BZZ Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Does anyone remember why Barbie Dreams didn't end up debuting as high as predicted? I'm trying to figure out if #6 is actually realistic or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out if #6 is actually realistic or not. Frankly, as is with all Nicki Minaj releases, they're ridiculously front-loaded. Barbie Dreams was expected to chart high because the people who tracked that **** assumed it would have a normal increase in streams or at least maintain it's initial streams throughout the week. However, it dropped like a rock a few days thus the initial predictions (that didn't account for this type of projection) had it much higher. Shallow has already debuted and the song has only grown (significantly) throughout the week (it's now in its 3rd week and still growing). The predictions are likely accurate because the song is stable and is maintaining the momentum that those predictions accounted for.

Even PI could debut in top5 this week ! 14 hours ago, Before the Dawn said: The #1 is indeed weak rn but it's a different formula sweetie, she won. Uh... And ? The formula was adjusted to give more weight to paid streams; it has nothing to do with overall points being weak these past few weeks. Chart experts on Pulse music board were saying it too. Another example; this was after the new formula too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just no strong standouts and everything is middling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordt, the Hot 100 is so weak right now; I remember when Needed Me peaked at #7 with 260 points… Wild Thoughts went #2 with nearly double the amount of points the current #1 song has... Insane! It's not that the hot 100 is weak tho It's that digital sales barely give a lot of points anymore and same for radio. I feel like we won't be seeing anymore songs with 400-500 points unless it's Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jude Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 @simmnfierzig Thanks for your early prediction! But I think INLA should be higher than ARUTW. It's doing better in sales and streaming and has some cute ai. Did you consider its combined versions' stat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
