Legend X opens @ #1 on BillBoard with iTunes sales


Slay bitch.

At least you WORKED for it

 

[Matt_]

Poor brave Jimmy Fallon being made to sit through that song so many times.
And poor brave me for waiting for fucking ages to post that

These servers need an adrenaline shot

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Also these servers need CPR stat

EDIT: What program are y'all using to create JPGs out of videos? Avidemux doesn't allow it in the newest version. Mess.

 

[Trigger]

Someone save GAF.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Someone save GAF.

It's a sign of the apocalypse because The Monster is back at #1 on iTunes.

It is the end of times, my friends.

with radio support and another performance, it could be the first song to go #1 on BB Hot 100 purely because of her since Lady Marmalade in 2001

 

[Wafflecakes]

The song is already outside of the top 10 and radio isn't showing any signs of picking up up quite yet.

You are setting yourself up for disappointment if you are looking for a Hot 100 #1.

Slay, Legendtina.

And the marketing push hasn't even started yet. Seems like they're not stalling with promo like with Lotus era; video was filmed last week, so expect a big push for this song.

 

[Soulscribe]

Dope came in at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100?

Not it outperforming Judas and Marry The Night ;___;

Spoiler

Well deserved though

 

[Matt_]

HDD are predicting 250k-275k

If she opens at #2

 

[Soulscribe]

The decay

 

[Matt_]

Also, how did Dope only debut with 31k sold when she had 100k+ preorders and venus + Dwuw opened 125K+? She should have been at least top 10 on the digital chart, not #60

WHAT THE F**K...

 

[You Know Nothing]

RIP, her pop career.

Jazz album for fourth please.

 

[Wafflecakes]

STRONG danger of not going #1 next week.

Let me go buy Eminem's album.


EDIT: NAWT HER BEING OUTSOLD BY KATY FIRST WEEK.

 

[Vazduh]

Just heard the alleged "Tick Tick Boom" demo. If that wasn't fake, all I can say is... Oh, Britney... Phlegm Fatale suddenly starts to seem like an amazing album.

 

[You Know Nothing]

STR


EDIT: NAWT HER BEING OUTSOLD BY KATY FIRST WEEK.

The decay is real.

 

[Wafflecakes]

At least Monsters have the #8 debut for Dope based on streaming alone.

I never realized live performance streams counted towards the chart.....

 

[Soulscribe]

Seems like she's gunning for some longevity since her US promo restarts with SNL this weekend, then continues into the end of the month.

Still though, if that number counts pre-orders then that's like 150,000 fresh purchases. Yikes girl.

Maybe she stands to learn something from Katy Perry last era and just make smart singles choices; the album will sell along the way. You won't get headlines for it but you'll get the installed base up. Teenage Dream sold really well and most of those sales were made in short bursts following a hit single.

I wonder if she's upset by this. lol

 

[Matt_]

I am in legit shock
Like, I knew it wouldnt do BTW numbers (despite my dodgy prediction in like August) but I would NEVER have guessed she would struggle to hit 300k

 

[3phemeral]

Until the final sales numbers come through, I'll just distract myself with this gif:

Mesmerizing.

No promo or hit single right now. Applause is floating but it's been out for a long time. We should have pieced this together but I guess we assumed that because she's as big as she is that the album would sell a lot regardless.

Wait.... is this her 4 era? ;___;

A lot will depend on DWUW. She needs a big single to push albums.

Applause obviously didn't do the job.

HDD is usually fairly accurate once the album starts selling.

Edit: DP

The music's actually good tho.

 

[Matt_]

Maybe it will teach ha to actually perform her single and not some random album songs. It didn't work for Christina last year and its not working now

well at least I had like 2 years to use her success to drag others :keir:

 

[Wafflecakes]

On the bright side.... Gaga is still going to outsell the first weeks of all 7 of Rihanna's albums!

Acting like that is some kind of big achievement

DWUW video needs to drop

 

[Yado]

I bet those Dope performances deterred the public.

The Black Madonna had nothing to do with this.

 

[Soulscribe]

Dope premiered at #8 on the Hot 100, so probably not. lol

 

[Wafflecakes]

Dope going #8 only goes to show how bad of a metric streaming is.

It did not chart on the Airplay chart and was outside the top 50 on digital.



(I say this as a 1D stan..... they are carried by streaming.)

 

[Artemisia]

260k?

260,000?

two hundred and sixty thousand?

Now imagine what could have been if she had been pushing a good song.

Has nothing to do with the song honestly. Was all the video.

It was promoted to high heavens on youtube. I swear that almost every music video I watched had an advertisement for it.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS A REAL POP EMERGENCY.

I didn't know there was a video for Dope, is it from the Artrave thing?

 

[Wafflecakes]

It was the live performance yes.

(I am still questioning when live performance videos started counting.)

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

I predicted 777k before Applause came out

damn i'll never win a gift card
