Its exit at just 26 weeks was premature, but Hello had such a strong start that it didn't have many more weeks left. Now, had Hello not have hit at AC right as the format switched to Christmas music, I think that would've given it more longevity at the other formats. Also, had Adele's label released the biggest remixes for downloads and streaming, Hello would've had more sales, which also would likely had a few more weeks. However, even with all of these other factors working perfectly right though, I still don't think Hello could've made it past 40 weeks. These other areas would've added to Adele's time in all of the other part of the charts too. Hello might have gotten 14+ #1 weeks too. The biggest obstacle for HELLO was the release of 25 just 4 weeks after it debuted, and the album selling 8 million in just 2 months. If HELLO was released 3 months before the album I can't even imagine how big it would've been.

The set has also generated 2.05 billion on-demand audio streams for its songs. As for Badlands, the set has tallied 1.3 million equivalent album units, of which 533,000 are in traditional album sales.

One wants to beat Mariah's record, and DJ Khalid wants another #1. And iTunes' cheapest song is .69 cents. I don't think they allow discounts any lower. Edited August 4, 2017 by Mattyboy

I think Google Play and Amazon will go as low as $0.39 (US) for downloads. For ITunes, it's either $0.69, $0.99, or $1.29 (US). If ITunes offered a $0.39 option, some labels would surely be willing to discount their songs that low, even if it's just for one-two weeks.

Wasn't one song discounted to like $0.25 one time?

If HELLO was released 3 months before the album I can't even imagine how big it would've been. Yeah I was trying to think of other things outside of 25's release that could have helped "Hello" become a bigger smash. With a 90-day lead, UF and OSD, and maybe even The Twist, couldn't have compared with its power. If Hello was given a three-month release advance instead of just three weeks, could 25 have still beat No Strings Attached? I think 25 would have still opened up with 2.5 M (NSA had 2.4 M) instead of 3.4 M had Hello been given more time to chart on its own. Adele is Adele, and no one else can match her sales power. I also think her label should have released a CD single for the song, given the demographic of her fans. That would've sold 500,000 with a 3-month advance too.

There was actually a duet between Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin that was only $0.01 if you bought the parent album (some time around 2000). Some stores actually sold the single alone at $0.01, but BB didn't count those sales.

DJ Khaled could also discount the song in 2 weeks. Macarena had fallen to #26 in airplay in its last week at #1. The sales outlasted radio airplay by a huge margin. Macarena was the #1 Song of 1996 and the #1 Sales Song of 1996, but it ended the year at #50 in airplay. I could see Despacito burning out at radio fairly fast, but its other numbers are still way ahead. Still, I do have a funny feeling that something unexpected will happen around week 14. As huge as UF was, even SYA slayed UF before it could reach 16 #1 weeks.
volition Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 why are ppl acting like songs will follow the exact same points change for weeks as the week before

I remember the song being #1 overall while not dominate sales, streaming or airplay chart. That was weird.
