Born To Slay 10,996 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The Cure, with a discount, has managed to remain top 10 in the U.K. Should she discount The Cure in America? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delulu Rogers 7,210 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 There was a time she didn't have to do discounts for her to be in the top ten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeshy Keety 9,908 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It hasn't been 2 weeks, and she shows definite promise with this single. The UK might be taking it in faster, but that doesn't mean its chance is blown here They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, right this very moment. I prepared beautiful graphs showing the clear effect sale pricing had on million reasons' radio performance along with a written article, which i haven't published yet because I'm a busy law student in finals mode. But suffice it to say that I'm 100% convinced that the iTunes position of the cure is having a serious detrimental impact on its radio add figures. The problem is death spiral in nature.

AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Nothing wrong with discounting. If it makes it more popular, I say yes Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
