The stats accuracy isn't great in the opening section. The page states 8 million worldwide, then links to /info/en/?search=List_of_best-selling_singles, which states 6.5 million worldwide.
Oh I think I worked it out - it is only listed on that page as a digital single, not in the normal single category. This is still pretty confusing?

Including the pop mix in the infobox is excessive. If you add the pop mix, then you pretty much have to add every mix sent to radio and that is too much for an infobox. Besides, it's more than obvious that the pop mix is pop music. Pretty self-explanatory. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 01:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
The name of the freaking song is 'Love Story (Pop Mix) Single. And you're use of fusion genres is ridiculous; it does not cover both. It covers the fusion genre of 'country pop', not 'country' or 'pop'.
Love Story was featured as the love theme for the movie shouldn't that be noted? JamesAlan1986 ( talk- Contributes) 07:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Hmmm well obviously the Letters to Juliet page didn't feel that way cause it's mentioned on there and if it's pointless to mention it in the song's page isn't pointless to mention it on the movie's page? JamesAlan1986 ( talk- contribs) 11:34, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Is Love Story Taylor's Version considered a single or promotional single? The song has not been sent to radio so far. The k nine 2 ( talk) 16:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
There has been some dispute as to whether " Love Story (Taylor's Version)" is a single from Fearless (Taylor's Version). "Love Story" has been referred to as a single by Billboard, Variety, Rolling Stone and NME, which are all reliable sources that have a great reputation on music Wikipedia. I see no reason why it shouldn't be referred to as a single by Wikipedia, yet a surprising amount of editors think it's a promo single. @ MaranoFan, Nahnah4, Bradford, BawinV, LOVI33, Annaoue, JackReynoldsADogOwner, and Dylxpedia: Pinging active (edited in the last three days) WP:SWIFT members so we can build a consensus as to the status of "Love Story (Taylor's Version)". Update: just to add more depth to my argument, WP:SINGLESCRIT (first section, point 3) states that a song can be listed as a single if it is referred to as such by an authoritative, music-oriented media outlet. We have four of them. D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 21:46, 27 March 2021 (UTC) (updated 22:18, 27 March 2021 (UTC))
On Thursday (Feb. 11), Swift announced that she has re-recorded her blockbuster 2008 album Fearless, as Fearless (Taylor's Version), and that the updated lead single, “Love Story (Taylor's Version),” will be unveiled on Thursday night (Feb. 11).
The first single from the album will be out Thursday night at midnight. It’s “Love Story,” just as the first version of that song was the lead single from the first version of the album in ’08.
Taylor Swift has released the full version of her re-recording of “Love Story,” the first single from her updated recording of her 2008 album Fearless. The new version of the song was first teased in a commercial for Match.
With the release ‘Love Story (Taylor’s Version)’ today, and ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ due out in April, here’s everything we learned from Swift’s latest single. D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 22:01, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
"You All Over Me" has also been confirmed as a single by multiple reliable sources, but that’s not important right now. There are many digital-only singles, but they’re singles nonetheless. It doesn’t matter how a single is promoted, if sources call it a single, it should be listed as a single. Three out of the four sources refer to it as the lead/first single from Fearless (Taylor's Version), and the other source just refers to it as a single in general. As well, she released three singles from both her albums within a month and a half of each other, both times (" Cardigan" on July 27, " Exile" on August 3 and " Betty" on August 17, and " Willow" on December 11, " No Body, No Crime" on January 11 and " Coney Island" on January 18), so I can’t seem to wrap my head around how she doesn’t want to risk overexposure when she has released eight (including " The 1" and " Gasoline") singles in six months. D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 01:18, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
I find it weird that Wikipedia editors like to decide, on their own terms, whether a song is a promotional single or not when major music publications who have insiders within the industry providing them with information has clearly stated that the song is clearly a single. "Only the Young" was listed as a promotional single because Taylor herself said it was not going to be a single. If publications like Billboard and Rolling Stone has called "Love Story" a single, then I don't see why anyone else would think otherwise. There is no point in being dogmatic and we have no place trying to decide the status of the song and ignoring the sources which have been provided in our faces so conveniently. Let's leave it at that. Cheers. Nahnah4 ( talk | contribs) 08:38, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Disagree, Love Story Taylor's Version should be a promo single as it was never sent to radio and received very little promotion. Sour Candy (Lady Gaga and Blackpink song) similarly has a promo single graphic, charted well internationally, even its own lyric video, but is classified as a promo single as it was never sent to radio. Previous Taylor singles (such as Getaway Car and No Body, No Crime are classified as singles as they were released to radio. The k nine 2 ( talk) 18:49, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

There is no point in being dogmatic and we have no place trying to decide the status of the song and ignoring the sources which have been provided in our faces so conveniently. I’m definitely not backing down anytime soon, as shown above with my lengthy paragraphs, and, even after comments made by other editors, I still see no valid reason why this song should be listed as anything but a single. I’m surprised that I needed to make a whole talk section about this in the first place. The song was referred to as a single by multiple reliable music-based sources, so I think we should label it as a single. D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 15:36, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
Per WP:NSONGS different recordings of same song do not get separate articles. Richhoncho ( talk) 21:56, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Songs with notable cover versions are normally covered in one common article about the song and the cover versions. If we take a look at cover version, we can see that it specifies that a cover is a
new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a song. That is not the case here. Here, we are dealing with a re-recording, which is a
recording produced following a new performance of a work of music. Past the technicalities, the song is still notable enough to have its own page per NSONGS, as it is and will continue to be the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published, independent-of-the-subject sources, it has charted in many countries, and there is enough coverage in the sources provided to warrant an article.
