Her "Wide Awake" performance at Billboard was absolutely horrendous and literally kicked that epic song's chart performance off last Summer. Her collection of ear bleeding "Firework" performances didn't hinder it from having sold 6.3 million either.

It's doing really good on Spotify.
#29 original; #33 remix. They moved very quickly to these positions, and the album moved from #11 to #4 on the Top Albums side over past 3-4 weeks.
Combined it has 854,684 streams this week, which would put it at #8 on the Top Tracks. Not sure what/how Billboard is tracking it for it not to be Top 25 on their chart yet (assuming you mean On-Demand). If it's not Top 25 on Streaming Songs, understandable since that measures videos as well and "SS" video is over a year old now.
EDIT: It was #18 on last week's On Demand, I expect it top ten tomorrow.

Yeah, it's strange it's doing so well on Spotify but not showing on Streaming Songs. It will probably enter the Top 25 of that chart soon.

Its gonna suck for both Gaga & katy because not alot of people will be able to watch the opening performance due to work or not getting to a tv on time and also the ending being its the last performance people might get tired and shut off the tv ! Im hoping for both women to get their share of sales

I don't doubt Gaga's performance will help her but she has already done some promo with radio station interviews, GMA and a music video. So she already has a previous boost in sales through eposure
Katy in contrast has no exposure because she has no music video, no television exposure, and done a minimal amount of radio interviews (Only on the 12th). That leaves her to do nothing but gain. Also Katy has an excellent history of climbing up iTunes after her performances no matter how people feel about them.

congrats to Katy.
I'm a bit underwhelmed by Gaga's sales though, with gaga being the bigger popstar you'd think her return would be praised a little higher, even though the release was rushed due to "hackers" leaking.
But it's nice to see Blurred Lines MOVE from #1 on ANY chart.
Hopefully Katy can take that #1 position next week but with the VMAs coming up & them ALL performing, who knows how this will end up. I'm literally at the edge of my seat until their album releases.

This is usually true but MTV does reruns of the awards all week long.
Most people don't catch reruns at the beginning (I know I don't it is so annoying) so they are more likely to see Katy's performance sometime during the week. But if they tape the show from the beginning they will catch Gaga.

ummm? Gaga's 2 VMA performances have been Paparazzi and Y&I, both of which peaked at 6 ...
they certainly did better than they were doing before, but neither performance gave the song another #1 for gaga.

Either way, both songs will benefit greatly from the VMA'.s

Will "Royals" eventually go Top 10 or not?

Really surprised at Gaga debuting at #6. Higher than I've expected. She may even go top 3 the next week. |
Why do you want BL to be the longest running #1 of this decade? Oh wait

They'll benefit more the following week. Not this week.

