i fear their dropping free signed 7”s to indie record stores 🫩. convenient.

Wouldn't make any difference unless it affected their streaming as that's all that counts towards ACR.

the sales wouldnt get affected if the song went on acr but when the song is on decline or scr, sales still count iirc.

Sales only count as they are, DCL is decided based on streams only, so unless it affects the streaming (unlikely), the sales could be massive (again unlikely), but it'd still go to ACR unless streaming increases.

Pure sales don’t count towards the SCR/ACR rule

Choosin Texas saved by the market average?

Choosin Texas saved by the market average?

The streaming market dropped by 2.202% this week.

The overall total for Choosin Texas dropped by 2.14% - of course ACR is determined by streaming numbers only - we don't have a breakdown of streams and downloads so very close but DanG estimates it just avoided

I hope so to !

choosin texas was in steady growth beforehand iirc tho so its not like its in complete danger

Narrr come on let's at least allow Rein Me In to get to 26 weeks, a cool benchmark.

Why 26?

Half a year.

Bloodstream seems to have avoided based on today’s chart update

no clue how ;-;

It should hopefully last quite a while now. Part of the reason it's been consistently back to SCR over the years is that after its release Gaga went through an album campaign and earlier this year Bruno went through one - both of which boosted the song/kept it higher for longer. Plus their subsequent tours boosted the song as well.

Gaga and Bruno don't seem to have anything that will boost it soon... Although watch them announce a collab album or something with it included.

The main reason is simply because it's so incredibly easy for a song to go back on SCR and then incredibly difficult for it to then go back on ACR. It's also the sort of song that could get a boost from anywhere really, big winter advert, something random on TikTok and then boom 6 more months on SCR easily 🤣
