratulations Taylor!



    40. 40

      Re: SingingMySong20

      I think she is amazing live. One of the best concerts I have seen.



    41. 41

      LeonaLewis made a good point, we've only been in this century for 9 years so, its not like a HUGE accomplishment. Someone or many artists will out-do her eventually. Right now she's the it thing, but it won't last. Out of any artist I've ever heard of Taylor has had the most promotion put behind her. She has to be everywhere all the time to sell. So, that's a clue she is't too good. Personally, I can't believe someone with such little amount of talent made it this far. She's a horrible song writer and especially singer. Feel free to hate on me for saying it. But she doesn't deserve any of the success. She can't sing.



    42. 42

      and that is one fugly picture. just saying…. you could have picked a way better one Perez. that dress is ridiculous and her legs like that far apart… just eww.



    43. 43

      Taylor Swift is amazing!



    44. 44

      As much as I love Taylor (and she was popular before Kanye, hence her getting the award in the first place) but the bestselling album of this century isn't as impressive as it sounds. Last I checked, we're only 9 years in.

      who cares about this bitch. shows what kind of company she is in. she should be licking kanye's balls as a thank you



    46. 46

      Love her. Miley sucks.



    47. 47

      wow i'm not a big fan, but congrats to her!



    48. 48

      To all the people who says she has no talent, what were you doing when you were 16 years old? Think about it, what were you doing? Did you write songs at 14 and 15 that would be on the charts for 157 weeks? You might not like her music and thats ok but to say she is not talented, just ask youself what did I do at 16.



    49. 49

      Talent and Taylor Swift should never be used in the same sentence in a positive way.

      For you haters “““` I never heard of Taylor much or saw her “` all over the websites like she is now “` before the dissss.. NOTICE… I said good for her….. B/C what Kanye did `sucked. “` So STFU already!! Taylor's making triple the $$$ now b/c of the extra 15 she got.



    51. 51

      YOUR RETARDED….THE LONGEST CHARTING ALBUM OF THE CENTURY IS PINK FLOYDS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON IT WAS ON FOR 741 WEEKS….



    52. 52

      Since 2006…Wow….I think people needed a rest from all those growling ass rappers…Don't get me wrong I am avid club goer and in the club hard beats, anthems and hooks are great but fudge..Time for more balance…As for Pink Floyd that ish was in another Era…I never liked it and still don't time for that record to be demolisheddddd haha



    53. 53

      Re: 6one9 – umm NO. she has been around more that "15". her album sold 600k copies in the first week when it came out last november. thats more sales than beyonce AND britney debuted with. her newest album has been in the top 20 of the album sales chart since november. her 1st album has been on the top 200 sales chart for 3 years!!! she sold waay more albums than kanye before the vmas. he didnt make her a superstar, because she already was one before the vmas.



    54. 54

      Re: 6one9 – btw
      "I never heard of Taylor much or saw her"…
      her songs have been on mtv, vh1, and most radio stastion often BEFORE the vmas.
      she was on talk shows and performed at the GRAMMYS, vmas, etc award shows BEFORE the vmas.
      her album sold millions of copies BEFORE the vmas.
      just because YOU never heard of her, that doesnt mean she wasnt hugeee before the kayne situation.



    55. 55

      Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard chart for 741 weeks…but that was LAST century.



    56. 56

      Re: jjjjjjjjjjjjj7 – and just to clarify-
      her newest album came out last november! so its been in the top 20 chart for nearly a year.



    57. 57

      um just to clarify further, 1973 was not 100 years ago



    58. 58

      perez hilton, taking titles away from deserving artists and giving them to his friends since…this stupid site was made. where do you get your "facts" anyways?
      Pink floyds dark side of the moon was on the billboard for 741 weeks… thats 14 YEARS, the longest IN HISTORY, in any catigory, and probably always will be! Then it came back on the charts again with the re-release in 1991, making it the 200th-best-selling album of '91—nearly three decades after its initial release. NOW THATS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. nickleback can suck it.



    59. 59

      yeah considering she holds the title in "this century" which we are currently in, started in 2001, thats not really a big deal because thats only almost 9 years, which is not even as long as pink floyds album was on the charts for! and it hasnt been a century since 73 so…doesnt really count if you ask me! sounds kinda nice though, but really it means nothing!



    60. 60

      what perez mean in "If Taylor Swift has done this well, we can't wait to see how Fearless ends up doing!" her first album self titled Taylor Swift released back in 2006 has been on the charts for over 157 weeks now.i am sooo proud of Tay i remember buying the album in early 2007 & no one knew who she was she worked hard for this success so enjoy it Tay Tay



    61. 61

      ewww another overrated bitch just like rihanna



    62. 62

      eww she looks ugly in the pic. look at her face.
