Why is everyone cackling about Drag Me Down? It's still #12 on iTunes, doing fairly well on the radio, and doesn't even have a music video yet. It'll do fine in the long run Are y'all new at this or???

Seriously, it's like people are learning how the Hot 100 works every week.

If it drops again next week, that will be a bad omen, but for now, it's too early.

Popular music has always gotten such a bad rep.
But my playlist is almost identical to the top 10 (minus the basic pop songs ofc)
This will never happen again

DMD is doing fantastic, but they usually release a video at launch.

I have no doubt that it will go top 10 when the video hits.

[Giselle]

Watch Billboard have messed up or something.

I mean, Lana is the queen of music, a modern day icon, etc etc but I have a hard time believe two hundred and forty eight thousand people would buy her worst single ever.

Or is good hearing just getting scarce?

Who cares? The BB200 is combined with SEA and TEA now, so it doesn't matter if he was in the sales top ten or not.

It matters because one song doesn't reflect the album's popularity. Take Mark Ronson's album for example...

Yeah, let's wait til it is official. It can still be a mistake. It almost looks like one. There is no reason to celebrate right now

SMG was a Zayn's sized flop from day one. I am comparing it to their other successful singles.

Billboard have published the wrong charts before. It happened about 3 or 4 times in 2013. Sometimes the day after when the full chart was published on their website it would be different. There was one particular week where it kept changing back and forth and nobody was sure which was the correct chart.

The funniest one was a week where it caused Applause to fall a position iirc.

and for several weeks this summer billboard had to fix billboard 200 cuz the numbers changed from soundscan somehow.

Don't jump on this too fast. I have a feeling we'll be getting some kind of Dope @ #8 expose and it'll involve AppleMusic promoting her single on their new 'awesome' service
