Fun. is starting to freefall. Does this song have any radio presence at all?
non-existent even though i discovered it on the radio (but on alt rock, not pop). the fact that it even reached #1 on iTunes and built a significant lead is already a huge win. but i wouldn't be surprised if pop radio started to play it soon - this kind of surprising success is hard to ignore.
GUYS SFTTR went to #1 WITHOUT a video, WITHOUT promotion, it IS NOT struggling.
I wouldn't say it is without a video. They've been using that live video for various video countdowns and what not so it's definitely gaining at least some of the benefits associated with having a music video.
Adele is currently selling 155K a number that should go up to about 250K after the Grammys. Two Wednesdays from now, Adele AI will be about 150 AI (probably more).
250+150 + 400.
Are you actually telling me that Katy will sell more than 400K?
You telling me Katy isn't going to get airplay? She could have 50million AI. Cali Gurls sold nearly 300k in its first week. After coming from such a HUGE fanbase, and a Grammy performance, its not delusional to think POM can do it.
I was mainly referring to the fact that a song with 70 million less AI took its spot at the top of the Hot 100 when sales are relatively low
But, really though, it's not struggling but like I've already said, without the Grammys it would have already peaked.
Yeah, the Grammys will be SFTTR's first major promo... and Kelly is selling like a monster, at least "Fire" is retaining its #2 spot on the Hot Digital charts.

Katy isn't getting 50M in airplay. And Cali Gurls sold that much because Katy was gone since 2008. She's been oversaturated on the radio so she's not gonna get anywhere near 50M or 300K. I expect 35M on radio THE MOST and around 250K
Adele released the video to "Someone Like You" when it was peaking. It helped the song not freefall and propelled it back to #1, and is over 100M views. I don't know if she is shooting one for SFTTR, but she shot videos for her first two singles.

I think they released the Albert Hall DVD as an excuse to not release any more videos.
