6,809,963 + 1,633.909 = 8,443,872 but spotify says 8,701,978
I've noticed this before with other songs. I have no idea why Spotify's play counts aren't consistent with their Global chart (especially since Work From Home hasn't spent any days outside of the Top 200), but I'm going to continue using the sum of all the Global updates as the total.
Compare it to the rest of the top 10, it was huge. I know it was 20 hours, but it was still big.
Also, Kendrick, Jake Owen and Meghan are coming.
The percentage drop is big cause it fell probably all the past day + Kelly went #1 and built a lead.
Again it's not that bad, we're up #7 so we are not falling hard at the moment.
We have had a banner for the album that surely helped the single + the song was under Hot Songs on iTunes which pushed the track. Look what happened to Zayn and Drake's songs when both of these disappeared : http://kworb.net/pop/archive/20160205.html
(as you can see, even Work decreased quite a bit after the 7 first days. That didn't stop it slaying the following weeks!)
It's not happening the same so no need to worry. Plus only Meghan is actual competition from those.
#15 New Zealand (+6)
#16 Australia (+8)
It increased nicely in the past 20 hours.
Stressed Out, for example, got 3 dark red updates before iTunes froze, and they went from 0.64 to 0.59.
The girls, who got a green update before the freeze, went from 0.63 to 0.51
Guys, don't freak out, OF COURSE it's going to drop once its giant iTunes banner and listing on the first tab of "Hot Tracks" are both removed As long as it stays in the Top 10, I'm fine. Based on these early numbers, it looks like this is going to be predominantly streaming and airplay fuelled, which is amazing since sales are actually the weakest component on the Hot 100 right now. So as long as it has average sales to support its rising streaming and airplay, it'll do great
So more news in the "tracking streaming is a confusing, impossible mess category":
The weekly charts for Spotify came out, and they have Work From Home at 4.023 million US streams for the week. But if you add up the 7 daily totals for the past week from Spotify's daily charts, you get 3.7 million streams. So Spotify's two charts aren't even consistent with each other
EDIT: I asked about this in Charts, and apparently the reason for the inconsistency is that for some reason, Spotify doesn't catch all of the plays for the first few days of a song's debut, but then it adds them to the weekly total at the end of the week. So that means the 4.023M is correct
So, without Apple Music or any of the other streaming services, we are around 6.3m streams huh? I seriously hope all of this is enough to give us, at least, a top 15 debut Honestly, the airplay couldn't be better for a debut week

7M from Spotify and YouTube - 4M from Spotify, and we'll presumably have ended with 3M from YouTube if that 16% US rate held up. Top 15 is practically guaranteed at this point (unless airplay just completely stalls on Sunday and Monday's updates after it's hit by the rolling effect tomorrow, but I can't see that happening).
Karlos, stop worrying about dark red updates at this point It's on its 2nd week in the Top 10. It's not going anywhere. Almost every song in the Top 10 got a light red update. The lowest it'll fall today is #9 bc of Pill in Ibiza and the new Mehgan song but it'll come right back. If it wasn't destined to be a hit, it would have never made it this far. Radio would have no positive effect on it and it being in Hot Tracks list or having a banner wouldn't have done anything either. The stars are aligned lol
I'm just reporting the updates, pretty much. But also, yeah, I don't want it to get too many red updates
Anyways, I haven't been posting the interviews, since there are so many, but OMG! Lauren in this interview is the sweetest, most gorgeous girl in the world. Just watch it
No it's not.
