Yeah, this isn't debuting at #1, but it could get there in the future. Longevity > front-loaded sales.
TBH I'd be happy if it peaked at like 4 or 5 and just stayed around there for a bit. It would be kinda neat if she was able to get a single peak at every position of the Top 10
Praying for the new video premiere on August 5.
I'm guessing she'll have at least 50M AI by then + the 50M+ views from the games = #1 on iTunes + 15M views from the video = #1
Impacts Top 40 on July 19th, does this mean it's gonna be an "official" single now?
If it's not going to be on her new album, then I don't think it should be considered an official single. This could very well be a side project. Obviously it's a very marketed side project because it's the official song for the Olympics.
She does have a radio deal but with NBC ONLY. Most of the time radio deals are with stations that are owned by Clear Channel or iHeart Radio (AKA KIIS AND Z100). So the deal does not apply to them. Clear Channel owns probably 70% of the major Top 40 stations in the country. She will not be reaching those.
Poor her.
omg this just means that #1 debut isn't going to happen right? not that it'll tank on radio period?
I forgot about radio. Yeah I think a Top 5 debut might be the best we can hope for with no great streaming and basically no radio 
I can't believe I missed this info 
The fact that its slaying this hard with no radio deal.
not that it'll tank on radio period?
