iTunes sales =/= radio success Of course not, but generally an unknown artist to get airplay on pop needs being played (generally near the top) on other charts or getting some love on itunes

Anyway, it's quite weird. Generally american radio couldn't care less about success overseas, specially if it's not in the UK. And this song was only successful in a part of europe, it didn't came to smash in south europe yet
Love me again was way more successful in whole europe (Uk included) and it didn't get this reception on pop at all (and the sales were better).
Frankly it's difficult to believe that there were tons of buzz around a song that it wasn't top 500 on itunes when entered in top 50 on pop. I find way more credibly that their company think they have a big hit in their hands an push a couple of buttoms to make their song make their way to radio

I don't think it's been released in the UK yet, though.

^ Yeah it hasn't been, but it's still not a UK hit which is what matters. I think I said a few weeks back that I couldn't think of a single example of a European hit crossing over to the US without having UK success on board. I definitely believe there's some 'legal payola' or whatever going on, but I'm happy enough because I love the song and I'm sure it has the merit that it could do it naturally (albeit many months later).

That's because it's not the normal path. If you have a hit all over europe the following step is to pursue a hit on the UK. Uk is a big market and a lot easier to reach successfully than the USA. First of all because music tastes are similar, and even if UK exports more music than import, european hit being big in Uk are nor rare.

KIIS just added this. It's official. This will be a hit.
I'm surprised at these duos coming along quite nicely. First LMFAO near the tail end of the 2000's, then came Karmin, Macklemore, Icona Pop, MKTO... I sense a new trend coming.
EDIT: 3rd most added so far with 31 adds, including KIIS.

Oh I'm very glad to see the sales doing great! Now I don't have to feel slightly guilty for supporting its probably payola-fueled climb

I was expecting it to be a little higher considering it's sales strength in the past week.
