I love how people are calling 22 a flop while it's way ahead on i-tunes than other songs with huge promo and radio deals like #Beautiful.

22 definitely underperformed on radio. Its digital performance is decent, considering the circumstances. Taylor usually gets big boosts on the weekend anyway, so that's nothing new.

I was laughing because it's being released a year late in the UK.

Oh my bad. . Took it the wrong way.

There's honestly nothing to shade about Phillip. He has a great voice & has had great success on all fronts. Very promising album sales & Home was/is a megasmash. Home took time to grew on me but I love it now.

I can't believe how late the UK is getting it. Have they not gotten the album either?

Home is being released June 2nd and his album is being released June 9th

I'm hoping he can at least make some sort of impact.

#Beautiful climbing yet again!

#20 now!

They always suppress singles for like 6 to 8 weeks in the UK (and sometimes Germany). So they get high debuts + peak on the 1st week, then fall right off the chart.

A year is really pushing it though.

Honestly, I hope the song is done. There are better songs on Red. Rumour has it Everything Has Changed, her duet with Ed Sheeran, is the next single.

Yep, 22 is not a flop.. It just underpeformed after the huge success of her two past pop smashes. It's doing well but not better than anyone could thought considering it's kinda easy hit

Increasing on iTunes all the while losing 400 spins on radio each day. It just won't give up.

I still don't get why radios gave up on 22. Just goes to show you that the "higher iTunes position translates to increased radio spins" myth is false.

The original is okay, but the remix is so bad. I guess the song is very "summery" so it would climb especially high Memorial Day weekend.

1 Can't Hold Us
2 Blurred Lines
3 Get Lucky

I hope the Top 3 looks like this soon:

1 or 2 Get Lucky
1 or 2 The Way
3 Can't Hold Us

The Way needs to keep climbing.

[Disturbia]

I need ''Blurred Lines'' back at #1 after the weekend is over. That song is incredible.

It's going to top Hot Country Songs for a long time

Death at the Adele promo

But no, 22 isn't a total flop. It made the top 20 after all.

But we knew this already. Plenty of songs have performed on radio in ways that would be deemed unwarranted if iTunes determined airplay performance. And plenty of songs have done extremely well in sales, but radio paid them absolute dust.

Songs with heavy radio support that underperformed digitally:
Let Me Love You - Ne-Yo
Daylight - Maroon 5
Alive - Krewella

These are just 3 examples, but I'm sure I could find more.
