P!nk is the perfect example of an artist who has a loyal (and sizeable) core fanbase but who also appeals greatly to the general public, all her album campaigns have been fairly successful, even the "flop" era of Try This. I'm pretty sure all her albums have been at least Platinum certified?

 

 

James Hype up to #8 now!

So happy this is doing so well and it's not even 59p yet!

I believe Try This has sold around 500k so yeah.

 

It even outsold Can't Take Me Home over here which is on around 400k despite a no.13 peak.

 

That's what I think-does anyone know?

06. James Hype - More Than Friends

That's pretty incredible to see a dance song by an unknown artist this high up the charts. Even if it covers a well known song which is 20 years old this summer. It's still very impressive. Shame it's so short in length.

Pink is losing steam but Dua really did nothing today?. Like 10% total is not enough I think, she must start gaining again.

This. Don't get why it's only 2:20.

Dua at 0.6035 but she's not gaining anymore

James Hype seemingly breaking through in a similar way to Jonas Blue, blowing up amazingly quickly for a totally unknown name with a dance remix of an old song.

Dua at 0.6035 but she's not gaining anymore

I think she'll pick up the pace again on Monday, the weekend's a pretty stale time for new music (hence the weekend effect).

So I've come up with some hypothetical predictions here, no idea what they would add up to until I finished them...

 

So judging by Kworb, P!nk might be able to manage around double the sales of Despacito. Based on last week's sales, this would put her around the 35k sales mark. Streaming-wise, she will be hit by the slow start (even though its fast in terms of a new release) and I'm predicting she'll hit around 1 million streams for the week (which is what #25~ on Spotify would typically get which I think is about what she'll average out at, lower at the beginning of the week e.g. now but higher by the end of the week) which gives her 6.7k sales units.

 

TOTAL: 41.7k

 

I think Dua will be around 0.9 at least by the end of the week on Kworb, so if we take a hypothetical week average I think we're looking at 0.7. That's 24.5k sales. She's going to be looking at 2.6 million streams for the week, which will equal 17.3k sales.

 

TOTAL: 41.8k

 

I promise that wasn't planned! :lol: But I think that's being more optimistic for P!nk than it is for Dua, assuming P!nk will pick up streams very quickly and will stay at iTunes #1 for the entire week. So I think Dua has it in the bag!

I'm really impressed that Pink has managed to come back with such an impact, she really is a strong contender for the most popular female artist of the past couple of decades in the UK. Well, someone who isn't Adele anyway...

I think Pink will do it, Dua isn't increasing at all, That's super weird.

Still think Dua will do it easily

She should do 45k, 30k from streams and 15k from itunes

 

Pink will do 7k streams but even if she kept the pace at itunes, thats 30k

overall, so 37k max

Think it's definitely helped Dua with Pink dropping out the spotify top 50 for today :cheer:

Pink is seriously behind on streams - which is where this battle will ultimately be won IMO
