The Taylor Swift "Rising Up UK iTunes Thread" :D
Since the incident, the song 'You Belong With Me' has been slowly rising up iTunes.
I checked about 5-6 hours ago and it was Number #47, it's now #41. I think this incident will now finally help the single get into the Top 40 and get it noticed. I hope it continues to rise quite a bit.

Good for her, I saw the video for the first time yesterday (considering it won Best Female Video, had to be good) was a pleasant surprise. I don't usually go for that kind of music but it's a lovely song.

I hope this is because more people are discovering her music, and liking it and not sympathy.
I wish her the best of luck. |

I hope this breaks the top 10, for me it's a much better song than Love Story.
I wish she'd have promoted Teardrops on my Guitar, it's one of my fave Taylor tracks along with Picture to Burn, I Heart ? and Change. |

it really annoys me how Radio 1 have refused to playlist her last 2 songs, yet they still play Love Story ALL the time. where's the logic there? i remember a few weeks ago they played You Belong With Me once, and it shot up the iTunes chart hours after (up to around #33), only to fall back down again because that was just about the only time they've ever played it. i know Radio 1 isn't the be-all and end-all of chart positions, but Love Story didn't have any problem in the charts when they playlisted it, so i don't know why they seem to have a problem with her subsequent 2 songs.
for that reason i think Taylor has been plain unlucky over here since the success of Love Story. there's definitely a commercial market in the uk for her music to be successful. i like the touch of country in her songs, not many commercial pop singers around at the moment offer that so she has something there that makes her different from the rest. |

Could a song be more bland and cliched?

Now at #25.
![]() Can't believe Love Story got to #2 and then Teardrops didn't even break the top 100. It's an unbelievable drop. I'd love You Belong With me to get top 10 but I highly doubt it, for some reason she just doesn't seem that popular over here.

Teardrops On My Guitar; 72-57-{51}-58-59-52-66 You Belong With Me; 67-53-52-54-{50}-58-60 I'm unsure if the UK will ever warm to ''Country-Pop'' Love Story was very heavily edited to sound nothing like a country song. |

I love Taylor Swift. I really wanted her to be number one with Love Story back in March but I also loved My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson....
Love Story was #2, My Life Would Suck Without You was #1. But never-the-less, I love Taylor, she's so unique and I like the country pop genre she's kinda created. And Kanye West, in the words of President Obama, is a JACKASS, for stealing Taylor's moment. |

Number #23 now.
It's starting to slow down but is still taking small baby steps up. I think it will peak soon though. |

She did promote 'Teardrops' on Paul 'O Grady..
It did break the top100, it peaked at #50.. You Belong With Me & Teardrops On My Guitar have had a pretty similar chart run... Teardrops On My Guitar; 72-57-{51}-58-59-52-66 You Belong With Me; 67-53-52-54-{50}-58-60 I'm unsure if the UK will ever warm to ''Country-Pop'' Love Story was very heavily edited to sound nothing like a country song. Not surprised it flopped ![]() Although I like "You Belong With Me", I must disagree with a lot of people here and say that I still prefer "Love Story" |

If she releases another single over here I want 'Our Song'.
According to the real midweeks, YBWM is in the top 35 at the least. |
