Can somebody explain to me how Too Good at Goodbyes has been in the Top 10 for so long? This song was such a non-event, and the album kind of flopped, yet this song has been Top 10 for what seems like the last 5 months The streaming numbers are weighted based on where they come from. Which streams did you have that were paid vs. non paid? Maybe you need to adjust your models to account for that.

Both Mars 24k Magic (1.7-1.8 M) and That's What I Like (1.7 M) couldn't reach 2 M despite their superb sales longevity, so I doubt Fitness will reach 1.5 M. Swift would've hit 2 M with the right opening song, but Look will probably stop at 1.2-1.3 M. However, I don't know how much she lost with CMA. Despacito looked strong enough late last summer to reach 3 M, but it's probably going to top out around 2.7 M, with Shape Of You possibly catching up but not surpassing 2.7 M. A Grammy boost could've got SOY to 2.75 M, but Ed wasn't nominated for anything of the top level categories. Perfect will reach 1.6M next week so 2M seems very likely. Finesse won't be a big seller, it's too urban. It will probably struggle to reach 1M imo Wow I thought Despacito was closer to 3M. CSTF! will remain unbothered then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which streams did you have that were paid very non paid? BB hasn't changed the streaming weights yet, though doing so at the start of the 2018 CY would've been the best time to do it. Right now, the only weight differences are with on demand (ODS & VS) and Pandora types of streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Blurred Lines do 400k+, 6 weeks in a row, and 300k+ for like 10 weeks Happy also sold 300k+ for like 8 consecutive weeks. This was the norm for #1 smash hits during 2013/2014, it hasn't even really been 5 years yet but these sales are impossible today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer is at 2.91-2.92 M, so it'll reach 3 M before the end of 2018. UK Mix had Despacito with 2.67 M at the end of 2017, which I think BB had too. But it's barely in the Top 100 at ITunes now.

Even in early 2015, UF had seven straight weeks of 300k downloads, and UF has now pulled well ahead of BL & Happy. But, barring a miracle, those days have long since come and gone.

Isaiah Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I refuse to believe havana has the lead for #1 until the #1 is actually hers.
