Rise's debut numbers are fine. 140K is like 315K adjusted to 2013's climate.
But it's sooo weird how iTunes is so misaligned with what's actually big nowadays. Can't Stop the Feeling, My House, Me Too, and all those other songs that sell well are sooo irrelevant in real life.
The Spotify charts are better measurements of what's big now. One Dance, Work, Sorry, etc actually feel as big as their performance on Spotify.
It's the official song for NBC's Olympic coverage. It's geting 2 videos. If it doesn't rise on itunes during the olympics despite certainly being played on tv to exhaustion it's gonna be an embarassing flop.
I agree, should we wait till August 20th (when the Olympics end) to discuss If Rise flopped or not?
Katy's Side Project debuting at least in the top 15 while other pop stars can't even debut in the top 90 with their Side Projects after a massive promo campaign and performances.
What about Gurney's lead single huh? Your local prostitute failed to crack Top 40 in the UK.

Cant stop the feeling had the equivalent of an 850k debut? poor katy
The fact that anyone bought Rise at all is pretty impressive considering it's very blah and un-exciting not only for the Olympics but for a summer single in general. Just imagine if she comes back with something actually good. (Something Faga won't do.)
Spotify will never be a direct reflection of the public's interest for as long as huge artists like Adele, Taylor and Beyoncé keep their work from them.
The biggest factor is age but there's also a socio-economic relationship between people who use Spotify and those who still use iTunes. Urban music does exceptionally well on streaming while soccer mom sings like CSTF are still major sellers.

Spotify is counted more on the charts than iTunes in US, UK, etc these days lol. Streaming is literally 80% of the U.K. Singles Chart now.

yea, the reason you cant directly say x would have sold y amount in 2013 is because the spotify and itunes demographics are extremely different. so the competition is only affecting certain songs on itunes drastically. Its not like album sales where everyone went from buying to pirating, yet anyways
poor katy
selegend!!!11 3 top 10 singles!!!!11 major pop girl!!111
