Taylor Swift

She may never ever be getting back together with ex-boyfriends, but Taylor Swift's also never ever getting away from the top of the Billboard charts.

Taylor Swift has barely been on the music scene for a decade; however, she already has two Guinness world records, three successful albums, and six Grammys.

Though there's still a long road ahead to catch up to Beyonce's 16 golden trophies, at 22, the singer is well on her way.

Swift dominated the music stage in 2009 with her Fearless album the year prior, and now, after more than a year on tour she's back to break more records with new cd "Red" out this week.

With more than 260,000 sales on day one, the release of album number four is already looking like another record setter for Swift, something that could be an early indication more Grammy gold is in her future.

2004: At the age of 14, Swift moved out to Nashville and became the youngest songwriter to be hired by the Sony/ATV Tree Publishing House.



2006: At 16, Swift released her first single "Tim McGraw." The song climbed to No.6 on Billboard Magazine's Hot Country Songs chart.

October 2006: When Swift's debut album came onto the music scene it peaked at No.1 on the Billboard top country albums chart and at No.5 on the Billboard 200 list.

It was at the top of the country charts for 24 weeks. She joins the Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood to achieve the same honor in this decade.
