Hector Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The Sales 'Story' … The new re-recording, which was released on Feb. 12, sold 10,000 downloads in the U.S. that day, according to initial reports to MRC Data. As for the original version of "Love Story," it sold about 200 downloads in the U.S. on Feb. 12. In the week leading up to the release of the re-recording’s release, the original version had been selling a negligible amount on a daily basis. Through Feb. 4, the original "Love Story" had sold 6.13 million downloads in the U.S. And Now, The Radio 'Story' … As for radio airplay in its first day, "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" — which is not being actively promoted to radio stations — drew 144 plays on Feb. 12 on 89 stations that report to Billboard's all-genre, audience-based Radio Songs chart, a sum that translates to 777,000 audience impressions. Leading the way among those 144 plays, 83 were on reporters to the Pop Airplay chart, 34 were on Adult Pop Airplay reporters and 12 were on Country Airplay panelists. The new take drew more than twice as many plays as the original on Feb. 12, which logged 67 plays yesterday on Radio Songs reporters. Adult Contemporary chart reporters accounted for 25 of those spins, followed by Country Airplay panelists contributing 12. While the new version attracted 777,000 in audience impressions on Feb. 12, the original drew 227,000. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9526014/taylor-swift-love-story-re-recording-sales-first-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just now, Likingstars said: Are they gonna count this version together with the OG version or separate? Re-recordings of older songs or albums are treated separately from their originals, with independent chart histories for each version. Thus, Fearless (Taylor's Version) and "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" will chart separately from Swift's original 2008 recordings of the album and song, respectively.

BeingRicardo Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 They combine versions on the HOT 100 and just the biggest one is counted, why would they do different this time around? Also remixes are always counted as total sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Togekiss Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 So 1989's chart run is gonna be so butchered the original will stop charting and it will stop racking in weeks. what a mess red and 1989 need to be combined bc those are the only ones that regularly chart, so their chart runs are gonna be split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give featured credits when they want. They aren’t even reliable. hopefully she doesn’t re-release 1989 soon.

Poor miss Fearless, RED and 1989. On the bright side this means Taylor could earn up to 13 #1 albums in the next 2 years if she plays her cards right.

The dumb locals and the fans that prefer the ogs are gonna continue to stream them. Especially if they dont switch them out on curated playlists. 1989 might have 2 versions chart simultaneously forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Near Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 It would be better for them to count them as the same version as otherwise she will have an abnormally large ammount of chart entries in the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unchained Melody was re recorded and charted separately too. So no they aren’t nit picking they have done this before. I think it has to do with all 3 songs in this case being actually re recorded in their entirety and re released. Remixes aren’t rerecordings. But yeah her Hot 100 entries about to blast Edited February 14, 2021 by Cockney Cupcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
