Do you enjoy watching your faves getting dragged?

You think I care if some pressed soul drags Katy? Usually the ones who try to drag, stan for someone who can only get a top 80 hit.

I'm totally here for the discount. I mean Birthday is 4th single so it's nothing shameful at this point

[Dark Miracles]

A discount would hurt Birthday's longevity. They discounted Wide Awake too and it started falling badly afterwards. It's not worth a higher peak position imo, #17 isn't that bad anyway.

At this point, longevity is the least of this single's worries. It's not going to have any longevity if it starts going back into the red on iTunes again.

If they want it to increase on iTunes again, they need to put it back up under Hot Songs. That would help it a lot more than a discount.

I agree, a discount probably isn't worth it. I have no idea why Capitol isn't pushing it on on the "Hot Songs" spot when it was clearly helping the song a lot.

Yeah, I think there's a possibility they will put it there again though. Capitol normally pays attention to this stuff.

The hot spot on itunes proves that this song lacks promo and exposure. Not because GP is not interested in the song.

Not true. The song has had plenty of promo. Video, Television performance, and radio are all forms of promo. Don't blame iTunes for not having it on "hot spot" display. Clearly, the GP isn't interested in the song to make it a Top 10 much less a #1 in the US.

The video is negative promo probably.

Then why was it rising before being taken out?

[Prismy]

I believe it will cross platinum. It has been steady in the top 30-ish (combined) since the BBMAs.

It needs several months in the Top 40 in order to sell 1M. I doubt it.

But the advert under Hot Songs made it rise to nearly top 15 which none of those things you mentioned did, so clearly the GP is interested. Dark Horse is/was overshadowing this but exposure on iTunes clearly helped Birthday a lot.

im back to sabotage Birthday
