Well that's easy to explain. The chart is a rolling chart, meaning it has data from the past seven days.
In "Womanizer"'s case, when it reached day 8, it lost the 5 million it gained on the first day, meaning that it was bound to fall. It happens to all leaked first singles.
You kind of need to look at daily data to understand it better.
Let's say this is "Song X" by the famous artist "Artist Q." They leaked the lead single from their 6th album, and it was incredibly hyped.
01/01/2012 - 312 {312 +312} [+312]
The way to read this is simple. Date - Spins From That Day Only {Spins From Past Seven Days +Change From Seven Days Ago} [The Spin Change From Yesterday]
01/02/2010 - 314 {626 +626} [+314]
01/03/2010 - 328 {954 +954} [+328]
01/04/2010 - 331 {1285 +1285} [+331]
01/05/2010 - 330 {1615 +1615} [+330]
01/06/2010 - 326 {1941 +1941} [+326]
01/07/2010 - 340 {2281 +2281} [+340]
Here's where things start to look different.
01/08/2010 - 356 {2325 +2013} [+44]
At first glance, you would think the song is a brick wall. But that is actually farther from the truth. The song received more spins that day than it did any other day. The only reason the gain looks terrible is because the song lost 312 spins from its data, but it gained 356 spins. The AI works in the same way. It doesn't mean the song just stopped gaining, it just means the song lost almost as much as it gained because of all of its hype from its leak date.
This "rolling effect" can't be seen in normal songs because their gains are so low.
once i register myelf what i have to do to support?
