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
 
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.

Legend X opens @ #1 on BillBoard with iTunes sales


Slay bitch.

At least you WORKED for it

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
 
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.)

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.

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