But even that little adventure is lightening up now. Swift\u2019s song have been temporarily replaced by Halloween records. \u201cMonster Mash,\u201d  from the 1960s, is number 1 today. (\u201cThriller\u201d is number 1 on iTunes.)<\/p>\n<p>Swift\u2019s marketing team won\u2019t settle for this result but they\u2019ve actually sold all the physical product to the people who wanted it. <\/p>\n<p>As for iTunes: Swift probably doesn\u2019t have a follow up single to \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia.\u201d She kept her individual tracks off of iTunes for two weeks, then released only \u201cOphelia.\u201d Now that they\u2019re all available, they\u2019re not doing business.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t cry for Taylor Swift! It\u2019s estimated her earnings so far from this album are around $135 million. She can throw herself a really nice wedding!<\/p>\n<p>Donate to Showbiz411.com<\/p>\n<p>Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news.
