Why is 'Rockabye' so high? Any other reasons besides it's an amazing song and gets discounted? Did they perform it somewhere?

still, even Beyonce and Adele managed to scrape some of the tracks to Top 10 and they arent singles artists as well

Adele is (see: Rolling In The Deep, Someone Like You, Set Fire To The Rain, Hello).

 

"Perfect" and "Dive" will do great. He'll be more than fine.

Idk I just expected a lil bit for  Ed more...:x

Like I said in the other thread - Lorde is NOT flopping. I swear some of y'all expect every artist to peak at number one and stay there for days. You all were stanning yesterday, now that it's dark red yall changed your mind? Lorde has only had one era, she's still building her fanbase and it's been four years. The average pop listener likely doesn't even know the song is out yet.

I think his stature in America was overestimated a bit by the industry. He's only had one real smash there ("Thinking Out Loud") and X did not have a huge opening week. And that album, while very popular, wasn't HUGE like Adele or Taylor Swift or even Eminem's last album. He's big for sure, but not HUUUUGE. I wouldn't be shocked at Divide doing less than 300k pure sales in its first week.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to the discount, but they also performed it on Good Morning America:

 

 

Taylor needs to tweet about Ed's new album so all his songs will go top 20.

No. Taylor needs to do a quick lil dance to Shining  

-5%  Lorde, sis, STAHP IT.

 

"Rockabye" coming for top 5 in the next update

Rockabye can stay smashing anywhere else but the US

So dumb it hurts

The Coldsmokers extending their lead in the U.K. even though Ed's album is out 

 

I'm not worried about the red updates in the U.S. because it had a banner and was taken off hot tracks so that's normal and will stabilize soon, also their performing this at iheartradio!

First predictions are in with 350-425k SPS which would put it under 300k for pure sales. Come again?

I think Ed will do better more because of streaming than sales.

Yes, streaming will be huge at least for Ed.

Ed is smashing on Spotify, which is what matters. He's never been a huge single seller.

Yes this needs to crossover to Pop radio.

Was #1 on AAA and will be #1 on ALT soon

---------

Something Just Like This holding strong in the U.K.! It needs to hold until the countless Shape Of You remixes wear off. 

The timing of the video release needs to be perfect.

:praying:

"Human" needs to be a US hit NOW

Ed sold 232,000 copies on Friday in the UK alone. More than x sold in the whole first week in UK
