Taylor Swift, 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' Storms the Charts

Big Machine Records

For the first time ever in her stratospheric career, Taylor Swift has a No. 1 pop song with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Billboard reports that the enigmatic tune has scored the best-ever sales by a woman and the second-largest sales week overall. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the single tops the Digital Songs chart with 623,000 copies sold and jumps from No. 72 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.Ke$ha held the previous record for a female artist, while rapper Flo Rida scored the best week ever with 636,000 copies of "Right Round" sold in one week in 2009.

Taylor has previously reached the No. 2 spot with "Today Was a Fairytale" in 2010 and "You Belong With Me" in 2009. To date, the 22-year-old has sold more than 50 million downloads, with 17.8 million albums sold in the U.S. Her fourth studio album, Red, is set for release on Oct. 22.

Taylor also tops the Country Digital Tracks chart, moving Little Big Town's "Pontoon" to No. 3 and leaving Carrie Underwood "Blown Away" at No. 2. Hunter Hayes' "Wanted" is No. 4 and Jason Aldean's "Take a Little Ride" is No. 5.

On the country album chart, Zac Brown Band's Uncaged returns to the top spot, with last week's No. 1, Independence Day by Colt Ford, dropping to No. 4. Carrie Underwood's Blown Away album is No. 2 and Luke Bryan's Tailgates and Tanlines is No. 3. The No. 5 album, Tuskegee, by Lionel Richie, zooms back up from No. 13. The top debut of the week, Blackberry Smoke's The Whippoorwill, comes in at No. 8.

This is by far the worst song she has ever done. Hopefully the rest of her album is more mature. She is after a full grown women well into her 20's not the 14 yr old she used to be. Its time to end those childish revenge songs.

I think Taylor is a unique singer. I wish that I had to talant to entertain and sing, and make money in her field. Some of the bad comments I hear about her are unfounded. Go Girl...it dose not matter what people say.

Taylor is just the cutest little thing...

This song is fine................for a POP artist. Why the heck is she scoring all these #1's on the country charts? All she can write about are her ex's. She needs to find different material to sing about.

I wonder if I ever heard that song. I remember classic artists as Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Rod Stweart, Whitney Houston, Madonna & others...woow.. people can heard their music almost anywhere! These days Music has changed so much that someone like Katy Perry multiples number ones in the charts ... Those songs they don't seems that big as they used to be !

What's most impressive is that she achieves this without being able to sing.

Or maybe this says somrething about Americans lack of taste?
