I checked UK iTunes and she still has banner (not main but left one, and is listed under Hot Songs). But now I'm not sure if they didn't update it yet or she kept it

Hm i wonder if that means there won't be a pre order launched tonight. but if they got the banner to stay another week close to the front that's also good promo by interscope

She's doing the same or slightly better than Applause on itunes with way less promo so it's safe to say it'll at least be an Applause sized hit.

Oh okay, got it. So the first day deal and impact date are different things, and its's the deal that makes the rolling effect not the impact.

Yes, the impact date is when the song is officially added to radio stations but it's usually irrelevant because radio stations start playing the songs when the are released, especially when they are songs by big names.

The radio deal is a deal the artist makes with the radio stations to play their song a lot to introduce it to the public and it usually lasts a day. Of course these plays are inflating the airplay numbers and that's why in the 8th day most of the time the rolling effect happens and the song gets a massive negative airplay update.

If that is true and our bottom is the performance of Applause then we can celebrate already but let's not hype ourselves to end up dissapointed.

Do you think the album name/date announcement and the cover release will have any influence on sales of PI? It is all generating a TON of press and she is trending on FB again with 400k+ people talking about her, also trending on Google News.

Not right away. As she adds more to promote the album it'll help though-- If they do internet ads featuring PI promoting the entire album release, etc.

I SHAZAM'd it twice today 

 

Mostly because I wanted to see how many times it increased since I checked it a couple days ago.

I reckon it might help a little if nothing, as most of the articles I've been reading have the YT Audio embedded after and/or iTunes link to the song.

Most reference how well she's doing on radio so far too which is nice after they bashed her for years for NOT smashing radio.

I also think a pre-order soon will help just to generate buzz about the entire era, and unpopular opinion but i think releasing a promo single immediately with pre-order would be helpful. It would need to be a complete non single though. They pick too strong of promo tracks.

Largely thanks to fans Interscope has a lot to push radio with. Laundry list of early successes to justify more spins. It's clearly working on some like Z100

I finally heard it for the first time since Friday today on radio. TWICE! On a different radio station than I heard it on Friday.

 

After the second time I heard it today the host came on talking about the album release date/name and describing the cover. She also said she was a huge fan of Gaga and can't wait for the new abum. Get dat promo Kween.
