Is A Bar Song holding the record for longest discount?

[SoldierofLove]

It feels like A Bar Song has been $0.69 on iTunes since it was released. Is this the longest discount ever? The discount seems to be helping it stay at #1 especially when the points are so close. 

 

Don't our pop girls usually only discount when they have a fighting chance for #1 and then the price goes back to $1.29?

They can charge whatever they want. iTunes has very little impact on the charts now anyway. It's the radio play that's keeping it at the top.

This type of discounts is great when the artist/label wants to push a song for a week or two but I doubt this changes a lot of things when so few people are buying music on itunes these days.

See when you're in demand

Exactly . 

[Draper.]

Most artists would do exactly the same (or more) if they had a chance to get the longest running #1, so who cares?

Anyone paying $1.29 for a song in 2024 is already crazy so $0.69 is fine. A real discount would be $0.39 or something

I think Million Reasons might hold that record

It doesn't matter. You would get like 4-5k sales max per week on iTunes these days

 

At $1.29, the revenue = 1.29 x 5k = $6,450

At $0.69, the revenue = 0.69 x 5k = $3,450

 

So there's really no reason to keep the song at full price
