Ouch to 1D falling to #3

They're actually doing very well considering everything

^ why ouch? A lot of people were expecting a non-top-10 for a song by now!

Even though they fell, they'll still secure #1 for tomorrow

The song has almost been out a week, to still be #3 is actually pretty decent and suggests a certain amount of crossover (fan base buys will have died off within the first 24 hours).

 

With airplay beginning to kick in from R1 next week they are likely to hold up reasonably well I'd thought.

Even though they fell, they'll still secure #1 for tomorrow

 

Exactly, so surely that defies any logic in your previous post?

Judge this 1D song sales performance against their others. The opposition is so weak, relative measures aren't that meaningful.

 

Oh and nice to see Glitterball up to #2 again. It has the potential to hang around and build off streaming, for a while yet.

haters gonna hate B-)

Selena / A$AP Rocky are now at #24! So glad there's been another resurgence for this.

21 Selena Gomez

Mexican Madonna coming for BLOOD

Looks like Calvin Harris has another #2 peaking track on his hands then. Must be very annoying

Yes, because he has so few #1s :kink:

CFMF is top 5 on sales and Top 3 on Spotify (Almost number 2). What a great song..

I don't view One Direction falling to third with practically no AirPlay as a flop, they're number one for sure this week and I reckon they'll hold up for a top five easily enough when AirPlay picks up next week. They were itunes number one almost all sales week. It's not like 5SOS who were only there for like a day.

 

I see Peanut Butter Jelly is beginning to rise after being played a couple of times on Radio One today. Expecting it to properly hit its stride when the B listing kicks in on Monday.

I think they'll be low top-10 or top-15 next week. But it is still good for a second week of a track on streaming. Just look at where is 'She's Kinda Hot' now!

I can see them still being top 5 actually - it's obviously still dropping now but airplay will start kicking in and they'll have the #1 effect tomorrow, plus their streaming, whilst falling, is still good! Either way I can't see it dropping out of the top 10.

20 Selena

 

:cheer:

I'm glad Selena's finally picking up. Don't really care for her but it was bizarre to see the song languishing so low considering its success in the US and I'd certainly rather see this do well than 'Cool For The Summer'.

It's a shame she won't make the top 40 this week, but it should be a certainty next week now, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed she picks up some commercial airplay now it's top 20.