Two songs drop out of the top 10 this week. “Clarity” by Zedd featuring Foxes drops from #8 to #12. Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody” drops from #10 to #13.
Avicii’s “Wake Me Up!” jumps from #15 to #11 in its eighth week. Digital sales rank: #7 (138K). The song spent three weeks at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.
“Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais jumps from #16 to #15 in its sixth week. It's likely to become Del Rey's first top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #9 (117K).
Luke Bryan’s “That’s My Kind Of Night” is the week’s second-highest new entry at #16. Digital sales rank: #5 (164K). The song is from Bryan’s Crash My Party, which enters The Billboard 200 with sales of 528K. By reaching #16, the song ties “Drunk On You” from 2012 as Bryan’s highest-charting hit to date on the Hot 100. Also, it vaults from #35 to #1 on Hot Country Songs, bumping Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” out of the top spot after a record-setting 24-week run on top.
Bryan’s previous single, “Crash My Party,” jumps from #27 to #22 in its 19thweek. The song has climbed as high as #18. The song’s sales this week were held back because many fans who had previously purchased the song opted to take advantage of iTunes’ “Complete My Album” feature. Those transactions, when fans “trade up” and buy the digital album, are deducted from the song’s sales for the week.
“Cruise” has sold 5,638,000 copies. This week, it moves up to second place on Nielsen SoundScan’s running list of the best-selling country songs in its history. Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” is #1 (6,198,000). Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” dips to third place (5,609,000). “Cruise” also becomes the fourth song to sell 4 million copies in 2013. (On the Hot 100, the song, credited to Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly, drops from #14 to #19 in its 46th week.)
Lorde’s “Royals” jumps from #24 to #17 in its seventh week. Digital sales rank: #10 (107K).
“Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess, which drops from #22 to #28 in its 27th week, tops the 4 million mark in digital sales. It’s the third biggest seller for both acts. For P!nk, it trails “So What” (4,624,000) and “Raise Your Glass” (4,162,000). For Ruess, it trails fun.’s “We Are Young” (featuring Janelle Monae, 6,735,000) and “Some Nights” (4,826,000). (P!nk’s follow-up, “True Love” (featuring Lily Allen), jumps from #69 to #60 in its third week.)
Selena Gomez’s “Come & Get It,” which drops from #23 to #31 in its 19th week, tops the 2 million mark in digital sales. It’s her second song to reach this level, following “Love You Like A Love Song” (which she recorded with The Scene, 2,502,000).
Keith Urban lands his 15th top 40 hit on the Hot 100 as “Little Bit Of Everything” jumps from #43 to #33 in its 13th week. It’s already Urban’s highest-charting hit since “Kiss A Girl” reached #16 in June 2009, which suggests that his exposure on American Idol did him some good. He’s good on the show. He’ll be back next season…
Carrie Underwood’s “See You Again” jumps from #41 to #34 in its 16th week. This is the second time in a little more than five years that a song with that title has been a hit. Miley Cyrus took a song with the same title to #10 in May 2008…
Thomas Rhett’s “It Goes Like This” jumps from #49 to #40 in its 10th week…
Paramore’s “Still Into You” jumps from #57 to #45 in its sixth week.
Many have noted similarities between “Roar” and Sara Bareilles’ “Brave.” The comparisons have drawn attention to “Brave.” The song jumps from #66 to #46 in its 10th week, surpassing its initial peak at #61. The song sold 51K digital copies this week, up 80% from 28K last week.
“Beware” by Big Sean featuring Lil Wayne & Jhene Aiko jumps from #79 to #59 in its fourth week…
Tim McGraw’s “Southern Girl” jumps from #72 to #64 in its fourth week…
Blake Shelton’s “Mine Would Be You” jumps from #75 to #65 in its third week…
“Love More” by Chris Brown featuring Nicki Minaj jumps from #90 to #73 in its fourth week. The song has climbed as high as #56…
Passenger’s “Let Her Go” jumps from #86 to #74 in its third week…
Sheryl Crow’s “Easy” jumps from #97 to #84 in its fourth week…
Taylor Swift’s “Red” jumps from #100 to #85 in its seventh week. The song has climbed as high as #6.
Panic! At The Disco’s “This Is Gospel” debuts at #87. It’s from the group’s fourth studio album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, which is due Oct. 8…
The Wanted’s “We Own The Night” debuts at #94...
Bastille’s “Pompeii” debuts at #95. It’s from the British band’s first U.K. album, Bad Blood. This song reached #2 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart…
Little Big Town’s “Your Side Of The Bed” debuts at #96. It’s from the group’s fifth album, Tornado, which reached #2 in September 2012…
“Bruises” by Train featuring Ashley Monroe debuts at #97. It’s from the group’s sixth studio album, California 37, which was released in April 2012.
John Mayer’s “Wildfire” re-enters the chart at #98. The song has climbed as high as #91. It’s from Mayer’s sixth studio album, Paradise Valley, which is expected to challenge Luke Bryan’s album for #1 next week…
“Without Me” by Fantasia featuring Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott re-enters the chart at #100. The song has climbed as high as #74.

I was expecting Lorde to be in the low 20s. What is her streaming like? She might be near top ten next week
