Mills 446 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 BB > your opinion.Gary Trust's opinion =/= Billboard's opinion =/= universally accepted opinion for it to be regarded as a factBillboard's Jason Lipshutz, along with the other writers across the world, including from the Billboard equivalents like OCC and ARIA (from the links I've posted weeks ago about this same debate), had 'Bang Bang' counted as the lead single from Jessie J's album and not from Ariana Grande's album, both when the collaboration of the three was being announced and when the single was dominating the charts. If only they've promoted 'Bang Bang' as a single from Ariana Grande's album too right from the start, and not just as a featured song on the deluxe version (and OLT wasn't promoted by various media outlets as the 4th single from ME), this debate (or confusion) wouldn't have existed at all.

Mills 446 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Still expecting a lukewarm debut for PG. Lukewarm in the sense of a debut not massively exceeding than this year's highest debut so far - 140k. Even more especially that the first half of 2015 has been very underwhelming compared to last year when it comes to sales weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ah, boo, just happy. It's beautiful weather here, got me friends coming over for a cookout! Been a great weekend! Think I'll put some Bops on...little Meghan, little Tove Lo, little Ariana. What else should I play? Hmmmm.... Wish Pretty Girls was out! My fronds would love it! I don't know if I can believe Italy, Germany or France's numbers. They seem pretty inflated. I still don't know how Media Traffic has Rebel Heart at number 22 this week when she isn't charting anywhere in the world int the top 10 and last week they still had her at like 17. Lol Inflategate 2015. I got the numbers from Madonna fans themselves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Bang Bang is album-only on ME on iTunes. You can only buy it through JJ's album. Therefore, it's not a ME single no matter how anyone tries to spin it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 who has the highest debut sales week this year? (so far) The top two spots come from Kanye West. Third biggest comes from Rihanna. All three have more than 10k in difference from the other. The first full week of 45S, which is a single from these two, also failed to go above 140k. As I've said in the past, it'd be shocking for me, as much as I'm a fan of Britney, for PG to out-debut Kanye and Rihanna. And there's also the discouraging trend against the favor of mainstream female acts when it comes to securing hit singles. So I guess I could only wish them tons and tons of good luck with this one.

Arturo 40,746 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I honestly don't really care about the whole BB argument I just posted that article to mock the fact that Billboard considered One Last Time a smash and compared it to the likes of "Last Friday Night" when it comes to 5th single hits. Either way, multiple sources use BB to emphasize the "success" of the My Everything era so I guess the only ones that win are Ariana stans for the sole purpose of bragging rights.

Maybe she can score her first #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
