It's #8/#7 position is fake.
Would be #12 2 months ago with the same amount of spins.
She also has little crossover radio appeal unlike most other artists charting on pop, so she's still only 27th overall on radio.
She has 20% more AI than 51st overall on radio, 10% more AI than 38th overall, hardly a massive margin for error considering she's competing against people on itunes who have lead single hype, new album hype and general promo.
And let's not forget #51 is hardly representative of where she's actually charting and that the position she was in before was achieved before the strong updates she's had recently.
I wouldn't say it's doing any worse than most other songs at converting listeners into sales, it's problem, if you want to call it that, is that's all that's propping it up.
. Not to mention the fact that it costs a lot of money just to launch a single and it's not like HWR are the richest label. They need all the money that they can get and they're gonna milk this for as long as they can. They're not in the position to half-ass a release and be able to get away with it. Also, if the rumours about Selena leaving are true then this era could last much longer than expected, cause Demi will be their only significant source of income and she'll have to practically fund her next album + the rest of their roster with the sales/licensing from this album campaign & her tour (assuming that she has a 360 deal)
I can see Two Pieces selling the album way way way better than Neon Lights if it becomes the next single and smash.
