That isn't a big lead though. Not for a teen act.

Recent releases by 1D, Taylor, etc generally managed to push #2 down to .4000 or lower.

25. Pitbull - Timber (feat. Ke$ha)

Once Miley falls this should move up a little more.

Right? People change their opinions right when they see the song start to plummet.

I'm quite glad with Justin's freefall. Really hate his attitude and even though he went number 1 really fast, his fanbase is finally losing interest. The sooner he becomes irrelevant, the better.

sis
Calm down

Does Justin have airplay?

If he doesn't that plays a huge factor in his decrease. You can't expect a single to stay #1 if they have no type of support.

but Royals is selling at or near 300K so it's not like it would get pushed back too far

Umm. One Direction did it against Blurred Lines.... which was selling more than that at the time.

Justin has little-to-no airplay, no video and the song isn't even the official lead single.

Can't compare him to One Direction at this point of time.

I could be wrong, but 1D also had a radio deal. Which could potentially lead to more sales since the GP would become more aware of the track.

Queen LORDe is back on Top!!!!

If this is the case then their should be no expectation for him to remain #1.

Without any type of support the song was destined to fall.

plus I think they released their video the same week the song was released on iTunes.. Yet, it still free-fell like a rock.

I'm not surprised about Bieber's fall, his fans are basically the ones buying his music not the GP.

No it didn't.

The Wake Me Up knockoff is not that good

His fanbase is not losing interest , they had to beg his manager to put the song on spotify , the song had little to no promo outside of twitter still went #1 in 60+ countries , not even a banner on itunes or media appearance of any type . I take it , most of those 10 songs he is releasing are for the fans and he already tweeted that he was working on his next album .

They didn't have a radio deal.
