It's £7.99 on HMV online I'm assuming that is on sale given it was only released physically 2 weeks ago and must have been 9.99 or 10.99 like all new cds.

That's 'folklore' :P 'evermore' (the newest) is £11.99!

💀 at Bieber. Well... it's 2 places higher than 'Lonely' debuted at least! His recent singles have seemed to hold up fairly well so I expect this is one that will grow over time but I really thought from everything I'd heard about this song that it would have got off to a slightly better start.

 

I guess the terrible numbers all around are helping but that's a surprisingly strong showing for MF DOOM/Madvillain, can't see him getting any top 100 singles entries but this should bode well for him appearing somewhere on the albums chart!

 

Also lol @ The Weeknd still being #1 and even The Killers only dropping 1 place.

I am not shocked Bieber is flopping, this is his 4th single release in 4 months, a single per month, along with it being 1st January. That is what you call oversaturation. The first single holy started with a 4.6m global debut, 3 singles later he is down to 2m global debut.

How is debuting in the Top 40 a flop??

Well not a flop, but definetly an underperformance if you consider the numbers at the top and the complete lack of competition.

I know he isn’t at peak popularity now but I also expect a bit better for bieber considering the low numbers needed to peak high currently. I am sure he will climb over the next few weeks still as more awareness of the track picks up but really shows the lack of interest there is right now for new music (outside of chart fans like us)

 

I’d agree with this, ‘Holy’ was well received as well.

 

Plenty of new music for me anyway this week with new KOL and London Grammar plus The Foo Fighters new single!

There's definitely diminishing returns for Bieber which isn't surprising, it happens for anyone over the course of an album campaign (the key example I use is always Rita Ora, Anywhere debuted lower than Your Song despite going on to be a bigger hit!). I did hope for a better debut than this, though, but I think it has lots of potential to grow - I really hope so as this is his best song since Friends for me!

If we're talking about Spotify, Justin Bieber has more monthly listeners than any artist ever has had apart from Ariana Grande so I don't know what peak popularity could be!

Those first day Bieber numbers :( Especially for such a great song - I hope it shows longetivity and becomes the hit it deserves to be :drama:

Why were streaming figures so low yesterday?

'positions' back at #1, BL down to #5

Whoopty #3, Paradise #11

Sweet Melody still #13

Anyone up to #15

Positions back to #1 but with just 209K

Whoopty the highest non-ACR song with 198K

Great climb for Anyone!

bit of a strange pattern for Anyone to climb on day 2... same in the US, where it debited at #9 and today climbed to #1

I wonder if Spotify’s cut off points were a little off. The updates have been really early recently and it seemed weird how NYE songs held up so well yesterday and Justin debuted so low but climbed a lot today

Could be to do with timezones as all daily charts update at the same time, the US must be a day behind? The sporadic stream numbers and movement in the chart at the moment is definitely influenced by the popularity of the party playlists

on Apple, not a lot of love for the Kylie/Dua song :o Bieber up to #11

 

872 -26 Kylie Minogue & Dua Lipa - Real Groove (Studio 2054 Remix)

SZA's Good Days is up to #38 now! :o

Love to see SZA doing well

That's incredible! :wub:
