Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” Debuts; “Sparks Fly,” “Dear John” Garner Interest

Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated “Speak Now” released Monday, and the surefire Billboard 200 chart topper is predictably making an early impact on iTunes.

In addition to instantly emerging as the top-selling album at the digital retailer, various singles are making their mark. While “Mean,” the most-recently-released promotional single, is the only track currently in the overall top ten, it is hardly as if no one is buying individual numbers from the album.

Domestically, “Sparks Fly” trails “Mean,” debut official single “Mine” and promotional single “Back to December.” Other solid performers, all of which entered the top ten country songs chart, include “The Story of Us” (7), “Dear John” (8) and “Innocent” (9).

Amazon, meanwhile, ranks “Sparks Fly” and “Innocent” as the current top “movers and shakers.”

Swift’s music skews differently outside of the US; in the UK, the album’s top iTunes country performers are “Ours,” “If This Was a Movie” and “Superman.”
