Britney Spears :: Charts & Sales History

Sure Jan. And you’re who now?

Just a butthurt troll duplicate account. That person created the account just a couple days ago to make these kind of posts in the Britney thread.

Lol at “massive investment” Are we gonna act like all this playlisting (and more) isn’t the norm for major releases? Maybe you’re just not used to your fave artists getting the same treatment.

You’re acting like the song was #1 on Today’s Top Hits upon release, when it just entered the Top 10 today, 3.5 weeks after its release. And there’s obviously a reason for that. If people were skipping it or the GP wasn’t connecting to it, do you really think it would go up on the biggest playlist in the world? No, of course not.

By the way … since when expectations for this song turned so insanely ambitous to the point of getting a few people treating this song as if it was OUT of the Hot 100 or something? … Last thing I remember is that prior to release when the song got announced we were crossing fingers for a 2M Spotify update on the OPENING DAY …. If someone had told me that this would be getting 1,5M updates on Spotify alone nearly 30 days after it’s release I would have not believed it. This is great for Britney.

Second, what’s with these dupe trolls constantly posting about this “not being embraced” by GP? This is not a bubbling under song we’re talking about. A song that is on the race to hit Top 10 in UK for a 4th consecutive week and that it’s not looking to leave the Hot 100’s Top 40 anytime soon is far from being an ignored song, this is embraced!. Try harder next time.

Third, Can you stop trolling? Acting as if the song is pulling “Terrible” streams when the numbers are clearly Britney’s best of all time numbers it’s dumb. The lame excuse that just because it’s on TTH playlist the song then should pull +10M daily streams or something out of this world doesn’t make sense as there are songs on that playlist that are pulling worse numbers than HMC. Ridiculous statements

And finally. Demand sometimes is not about an specific number but about pleasing the core or target audience. TTH is not removing this song from their playlist due to “low demand” or “concerning numbers”, on the contrary they have been increasing the song’s position on their playlist every week because they are seeing good results, they wouldn’t increase the song’s position if they didn’t notice the song is working with the target audience. This won’t get urban type of numbers because this doesn’t have any crossover factor appeal outside of the pop field. Every song is different and this has proven to be a song that has been able to please it’s target, core and stable audience steadily and effectively for basically a month. That’s why TTH is embracing it!

Haters are so pressed it has 'massive reach' then why it isn't no 1 on all playlists? Does David Guetta has more money than Elton John then?

Kindly admit the fact that the song is not 'Cold Heart' but it's smashing in it's own way it's not Britney's fault that your faves have flopped.

Exactly this. I can think of so many songs that started at #1 on Today's Top Hits (or other big playlists like Viva Latino or RapCaviar) and then were out of the Top 10 a couple weeks later. That's a bad result. Means the demand just wasn't as big as they expected.

But, if a song goes from #21 > #15 > #13 > #11 > #10... wouldn't that mean the opposite? We're not talking about any playlist. It's far and away the most important playlist in the industry. The editors don't think "everyone is skipping this, so let's make it go higher".

USA sales are probably around 300k now

[britarmy07]

Up to #27 on the overall radio chart (kworb edition).

[Instinct]

Up to #7 on Hot Hits UK. This is the highest it has been yet!

[Fabrizio]

The song has crossed 625.000 shazam plays.

if rumors are true In less than 24 hours we will have new versions of the song

[Britneysdream]

Yay at the uk increase on hots hits that’s great

[Bennyyyyyy]

I still don’t know why some people still be like „this is not like CH“ or „that doesn’t pull the same numbers like CH“ when CH wasn’t even close to HMCs peaks 3 weeks after its release lol

If we really wanna compare those two songs than we should wait a bit longer!

[InFamous]

So cool to see this hit top ten on TTH! Let's keep streaming and take it into the top 5!

[Britneysdream]

9 in the uk midweeks today, have a funny feeling it will end up 11 on Friday

[Instinct]

Hopefully with the Hot Hits increase it can manage to stay in the Top 10!
