Why are people comparing TIHTY, a song which leaked in full on the internet about a year before its release on iTunes, a song which received 0 iTunes promotion, 0 radio airplay and 0 morning shows promo to Rise, a surprise released pop single by one of the biggest pop stars of the millennium which also happens to be promoted for one, if not the biggest, sports event in the world?
Tragic numbers overall.
There's no excuse here. Adele pulled over 1,1 million a couple of months ago, JT pulled over 300k with a soundtrack single, Drake, Sia and other artists were selling more than this on weekly basis in the past couple of weeks.
