I doubt this will go top 10 the second week, I think the song will build up slowly as she does promo and whatever happens will happen, if the public is here for it then they will get it, if they aren't then I don't see it going far. Hopefully people catch on and this song becomes a moderate hit or a huge hit.
Basically this. You can't rely on those streaming tricks
Well, that's assuming radio begins to pick it up at a normal pace and the sales response is decent.
Like I'm not playing when I say #1 is a legit possibility with good sales response - but nobody should expect a top 5 placement.
Right. Soko went #9 on the Hot 100 with 11.5 million streams and no sales or airplay. G.U.Y. will have some airplay, and could have decent sales with the video. And 6-10 on the H100 aren't too strong right now so she could easily sneak in there.
Can anyone tell me the standard ARTPOP font? Like the one in the new pic on her twitter?

True, as far as longevity and long-lasting hits - streaming is the thing pop stars like G should bank on for initial peaks rather than as a viable single-carrying format just yet.
At this point I couldn't give a crap about GUY's placement - this MV just better be amazing and then it'll hold me until the tour with maybe the odd GUY TV performance or two. I streamed the hell out of Applause and it felt so moronic afterwards If it bombs oh well, if it does well then fantastic but everyone will still consider AP an epic fail for Gagz.

I believe it got 6 million U.S. streams first week

I feel like half of those were just me refreshing it for hours Not doing that with this one, I'll watch a bunch of times but won't make it my mission to bump those views, besides I'm not back in the US until next weekend... so unless the UK Charting peeps change their rules for streams ASAP I'll be doing her no good chart-wise!
I'm tentatively - VERY tentatively - predicting it jumping to #8 - #6.
the gravitational shift that occurred this spring awakening is immense.
