Chart Watch: Taylor's "Fairytale" Contiues

    Country star Taylor Swift scored her third top three hit this week with the record breaking "Today Was A Fairytale", giving her yet another reason to celebrate.

    Swift, who has been nominated eight times at this week's Grammy awards, debuted at No. 2 with "Fairytale", from the soundtrack to Valentine's Day.  With digital sales of 325,000, Swift broke the record for best first week sales by a female artist.  The previous record holder was Britney Spears who sold 286,000 downloads of "Womanizer" in October 2008.

     Even with a stellar week in sales, radio airplay for "Fairytale" is non-existent, giving Ke$ha her sixth week at No. 1.  It does beg the question though, will Taylor Swift ever get a No. 1 single?
