Taylor Swift wracks up another number one

Tuesday, August 12, 2008 – Taylor Swift is holding down the number one position atop both country radio and sales charts this week, with two different songs. Should've Said No, the fifth single from her triple platinum-plus debut CD, leapt from fifth to first this week on both the Billboard Country Singles Chart and the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart. Should've Said No is Swift's second number one that she wrote entirely on her own. Last year she made history when, at age 17, she became the youngest person to single-handedly write and sing a number 1 country single. Our Song spent 6 weeks atop the country charts.

This week also finds Swift with the top iTunes Country Single, with a song that was only available for download as of last Friday. Change will appear on her sophomore CD "Fearless." Swift wrote the song about overcoming challenges and achieving and celebrating victory, and Team USA and NBC selected it to be one of a few songs used as the soundtrack for daily video highlights shown during NBC's broadcast of the 2008 Olympic Games. "Fearless" will be released on Big Machine Records on Nov. 11 with pre-sale starting Aug. 22.
