Roar #2

11. Demons - Imagine Dragons

NAWT Roar at #2

There is no truer example of longevity. I mean when will any other song released on August 12, 2013 still do so well?

With lyrics video & album (in several countries) out, I would have expected to see this doing better. I love this song.

Phillip Phillips - The World from the Side of the Moon
#112 United States (+73)

Curious to know what's causing this increase ?

OK. Yes you're correct. Billboard also predicted ARTPOP would do about 400,000 in opening sales.

I fail to see the logic in this when people don't even wanna spend $1 on a lead single

33. Avril Lavigne - Let Me Go (ft. Chad Kroeger)

Stabilized. Hoping for a hit

The hurricane Katy Perry it's coming, I hope it doesn't hurt Avril

it's not being promoted as a single yet
Roar still has too much momentum

Not that hard to figure out. It takes a few seconds to illegally download (as I do) a song and have it on your iPod just the same. However, you obviously can't do the same with a concert. People will pay a premium to go see a megastar with actual talent perform live. Which is why Gaga, Bey, and Pink will continue to dominate in that regard. I've never purchased a single Pink song or album, yet I just payed $250 for 2 tickets last weekend to see the TTAL tour.

Anyways, glad to see ARTPOP rising.

THIS

Omg people need to CALM DOWN

I guess that means the artists that actually can sell singles and albums have the true star power. Since it is so easy to illegally download music.

yall are too much. This is the Itunes thread not Gaga's tour or Katy's Roar.

Sis, Roar is still smashing in those countries and the song isn't officially released yet, let's not...

Work Bitch has done so well in Canada. I wonder why
