I think Payphone was performed on The Voice during release week so that's why it opened huge. But if I remember correctly it was performed on a Tuesday and wasn't released till after the show. So Payphone had just over 5 days of sales. Where as Maps will have almost a full 7 days for the tracking week.
I hope this album doesn't have another Lucky Strike... Well actually I hope it does, what I mean though is that I hope all the clear smashes actually get released. Overexposed had like 3 other potential top 10 hits and I think Lucky Strike would have gone top 3 with a proper release and promo. I just hope Maps isn't a super slow song side they are releasing in summer
It's a shame that Lucky Strike was never released. When I first heard it, it felt like Moves Like Jagger pt. 2. It definitely had the potential to hit, and it's not like Love Somebody flopped, so I don't know why they didn't go for a fifth single.

Lucky Strike would've been a smash and Wipe Your Eyes would've been a much better mid tempo choice than Daylight or Love Somebody
