The way all of the legends have come back this year and said “we still got it”. Bey, Nicki, Brit, Who’s next?

Hopefully Rihanna.

The same way Stay and other songs did.

Hold Me Closer is soooo close to a Top 10 debut  Im freaking out!!!

 

I want soo bad this to debut at the Top 10!!

 

Keep streaming 

 

also is 22k pure sales kind of low, is he underestimating the sales ? 

 

 

[Roberto]

Is it possible a top 10 debut for Brit? That would be insane, although a top 20 is more than fine.

Would rather see Britney go harder with a better song tbh. Nice to see her label investing in her with radio payola and playlisting, but this song sucks. Hope they do the same for her next lead single, if there ever is one

It's Elton's team. I really doubt RCA is promoting Britney. 
 

She is coming  we need BMS drop more on radio

stream Bad Habits we don't need another week of As It Wasn't at #1

Hold Me Closer's sales are severely underestimated. If SFG is at 12k, I think HMC's sales are going to be closer to 40k. Outside of AIW and Bad Habits, the margins are so close. I wouldn't be surprised if HMC ends up at #3 when this is all said and done.

Hold Me Closer doesn't have website sales and SFG does. Website sales allows a fan to buy 4 copies at one time per credit card whereas normal iTunes only allows one sale per account.

If this prediction is true then the Britney Army needs to go harder with sales. It could be her last chance to score a top 10 hit.

Radio is climbing. There will be a week where we get physicals, website sales and a music video and that should be our peak, especially with an increase in airplay.

TMZ told you that HMC was #1 on iTunes in 30 countries. It's not their fault that you can't read

Billboard changes the rules this year to stop mass buying, so only 1 digital copies per one account for Website sales (the same rules like iTunes).

SFG have multi version/remix, so her sales increase because of that.

 

anyway is that true finally Elton put HMC on his website store?

I hope this will push HMC sales and we get that Top 10

The source for Billboard’s rule change is SingleMusic. It doesn’t seem to be posted anywhere on Billboard’s website and every source links back to Single Music, which is just a blog.

[nathanspears]

He's estimating 19.2m airplay by Thursday? I think it's going to be more than that

Yes, I can’t find official source from billboard too,

 

but because of that news from Single Music BTS Armys never mass buying their song again this year.

they always use 1 email/account to purchase 1 digital copies.

 

idk in Nicki’s case why SFG have 89k sales last week but only 15k sales this week

 

but I’m happy if these rules are wrong, so we can buy up to 4 set copies song from Elton’s store.

In an ideal world, Janet Jackson  

With all the positive press he's gotten throughout the year, I would also love to see Usher joining the elite. He deserves it so much.

I second this. We will be streaming to add some much-needed quality and flavour to the #1 spot.
