That's not the point.

CSTF! sold 375k, Gaga won't sell half of it.

I've been following charts for over 5 years, and I see nothing alarming about any of PI's components as of yet.

I've been following charts for many years as well, and I struggle to remember a song that had such big decreases. It's not it being dark red, it is the percentages drop.

The dat after work was released Work had a -19% sales update. http://kworb.net/pop/archive/20160129.html

Is Gaga's -8% recent update as bad. Please tell me why.

obviously not, I'm just curious as to why red updates for a song during its week of release are only treated negatively when it's Gaga. CSTF, Work, Cold Water etc all didn't cause as much nonsensical dragging while their sales plummeted. What's the difference?

the colors are not important, the percentages are

Can't Stop the Feeling!'s 2nd day: #1 with 69% lead (pushed One Dance to 31%)

Work's 2nd day: #1 with 67% lead (pushed Stressed Out to 33%)

Cold Water's 2nd day: #1 with 51% lead (pushed Chep Thrills to 49%)

Perfect Illusions's 2nd day: #2 with Closer having a 23% lead over it

it's clearly not comparable to any of those

Not needed. It's a top ten single on the Hot 100 already.

My post above has Work with a -19% drop. Hope it jogged your memory!

This makes no sense. What does the tracking week have to do with dark red updates? It still started plummeting an hour before PI.

because it was still selling stacks and stacks in the first few hours it doesn't matter if it got dark red updates it was still a monster seller.

One Dance sold 184k when Can't Stop the Feeling! dropped

but you have no idea how much will Closer sell this week yet anyway

[ClashAndBurn]

That percentage gap was more Zayn gaining (with a brand new song rather than one that's been smashing for a month) than her dropping.

clearly not much of a difference from the predicted 211 from the last tracking week.

Gaga losing 8% to a stable song. Work losing 19% to a massively increasing Pillowtalk. Find the difference.

20 Rihanna - Work (feat. Drake)

in dark green at the same also Zyan having a massively hyped single was part of the reason, The situations are not comparable

Are you completely ignoring the fact that Zayn was quickly reaching #1 and that ~19% drop~ was after he made it to #1?

Girl that's because PILLOWTALK was a brand new song from a highly-hyped about single, so it gained huge once it hit #1 and dwindled EVERYONE's percentage. It's a totally different situation.

And who cares because Work ended up being one of the bestselling singles of the year (in fact, the bestselling female-led single of 2016 so far).

it had a 9% increase to #1 and then stabilized in the next update. Clearly Work still lost a massive chunk.

1 The Chainsmokers - Closer (feat. Halsey) 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 0.9568
2 Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion 0.7766 0.8575 0.9592 1.0000

Girl i know you want PI to do well, but trying to discredit the biggest song of the year in the process is not going to help

So we can say "who cares because this ended up happening" but 30 hours after release it's already a flop because it's falling down iTunes like literally every other lead single in the history of iTunes lol...

Where am I discrediting work? It fell like a normal lead single?
