UK numbers are always disappointing, it's like they are not listening to music 

[AndiGaga 7,038]

WHAT

Edit: these numbers will drop like crazy over the week, the song has no replay value

I mean if you compare the UK numbers vs its population with the US vs its population this just doesn't stack up. 

1.5mil streams vs 69 million people

4.5mil streams vs 340 million people.

Not surprised, but very curious to see how it pans out. I like the song, especially musically, but the lyrics get a bit repetitive.

The USA have like 5 times the population of the UK, actually the song is doing better in the UK than in the USA (streams/population)

But whats your comparison point then? 

Because on a per capita basis we aren't low. We're equal or better to similar markets.

I expected more streams from the UK to a British artist, especially an acclaimed one like Styles.

And in general it has always been low in the UK in the last 20 years, even more maybe but I don't remember much.

I think piracy really messed up music consumption in the UK.
