Actually if you look at the Official Streaming Chart which just counts every chart eligible stream on every platform as 1 with no weighting, “APT” was already #1 last week. Thanks to its excellent YouTube performance no doubt, which is down-weighted by the OCC for non subscribers. But it’s just not true that its streams are mediocre - it’s being listened to more than any other song in the country.

if you go to Alexa and ask: play music, Alexa plays Apt

Apt had been literally 1+2 on Amazon for months

 

while on Spotify, True has been doing 200,000 more daily streams, thats 50% more, not a little bit more

 

But it hasn't? :lol: It's had two versions top 10 for a while and has spent some time at #1 but not 1+2 for months. "Die With A Smile" has had more time at #1 there than "APT."!

 

Also youtube is too often ignored. "APT." is doing peak-level youtube views - it's been a while since we've seen a song do such huge sustained views there. (Will also note "Die With A Smile" has been doing very impressive youtube views, although overshadowed by "APT."). It's the 4th fastest song to reach 900 million views behind "Shape Of You", "Hello" & "Despacito" - crazy. Will likely be top 5 fastest to 1 billion as well.

 

Go "APT"! :cheer:

 

Edit: Just noticed the CD on her store is UK customers only currently - has this always been that way? Or have they made it that way to try and make sure they don't run out to get to #1 in the UK? *_*

The CD has always been a UK exclusive

I also thought the label was smart and knew the target audience

no point in releasing 9 vinyl colour variants if you're audience is the Karens that still buy CDs

 

 

Oi! Flipping cheek! :lol:

 

I bought vinyl the first time round thank you very much :coffee:

Gracie has polarized Buzzjack with that dire hit.

 

Both APT. and Messy deserved #1.

Nothing wrong with Gracie, if it was that bad it wouldn't be number 1 for 8 weeks.
