^ I wouldn't be surprised if she ultimately does it with a single this era, though I'll be surprised if she does it with Sparks Fly. When she decides to release Mean (if she ever does), I think split-singles is a must if she wants to release something to pop.

BTD is, imo, a lot better song overall than Mine. This is a good choice for her and her fans.
I'm just wondering if there's a country version or is this the one being released to country radio.

I think the album version should do just fine on country radio--it's not necessarily country, but I don't think it's terribly pop-ish either (certainly not like the music of big pop stars, anyway). It's just a good song. Good music.
But a version with some added country instrumentation wouldn't bother me at all. I'm sure, if there was/is a country version, it'll be just as good as the album version.
I expect we'll get an adds date pretty soon. "Mine" might be on its last week on the chart, with Carrie looking ready to push for the top 10, and "Back To December" has already debuted at #57! I'm sure it'll see some big moves in the next 1-2 weeks, since only a few stations have added it yet..

Debuts on Country Songs on #57. This was already noted in the post made 2 hours before yours. "Back To December" was sent out to radio today, and it goes for adds on November 15. The radio edit is 4:10 (they cut some of the intro/outro and most of the instrumentation between the first chorus and second verse). There is no country mix.

I thought they would mostly cut some stuff in the bridge. Oh, and btw, I thought the original mix was country enough. How much more country should it be?

The album track is 4:50, so that means they shaved about 40 seconds off. Intro and break between first chorus/second verse are both about 10 seconds each, and the outro is around 20 seconds, so it adds up perfectly...

Not sure if I like the edit. I mean I know it's necessary, but the song feels rushed without the breaks between verses.
They should send the acoustic version of the song to radio as well.

Excellent performance of this song by Taylor on the CMA's tonight. I don't know if she's ever sounded better.
I really like this song. Adds date is in a week, but I think this one can make the top 40 already on next week's chart, as now it's starting to really pick up the pace since it's officially at radio. I think she could wind up ahead of a stagnant Frankie Ballard, and possibly ahead of Clay Walker and Sara Evans as well. Uncle Kracker is having a decent week, and Dierks and Thompson Square might be out of reach. But I think Taylor could wind up in that gap between Dierks/Kracker and Frankie/Clay/Sara, possibly landing around #37 or so. But of course she could gain more later in the week, and we've only had 2 days of data so far so it's hard to guess for sure. The first chart week of December will be after "Back To December" has gone for adds, so in its 3rd chart week, BTD could see another very big boost as well, following next week's big position jump.

Yeah, I agree that Taylor sounded awesome tonight -- Taylor often sounds best when singing acoustic versions of songs, without any loud production that she has to try and sing over. I loved the whole "snow falling" and mood of the set... it seemed to work perfectly with the song.

I'm pretty sure she was lip-syncing last night. But I did like the performance and the whole snow falling thing.

I wouldn't post something like this unless of course you want to get in trouble.

Aw, what's the matter, don't like the truth? Even though I said I liked the performance, I just pointed out that I felt as if she was lip-syncing because no one else pointed it out yet. I actually don't have a big problem with her. As for why I think so, it's because to me, it looked like her mouth was out of sync with the words at times.

Lip-synching is a serious enough charge that no one should be leveling it without being able to cite specific evidence. And if you're going to drop that in here given the history of fan wars and superfan idiocy (on the fringes of both fandoms) in the Carrie-Taylor world, you had better be extra responsible about it. Cowboy Casanova, "the truth" and "looked like"/"felt" don't jive with each other. Watch your tone. Show some self-awareness. If you can't cite specifics, don't post. Otherwise, find a way to deal with the fact that Taylor sounded OK to you even though you can't explain why. passionformusic, your posting privileges won't last long on this board if you don't find a way to respect Country Forum rules. If you think that the strength of your beliefs somehow puts you above the rules, you are sorely mistaken.

Yeah, the adds date was today, as noted in the first post of the thread... ;)
Here is Taylor's live performance at the CMA awards Wednesday night, so check it out if you missed the show. She actually did quite an impressive job playing an acoustic piano version of the song:

I always love it when she does more acoustic stuff. She was really good in these performances.
And I still think this performance is miles better than the one at the CMA'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.

She often has trouble trying to sing over loud production... but I think she sounded great singing "Back To December" both at the awards show, and also on the Ellen link you posted. Her acoustic version of "Mine" was also well done...

Nice 18 spot jump up to #39, by gaining a little over 2 million AI's. The important thing to note is that today is the adds date. While she might not gain 18 positions (she could come close) on next week's chart (12/4 edition), she'll gain a lot more audience. A boost of 6 million could put her in the lower 20's, maybe around Sunny, The JaneDear Girls, and Joe. I think she'll probably still be behind Blake and Billy, at least for another week...but this is one of her best songs and it fits the season perfectly, so I'm expecting another big move and an even bigger gain.
