Yeh, thought he entered a lot higher usually. Sams ahead of Calvin on downloads too - think Sam/Normani is hitting the public more - both look set to get huge airplay anyway!

Sam is not hitting the public more, Sam has a deal with Spotify and he's always promoted like hell, he's super high on all playlists already

Calvin is super high on all the playlists TOO...

Sam does better atm in all platforms, must have hell of a deals all over the place.

As is Calvin though!

 

Spotify playlists positioning is t EVERYTHING - the song still must be appealing!! It's like getting guaranteed Capital and radio 1 A listing doesn't mean ALWAYS a high chart position.

it's not everything but sure it helps and without it sure you're gonna chart lower

I'm one of them, what are you gonna do?

stop doing it :w00t:

I'm certainly not going to stream Wasteoflife instead. :lol:

I'd say it's the opposite, some very few indie acts think outside the box and be successful like Radiohead

most indie bands repeat their formula to infinity and beyond releasing the same album again and again cos fans buy it anyway (Oasis, Muse etc)

You can't tell me Radiohead haven't followed a similar formula for decades :lol: I mean I like them and everything, but I don't understand why their fans praise them like they're Gods - most of their most popular songs aren't too far detatched from generic 2000's indie rock.

Find me the people who think Westlife release interesting and exciting music

it's not everything but sure it helps and without it sure you're gonna chart lower

 

Same could be said for lack of Heart/Radio 1/Capital support for your single!

I'm certainly not going to stream Wasteoflife instead. :lol:

I actually laughed at that surprisingly

Example not very popular anymore

He hasn't had a top 10 single since 2014

Edited January 12, 20196 yr by ElectroBoy

now 143,889

 

Over 10,000 in a day is pretty impressive for a forgotten flop that was almost at the bottom of the playlist.

148,212 now! G'won Lisa, get that 150k *.* :lol:

 

Rather oddly Too Far Gone & Lately are only 6th & 7th in her popular Top 10 list, behind four of her album tracks.

Sam/Calvin non movers

Shotgun top 10 again

Weeknd 13

Shallow 20 😍

Catfish 26

Lewis (someone you loved) 50

That's quite a drop for Catfish but still much higher than one would have expected!

Lost In The Fire is quite a good tune, I really like it but I've never heard of Gesaffelstein, its a first for me.

but the lyrics are unnecessarily PORN :o
