       Hits Daily Projection for Speak Now- 975 K+

       Country music extends its run of #1s to five of the last six
       weeks as Taylor Swift is poised to make history on next week's
       chart. At midweek, and barring an iTunes server meltdown or
       Target suddenly shutting its doors, Swift will score the largest
       first week ever for a female country artist, besting Shania
       Twain's Up debut of 874k in 2002. Can she beat Lil Wayne's
       1.005m from 2008? She has that number clearly in her sights. And
       if she does, will it be by enough to unseat Garth Brooks' mark
       of 1.085m debut with Double Live in 1998?
       The last time a record debuted at close to or over a million
       (Lil Wayne in the week ending 6/15/08), the Top 15 totaled
       almost 2.1m. No such luck next week as it's shaping up to be a
       whopping 600k less. Here's how it all looks headed into the
       Halloween weekend.
