Rachel's Wildfire is at #2 behind Adele.

Out Of The Woods seems really low :(

DNCE and Elle King slaying <3

Out Of The Woods seems really low :(

OOTW up now to #54 and in the dark green.

Really worried that Rachel will miss top 10 in USA. She's got next to none promotion and somehow 'Stand By You' is #5 on USA iTunes despite not being high on AirPlay and one live televised performance three weeks ago.

Try three days ago:

 

I never thought Stand By You had any chance of top 10 until now. It's been climbing ridiculously slowly for a follow-up to such a big hit so getting to #5 on iTunes has by far exceeded my expectations. Unless you meant her album missing the top 10?

I actually don't think Wildfire will reach top 10 as well :(

Flop.

I'm actually impressed that 'Stand By You' will go top 30 in the USA, she will no longer be a US one hit wonder, for somebody her age she's doing a remarkable job of remaining relevant right now, her performances always get such a massive boost, 'Fight Song' being top 25 after this amount of time is incredible. I'm guessing the empowering messages behind her song actually work.

 

I actually don't think Wildfire will reach top 10 as well :(

 

I think Wildfire might not peak this week but it could peak further down the line, the amount of stability her EP had was incredible and it sold very well. She's not exactly got a fan base and because 'Stand By You' is only picking up now I can see casual consumers purchasing the album down the line. I hope pop starts supporting 'Stand By You' more because it's got incredibly poor callout scores, thank god for HAC.

05. Rachel Platten - Stand By You

23. Rachel Platten - Fight Song

 

It always surprises me how much of a positive affect that Rachel gets after performing on live television, 'Fight Song' went top #3 following a performance on Ellen months after release and 'Stand By You' randomly going top 13 on iTunes. I really hope Rachel has more live performances for 'Stand By You' because 'Stand By You' could be a massive hit.

It surprises me too because her songs are so basic.

Maybe being "basic" is what the charts are lacking? 'Fight Song' and 'Stand By You' are such incredible upbeat pop anthems and it's good to see that the public are there for her.
