Katy Perry's Bon Appetite is absolutely bombing everywhere around the world. Is the song really that bad? Even if it was really bad you would think she would have some sort of a fanbase to push it up initially for the first few days. It didn't even reach top 10 on i-tunes in the US at all, no matter how bad it was surely it would be high first and then drop. I know i-tunes doesn't sell as much as it used to but then it should be easier for acts like Katy Perry with such low sales. Her last lead single Roar opened with 557k and this pre album single might only reach 20k. I know sales on i-tunes aren't what they used to be but still they are not that bad. Chart music seems to be dominated by males/dance acts could that be a problem also that its a pretty bad song?

The should have probably pushed Million Reasons (The Andrelli Remix) outside US for Lady Gaga. It probably would have performed a lot better like Summertime Sadness. At least The Cure is doing a bit better

Agree. The Justin Bieber parts are very catchy and commercial sounding. I thought before listening this might be one of those non-commercial urban collaborations that's gone after a week, but I can see this sticking around near the top for a while because of Bieber.

Yes I think it's weird how TV promo doesn't translate into Spotify streams. Will this make TV performances on BGT/X Factor less appealing for artists in the future as they don't really help.

But the way they become irrelevant is when radio doesn't play them. If radio stopped playing Ellie Goulding she would become irrelevant. Any chance they will add Lady Gaga this week? Why is she regarded as irrelevant?

I take it this could be the end of Zayns musical career, this massively underperformed everywhere and this is the lead single. Only the lead single on his last album was a hit, the other singles flopped. No one really seems to care about his music career anymore, there seems to be no interest.

Well she wasn't really an established singer. She only had one hit really and then came back in 2011 with Titanium. No one really knew who she was beforehand.

Is Scared of the Dark getting played by any radio station? Its a solid pop song that should be played on Radio 1/Capital. Its a pity radio are so against older acts (I'm not sure its really age that much because they play Sia but older acts that have been around a long time. I bet if Sia was around 20 years ago she would be not be played now Britney . If Katy Perry/Sia released Scared of the Dark it would be played loads by Radio 1/Capital and would be a huge hit. I'm not sure what it is really? Relevancy/popular to the younger demographic? How did Madonna get hits into her 40's?

Surely Lady Gaga will go top 10 in a week or two if it keeps rising on streaming, increased airplay and if it stays 59p?

But radios don't really look at i-tunes anymore do they? The bad thing about discounting this early is if its only discounted for a week it will then drop off after a week.

This is surely a desperate attempt to get the number 1. I bet they wouldn't have discounted if they weren't so close to number 1. The Cure has only been out 4 days, whats the idea. Would it not be better if it was discounted in a month or something like Symphony when its closer to peaking and higher on Spotify (unless this is going to be a long term situation?). I don't get what the need is already, you'd think it was falling out of the top 40 after a week or something its still number 3.

Is Spotify and streaming in general really corrupt and a bit of a joke, labels paying to be on certain playlists and how high to be up and Spotify themselves deciding what songs should be on playlists. This whole streaming is a joke when you think about it. Talk about manipulation. Compared to the 'sales' era this streaming is a joke.

Ya I always wondered this? Will this always be the way or is there any shift yet? Dance and Urban does a lot better than pop

Why does Rihanna always do so good on Spotify (shes in the same league as Bieber/Drake) compared to other females bar Ariana Grande/Adele. Even Needed Me was a big Spotify hit but only got to 38 in the charts. She always does really well on streaming.

How do people think The Cure will do in the UK? It sounds like a huge hit (the chorus is very catchy and the production is very in at the moment). It could easily be a Chainsmokers song but she hasn't been supported very much in the UK in the last few years for it to be a big hit and she doesn't do well on streaming.

It shows how much the impact of i-tunes has fallen. Lady Gaga has been on top for 3 days and she wont even probably make the top 20. i know she lost 2 days but still

I dont mean generic in terms of production but lyrical content like Just Dance, its very basic and simple lyric wise

This is Just Dance 2.0 in terms of genericness for her standards. This will test if she has a proper pop career anymore, Perfect Illusion and Million Reasons were not very commercial and you could argue thats why they flopped. But if this flops she would seems to be over. Its a bop all the same but extremely generic. Will it be a hit?

Why have the Scottish charts not included streaming yet? Why does Scotland have their own chart? Is this included in the Official UK Chart?

Why isn't Bruno Mars That's What I Like doing better in the UK? it's a big hit worldwide isn't it?

Could they change it before the chart is released on Friday, or if they decide will it be after?

This is a mess..When people used to count how many top 10 singles Madonna, Britney, Michael Jackson etc have, it kind of makes it pointless now

How do you think Lady Gaga will do with Million Reasons after X Factor and being 59p? Is it getting any airplay at all?

I really like that new Britney song.. if only she featured Drake or someone she would be top 10. It wont do anything. It sounds like a hit but alas its Britney and shes not relevant anymore.
