Gaga blocking DRAKE on iKoons in 2018? I know iTunes doesn't have the relevance it once had even a few years ago, but I would never have expected that

[Teal Ambition 47,805]

Canada

ARUTW coming for Drake 

[dit 45,443]

KWorb top 100 artists updated 10 minutes ago and Gaga's total points rose! She fell from 5200 to 4700 due to the week slowing sales but because it is friday afternoon and ppl are watching the film / buying the record again she rose to 4920 points again! I'm hoping we go above 5k points again especially since the weekend is coming and the film is debuting in other countries too tomorrow I believe.

the add date is on tuesday but radio can add it whenever they want. The biggest radio station (z100) has already added it, but only 2 spins in total so far

Tuesday but already picked up by important stations.

Do you think we'll start to see some significant increases on radio after Tuesday? From what little I understand of the radio, add dates don't matter as much as they used too?

Yeah I mean hopefully the soundtrack being #1 BB announcement and hopefully a Top 10 on BB for Shallow spur radio to act. Programmers look at that kind of stuff to see whats rising. I'm sure they look at Spotify more than sales but if they look at Billboard which combines them all then I think they'd be more inclined to add Shallow

[Arturo 40,746]

Here's what we're looking at for Billboard

Gaga should have the 7th best selling week of 2018 for an album. Maybe even 6th if BB counts an extra 10k sales from bundles maybe? Always possible

In terms of top digital sales she needs to hit ~280,000 digital sales for Shallow to get into the Top 50 of 2018. Not hard considering she's already at like 155k from like 2 full tracking weeks and a day.

 

ASIB needs to sell ~450,000 SPS in the US to get into the Top 50 albums

In that case, they'd see that Shallow is slowly but surely rising on Spotify (and AM + YouTube)?

It’s the best part for me on that song.

I do not have a problem at all with it, but the cut to his voice sounds so amateur-ish.
