Im not sure why its depressing. Shes actually holding pretty well on iTunes relative to airplay.

how can you say that its not depressing when the singles is falling on the official charts

staying stable on iTunes is great but going top 40 on BBH100 is better

this is so depressing 

the single isnt taking off even after all the performances, (very bad) music video, discounts, our shazaming parties & our radio push

hopefully i'm proved wrong in january

The song did very well on iTunes off the back of all the performances she did, but performances only have temporary boosts. It's unrealistic to expect it to stay top ten on iTunes when her airplay is as low as it is.

It's December. Not a normal time for radio. We can't rationally tell how it's gonna do just yet.

BBC Radio 2 just playlisted Million Reasons straight to B-List.

[JustAnotherDay 8,402]

The monopoly Radio 1 has on the whole music industry in the U.K. is scary, good that she got playlisted by Radio 2. I'm ready for it to show its potential and quickly get A-Listed on every station.

Yup. UK market is easy to rig against an artist if someone decides they don't like that artist.

This reminds of me of Like I'm Gonna Lose You. That song took forever to smash, but it eventually did! Dont give up yet, MR could still smash!

And everytine I mentioned over the last two years that album sales and digital sales will die out in about 10 years people would laugh. If any product is experiencing a 20% sales decline year after year how long before that product disappears? 

[Americano 31,061]

Now we just need KIIS LA to add MR and NRJ to playlist her

Well we have iHeart media in the US and it's definitely a monopoly.
