Charts Discussion - Yes it’s going Top 5, more likely than not Top 3

again green light on iTunes FR

[Free My Mind 2,209]

In terms of the UK Radio:

Capital FM continue to play it often. 

My guess is that Radio 1 will cool down on it this week until Friday, when it will be added to the A-List on their playlist.

we need

 

~900k  Spotify, 1m AM, 900k Youtube, 700k from others + 6.6k  sales = ~30,000  

 

(the bold word is achieved already)

A-List seems unlikely, I’d see most likely C or B first and then eventually hopefully it’ll work its way up.

yeah 25,000-30,000. Then  30,000  on Monday 

[TheCureinMalibu 45,913]

Here's the conclusion

If the update in Spotify US  is +1m today, then a top 3 is sealed. There's no other way around

I wouldn’t encourage anyone to get their hopes up for A List. To be quite frank we should be appreciative for it to get on there at all, and they will likely put it on C to begin with in order to test the waters. It’s sad - and wrong - but true that they are more reluctant with artists as they get older.

and this is based on a #3 or #5 prediction? If you have #3 in mind with these goals, then that gives me hope for top 5

It’s not really good that they are spinning this hour. I hope they start playing in afternoon

yeah maybe your right actually..

comparing it to the likes of Europa - Tequila, which was tune of the weekend last weekend and was then cooled off and added to C list on Friday - probably the same will happen for Gaga. 

The same happened with Joel Corry - Lonely a few weeks ago.

So really to the chartsters - don't lose faith if there's little plays by R1 this week, it will likely be added to C next week and slowly improve as the weeks go on. The reception has been generally good.

Thank you for those examples! Didn’t have any concrete evidence of that happening before but it seems like the most likely route for SL. That’s encouraging.

Gaga has enough points to enter the top 20 already with 3 days of sales and 2 days of streaming and that's without taking bundles into account. 

Today will secure the top 10 debut, Tuesday and Wednesday will secure the top 5 debut and we gotta hope for it to do good on Thursday so we can secure the top 3.
