Uh oh... Based on Magoo's prediction, it's possible S&S could miss the top 10 :ohno:

PSY will lose airplay tomorrow and S&S will gain :)

With Gaga having toured almost every market (except the US, where she'll have radio deals etc anyway), ARTPOP's lead single has tons of fuel to rocket to #1 worldwide.

Hopefully it goes #1 in every iTunes market.

I know, i'm hoping for this but in more countries!

Hopefully she'll release on a Monday or Tuesday and get a full week's sales as well.

I'm still bitter that Born This Way peaked at 3 in the UK.

And at #2 in France. :noparty: With her lead singles, I'd hope for her to peak at #1 in the 5 major music markets WW.

The only variable would be the US, thanks to the new streaming rules. If she does a Monday, I dont think she'd have more than a one day radio deal. Billboard's formula is tricky.

#1 in UK/France/Germany/Australia will all be on lock if it's released on a Monday, thanks to the tour having success in all countries.

As long as she puts up an audio video, it should be fine on streaming.

That chart does count YouTube views, right?

Yeah, but it's not that easy to debut at #1 on the Hot 100 anymore.

Especially after the holidays when single sales tend to be slow.

Is it really that difficult for a label to release a single on a Monday and begin the radio deal on Wednesday? Unless I'm missing something, that's what should be done.

It actually isn't horrible to release a single on Friday. That way, just like with BTW, sales will be huge enough to prolly get it to go #1, and then sales would carry over into the next week to keep it at #1 - so basically, if BTW hadn't been released on a Friday, it might have only gotten 5 weeks at #1 with HUGE first week sales.

If it is released on a Monday or Tuesday, though, expect it to break the record for biggest first week sales ever.

Friday is not good. I re-did the calculations to see where it would debut with the new changes and a majority of weeks out of 2012 it would NOT have debuted at #1.

The big bulk of the sales are within the first two days, so for those days to be wasted on a Friday release could also mean it would miss the #1 spot for the second week.

Trust me... Friday releases are a horrible idea and made even worse by the new streaming rule.
