TAYLOR, TWICE: Taylor Swift's "Fearless" (Big Machine) leads Top Country Albums for the seventh consecutive week. The country singer's sophomore album debuted at No. 1 the week of Nov. 29, 2008 and hasn't budged since. It's the longest uninterrupted reign since Swift remained in pole position for eight weeks in August/September 2007 with her first release.

Moving back up to No. 2 on Top Country Albums this week is that first album by Swift, giving her the top two positions on this survey. It's the first time one artist has locked down first and second place since the week of Aug. 2, 2008, when Taylor's "Beautiful Eyes" EP debuted at No. 1 and her first album fell 1-2.

Taylor's eponymous first album entered the chart the week of Nov. 11, 2006, at No. 3. It then fell to No. 8 and by its third week had slipped out of the top 10. It remained out of the top 10 for seven weeks, then jumped 12-6 the week of Jan. 13, 2007, and has never left the top 10 since. This week's posting at No. 2 is the first time the album has been in the top two since the week of Sept. 6, 2008, when it was also in the runner-up spot. To date, Taylor's first album has been No. 1 for 24 weeks.
