But to be fair, why Roar only sell 450k? TD era is so successful. I thought she would get at least 500k.

 

 

It's slightly up from Part of Me, about what i expected.

POM come after 5 #1 singles and was released around Grammy time.

 

Roar has not received as much radio support as BTW did in its first few days,

The official add date to the radio is the 20th. It's not a radio deal. and anyways it's just the add date, it's not gonna help that much

They are confusing radio adds with radio deals!

Everyone saying that we have to wait for the video and promotion.

 

Born This Way didn't get a video in its first week nor promo (well the Grammys were in its last day, doubt more than 50k downloads happened after the grammy performance that day), yet it managed to crack 440k downloads in THREE DAYS. We're dealing now with SIX DAYS and a number that's 2x less - 200/225k. If you still think it's not that bad, then I have to learn to be delusional.

 

Sure, the rush-release has its effect but that shouldn't make an excuse for such low sales.

 

Also, you guys have to keep in mind that she doesn't have the streaming power she used to have. Besides Judas, most of BTW's era videos flopped in YouTube charts. That might be a problem too now :ohno:

The youtube thing is her own fault. People don't watch them because the vids are either too long ot too weird and nsfw.

We're saying to wait for the video and promo because it could help the song mostly in part to her newer, safer image this era being displayed. Image is more important than music in pop, and she hasn't had a real display this era, and her last era was brand damaging. She needs to do visual damage control. Katy is successful because she came off a clean, image conscious era. Now shut the **** up already.

Well let's all realize that it isn't the song that is causing her downfall on the charts. It's her label's incompetence and failure to correctly promote it on radio.

I misunderstood then. REGARDLESS she probably has massive amounts of promo planned for that week that we don't know about yet and will soon see

She's boxed herself in after TFM videos. If she makes a typical video, Monsters go nuts and say it sucks, See EoG.

But she can't outdo that era without being weird and NSFW.

But POM only topped the chart for 1 week, right? :teehee:

Let's hope it's the same with Roar.
