U2 Takes Down Taylor Swift.. WHAAAT?!

All that snow shoveling, Letterman groveling and Amazon.com price cutting paid off for U2. The little band from Dublin did something few others could—knock Taylor Swift down a peg.

Powered by a massive media blitz, Bono and the boys saw their latest effort, No Line on the Horizon, sell 484,000 copies in its debut week, per Nielsen SoundScan, easily topping reigning chart champ Swift’s Fearless.
