Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Big Machine Records) - Taylor Swift's limited edition Wal-Mart exclusive release, Beautiful Eyes, will be released this Tuesday, July 15th.
The CD/DVD collection contains exclusive content never-before-released, but Taylor wanted to make sure her fans weren't confusing this release with her sophomore album, set for release later this year.
In a recent MySpace blog, Taylor notes: 'I wanted to let you know about this limited edition release that's coming out at Wal Mart called 'Beautiful Eyes'. This is NOT my new album that I've been working on all year. It's a two disc set, one CD and one DVD.
The CD has two previously unreleased songs, 'Beautiful Eyes' and 'I
Heart ?' ( I wrote those songs when I was 13) as well as alternate versions of 'Should've Said No', and an acoustic version of 'Teardrops On My Guitar'.
The DVD has of all of my videos, the ACM Performance of 'Should've Said No' (in the rain!) and a video created for 'Beautiful Eyes' with footage from my 18th Birthday Party.
I'm only letting my record company make a small amount of these - the last thing I want any of you to think is that we are putting out too many releases.
I'm not going to be doing a bunch of promotion for it, because I don't want there to be confusion about whether it's the second album or not.
I've gotten so many emails from people asking for new songs, and I thought this might tie them over till the new album comes out in the fall.'
Taylor Swift Continues To Make History
This week Taylor Swift became the only solo female act in the 44-year history of the Billboard country chart to score FIVE Top 10 singles from a debut album. 'Should've Said No,' the fifth single from Taylor's self-titled debut CD, entered the Top 10 on Billboard's Country Singles chart this week, only eight weeks after its release to radio.
Taylor wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the disc, including her four previous hit singles: 'Tim McGraw' 'Teardrops On My Guitar,' 'Our Song,' and 'Picture To Burn.'
'Taylor Swift' was recently certified Triple-Platinum (3 million sold) by the RIAA. Taylor first secured her place in the country music history books when at the age of 17, she became the youngest person to single-handedly write and sing a number-one country single entirely on her own ("Our Song" spent 6 consecutive weeks at No 1 atop Billboard's Top Country Songs chart), and she is also the first female solo artist in country music history to write or co-write every song on a platinum-selling debut CD.
This week, 'Taylor Swift' spends its 23rd week in the No 1 position atop Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, exhibiting extraordinary momentum for an album released 89 weeks ago.
