After the release of Taylor Swift's Fearless album, a number of its tracks made the Hot 100 from digital sales. One of them was "Forever & Always", which debuted on the November 29, 2008, chart at #49 and fell off the chart the following week. A year later the "Platinum Edition" of the album was released. Six of its audio tracks were not on the original Fearless album. Five of these were brand new songs, and each sold enough digital downloads to debut in the Top 40 on the November 14, 2009, Hot 100. The sixth new track was the "Piano Version" of "Forever & Always", which sold enough downloads for the song to re-enter the chart at #34. The following week it fell to #100, after which it fell off the chart, never to return. I consider the "Piano Version" to be the Top 40 hit, because the only week that the song charted in the Top 40 it did so almost entirely from digital sales of this version. I don't believe any version of this song was ever promoted to radio. |

What's the difference between the piano version and the album version? I dont think ITUNES has the song anymore so I cant do any comparisons.... ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

The only instrumentation on the piano version is a piano and a string section. By the way, in the 24 hours since my initial post above, Taylor Swift has accumulated an additional 16 Hot 100 entries. |
