Newcomer Ke$ha topples Taylor Swift Ranking twice as high in 2010 albums

It may seem far-fetched and incredible, but for the first half of 2010, Ke$ha has outsold Taylor Swift in albums.

Ke$ha stands at 813,000 units sold according to Billboard, while Swift has sold 587,000. Billboard ranks Ke$ha at #8 and Swift at #16.

We won't go into the fact that Lady Antebellum and Justin Bieber top the first half of the year charts. My mind is not ready to comprehend why or how?
