Sparks Fly was a mistake. It shouldn't have been a single.
Sparks Fly actually saved Speak Now era, after TSOU flopped and the album's first three country singles failed to reach number one, only peaking within the top 3
I just realised The Lord can only get 2 hits per era.
Debut - 2 country hits (OS, SSN), 2 minor pop hits (TOMG, OS)
Fearless - 2 hits (LS, YBWM)
Speak Now - 2 country hits (SF, Ours), 2 minor pop hits (Mine, BTD)
Red - 2 pop hits (WANEGBT, IKYWT)

Sis, Mean was a much bigger hit than Sparks Fly despite peaking at number 2. It had to compete against the monstrous airplay of Honey Bee causing it to miss the top spot. Let's not forget about how Sparks Fly is the lowest-selling country single from the Speak Now era.
