Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records, but it's been a good minute since one of her singles has swept country radio. Or, as Swift herself put it in a note that appeared in Monday's edition of industry trade Country Aircheck“man, it's been a while.” This week, Swift's “I Knew It, I Knew You” from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack was the first song by a woman in history to close out the panel on impact: meaning, every single country radio station reporting to Mediabase signed on to play the song, in the very first week.

The music sounds serene with spongy guitar and angelic backing vocals when Interpol frontman Paul Banks sings, “This mirror weighs a ton, but at least we act sudden” with staccato conviction. That turn of phrase, which gives both the band’s eighth album and lead track its title, This Mirror Weighs a Ton, frankly doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, and that’s sort of the point since Banks came up with it while improvising the melodies and vocals simultaneously. It’s highly refined automatic writing, and the band said it sets up the rest of the album, due out Aug. 28.…
