Like Steal my Girl and Best Song Ever and Live While Were Young, this will decline fast. A slower One D song like Story of my Life and Night Changes type will take the spotlight and be the better single. No way in hell Drag Me Down will debut in Number 1 on Billboard Charts and no way it will reach year end charts too.

I like this. It dosen't sound as poppy as most of their other first singles which alot of times sound similar to "What Makes You Beautiful".

This sounds like a unmastered Maroon 5 leftover. It's actually not too bad though.

This sounds pretty good, but it's not as strong or instant to me as all of their other first singles were. It's not a bad song and I hope this can have an impact on the charts. However, I don't see this doing much of anything.

Not bad, but the chorus doesn't really go anywhere. They sound pretty different w/out Zayn, but I prefer it

The model has sometimes proven errant when it comes to these monster first day sales totals. That said, if Kworb has it selling at 7x the pace of Can't Feel My Face and growing, a 200K+ first day isn't unfathomable.

If it is going to debut at #1 it will need to be #1 on iTunes with a significant lead for most if not all of the week to make up for a lack of a YouTube video. I also think they should've waited for the radio deal until Sunday as it will have its 8 day effect thing within this week's radio tracking week, which will knock a bit of its radio (like 5SOS)

Yep, but like I said, you should take the first day data with a grain of salt, as I'm not entirely sure how that data is modeled.

There is also the possibility it could collapse by tomorrow morning (CFTS died faster than I thought). I think it is way too early to be guessing where it will debut

I gotta to hand it to these guys, they sure do experiment with their sound more than any other boy band in history that I can think of.
And before someone jumps down my throat: a boyband to me a is a group of boys who primarily sing and do not play instruments.

I love this on first listen. I've really enjoyed every one of their lead singles thus far and I like that even though they all sound a bit different, they all feel like they belong together. They're definitely very consistent for me. Really looking forward to seeing how this does at radio and just hearing more new music from them.

Their songs on radio have a tendency to start like skyrocketing to only hit a brick wall before drop like a stone (they are not the only ones, it was Bieber tendency before Boyfriend, and 5SOS singles do exactly the same). As boyband they are on the verge of their shelf life, or they evolve to a more adult sound or they will be done soon. I think now with the social media, very popular teen singers and teen bands have more opportunities than in the past, and we are watching more transitions to adult singers more and less successful, so they can do it but frankly i don't know if they really want
