After Taylor Swift’s new single “Mine” leaked online twelve days early, her record label Big Machine were forced to rush it to iTunes and radio early. Within five hours it had already topped US iTunes.
Unconfirmed reports are even speculating that this could be the fastest rise to #1 in iTunes history.
This is basically even bigger than when Britney’s “3″ shot to number one with no promotion. Insane! I think we could see “Mine” top the Hot 100 pretty soon.
Taylor’s third album Speak Now is due October 25th, and has already been predicted to sell upwards of 750,000 in it’s first week.
In other news, the first official performance of “Mine” will be at the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock on Sept. 1.
“Do you remember we were sittin’ there by the water…”
