Also LA needs to get them on a plane ASAP and get them to the UK for promo. This actually has a chance of going number 1 there, but I think it needs promo to do so.
How are we gonna jump to number 1 in the UK. We gotta do something girls.
I'm disgusted that they're still not back in the top 10 on US iTunes.
Troye has gotten 5 red updates in a row, and DNCE hasn't gotten a green update in over 20 hours. So if they continue to steadily fall and we continue to steadily rise, I can see us returning to the Top 10 as early as tomorrow.
Can they perform the **** out of this song already?
Not in the US, at least. If they start doing heavy promo before it's in the Top 20 of overall radio (or Top 30 at the VERY least), then it'll peak in sales before it peaks in airplay and it'll just spend a bunch of weeks in the #11-#15 range but never enter the Top 10, just like Worth It.
Shelven what else can we do to get number 1 in the UK. The video is already out, it's been track of the day on Radio 1...
All we have left is promo unless they surge out of nowhere.
Where is it on UK Spotify?
It IS surging out of nowhere right now It's gotten 6 dark green updates in a row and it's gained 7.5% on the #1 in just 12 hours. The only problem is that I Took A Pill In Ibiza is climbing just as quickly as it, so it's going to have to pass it somehow. I don't really follow UK airplay, but I'm hoping that I Took A Pill currently has a lot more airplay than WFH. That will leave WFH with a lot of room to grow on radio, which should boost sales after ITAP has started to run out of steam.

Oh okay, that makes sense..
However, the UK is waiting for them.
We don't want the song to burn out too quickly. Gotta let the song grow in airplay while continuing to (hopefully) remain stable in sales and streaming --- promotion will kick in when all the stars align, and hopefully it'll be enough to have multiple weeks in the Top 10.
So it just got a really big dark green update in the US. Most of the songs that got a dark green update still fell about 0.15-0.20% because the #1 increased a lot, but we only fell by 0.07%
Of course Cake by The Ocean starts getting dark green updates and Troye green updates
Anyways, so happy to see this is hanging in the top 12 so strong. What shelven says makes absolute sense. Guess we just gotta hope sales hold up until airplay goes up so they can start promoting and we can just snatch the top 10. Can you imagine if this peaks inside the top 5 tho? We haven't even considered that idea. That would just be crazy
But WHY is this the best song of 2016 so far? I need an answer. This song deserves #1 for 96 weeks and then fall to #2 for 2 weeks then come back at #1 for one more week then free fall from there.

The top 10 is pretty strong rn though
