The visuals for The Gift came a year after the album was dropped, so that comparison is (hopefully) a stretch
Yakult Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) The UK charts are super close right now. A few thousand sales could possibly make the difference between charting at #3 and #7/8. Beyoncé is currently #5 in the midweeks (#4 AM, #5 Spotify, #6 Amazon & iTunes). Her competitors are all excelling on different platforms, it's tough to call. Edited July 17, 2022 by Yakult
monologueNacafe Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 5 hours ago, Thinking Of You said: No. There’s a difference between low radio play as a result of ageism and low radio play because the material is simply not good, or there being a lack of interest of the artist the GP. Whenever black artists release something good with radio appeal, it’ll be played. Especially on rhythmic, regardless of the age. Pharrell still had the biggest radio hit of what seemed of the entire decade, Happy’, when he was 41 years old. Jay-Z had two big radio hits, ‘Holy Grail’ and ‘N****** in Paris’ when he was over 40 years old. Flo Rida had the #1 song on radio with, My House, as he was nearing his 40s. Mariah had another radio hit, ‘Beautiful’, when she was over 40. Don’t get me started on Black artists in their 30s or the genuine support on R&B radio regardless of age. So no, your statement is false. You have no idea what you’re talking about

Even if she loses positions this new week and the week after, she's going to certainly increase in 3 weeks during album release and reach a new peak in the UK (potentially aiming for #1), thus preventing her from being out of the charts due to that stupid UK rule Edited July 17, 2022 by *-ChriZ-*

Every song on The Gift received a visual and they were high budget videos and consisted of traveling to African countries and there was very little in return revenue, so perhaps they are being cautious about budgeting for videos this era.

carameldelight Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 I personally don’t like it when streaming doesn’t match radio. This is what happens, there’s only so much radio can do.

And the label has an endless amount of coins when it comes to her.

Those videos came one whole year after the album already bombed so she knew they'd be no return on investment, plus it was her own money. And most of those videos were filmed in studio, she traveled to Africa like she always does but not just to film those videos. There's little to no correlation to this situation. OT : There were just a couple points between 9 and 11 last predictions so this is what I was expecting.
abeille Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Almost Home said: Well Other predictions have it at #9 or #10. Radio is looking good so it's likely that it'll spend another week
Armani? Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Almost Home said: Well Only they have it predicted at #11 Both Winston and Chart Essentials have it at #9 Cedric didnt post his yet
qurl Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 there is obviously a video already filmed for the song and im quite sure the footage existed at the time of the song’s release as well , she just …. i respect her for attempting to defy the current climate of songs / streaming / radio whatever but long eras don’t exist anymore. the video most def should have been released but i guess she’s waiting for album release week. still it’s not the wisest strategy. whatever it’s not about the charts anymore. the song is still a banger and i’m sure the album(s) will be flawless as well. i just selfishly want sh*t to move quicker.

Why does everyone say eras don’t last long anymore? If anything I feel like tik tok prolongs it. I hear the same songs over and over. Olivia is still going off the Sour album, same with Billie, etc..

Sour is also a phenom as far as albums go and Olivia has the benefit of being a new artist. i can’t speak to Billie but i also imagine her album is pretty much done too chart wise. touring is obviously different u can still tour the album for like up to two years after the release but as far as charting goes things peak much quicker now. it’s a product/testament of the instantaneous-ness of the streaming era. i was speaking from more of a perspective of the song still reaching a higher chart position tho that doesn’t really matter as much. the song is still a hit and such an ear-worm that it will have life long beyond this one month that we’ve had it.

Pretty sure Mary J was nearing 40 when Be Without You was dominating most formats of radio…what they posted does have some truth to it.
selena_lavigne Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 this song is such a bop. i personally don't need a MV to enjoy a song.

Draper. Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Why are people acting like the song is over if it falls to #11 on the Hot 100? Specially when it’s a 2 point difference between #9 - #11. She’s most likely charting on the top 10 the following week regardless and #11 still outcharts half the singles she put out last decade, let’s not.
