liberalmusiclover Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 2 hours ago, Johnny Cash said: Wait so Beyonce's version of Perfect only sold 14k? Why is Billboard still crediting her when even the Andrea Bocelli version is selling more? Interesting question, since Britney Spears was only credited on “S&M” the week it went #1, Missy Elliot never received credit for Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” since it never outsold the original, and John Legend never got any credit for Sam Smith’s “Lay Me Down” either... why isn’t Andrea Bocelli credited for Perfect? The original solo version of perfect is the biggest selling-version, the most-streamed version, and the most-played version on radio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad that his fourth album’s lead sold less than Britney’s nineth album’s lead that didn’t receive a video in its release week. His fourth album will fail to live up to Britney’s, he’ll never catch up to her overall career and his image is in a nosedive. I’ve been hearing from his fans since 2003 that he’s going to be bigger than Britney Spears but here we are in 2018 and, well, 80k We’ll see what Filthy did in SPS.

Ivan_brit Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So Perfect will be #1 Bruno was not geting that #1. Digitally JT 80k is really great watch this being one of the biggest debuts of the year (Sales are dead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdWardBey Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) So Perfect will top the digital sales chart again. If it does, it will be the longest consecutive stay at #1 on the Digital Songs chart by a lead female since 2012.

Billboard is not changing the credits, move along. The Andrea version never had more than 50% of the combined sales, which is why he is not credited.

I hadn't asked the question before because I hadn't noticed. Beyonce's version is not selling more than either version so clearly it shouldn't be credited anymore.

Sales have dramatically declined in the last two years so don't try it sis cause if Brit releases a song this year, it would be lucky to push 70K. This is obviously not his best performing single, but to call it a flop is dumb. It's not like his sales are dismal and he has some massive promo coming our way which will help the song stabilize or grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrat to both Well, in 2017, only 11 songs managed to sell over 100k pure, so, I don't think that in the declining 2018's climate more than 7 songs can make it I have a feeling that "Finesse" will sell like 5-7k more than that.

He’s still had more longevity than her without quick peaks and fizzles. Not to mention bigger since 2003. NSYNC was also bigger in many aspects in their teen pop phases. *NSYNC sold less in their seven eras WW than Britney’s first two albums. They were incredibly local to the U.S. Britney never had a career refresh but her first album outdid JT’s debut, her second outdid his second, her third outdid his third and now her fourth looks like a juggernaut compared to his that’s debuting with CTTR-esque stats. 3 hours ago, Ari29 said: 2013: Britney Jean vs 20/20 Experience. 2016: Make Me vs Can’t Stop The Feeling In 2018 one is gearing up for the Super Bowl and the other is just leaving Vegas. You’re really trying to argue that Britney is bigger than Justin because of a 16k difference? I’m arguing that Britney’s bigger than Justin because her fourth album didn’t struggle to hit 10M album equivalents WW and his will be lucky to do 3M. Britney left Vegas with an extra $120M in gross, articles on her influence on both performers and the economic environment of Vegas and a restored public image after FF/BJ. JT’s going in to the Super Bowl with his image in pieces and Janet on the tips of American tongues for the first time in a decade and a half - you better hope he brings her out or this year could be really problematic for him. 3 hours ago, liberalmusiclover said: We’ll see what Filthy did in SPS.

Because by Billboard’s rules a Remix is only credited if it accounts for 51% or more of a song’s chart points. Beyonce’s Remix only had more chart points in its first week and should only be credited for one week. It isn’t rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
