Taylor Swift may be just days away from scoring one of the biggest songs in the United Kingdom – not with a brand new release, but with a slightly-refreshed version of a recent smash.
Her hit “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone, is on track to reenter the weekly rankings across the Atlantic (and possibly in the U.S. as well) thanks to a collectible pressing.
The duo’s single was re-released for Record Store Day 2025, and while exact sales data hasn’t been published yet, there’s already a strong indication that “Fortnight” performed exceptionally well.
The Official Charts Company in the U.K. has the tune sitting at No. 2 on its first look, a preview of what’s likely to appear on the full roster when it updates this coming Friday.
That placement suggests that the special edition sold enough to push the song back into the top tier of the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the country.
The current prediction leaves Swift and Malone just one space shy of reclaiming the top spot, and depending on how the rest of the week shakes out, “Fortnight” could still leap into first place.
Even if it doesn’t quite return to No. 1, a reappearance at No. 2 – or anywhere inside the top 10 –would be an impressive feat for a tune that originally hit the summit in 2024. The song has been absent from the Official Singles chart for some time now, so even a near-miss would be huge.
A white vinyl 7-inch of the song was made available exclusively to purchase in brick and mortar record stores to celebrate Record Store Day.
On side A is the original version of the track, while the B-side features a remix by Blond:Ish, and the wax release is the first time that specific reworking has been made available on vinyl.
That small detail might seem trivial, but when it comes to Swift’s discography, even the most minor changes can drive sales.
“Fortnight” was always going to sell well. It’s a Swift release, after all. The singer-songwriter has a long track record of moving enormous numbers of every project she touches, and fans often rush to collect whatever she drops—even when it’s a variation they’ve technically already heard. This 7-inch pressing was produced in fairly large quantities for a Record Store Day item, so it’s safe to assume it sold briskly, especially considering Swift’s usual pull.
