Taylor Swift fans in Canada desperate for her new album "1989," which comes out Oct. 27, fell hook, line and sinker for a glitch that allowed them to download a track of white noise.

A song titled "Track 3" appeared for download on the Canadian version of iTunes Tuesday and immediately soared to the top of the singles charts. However, when her loyal "Swifties" fan base listened to the track, it was nothing more than eight seconds of static. At $1.29, listeners were not amused with the error.

Many news outlets and Internet commenters immediately jumped on the chance to jest about the leaked non-track on social media.

Entertainment tweeted, "A brief inventory of Taylor Swift's influences for the 'accidentally leaked' 'Track 3'," while CNN claimed, "Even [Taylor's] silence is golden" as she "conquered" iTunes without saying anything. Other Twitter users mocked the mistake, like @timescanner who said they wanted a 45 of "Track 3" or @huntershwarz who facetiously said the song was "game changing" and claimed "pop music will never be the same."

Ironically, the short track void of music performed better than Swift's last three singles from the album. "Welcome to New York," "Shake It Off" and "Out of the Woods" ranked just below at second, third and eighth, respectively on the Canadian charts when "Track 3" surpassed them.

"Only Taylor Swift could release an eight second clip of static noise and get it to No. 1," @swiftsbabee tweeted with a screenshot of the iTunes chart when she held all three of the top spots.

The track was since been removed from iTunes with no reports on whether the people who purchased "Track 3" were reimbursed for the obvious mistake.

The pop and country singer made no public comments about the mishap, simply continuing to promote the album's upcoming release on her Twitter and Instagram, revealing snippets of lyrics on edited photos to many of the new songs from "1989."
