Announced today is some huge news from the Big Machine/Taylor Swift camp about Ms. Swift.

Did you know, as of this weekend, Taylor’s Taylor Swift is the longest-charting album of this century!? That’s pretty incredible!

As a record-breaking album TAYLOR SWIFT, released in October of 2006, spends its 157th week on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart, more weeks on the chart than any album this decade, surpassing the record previously held by Nickelback.

Other records that Taylor also holds include the Billboard record for most Top 10 debuts in a calendar year, and only solo female act in the 44-year history of the Billboard Country Chart to score five Top 10 singles from a debut album, longest-charting female Country star in the Nielsen SoundScan era, and is also the only Country artist in history to have a #1 single on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS Hot 100 Airplay chart (all formats).

But Taytay is not resting on her laurels with this news. The hardest working teen in show business has just released FEARLESS in a Platinum edition and is making the media rounds to promote.

This Saturday, November 7th, Taylor is set to host Saturday Night Live (NBC), and will also serve as the show’s musical guest that evening. Taylor joins a small number of artists who have pulled double duty on the show, a group that includes Justin Timberlake, Sting and Janet Jackson. The last time a female country artist was tapped to both host and perform was Dolly Parton, twenty years ago.

In addition to SNL, Taylor will appear tonight, November 2nd, on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and is set to perform on the CMA Awards on ABC on November 11th.

Taylor is nominated for four CMA Awards this year, and with six nominations is the top nominee for the 2009 American Music Awards.

No wonder she’s the youngest ever “Entertainer of the Year” nominee. Whew. I am tired just typing all of her plans for the week! Are you a Taylor Swift fan? Is she your top pick for “Entertainer of the Year?”

Also, be sure to vote on the new “Sum’s Up” poll on the main page! “What’s the BEST part of the CMA awards?”
