pop princess ariana gronday is coming back this friday with a new single that kinda sounds like a knockoff of "problem". where will it chart? will it de-weave justin bieber's #2 position?

i'm thinking #3, 65k, she seems to have a big fanbase even in the uk but probably not enough for justin's/adele's 2nd week sales

I voted #2 65-100k! Ariana is coming to slay the charts!

Without basing it on very much I predict 6-10, possibly top 5 with around 50k.

#2 with a 70k debut.

Have you guys heard the snippets? http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=181081&pid=5219191&st=20&#entry5219191

IT'S A HUGE SONG OMG radio will eat it up like Problem! And imagine if she can get a performance on the X Factor with her iconic whistle register multi-octave voice and new platinum hair!?

Ariana is a HUGE streaming force and Arianators will Spotify this to the top of the charts!

#3 and 50-75k, behind Adele and Justin. I can see her streaming being quite high as well as her sales!

Hopefully she'll flop and go back under whatever rock she crawled out from, taking her brother with her.

Realistically, somewhere top 5.

'Problem' was hardly the most inspired of songs (although did eventually grow on me a lot) so why does this have to be another copy of what was essentially a copy? 'Love Me Harder' or 'One Last Time' part 2 would be preferable.

Anyway, this should go Top 5 with ~50k+. Ariana does have good streams, as demonstrated by 'Love Me Harder' having I think over half its sales total made up from streams, so she'll probably end up debut Top 20 on the streams chart.

I hope it can reach 2 but I imagine #3 with about 55k.

Posted by: FranCAMstein 27th October 2015, 03:16 PM

#5 with 27k

#2 with 60-70k

I can see her going in at #3 behind Adele and Justin (who will by this time built up streams and staying steady as a result of it).

Can see it having a total of around 55k-60k, probably just a bit less than Justin is looking at for this week.

I don't think her fanbase is that large in the UK? I mean "Problem" did really well first week being a held-back release, but her other singles failed to set the charts alight in terms of positions (they had good longevity/sold decently though).

I think #6-#10 with ~35-40k sold.

Top 10, maybe top 5. I'm gonna go with #6.

Posted by: Dobweb 27th October 2015, 07:28 PM

Outside top 10, 35k.

Posted by: Envoirment 6th November 2015, 06:42 PM

#10 with ~32k sold. Didn't perform as most people expected.
