It's important to note that all of those were released before the streaming era, though.

Yes, but it's not like RFI? is getting much from YouTube.

Spotify is it's only advantage & diminishing sales prevented it from a higher peak.

Her previous promo singles, for comparison:

IKYWT 3 -- 23

She kinda has to release this as a single.

 

RFI 4 -- 21

 

She knew the song was trouble when she released it

[Thickorita]

RFI already is a single though. It was sent to radio and it has a playlist audience of 65 million. Saying that it was just chucked out and left to die on its own like her other promo singles is incorrect, it's being pushed

Well yes, obviously sales are far more frontloaded than they used to be. But streaming is 1) more important and 2) less frontloaded. So what I'm getting at is that if those promo singles were released in 2017, they probably wouldn't have had such drastic second week drops. 

 

And yes, Taylor is bigger than ever, so they probably still would have had drops bigger than RFI. Just not as big as they did.

Why did Niall suddenly jump 4 spots this week after being stagnant for weeks?

Sam's debut ruined Niall's Top 10

It's rare, but not entirely uncommon

Mmm, Pokémon taught me that "rare" is higher-level status than "uncommon."

 

Also, this statement doesn't make sense anyway, Billboard.

[LustSpell]

Ah, so next week is a three-way deadlock fight for #1? Interesting

These lists are too easily manipulated to matter. Someone point me to the songs on there that are good. I feel like I have heard 10 out of the 100

[Agenor]

This week's points (using Simm's formula):

 

1. LWYMMD - 425 (- 189)

2. Bodak Yellow - 358 (- 43)

So happy for Sam Smith but at the same time if he wouldn't have debuted Niall would've been Top 10 this week

Cardi is definitely #1 next week, it's gaining on streaming, radio and especially sales this week.
