They just said its peaking in the top five...

Think they are talking about the radio peak specifically. Which probably isn't wrong. BSE doesn't stand a chance on mainstream radio.

He should have specified though considering that the article's first line is about its Hot 100 peak.

The article is not about lwwy. It is completely tangential to compare the radio airplay of a real radio single to a promo single for a movie.

BSE was never designed or marketed for radio.

No one is denying that lwwy was a radio flop. That does not have a whole lot to do with a non radio promo single.

It wouldn't have a radio deal then. Don't be a delusional blind stan.

Give me a break. The radio deal is tiny (If there even is one. This is the first I have heard of it.), 100% a hype thing for the movie.

Doesn't make it a serious radio single.

Just because YOU want it to be a radio single so you can call it a flop doesn't make it one.

1D's Radio Singles:
What Makes You Beautiful
Gotta be You
One Thing
Live While We're Young
Little Things
Kiss You

1D's Promo Singles:
One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)
Best Song Ever

There are flops on BOTH lists. There is NO reason why I would call a real single a promo single. It is not like they haven't had plenty of real singles flop.

Holy Grail tho. Only JAY-Z can maintain Top 10 presence on iTunes with an album track.

Billboard already said it was theead single

They actually doing really great at itunes Vevo & Radio they deserve that top 10!
Now l hope they finally get longetivity with this single at charts

That's it?

I was expecting a lot more. I mean, Taylor Swift's Red promo singles sold more first week.

Wow, streaming that low in the US? I thought it was gonna be in the double digits.

Boop

It's still a record for a debut song this year, right?

I'm surprise about that number of US streams. It's just too low compared to the 12 million WW. They must be really global then.

Well they're British not American

Anyway, I thought their streaming points were gonna be massive a la Miley but I guess not, but I think it could be enough to make the song debut in the top 10, unless it drops massively in the weekend.

What do you mean? If we're talking sales, King Jusin Timberlake's underrated R&B jam "Sui & Tie" featuring Jay Z sold about +320k if I'm not wrong

Wafflecakes

Still top 3

....but I was told that they were going to be out of the top 10 by now.

To be honest the song is performing only slightly above where I would have expected. I thought it was about equal hype wise to One Way Or Another, but it looks like it will beat it out by every metric.

Taylor Swift is American, and also has a bigger fan base in the US.

Suit & Tie sold 315,000 during its first week.

Not great...I thought they'd at least do 340K

Who was that who said they'll be selling 600K with this song

No one rational. None of the 1D fans I know on this board.

Their last promo single they released this spring sold about 250k its first week. 300k is a nice result.... anyone who expected more was being foolish.
