Week 1: 218,000 #6

Week 2: 163,000 #4 - good streaming due to video

Week 3: 213,000 #6 - VMA boost

Week 4: 160,000 #7 - slow radio updates

Week 5: 184,000 #7 - KIA commercial and good radio updates

Total: 938,000

 

It will likely fall now, but slowly. It can drop 10% a week average, and still sell over 100k in 5 weeks.

I bet we get 2 or 2.5 more weeks of radio growth.

 

2x platinum for Applause once ARTPOP is released seems possible, if we'll get at least 150K sales weekly. Do you think she can pull it off?

I believe she will surely go 2xPLATINUM this year. We are now fully in the hands of the radio and the promo strategy for the song. I believe she can keep on gaining on the radio for 2-3 weeks more... I don't know, I'd love her to go top 5 on POP sooo much

You know she may sell that much but she still has to pay her writers. A song prob. costs her a million. :derpga: Sa at the end that poor thing has to sell millions to buy sth to eat.

 

It's a good point. Bonnie McKee co-wrote 3 songs on TD and 2 on the re-release and she said in an interview recently that she loved making TD so much and wish she'd kept it for herself. If she can lay that much claim to it, it sounds like she was wholly responsible for a LOT of the songs in question. Her solo single, American Girl, sounds like it was something that never made the TD final cut, so you can see that the whole TD thing was Bonnie's own style and she let Katy borrow it for her album. In her earlier days, Katy did compose almost all her tracks exclusively on her own or with just one other person but on TD, she had 3-5 co-writers per song, so we don't know how much she writes really. And Waking Up In Vegas is the only song that she's ever had a production credit on too. I noticed that Roar had 4 additional co-writers (really, that paint by numbers song took 5 people to write?) and Dark Horse had 5 additional co-writers. Then you have to consider that most songs that involve Dr Luke have his style stamped all over it and you have to wonder how much the actual artist played a part. It's certainly a way that artists like Gaga can save money here and there - she writes basically everything by herself and now she even produces a great deal too.

Sure thing. I bet she average 140-150 over the next 5-6 weeks.

Then Applause will get get performed in medleys in Nov in support of the album.

Looks like Roar won't see #1 again...

 

Chances of WreckingB staying #1 this week?

I think roar will overtake unless her streams as still high as ****

Applause is doing well. I thought it'd struggle for Platinum, but it looks like it'll hit 2X Plat in a month or so.

Sales
Week 1: 218,000 #6
Week 2: 163,000 #4 - good streaming due to video
Week 3: 213,000 #6 - VMA boost
Week 4: 160,000 #7 - slow radio updates
Week 5: 184,000 - #7 - KIA commercial, good radio updates
Total: 938,000

 

Streaming
Week 1 : 2,900,000
Week 2 : 6,000,000 - big video boost
Week 3 : 4,200,000 - little video boost
Week 4: 3,200,000 - #11 streaming
Week 5 : 3,700,000 - #9 streaming, Spotify makes up for youtube decline

 

I think it's typical for streaming to go in two waves like that.

Katy might get #1 back briefly is there is a gap between Wreck's viral youtube success and the song getting big on radioSpotify.
