pie-kun 1,765 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The obvious bias in the articles for Applause and CTTR's debuts Anyways, I'm pretty sure CTTR will be a moderate hit just based on radio + streaming deals alone, but it doesn't seem like it will be the smash that her previous lead singles were. It will be interesting to see how Katy's album sales do without a monster hit preceding them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if it stays top 5 for weeks on its own, i'd be happy, but I don't like the "way" the song debuted just because of those deals. Literally everg major lead single gets a "deal," including Born This Way, Applause, and Perfect Illusion. Without "deals" Applause wouldn't be Top 5 and Perfect Illusion wouldn't be Top 15. I bet you aren't pissed off about that. Congrats to Katy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without "deals" Applause wouldn't be Top 5 and Perfect Illusion wouldn't be Top 15. I bet you aren't pissed off about that. Congrats to Katy! The thing is when a song has like 60M audience on radio and is exposed on every main playlists on Spotify, you would expect at least a top 3 on iTunes, and the fact that it is debuting at #4 with almost the same sales as PI is what pisses me off. Again I really like the song and congrats to her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junolxf 8,654 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This makes me so sad. MR is the only one not in the Billboard Top 10.

Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 LOL @ them saying that Chained To The Rhythm has the highest first week sales of any female lead single since Hello. They probably forgot about Work, Formation, No and Dangerous Woman I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrasher 22,980 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Radio is the cause to everything to me though. Streaming has become way too big for sure, but a song doesn't get plenty of streams if it's not exposed by radio (apart from some exceptions). And the way radios have spun CTTR (for example) it's ridiculous, hope they slow down because it's not doing wonders considering all that payola. “Come over, when you’re sober” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
