American
country
pop
singer
Taylor
Swift
has
got
a
grand
start
in
the
New
Year
as
she
has
been
able
to
retain
the
top
position
on
Billboard
Hot
200
on
the
first
week
of
the
year.
There
were
a
number
of
releases
during
the
holiday"s
season
but
the
New
Year
started
with
no
new
releases
and
this
came
as
an
advantage
for
Swift.
Her
country
music
album
titled
'Speak
Now" has
sold
yet
another
77,000
copies
in
this
week,
which
is
facing
slow
sales.
This
is
a
72%
drop
from
the
Christmas
season
sale
but
still
it
rules
the
top
position.
Other
popular
albums
like
Susan
Boyle"s
'The
Gift",
Christmas
compilation
of
'Glee"
and
Jackie
Evancho"s
'O
Holy
Night"
have
made
their
exit
from
the
top
10
list.
They
have
the
second,
third
and
fourth
slots
vacant
for
Eminem"s
'Recovery",
Rihanna"s
'Loud"
and
Nicki
Minaj"s
'Pink
Friday".
Kanye
West,
Katy
Perry,
Daft
Punk
and
Bruno
Mars
have
returned
to
the
top
10
ranking
with
their
'My
Beautiful
Dark
Twisted
Fantasy",
'Teenage
Dream",
'Tron
Legacy"
soundtrack
and
'Doo
-
Wops
&
Hooligans"
respectively.
West
has
made
it
No
5,
6th
position
has
gone
to
Daft
Punk,
Bruno
has
moved
to
No
7
and
Katy
Perry
at
No
9.
