Where is this 65k additional coming from? And FEFE will be 25k SPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I overestimated but I see her doing at least 200k. The eight tracks on the HDD chart (including Fefe) doesn’t even put her at 100M first week and realistically the rest of the tracks got around 20-25M so 125M converted into SPS isn’t even 100k on top of her 60k pure that’s roughly 160k so where is the extra 40k coming from? You’re overestimating quite a bit, maybe because you’re a stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it realistically speaking, her streams are really low when you put it into perspective that only 8/20 of her tracks ranked in the top 50 on HDD when Travis had his entire album and so did Drake.

You’re overestimating quite a bit, maybe because you’re a stan. Okay then..I’m giving her an extra 40k based on the bundles and the high iTunes performance, plus CD’s shipped before Friday. Maybe it’s a little high, but I think HDD expected her to drop faster on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then stayed till Thursday. That’s really good for a first week, as low as sales are. I’d say 50-60k on iTunes alone. 75k with the bundles.. These are all guesses. For all we know she could have 100k pure sales with the merch, the CD’s & iTunes performance.. Plus bundles had to do better since the initial prediction.

Why drag her for making up for it? She's getting dragged because of how close it is. If she had physicals and she didn't all these tricks she still would have gotten dragged for 1) not coming close to Cardi with digital/physical/merch/tour bundle and 2) barely beating Travis. Like he shouldn't even be close to her in the first place. She should have been at 200k since the first predictions 10 minutes ago, C.Damen said: The blond Octavia (from The 100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igetfilthy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The outcome of the chart battle between YMCMB/Republic's Nicki Minaj and Cactus Jack/Grand Hustle/Epic's Travis Scott is still very much up in the air. With just hours to go before our chart is final, we're still waiting to determine whether Nicki's D2C will surpass Travis' and counter his streaming advantage. Needless to say, this is an instance where every transaction and every stream is essential. Feel free to grab your abacus and count along. (And yes, the last time we said, "Grab your abacus," someone called HR.) Monte and Sylvia, meanwhile, will return your calls after they've hit "refresh" a few thousand more times. http://m.hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=313055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
