It definately won't hang on the chart for half a year like Thrift Shop or Gangnam Style, but its drop won't be THAT radical... I give it maybe 3 months till it's dead.NothingFails wrote:Curious to see Harlem Shake's trajectory once the "have you seen this?" fad wears out... 1-1-1-7-9-91?
I felt so stupid defending it at #1 because I thought it was a Thrift Shop/Gangnam Style type of thing where an official video was popular and the song took off as a result, as opposed to it just being a 30 second clip of randomness.
Yea, when I finally saw the "video" (if we can call it that) I was "THIS is what the fuss was about?". I swear two weeks ago when I was defending it, I really thought that it was an actual music video that was being buzzed about like crazy, like what happened with PSY and Macklemore.Timmy94 wrote:It definately won't hang on the chart for half a year like Thrift Shop or Gangnam Style, but its drop won't be THAT radical...

Called that! US radio is late on the Harlem Shake trend... like they're late for every trendGUS wrote:Still, "Shake" is gaining in on-demand streaming and radio airplay. It rises 17-15 on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs with 820,000 streams (up 2%) and enters the Pop Songs and Rhythmic radio airplay charts at Nos. 38 and 40. Its total audience swells by 33%, but, at 7.9 million, it does not yet appear on the 75-position-deep all-format Radio Songs chart.
No worries - at least now you know why everyone was going nuts about it. I've seen my share of inane songs make the charts but the fashion that they rigged the system for a stunt is pretty pathetic. It's actually worse that...NothingFails wrote:Yea, when I finally saw the "video" (if we can call it that) I was "THIS is what the fuss was about?".

Not just one clip - between 30 and 50 clips! There isn't one set video for it! THAT's where the new rule is ridiculous. Any official clip or a clip approved by the artist/ record company can be included. Baauer is an independent artist, he'll grab all the exposure he can get - he's not gonna disapprove anything. Major record labels could end up doing the same purely to boost chart positions.NothingFails wrote:Curious to see Harlem Shake's trajectory once the "have you seen this?" fad wears out... 1-1-1-7-9-91?
