Taylor Swift, meanwhile, enters the Hot 100 at No. 72 with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," the first single from her fourth studio album, "Red," due Oct. 22. The song arrives after being released to retail and radio only late Monday (Aug. 13), with its first two days of airplay accounting for a No. 25 start on Radio Songs (40 million), the highest debut rank for a song by a female country act in the airplay tally's 21-year history. As previously reported, the song should make a dramatic play for the top of next week's Hot 100 after logging a full first week of sales and airplay. (Highlights of next week's Hot 100 will post next Wednesday (22) on Billboard.com.)
- first #1 debut in streaming era!
- biggest jump to #1(but this was never gonna happen anyways .. )
- first non-american idol country singer to debut #1 !
Why? Debuting at top is a curse look @ those songs longevity.
Having that record would've been amazing. And I think this song will have longevity regardless of its debut position. I still can't believe it gained that much airplay in just 2 days.

Patience she's still young and there's still more singles to come

Don't let my survey flop
Put me in neutral. One of her worst songs ever and not a move I wanted her to make in her career, but it still puts the discographies of other pop girls to shame.
