Absolutely not.
But you know, that certified album sales of Swifts you linked me to, it's only at 110 million certified unites because of the 80 million digital single sales she has, those aren't 80 million album sales, they're digital singles, as in single songs.
And cut me a break, man. I said that I respect what Swift has accomplished. I just don't like her music, but she isn't without talent.
By the way...
Talent does factor in to success. But I don't want to get in to that debate with you, because I feel that if I do, I'll only come off in the wrong way to you and your idea of what defines an artists or bands success, because it does not rely only on the talent they possess. Justin Beiber is a good example of that. Talented? To a point, but there are other, more prominent or ruling factors in to the success he has had.
