He re-uploaded the album with a new track 1.

What's with all these random Wednesday/Thursday releases lately? :unsure:

No idea! So stupid imo - they're missing out on a couple of thousand of initial sales that could help them all debut top 40 :unsure:

 

(though in this case I expect Lana, Paramore and Shawn will all be top 40 a week tomorrow anyway)

So where do we think these early new releases can debut officially next week? (a week tomorrow's chart)

 

I'd say Lana and Shawn should be good for top 20 - and Paramore might scrape top 40? Lust For Life could be top 10 depending on Spotify support.

I think Thursday releases actually do help with songs sometimes as it gives them a headstart of a few days on Spotify, before the weekend effect kicks in and sends them tumbling down.

Very weird indeed but we also had some early releases when Sunday was the release day (Fridays, Saturdays).

I can only imagine that some artists/labels think if they release a day or two earlier they could have from Friday onwards better streaming numbers by showing the songs a bit earlier. :unsure:

in Mendes case, I think he should have waited til Friday, midweek releases help indie or small artists but big pp singles don't need it

Two versions in the top 40 now! Makes him #4 combined, selling 0.75 of the #1 :o

I'd agree with this. preddix for next week:

 

Shawn: Top 5

Lana: #33

Paramore: #45

Shawn will be no 1 next week officially 100% I'll eat my hat if he isn't.

 

I can see him getting to #1 on iTunes by the end of today too.

The Thursday release for Shawn could probably set him up nicely from a streaming POV where songs can take some time to scale the top 50 - he could already be there in time for Friday/ the weekend before being added onto new music playlists etc.
Woah do we really think Shawn can manage a #1/top 5 debut? :o I didn't realise he was THAT big! I'd say he could manage top 15 but then again I haven't heard the song yet so idk if it sounds like a smash :D

Yeah I was thinking a #1 debut is a bit optimistic too. I mean I know sales are on the low side right now and the song does sound like a hit but I think a low Top 10 debut is more realistic.

Shawn will most probably make top 10 but #1 is a bit optimistic for sure imo :P

100% listen to the track and then you'll realise it's a HUGE summer fresh hit.
