200K is the new 400K. I wonder if we will ever see another song selling 200K+ for more than a week. Maybe Taylor or Justin can pull it off with their respetive lead singles.
And i, and many, was thinking 350k+
I know how sales have collapsed but didnt CSTF open with 370k 7 months ago only?
The sales climate has worsened drastically since then. This excerpt from that week's Hot 100 article speaks volumes:
Quote:
"Needed" (like "Work," from Rihanna's album Anti) climbs 5-4 on Streaming Songs (17.3 million, up 3 percent); backtracks 23-25 on Digital Songs (35,000, down 6 percent); and debuts on Radio Songs at No. 42 (28 million, up 21 percent).
The sales climate has worsened drastically since then. This excerpt from that week's Hot 100 article speaks volumes:
That's what the #10 song is selling right now.
Yup. Figures in the Nielsen mid-year report showed that sales of current singles declined by 31% between July 2015 and July 2016, so the climate is significantly worsening every month (and the rate of decline is accelerating).
