Taylor Swift’s ‘Fairytale’ Continues Record-Breaking Streak

Multiple Grammy winner Taylor Swift has another reason to celebrate. Billboard reports that the superstar has broken yet another record.

This one was set previously in 2008 by Britney Spears, for best first-week download sales by a female artist. Taylor's latest single, 'Today Was a Fairytale,' sold 325,000 copies, enough to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Songs chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song also gives the singer the best Hot 100 start of her career and equals her highest-peaking position which she scored with 'You Belong with Me' in August of last year.

'Today Was a Fairytale' is from the upcoming film, 'Valentine's Day,' which features Taylor in her big-screen debut. The tune will also be included om the film's soundtrack. (Listen to it here.)
