the song is doing very good in the UK

how much did it sell first week there? I know it didn't count, but will the sales count when the album is finally out?

10 plays on Z100 today

DO YOU WANT WIT MY BODAYYYY WORLD

This came on the radio on my way back from Bad Grandpa. It was glorious.

I've heard the sales stockpile until it's no longer a promo single. Hope it's true. Coming for a 500k debut.

already 10 spins per day

stan, 2 more weeks until PR

If that's true, then it will hit #1.

This has to be false, otherwise people would release their ineligible singles on purpose.

I've heard people say that's what happened to Paradise, and that's how it hit #1. I don't know for sure that it's true though.

Didn't Paradise's sales lost because of this feature?

It managed to gain 1% despite the #1 song getting a dark green

No, Coldplay's sales were lost.

DWUW is coming to slay, I really hope DWUW becomes ones of Gaga's biggest radio hits, Applause did such a wonderful work. Can't wait for the music video and the actual promotion.

I wonder if it will get a deal

This is how the DWUW situation will work the week of ARTPOP's release in the UK:

"Do What U Want debuts at number 1 X, the track sold xx xxx this week.
It has sold xxx xxx copies so far"

So basically, the "lost" sales due to pre-order will count to the total but not to 1st week sales.

29 or 30 in the US?
