Chart Discussion: The Cure / Joanne

[Freddy 4,421]

When Shape of You got its FIRST negative update his label announced and sent his second single so radios could start switching their spins.

When will Interscope ? If the third single was already announced at least some stations would switch already.

The discounts this week and Coachella buzz (and probable VEVO uploads) will push Joanne back to being the top selling album by a woman this year. For how long, not sure, but at least until May.

And actually on a note less focused on a debate based on an alternate reality, MR could be her last single to pass 1M due to industry trends. Crazy to think about!

it probably will be , sales are dying incredibly fast.

 Katy's lead has yet to reach 400k sales (no shade here ) and some songs that spent more than 10 weeks in the top 10 never reached 1m sales.

[viniferrett 16,684]

Side to side sold 1M and MR almost 900k 

I mean....

Yup. Which makes MRs sales great since it's bigger than a lot of radio smashes. It did alright on pop and good on HAC, but not a runaway airplay monster like some songs that sold less.

Queen of Sales

[Americano 31,061]

Queen of Tour Sales - Sold out stadium tour

Queen of Single Sales - 1M+ single, biggest by a woman this year

Queen of Album Sales - 500k+ pure album, about to be the biggest by a woman this year again 

Queen of Adults - Top 3 HAC peak 

 

any questions?

I still think 7,99 is not that 'low' for a standard version. The best option would have been 4.99.

And considering Closer is even in the 1M range, I'd love to know your definition of a big hit

Closer is at 2.6 Million. It's been a while since you checked hasn't it.

i think they shouldve done 6.99 so it could go inside the POP HITS mini banner

[JustAnotherDay 8,402]

I mean realistically though, no other female has had as much buzz as Gaga in 2017. 

[Americano 31,061]

BTW:

Joanne 7.99 Brazil iTunes, all Joanne tracks 0.99; 9.00 in Swiss

She's also discounted on Mexico, but I dont know the conversion so I'll just leave it at that

Grigio Girls doesnt need any preceding airplay from MR to build off of

Really as long as it's still rising on HAC I completely understand why they aren't moving on right away. It's not even uncommon for labels to wait weeks or even months after a single starts falling on a radio format to announce and push the next single, I don't know why everyone is so dramatic about it.
