I could see it reaching top 10 within a week, which should boost it into the 50s or 60s on the all-genre chart... I think they may actually be able to ride this song out until the CMAs, which is the most amazing (but unexpected) thing ever...
Brad & Carrie are performing Remind Me, which already dropped off the charts, so Taylor could and should definitely perform Sparks Fly since it hasn't peaked yet!  |
yes! two days ago was #84 and yesterday it was #70

Wikipedia (the most unreliable site there is) says Enchanted will be released on October 19...

Sparks Fly has been the "current single" for 75 days now... In comparison, Love Story had 88 days between its release and the release of White Horse. You Belong With Me had 132 days between its release and the release of Fifteen.
Love Story had a great music video, pop adds, promo performances and hype as lead single.
You Belong With Me also had a great music video, pop adds and promo performances.
Sparks Fly has a tour video, no pop adds, no promo performances and little hype.
At this point, I think there's two ways to go about this.
1. Give Sparks Fly 3-4 more weeks before cutting the losses and move on to the next single; Sparks Fly would still be a top 10 hit (maybe even top 5), and the next single- hopefully Enchanted- gets a big start with a live performance at the CMAs the first week of November.
2. Give Sparks Fly pop adds and drag the song out for as long as possible, with a live performance at the CMAs in November. By the day of the CMAs (November 9), Sparks Fly will have spent 115 days as the "current single" and it'd probably get another month or two after that. Doing this runs the risk that the song won't do well on pop radio.
I think the first option is the smarter choice. Like I said, Sparks Fly gets to be a top 10 country hit, and the next single will get a strong start. I don't think it's appropriate to spend 5+ months promoting a single that isn't a massive hit; Mean was only a single for about 3 months before Sparks Fly was released, and Mean got more airplay than Sparks Fly is getting...
If it were up to me, I'd give Sparks Fly until mid-October so that it can peak in the top 7 on country radio while Enchanted continues to gain popularity with the Wonderstruck promo campaign, release an Enchanted radio edit during the last 2 weeks of October, perform Enchanted at the CMAs November 9th and release the Enchanted music video (the Wonderstruck commercials) in mid-to-late November. 
Give Enchanted its chance to shine, because the reality is that Sparks Fly is not going #1 no matter what the label- or the fans- do. |
and sparks fly had 107 days already as current single i think last 4 weeks as a single can save the song!!

Not sure about the US, but I haven't heard anything from Taylor on the radio since The Story of Us.

Apparently winning the Country Music Association's vaunted Entertainer of the Year award last week wasn't enough for Taylor Swift.
Not resting on her laurels, Swift - already named Billboard's Woman of the Year for 2011 - scores her fifth No. 1, and first in more than two years, on Billboard's Country Songs chart, as "Sparks Fly" ignites 3-1. She had last led the list with "You Belong With Me" the weeks of Aug. 22-29, 2009.
"Sparks Fly" marks Swift's first No. 1 from her album "Speak Now" after three top five hits: "Mine" (No. 2), "Back to December" (No. 3) and "Mean" (No. 2).
More Swift chart news lies ahead this week, as she's set to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with multiple tracks from the re-issue of "Speak Now." Analysis of the entries will post on Billboard.com Wednesday (Nov. 16), with all charts updating Thursday (17).
In celebration of Swift's latest leader on Country Songs, here's a videologue of her five titles (all uptempo) to have ascended to the chart's summit.
"Our Song"- Six weeks, Dec. 22, 2007-Jan. 26, 2008
"Should've Said No"- Two weeks, Aug. 23-30, 2008
"Love Story"- Two weeks, Nov. 22-29, 2008
"You Belong With Me"- Two weeks, Aug. 22-29, 2009
"Sparks Fly"- One week (to-date), Nov. 26, 2011
|
"Our Song" is Taylor's longest at #1 on the country charts and You Belong With Me is Taylor's highest peak on the Hot 100.
Sparks Fly will likely spend a second week at #1

I didn't know Sparks Fly was a big country hit. 
Her label only cares about getting country hits at this point, at least it looks like that to me.

It makes sense to me, especially to all the critics who keeps on saying she isn't a country artist
