Don't know about Scream (I wouldn't say weak update... just "normal") but Payphone sure hasn't benefited of the hype of the Billboard Awards.
Yesterday many media have given highlights to the artists performing and receiving hype from the BBMA, spinning them more, as they were naturally prepping up and giving coverage to the event.
The dumb idea Maroon 5 had to completely scratch that promo will have waving negative effect (and still the update, in a general slow day, isn't any bad) for a couple days more, so that they will keep on missing out on the resulting media coverage AFTER the Awards aired.
So far though their sales still the same, and the fact I haven't seen huge changes out from the awards will probably maintain their position stable both in AI and sales.
Their digital selling position should remain #2 this week (Carly being number one) while they will slid to number 3 in the BBHot100 chart (replaced by Carly).
About Usher, so far I am pretty underwhelmed by the BBMA effect.
But probably it's just too soon, and his increase will offspring out of the aforementioned "post award" media coverage.
I... hope
