Taylor Swift's 'Fearless' Tops the charts

With the lead-off single hitting the top of the country charts this week, Taylor Swift's sophomore release placed 1st on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart with nearly 600,000 copies sold.  Will this help the plethora of other new country music releases?

Giving the country music industry the shot it needed in the 4th quarter, Taylor Swift's sophomore release "Fearless" is moved nearly 600,000 units, which was more than enough for her to top the Hot 200 all genre album chart along with the Hot Country Albums chart. In addition to Taylor's sales, country music saw an uptick in sales for all artists performing on the CMA Awards Telecast Wednesday, November 12.  The country music industry certainly hopes that the sales trends will continue to help bring the genre out of its economic slump, a slump that's larger than the rest of the music genres.
