Marco 731 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Dark red update out of nowhere? Wtf Kworb. Get your **** together And a #6 debut seems nice to me. Paparazzi and Alejandro peaked at #6. Gaga is not Katy, she's not going to score 5 #1s in a row. She's always had moderate singles success, so imo Applause is off to a great start :clap: Agreed.

MonsterOfSpain 8,318 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No one was here for BTW. It died after like a month. I was here for it oh lol U GUYS I PREDICTED ON PAGE 282 THAT IT WAS GONNA BE #6 AND IT DEBUTED AT #6 OMG HANDS AT ME NOW How? 218,000 is quoted for both digital sales and Hot 100 charts. I thought that number was without preorders. Is it actually including preorders? Or are preorders factored into the Hot 100 under some other category? This, I'm so confused about this. And what's that "complete my album" think? Why the sales would be lost tho? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyhigh 43 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can't believe Blurred Lines is still #1! omg Not even the pop queens can save us from this s-xist song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it actually including preorders? Or are preorders factored into the Hot 100 under some other category?From what I understand the 218K does not include the pre-orders. I don't know how many pre-orders she got, but they were factored into the Hot 100, however. When the album is released, any one that uses the "complete my album" option on iTunes will have their single sale deducted from that week's digital sales anyway. So if 100K people use the complete my album on 11/11, then whatever Applause sells that week will have 100K removed from its total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays getting to #2 is the real prize. From what I understand the 218K does not include the pre-orders. I don't know how many pre-orders she got, but they were factored into the Hot 100, however.

Klou 2,414 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 That sounds like a hot mess It happened with TEOG. The week BTW(album) came out, TEOG took a big dip on the Hot 100 because of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco 731 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Too much confusion with these pre-orders tbh. It's really pointless tbh. It's not like an album can run out of copies on iTunes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURA 2,890 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I still think that it's very funny how no one thought Katy would be a threat to Gaga's lead-single, besides chris. After hearing for the first time Roar I thought it's gonna underperform, tbh. It doesn't show any evolution from her past music, but it smashes. I guess that it's the fact that this song is so generic that you literally cannot dislike it. Very interesting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty3009 232 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 But...if the preorders aren't included in the digital sales figure then how are they factored into the Hot 100 formula? Can anyone confirm? I think this preorder situation will turn out to be very ineffective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
