Speak Now on Track to First Week Sales of Over a Million

Country crossover star Taylor Swift won't be of drinking age until Dec. 13, but she's already celebrating, as Christmas comes early for the record industry.

The voice of a teen generation released her third album this week, Speak Now, on Scott Borchetta's Nashville-based Big Machine label along with Universal Republic, which has the industry partying like it's 1999, and we don't mean the sale price for a deluxe double album.

Between physical sales and a record-setting pace for digital downloads, the album forecast is between 900k and the magic million mark. The race to that milestone, the first album to do so since Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III in 2008, will provide a measure of suspense to next week's HITS sales chart, based on the response from those music retailers who haven't turned their storefronts into local Tea Party headquarters.

It would also be the largest first week for a Country artist since Shania Twain's Up sold 874k in Nov. 2002, and the first Country artist to go over a million since Garth Brooks' Double Live moved 1.085m in the good old days of Nov. 1998.

Swift's Speak Now is also approaching the year's top digital sales week, held by Eminem's Recovery, behind only Coldplay's Viva La Vida. The album immediately becomes a contender to topple the hip-hop-star's release for the year's best seller, which is now at 2.86m and counting.

Haha! Nice.

The Veronicas for PETA

Australia pop duo The Veronicas have joined the ranks of celebs speaking out against the use of fur in a graphic new advertising campaign.

Singing twin sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso flew in to Sydney this week to unveil their gory new anti-animal cruelty advertisement in cooperation with controversial animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

While The Veronicas don’t go naked like many of PETA’s other celebrity centerfolds — ie: Eva Mendes, Kimora Lee Simmons, and fellow Australian Sophie Monk — the ad shocks nevertheless. Smartly-dressed, Jess and Lisa each hold a skinned rabbit with the caption “Here’s the Rest of Your Fur Coat” in a mock fashion shoot.

The girls say they were compelled to join the PETA movement after being shown videos of Chinese fur farms skinned animals alive for their fur.

“Designers that still use fur, to us it is just ignorant, it is unnecessary and it is unacceptable,” says Jess, who encourages others to patronize trendy retailers, such as Forever 21, JC Penney, and Urban Outfitters, who do not use fur in their designs. “We don’t want to be an ignorant generation, we want to inform people. We can be the generation that makes the difference. Wearing fur is unnecessary and unacceptable.”

In the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.

So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can’t have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings
