Taylor Swift is Highest Album Seller in 2008

As can be expected, Taylor Swift was the Highest Album selling Artist of 2008 in Country Music. but even more amazing is the fact that she is the No. 1 album seller for all music genres, this has to be very satisfying for the 19 year old Country Star from Pennsylvania. This was achieved between the sales of her self named first album “Taylor Swift” and also with sales of her 2008 smash release Fearless.

The combined total was over 4 million albums sold, she also had an album and dvd release exclusive to Wal-Mart that added to her other two album sales to reach this top selling figure. Taylor was not the single album top, although both her albums sold over One Million each, that honor went to Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” selling 2,874,000 albums between downlods and sales at the register. Miss Swift is sure to tour this Summer in support of her top country hits, and then continue with recording another album in 2009.

Here is Taylor’s video and lyrics of “Picture To Burn” from her debut “Taylor Swift” Album.

State the obvious
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy
That’s fine, you won’t mind if I say
and by the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

There’s no time for tears
I’m just sitting here planning my revenge
Nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy’s going to show you how sorry you’ll be

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

And if you’re missing me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven’t heard

I really, really hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn
Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby, burn

Her Daddy gave her first pony
Then told her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don’t know how many times
Taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well

Cowgirls don’t cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are going
To show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It’s gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don’t cry

She grew up
She got married
Never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started coming home late at night
She didn’t let him see it break her heart
She didn’t let him see her fall apart

‘Cause Cowgirls don’t cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are going to show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It’s gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don’t cry

Phone rang early one morning
Her momma’s voice, she’d been crying
Said it’s your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he’s dying
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said

Cowgirl don’t cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons of life show us all in time
Too soon God lets you know why
If you fall get right back on
The Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don’t cry

Dierks Bentley Video and Lyrics for “Feel That Fire”

Dierks Bentley continues to climb the Country Music Charts with “Feel That Fire”. He released the video earlier this month, and should be releasing the CD of the same name in early 2009.
Below is the Video and Lyrics of the current fast rising song from Dierks.

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the crackerjack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

She wants to wear my shirt to bed
She wants to make every stray a pet
N’ Drive around in my truck
With no place to go

But she needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
A real desire
Does she know I’d walk
Alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire

She wants a cabin in the woods
She wants to stand where nobody stood
And someday she wants a couple kids of her own

She wants to make love on a train
And some days she only wants a break
Hey She wants what she wants, but man I know I know I know

She needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
A real desire, Does she know I’d walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire
Yeah, feel that fire

So as long as there’s a breath to take
A smile to share, a prayer to pray
A chance to hold her hand to fan the flame

She’s gonna feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
Her real desire, Does she know I’d walk alone out on the wire
Yeah, to make her feel that fire
Ohh feel that fire

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the crackerjack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

Billy Ray Cyrus - “Somebody Said A Prayer” Video

Here is the video from Billy Ray Cyrus for his new single, “Somebody Said A Prayer”.

“Somebody Said A Prayer” Lyrics

Just a single mom raisin up the kids

Little Tommy’s seven now and her daughter Justine just turned ten

Pinchin every cent laughin and lovin and content

You would never think a couple years ago she almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke

right there on the edge right before the fall

Chorus: Somebody said a prayer somebody had some faith somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake somebody finally found someone who really cares somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke the middle of the night a bottle full of pills and a goodbye note

Sittin on his bed but then he bowed his head now I see him every week and every now and then he talks about that night and the peace that came over him talk about a sign

Can I get an amen well there were tears on his face he said look what happened lord

Chorus: Somebody said a prayer
somebody had some faith somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heavens sake somebody finally found someone who really cares
somebody said a prayer

*Repeat chorus

Can I get an amen Ohhhhhhhh
can I get an amen Ohhhhhhhhhh
somebody somebody said a prayer somebody said a prayer somebody somebody said a prayer

Taylor Swift’s New Video “Love Story”

Here is the new video from Taylor Swift, “Love Story” from the new album “Fearless”, due for release on November 11th.

“Love Story” Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony of summer air

See the lights,
See the party
the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know

That you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quite cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Let’s keep this down for a little while

Cause you were romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
And I was begging you please don’t go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real,
Don’t be afraid
We’ll make it out of looseness
It’s a love story baby just say yes, oh,

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you would ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town I said

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don’t know what to think
He kneels to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said

Marry me Juliet you’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all the reason for
I talk to your dad go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Sugarland’s New Video “Already Gone”

Here is the new video from Sugarland, “Already Gone” from the album Love On The Inside.

“Already Gone” Lyrics

My Mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands you shake and which hands you hold
In m hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll
Shhe knew that I had to go
And hangout, make lots of noise
Make the mistakes that she made ’cause she knew all along

I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can’t wait to jump on

They say the first time won’t ever last
But that didn’t stop me. the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
“Girl, don’t you lost your heart yet”
But his dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his tourch burning me up, but still I held on

I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can’t wait to jump on

The last time I say him, we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other
We split the blame for the parts that we couldn”t change
Pictures, dished and socks
It’s our whole life down to one box There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone

But I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Hangout, make lots of noise
And layout late with a boy
Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train

My mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold
In my hand-me-down Mercury
Life is a runaway train you can’t wait to jump on
