It should have been 'Gone, Gone, Gone'. Pop radio didn't do it justice; it would have smashed iTunes. Heck it still is smashing iTunes: 172. Phillip Phillips - Gone, Gone, Gone
Pop radio pushed it as far as it could to the Top 20. Radio's not to blame. Talk Dirty is already selling as much as it is and it just entered Top 30 on Pop. If a song is destined to smash then it will.
Well they both can't be the Katy of this Gaga/Katy comparison
Lorde's first #1 hit topped the charts for 5+ weeks just like Katy's first #1 hit. So Lorde gets to be Katy. Sadly that means Team will be her Hot N Cold and be a memorable mega-smash but not hit #1.
7 Lorde - Team 0.4778 It needs to pick up the pace to compete with Dark Horse/Talk Dirty.
I just listened to the previews of the new songs; 'Chasing' is a total bop, a must-single. 'Life Your Spirit' is solid too. I don't think 'The Man' will have trouble recovering.
WAIT: this thing ain't available until March?! I cannot wait that long for 'Chasing', I'm addicted on my 3rd listen of the preview for it.
Well his album was released last year so you can already listen to it

I can live with that. The teas this will give if Team peaks at #3
The same day Team came out, I made a lyric video and posted it on youtube. Totally forgot about it, now it has over 500,000 views and I forgot my username & password :giveup:
Anyway, this is how I see it :
- Timber stays at #1 for 1 more week
- Dark Horse goes #1 in 2 weeks
- DH stays at #1 for 4 consecutive weeks
- Talk Dirty goes #1 for multiple weeks
- Team blocked at #3 all that time
With combined versions, DWUW is not doing as bad as it seems :
33. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)
199. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)
248. Lady Gaga - Do What U Want (feat. Christina Aguilera)

That's so frustrating about the video
I'd be happy if your scenario played out. #3 is a great peak for Team. I hope she gets there!

I think Team can challenge Talk Dirty because of Lorde ha crossover power on radio. There's also Happy, and also that John Legend song is just waiting to blow up.
Sadly that means Team will be her Hot N Cold and be a memorable mega-smash but not hit #1. 
'Life Your Spirit' is solid too. I don't think 'The Man' will have trouble recovering.
Hopefully not 'Tennis Court'.
