Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, ‘Red’, hasn’t even come out yet, but the country songstress is already breaking music industry records. Her new single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, has been downloaded 600,000 times since its release on August 14. With such staggering results, the song has reached new heights as the most popular debut of a song by a female artist. The previous record holder was Lady Gaga for her anthem “Born This Way”.
To make things even sweeter for the country musician, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” has placed 72nd on the Billboard Hot 100 and will likely rise in popularity in the coming weeks. With a strong start, it may just beat out Flo Rida’s “Right Round” for largest debut of a song by any artist.
It’s really no surprise that the song has seen so much success in such a short time span. It’s funny, catchy and has just a hint of that country charm that Taylor Swift does so well.
Taylor Swift’s new album ‘Red’ comes out on October 22. Let’s see if it does some record breaking of its own!
