My explanation why we shouldn't freak out about the actual iTunes positions:
I think the fact that Cheers is now 411 on the iTunes chart doesn't represent that Cheers is 411th most downloaded song RIGHT NOW. Actually the people download music from iTunes. And I don't think that the fact it was missing a couple of hours on iTunes will make people not buy Loud and Cheers anymore. The iTunes position is low, because the position is rolling from a couple of hours ago (I think that's how iTunes chart works).
For example iTunes chart represents the number of downloads from 12 hours ago till this moment.(guessing- maybe it is 24 hours) So Cheers wasn't available for 5 hours? (IDK)...but now in this moment it is 12th most downloaded song. But iTunes chart scannes downloads from last 12 hours so Cheers doesn't have good iTunes chart position now (because of that 5 hours when no one downloaded it). But when we wait 12 hours the time when it wasn't available (that 5 empty hours) will no longer count for iTunes chart anymore and Cheers will be number 12 again.
So I think that now it's maybe 12th most downloaded song but we have to wait till it comes back to no. 12 on iTunes chart (because of that rolling)
And maybe the people who couldn't buy it on iTunes that few hours, will come back to buy it so afterall there will be more people who will buy the song (standard new buyers + comeback buyers)
This not being at #12 isnt 1/100000000000000th as bad as your ......never mind.
Only them. Why exactly did they do it then?
