Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Getting Back Together” to Debut at #1 On Billboard Hot 100 Chart
Serving as the first official single from her upcoming fourth studio album Red, Taylor Swift‘s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together“ is set to makes its debut at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, thanks to its strong radio airplay and a projected record first-week digital sales total.
Sent to radio late last Monday night, the song has managed to receive approximately 30 million in all-format radio audience in less than 24 hours, according to Nielsen BDS, and has joined the last severaldays’ 40 most-played titles across all formats.
Sources say that the song will sell over 600,000 downloads by the end of the Nielsen SoundScan tracking week on Sunday, August 19th. A pop and country version of the song was sent to appropriate radio formats, but the pop edit of the song is currently the only one available digitally, and I love it.
The song is also set to be listed as the largest debut for a for a digital song by a female artist, since Lady Gaga’s Born This Way racked a total of 448,000 after only 3 days on February 11, 2011. This will also give Taylor her best sales week ever since Love Story’s 360,000 over the 2008 Christmas week.
