SWIFT BUSINESS: “Mine,” the first single from Taylor Swift’s third Big Machine album, Speak Now, was rush-released yesterday to iTunes and Country radio after an unauthorized low-quality MP3 file appeared online. Less than 24 hours later, the song went to #1 at the online Apple store. A twangy return to the superstar’s country roots, "Mine" is available for purchase here. Speak Now hits retail Oct. 25, and starting Aug 20, will be available for pre-sale at www.SpeakNow13.com. (8/5p)
