NFRatwell 23,290 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ARUTW is actually really good on streaming, I keep seeing it and ROM going back and fourth on her 2nd most popular song right now. I’m not sure why they didn’t promote it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegAde 18,402 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ROM is bigger , it got the same streams and views ARUTW got in 2+years in just 5+ months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adarsh Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ARUTW sold 2 million in the US in 2 years, ROM sold almost the same in 6 months. ROM is easily going to be bigger in the longer run. Even bigger than Million Reasons perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clown 539 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ARUTW was bigger than ROM in every country where it was actually send to radio. But, since that's just a couple of countries, ROM wins overall. It'll be interesting to see which one's doing better in reccuring streams in a couple if years, tough. I can definetly see ARUTW taking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer Boy 1,038 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Both are hits but ROM is way bigger obviously, it already has way more WW certifications in 6 months than ARUTW in 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 25,355 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 In France, ARUTW was pretty major. Unfortunately, It'd be hard to find someone around me who even knows what ROM is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,775 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ROM is much bigger, but I think we'll only realize when clubs re-open. It's in all Spotify ads for year-end playlists I get which is a big positive sign imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a monster smash but it gained a bit of traction IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
androiduser 7,438 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ARUTW would have been a bigger hit, had it been properly released... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 54,437 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 ROM is bigger. It was a #1 US song and had a pretty solid moment within pop culture this year. ROM and ARUTW may have similar streaming figures but one had 2 whole years to reach those while the other was just released in May. Not to say ARTW didn't do extremely well for a non-single in most countries but they're on different levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
