Can TIWYCF go #1 next week?

even if she outpeaks Sia
she'll still get blocked by Justin,MO, ML.

BB should make it harder to debut at #1
it feels like a huge accomplishment when one does.

How would they do that?

The only way I really see for that would be increasing the importance of radio by a lot.

it's clearly a hard thing to do when only 26 songs have done it

I knew it poor TIWYCF. Drake will probably release the video the week after

it will probably be Apple Exclusive tho

[Costea]

i feel like #1 debuts will get easier and easier to get with streaming increasing

exactly.

If the Hot 100 becomes like the UK singles chart, a #1 debut wouldn't sound that impressive anymore

atm,it is
but w/ sales decreasing, a time will come where every week there'll be a #1 debut

How much stats does Cold Water need to debut af #1 Sales..radio and streams?

While it stands a good chance to debut at #1, its still a bit of an uphill battle.

By my count, it would need at least 175k in sales, 17.5M streams and 40M in airplay. Not 100% certain that its sales will be that high. However, streaming and airplay could end up way higher.

It'll definitely be an exciting week to track. With CT's discount still going strong, it'll lodge another points gain next week as well.

[NoMythologies]

I have TIWYCF and OD 2 points from each other in OD's favor right now. I've had a tendency to underestimate TIWYCF's streaming tho, so I'm very hopeful it can snag #2 this week. Hoping its next 2 radio updates match today's.

[One Nation]

I totally see Calvin discounting TIWYCF in a few weeks, especially if it ends up being #2 next week

[Sheena]

Justin getting his 4th #1

[Mattyboy]

Sia has it this week, Major Lazer & Justin next week, then if Calvin discounts TIWYCF it could be #1 the following week.

If Sia didn't discount CT would it be #1 still? Funny how a Rihanna-rejected song is actually blocking her her from #1..

Cold Water should have a big debut right? It's #1 on iTunes, debuted at #2 on Spotify, and I read that it's already getting airplay on pop radio. I'm perched for a week from Monday

Oh absolutely, thinking about #1 is not impossible.

It's not like it's easier to get a #1 with more Streaming's influence. Actually that's the component which takes more time to build it. All number-one debuts in the US are impressive, not happening all the time.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be totally on-lock. I believe the difference would be really tight between the whole Top 3 actually. Discount helped pretty much to secure that #1.

[Fanik]

will justin be #1 next week for sure? With 160 k sold?

[Element]

Wasn't Sia increasing in sales without the discount?

[Jackson]

When are more predictions coming? I need to know whether #10 is a fight or if I should give up now

It would need nearly 17M streams imo, with 170K sales + radio deal.

only a little and without it she would may or may not be #1. now with discount she is for sure #1.

I don't think so.
