pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Continues to a show a gap between digital sales and radio play in 2012. Wasn't Give Your Heart a Break in the 30's on iTunes when it went #1 on pop? I hope radio is friendly to Gaga when she comes back, with the new charting rules, radio support is a bigger part of the picture now.

Arturo 40,746 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 T. Swift/Kesha/1D all tomorrow! 1. 1D 2. T-Swift 3. Ke$ha I think that's how it will look tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 1. 1D 2. T-Swift 3. Ke$ha I think that's how it will look tomorrow I doubt Kesha can race to the top without promo. 1d and t. swift will fight for #1 an #2 i bet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow will be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) How about Rihanna with Diamonds on Wednesday, how do you think she'll stack up? IIRC, We Found Love got stuck at #2 and started falling during it's debut, but I can't remember what her competition was.

craig 680 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What matters is who is on top after 2-3 weeks. Kesha has good odds of being ahead of 1D by then. Taylor's single will be more country and not huge on pop radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 12,195 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 As much as I HATE the new 1D song, I kinda think they're adorable, so I hope they win the chart battle :toofloppy: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope radio is friendly to Gaga when she comes back, with the new charting rules, radio support is a bigger part of the picture now. Actually, it's the other way around. CHART-WISE radio DOES play a significant role. But digital sales will forever prevail. Your song can be #1 on Pop or Radio and barely go Platinum (i.e. Blow Me (One Last Kiss) #1 on Pop, Adult Pop, and Radio, US Sales: 1,000,000. WHYB, #3 on Pop, #2 on Radio, US Sales: 1.5 million. GYHAB, #1 on Pop, Top 10 on Radio, US Sales: 1,000,000.). And songs that have sold very well are still getting mediocre updates/peak positions on Pop (Some Nights: Pop Songs: #10. Too Close: Pop Songs: #11.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonyguy04 3 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I love the new KeSha song. See, Gaga should do fun songs like this again. Enough with the really clever lyrics. She needs to dumb it down a little and produce fun pop like LoveGame and Telephone again. http://kevvyb---h.tumblr.com/post/32226375960/audiofury-die-young-ke-ha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Close: Pop Songs: #11.) True, biggest example I can think of is Love You Like a Love Song. Peaked at #22 on the Hot 100, top ten on pop, but went 2x platinum. Sales are more important than chart position for sure, but I would like to see at least one #1 from Gaga next era, and she'll probably need at least some radio support for that.Ugh, Die Young sounds so typical and like it could have been on Animal or Cannibal. I'm here for Supernatural, call me when that leaks in full. Shame because Ke$ha is probably my second fave behind Gaga :(. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ID are sub-Bieber level to me. At least he emerged first as the teen girl heartthrob of the era and wasn't manufactured on X Factor by Simon Cowell. They may peak later than Biebs but I doubt they will outdo him overall. Get a 2nd single in top 10 after your fans have bought the album, then we can talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
