Well, that's expected. Katy is a big name and all her songs are going to be well received, but her new song is not top 10 on itunes, and after Birthday underperformed (not on this chart anyway, because it peaked at 8 when song like Say Something or Let her go, that were way more successful peaked at similar positions) if it not explode on sales i doubt it will reach top 10.
I like Rather be, but the airplay was totally manufactured. It's true that the deal really affected the sales, so people like the song, but the airplay is too high anyway.
For a while i feared radio would ignore Chandelier despite the sales, but that won't be the case. Sia is charting at an age most big stars begin to have trouble on radio, and yes, i think the song should be higher (a good bunch of songs above Chandelier are doing way worse in sales) but i think it will peak in the top 10 (or at least i hope so)

The pop showing is rather inexcusable, but at least the Hot AC gain is pretty mighty.

You know that guy at the bar who's a mess and you're embarrassed for him because he has no idea he's a trainwreck and you want to tell him to go home but it's not your place and even if you did say something, he wouldn't get it and it wouldn't make a difference because he's dumb but pretty?
That's Pop radio with this song.

This is ridiculous. It's totally killing it on iTunes, and has been top 10-ish there for a solid month now (IIRC). Nearly up to top 5 right now and CHR simply doesn't seem to care that people obviously love this. I shudder to think what it would have done here if people didn't love it so much and discover it on their own. CHR is supposed to help mainstream friendly songs like this by lesser known artists reach a wider audience, but they've done this one zero favors.

Relax everyone. Pop Radio has proven how irrelevant it is in the past year when people have been indifferent towards half of Katy Perry's ("Unconditionally" and "Birthday") yet they still went top 10. In the long run "Chandelier" has the youtube views, Digital sales, buzz, and longevity to be remembered as the bigger hit by the general public while "Birthday" and "Unconditionally" will be largely forgotten.
Besides it went top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (where both "Unconditionally" and "Birthday") failed to do so and that's the chart that really measures overall popularity.

No reason to compare to a Katheryn Hudson track, though, as she's a younger, radio darling, and Sia Furler is not.

I heard this on the radio again yesterday and imo there's still something about the way that this is mixed that doesn't translate well over the airwaves. It sounds a lot better on headphones and earphones, but for some reason comes across as kinda flat on the radio. Every time this has come on on the radio, I get a bit excited, but within half a second I just wanna listen to it on Spotify or iTunes instead.

I reached a point where I thought I was over this song about a month ago but I'm not yet. I still love hearing it. Keep slaying!

Why can't pop radio just be consistent with the nice gains? This back-and-forth movement is unnecessary for a track that's obviously clicked with the public.

At least it nudged up a spot on the Hot 100 this week. And while it moved to 21* on Radio Songs, it just doesn't look like radio is going to give it the amount of play to match its sales/streaming performance.

If pop radio doesn't stay consistent one way or another, I may lose it.

Radio is so embarrassing sometimes. Like the out-of-touch old guy at a party who wants to be "hip" but can't quite get it right.
