With the points that fun. has from both airpla yand sales, "Eyes Open" would have to sell a helluva lot for the week.

Up to #5 now. Should be #2 pretty quickly since the pop bars from the current 2-4 are really close. But then she'll be stuck at #2 for a few hours. Imagine if she stalls somewhere around 95%

Actually, it's not that big of a number she would have to sell. Given she gains no airplay this week, she would only need roughly 405-410k+ consider "We Are Young" continues to gain roughly 3.5 million AI per day and it sells roughly 280-300k per day.
I realize that seems a lot, but for Taylor, it's doable. I doubt she will get it, though. Even as a big seller, I only see it selling 350k max.

I doubt she'll get a Hot 100.

Eyes Open is at #2 on itunes.
Remember, WAY is #1 on streaming as well, which would bump up the amount this would need to sell.

She won't get a #1, but I find it pretty amusing that she really isn't known as one of THE digital queens, yet literally everything she releases races straight to #1. Maybe some of these girls wanting to do quickie remixes to grab #1s should get Taylor instead of the usual suspects!

If she does get to #1 on iTunes, it might shake up Fun.'s domination a bit. I don't think Taylor can overtake them, but that #1 spot on iTunes is a nice little piece of free promotion, and if Fun. loses it now, they could dip in sales a bit. It will be interesting, but honestly, I don't see Taylor or much anything else threatening Fun.'s #1 streak for a while.

Maybe some of these girls wanting to do quickie remixes to grab #1s should get Taylor instead of the usual suspects! That's because her sales are so frontloaded. She releases a new single, and her fans (and she has many of them) download it like crazy, causing it to rise up the iTunes chart very "swiftly" so to speak. But once the big rush is over, there's very little to help it sustain its high position for very long. She also gets virtually no airplay, which doesn't help either.

However, I have to disagree a lot with the last sentence. Only "Safe & Sound" and "Today Was a Fairytale" are her only two singles I can think of that haven't/didn't get large amounts of airplay. Edit: I forgot about "The Flopping of Us."

I'm genuinely curious because I really don't listen to much of either but I can't recall ever hearing her on a CHR station.

Mostly country with this album although both "Mine" and "Back to December" peaked at #11 on CHR. Her last album, "Fearless," had two #1 CHR hits though.

She gets decent airplay especially for a country artist, but I do wonder what would happen if she got Katy/Rihanna treatment and had 100+ million in audience to promote her singles almost instantly. She isn't a pop artist though so it will never happen. Not that her career is in any way lacking. She sells tons of singles and albums and tickets to her tours so I doubt she is aching over not always getting a multiformat airplay hit.

Aching over not getting a #1 pop hit as a country artist?
The bottom line would have to be....
Finishing #1 on the MoneyMakers list, I will take her salary any day.

Probably because the vast majority of her songs that race up iTunes have had absolutely no longevity. She'd be a good collabo option, but I think most pop divas would make a very odd duet partner for her.

But that's because all of her songs go #1, regardless if there a single or not...Her actual radio singles show good longevity, but songs that aren't promoted fall right away. Regardless it's really crazy how every song she releases heads straight to the top. I expect this song will start free falling in a few days, but since it's being sent to pop and is being promoted it should end up having good longevity.

I think Taylor is really the queen of first week digital sales, ANY songs with her name on it would debut very high on Digital Sales even with no promo at all. If Taylor releases 10 new songs on itunes, ALL would make the top 20 iTunes. Although she doesn't have the longevity for those 1 or 2 weeks charting-songs. Funny how she never had a #1 Hot 100 yet, probably because too early digital release. Today Was A Fairytale could've been her biggest chance at hitting #1 Hot 100 if released 1 or weeks later. (Considering Britney's 3 could debut at #1 with less first week sales). mSadly she picked the week with tight competition.

If Mine wasn't released midweek, I think that could've toppled LTWYL for a week.

It's looking like a possibility that Taylor may not make it number one on iTunes. It's already starting to slow down:
1 Fun. - We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe) 1.0000 1.0000 2 Taylor Swift - Eyes Open 0.7641 0.7444

How long has fun. been on top now? It has to be closing in on two months now, right (since it got there just after the Super Bowl)?

"Eyes Open" now has a adds date.Hopefully that somewhat helps next week if radio decides to play it."Mine" leaked two weeks eariler than it should have.If it was released at the expected time,it could of been a Hot 100 #1.Yes the singles that didn't much airplay are "Fifteen","The Story Of Us" and "Safe & Sound".
"Eyes Open" still at #2!!

With all the Taylor love going around, I thought I'd point out that "Safe & Sound" is currently numbers 45 and 50, but if you combine their pop bars, the song is actually at number 13 right now. There's an example of a Taylor song that actually has had longevity despite receiving virtually zero airplay. The video and the Hunger Games movie itself have no doubt helped out in that though.
