"You are the best thing that's ever been mine," Swift sings on the track, the lead single from her upcoming album, "Speak Now." Released 12 days ahead of schedule, the track was delivered to radio and iTunes on Wednesday.

Big Machine Records, Swift's record label, said they wanted the fans to hear the song in its proper form. They're doing it in droves. After just a few hours on iTunes, the song hit #1 with a bullet on the digital chart.

It's also already charting on country radio. After just hours in rotation, "Mine" is already climbing up the Top Country Songs chart. A big debut is expected for the single on the Billboard Hot 100 next week.

Swift's third album, "Speak Now," is still on track for an October 25th release, save for any leaks. The album is set to feature 14 new songs all written by Swift.
