I think Taylor Swift just may be the FIRST country artist to sing about her birth month and it will actually be charting in December!

P.S. Taylor's Wikipedia discography page still doesn't list this as the next single. No CHR adds date yet, and as austin noted above when there is one it would be posted in the respective forum, not this one. And her Wikipedia does in fact list this as the second single, there just isn't a separate page for it yet. Which is weird since it does meet the "requirements," -- charted on the Hot 100, has a release date, debuted on country songs etc. It theoretically should get one soon. What I meant was that this isn't listed as a single after "Mine" under the "Singles" section of her page.

(Taylor's "Mine" is -1405, while "Back To December" is +370)

Just heard this on the radio today for the first time! It sounded great. I'm not a fan of the radio edit and it sounds a little bit rushed but I hope it's another hit for Taylor. What do you think are the chances of this hitting #1?

^I think this may be one of her better chances from the album. While it's not necessarily "country-sounding", I still think it's the type of song that works well on country radio, and it's not "anti-country" by any means. The critical and fan reception seems to be a bit warmer than that for "Mine" as well. And the song fits perfectly for the season. It'll get some big weeks during the month of December, and should do well for the winter. I think she will be able to stay ahead of Jason/Kelly (since Jason's "My Kinda Party" is still climbing in the top 10), and also ahead of new releases from Sugarland, Darius, Brad, and the Zac Brown Band. Taylor may even be able to catch Billy and Blake, both of whom I believe to be #1 contenders down the road.
I don't know what I'd say her % chances are of making #1, but I'll just say that I feel they're pretty good.

Yeah, I agree that this is one of the best songs on the album, and probably Taylor's best chance at hitting #1. They perfectly timed the release, which also should help out. I'd give it a 'very good' chance at reaching the top of the charts. "Sparks Fly" is another song which I think could have a very good shot at reaching #1 sometime next summer... but for more of my thoughts on her album: countrycharttalk.com/taylor-swift-%E2%80%94-speak-now/

^ Nice performance, and she added another verse at the end of the bridge, "it's too late to apologize..." Brilliant move by Taylor Swift to incorporate Apologize into Back To December. P.S.: Excellent review of the Speak Now CD, joey2002. You should consider a career in critical reviews!

^ Nice performance, and she added another verse at the end of the bridge, "it's too late to apologize..." Pardon my ignorance, but have you never heard OneRepublic's "Apologize"? The verse she added was the chorus from the song. If you haven't heard it, I definitely recommend listening to it. I doubt that you'll regret it. ^ Nice performance, and she added another verse at the end of the bridge, "it's too late to apologize..." Brilliant move by Taylor Swift to incorporate Apologize into Back To December. I can see why Taylor put "Apologize" into the song, but her voice is nowhere near big enough for it. It was quite clever, and I think that it fit. I think that it was the low point of the performance though.

Actually haven't heard it before (i'm typically only into country music) but I just took a listen to the song on youtube. Makes a little more sense now...

I always figured that "Apologize" was so massive that even non-pop fans had heard it. Now that I think about it, Luke Bryan covered it on Doing My Thing. It wasn't as good as the original, but I think that Luke did a good job with it. In "Back to December" related news, it's nice to see it taking off well. For some reason, I can see this song lasting longer on the charts than the typical Taylor song.

I think that it was the low point of the performance though. I love the idea of it, but not the execution. She just doesn't have the range to sing that song, I wish she knew that... Overall, the performance at AMA was ok (the piano parts), although the verses did sounded a bit off to me. Or maybe it's because I'm just not really a big fan of BTD to begin with. I find the melody rather monotonous.

I'm liking this as a single. Her CMA performance was much better IMO. Even without the unnecessary "Apologize" part, the CMA performance would still be better.

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan. There's no if's, and's, or but's about it.
However, this is the second song of her's that I've actually thoroughly enjoyed (with the first being "Fearless"). She's sung it well at the CMAs and decently the AMAs (minus the "Apologize" part), and I'm a fan of this song. She still hasn't grown on me (and it will take a lot for her to do so), but this song is definitely a big step up from some of her previous work. I'll support this song and its entirety. I want to see this one do very well, because it's a fantastically-written song, in my opinion.

"BTD" is climbing really fast on Mediabase. :)

Taylor Swift's previous single, Mine is her third #1 adult contemporary hit following Love Story and You Belong With Me (both 2009). It is an early 21st birthday gift for her.

She's cracked the top 20, and has the second-greatest gainer after Brad Paisley.

Wow #4 in Bullseye call out this week. Really impressive since new songs usually test horribly until they gain familiarity. For instance Chesney's song which is only two weeks older has been stuck at the bottom of the chart for weeks and only "leaped" up to #29 this week.

^Yeah, that's great for her. Unless I'm mistaken, she hasn't had a song received so well so early on. I don't pay attention to the callout scores on a week-to-week basis, but I'm aware that this is pretty darn good. Seems like a lot of people like this one. Callout doesn't always correlate to airplay, but even so, this song is moving up nicely. She could easily pass Blake, Lady A, and Toby next week...Blake and Lady A have been on a roll of late, but both of their current singles (ballads) are moving slower, and I'm not entirely sure that all of them will hit #1. But Taylor, I think she has a great chance for her first BB #1 since "You Belong With Me". This is a great song, her best single to date, imo.
