Swift isn't slowing down

'Fearless' remains at No. 1 on charts

'Fearless'

Taylor Swift's "Fearless" remains No. 1 on the nation's album sales chart for a 10th nonconsecutive week, having sold 62,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It is the ninth album by a female singer to hold onto No. 1 for 10 weeks, according to Billboard data.

Charlie Wilson's "Uncle Charlie" (Jive) sold 58,000 to open at No. 2.

Post-Grammy shuffling resulted in a number of albums returning to the top 10 after they were displaced by telecast performers and award winners. The big Grammy winner, "Raising Sand" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, sold 32,000 and dropped to No. 9 from No. 2.

Morrissey's "Years of Refusal" (Attack/Lost Highway) opened at No. 11. M. Ward's "Hold Time" (Merge) posted career highs in chart position and sales, 19,000 (No. 31).
