That is lame, if it's true. I really can't believe that article, "Obsessed" has been taking off for a while now. Wouldn't they announce it was a "buzz" single after it had flopped? Maybe they're aiming for a #1 off the lead single, just to add to her achievements. I tell you, if the source is correct, it just makes MC and IDJ look like fools.

+112 spins on Pop! Insane! It's now #27 on Pop, and looks like it's going top 5 Rhythmic shortly. I knew Pop would catch on eventually...

Isn't it losing spins on other formats though? I was looking at the chartings on Billboard and she's definitely losing spins somewhere. :(

I knew she lost some last week on Urban, but they can sometimes tire of songs before jumping back on them. Today's update was strong all round.

 

#6 Rhythmic (+65 spins, +0.802 AI)

#13 Urban (+33 spins, +0.322 AI)

#25 Urban AC (+3 spins, +0.018 AI)

#27 Pop (+112 spins, +0.672 AI)

 

I can't believe how well it's started doing on Pop. And DAMN has "Obsessed" stayed consistent on iTunes.

Today she had her biggest day at radio since leak week so... :P 13 and 139 on iTunes presently.

I've only just noticed the caption under your name, Jark. LOL. Great.

Oh well this is positive news, Top10 at SOME POINT please! Oh I know, I do love a bit of screeching "HE'S ALL UP IN MY GEORGE FOREMAN!" as I clean the kitchen.

LOL, it's great how such a simple line can be so effective.

LOL i THOUGHT thats what she said.....but i don't get it.....whats it supposed to mean??? :huh:

George Foreman puts his name on BBQs and grills, the phrase 'all up in my grill' means 'in my face/my business'. :heehee:

I love the line but I swear i can only hear "All up in my George Fore"...seems to be missing a man on the end....

I read somewhere this will be digital only in the UK. :o

Not surprising, next to nowhere bothers selling physicals these days. By the way, just so there's no cofusion:

 

This is still the official lead single from Memoirs. It is NOT a 'buzz' track!

I'm glad about that! It really didn't deserve to be a buzz single.

#6 Rhythmic (+58 spins, +0.602 AI)

#13 Urban (+29 spins, +0.190 AI)

#25 Urban AC (+2 spins, -0.027 AI)

#26 Pop (+63 spins, +0.280 AI)

 

Another GREAT update. ^_^

Ok I am insanely late... but I LOVE this now. Best single from her in yearz!

 

I loathed it at first.

Obsessed slips a position on digital songs to #13 this week but its sales are up by 2%. The CD single, exclusive to Walmart, sold over 8,000 copies adding that number to her digital sales total, whilst airplay is up over 8.5m on last week. She's looking at #12 on the Hot 100 probably...

#11! Top 10 seems almost certain for next week now. 11-20-17-14-14-11. :D

Great to see it back up! Really hope it can climb top 10 next week. :D

Physical sales:

(01) 01 OBSESSED 5,298 (-36%) (8,266) 14,667

 

Digital sales:

(13) 11 OBSESSED 71,812 (-2%) (73,123) 526,749

 

Airplay: 09 Obsessed (+7.6 million)

Streaming: #29

 

It's touch and go for that top 10. It did well to sell another 5,000 of the physical given that only the fanbase really buys the CD single these days, and a 2% digital decrease is far better than expected given the iTunes average of 13/14 all week. She's back up to #12 on iTunes today and still storming up radio so even if it's not top 10 this week I think she'll make it next week...

 

:heehee:
