Taylor Swift (album)
In the United States, Taylor Swift didn't chart high at first. It became more popular over time. In its first week, it went to number 19 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 40,000 copies. Because albums often drop in sales after they come out, Swift did not think it would stay on the chart for a long time: "I would be incredibly lucky to see this album certified Gold." She was wrong, however, and Taylor Swift kept selling a similar amount each week. By November 2007, the album had sold over a million copies.
