8th day effect. Obviously not as pronounced because it didn't have a MASSIVE first full week of airplay.

Is there a reason why this posted flop first week sales numbers? He's not a MASSIVE star or a MASSIVE seller, but the ~23K Kworb is forecasting seems especially weak for a new Nick Jonas single with airplay...

This sounded like a smash on the radio tbh. Can see it being pretty big.

I think Nick has yet to have a strong enough fanbase and public presence for him to sell a lot. Jealous is a mostly radio hit with decent sales and stream. Chains has decent sales but flopped a bit in radio.

I like the video! The DWTS-esque choreography sections were hot. The dancers are fierce.

Nick looks great in the video. The song has not really grown on me yet. It's just kinda average.

Still digging this song and the video complements it quite nicely. Nick's star keeps rising for me with each additional single.

This is sooo overshadowed by Bieber, Taylor, and (hate to say it) Mackelmore. Nick got jipped doing the pre-show, but more importantly who thought anyone would care about his video being released on the same day as Justin's and Taylor's? It would have made more noise if they held out and released it this or next week instead.

It gave it a decent iTunes boost (let's hope it doesn't descend back to the mid-60s), but it pains me to see the video at 1.3 mil after 4 days of release. :(

It seems like the VMAs pre-show performance, the release of the video on to YouTube, the iTunes release, and the teaser videos on Instagram are the only promo that this single is going to get which is a shame considering that this is a pretty good song. It also seems like the label is counting on the single(s) doing well based on the hype and buzz Nick had with the prior era. He is going to have to get out there and perform it on some shows and/or do something else because what is being done now isn't working and is going to eventually kill any chances he has to do well because radio will be less and less receptive to each subsequent underperformance. He isn't Jason DeRulo or Maroon 5. They can keep throwing something new out to radio and then bounce back without any obstacles even after several underperformances or even major flops. Nick is still considered a "new artist" as a solo artist so it could still be a rocky road ahead. There was a time when I thought that Rihanna was going to be a one-hit wonder after "If It's Lovin' That You Want" underperformed, but then she came out with "S.O.S. (Rescue Me)" and "Unfaithful" the following year after her first hit "Pon De Replay" and then everything turned out and she has been nearly unstoppable since then despite a few flops and underperformers here and there.
It still has a chance to turn around and be a moderate hit, but if sales and video views don't pick up and airplay slows down, it will be interesting to see what happens when the next single is released. I hope the label and Nick will actually put in more effort. I like all the fashion and homoerotic photoshoots, but perhaps Nick could cut back on those and get out there and perform his singles so they don't flop. (Nick can still go do shirtless/bottomless, homoerotic live performances and that will be okay--kill two birds with one stone!)

I'm not sure why one would think that promo is done for this single? The VMA's were mere days ago. Chains was one of the most performed singles in recent memory. Where DIDN'T he sing that song?

^^^ I was just going to post something similar to what you just posted. LoL^^^^. Though the poster is right him getting overshadowed by Taylor and Justin. Maybe he has inside info but is there any confirmation that he's not doing anymore promo for this?

Nick is still on tour for the previous album era until at least the end of October so any promo opportunities for the single will be limited. The talk shows that feature live performances and whatnot return with new episodes during the next few weeks so that could still happen.
It feels like they just threw the single out there after hyping it up that it would just stick and take off. It has gotten a good amount of radio adds already and its airplay is quite respectable considering how short of a time it has been out.

I've tried to like this but it still does nothing to me. Not to mention it sounds like a JT song from 2006. I think he should stick to the more moody songs like Chains or straight-up Katy Perry-esque bops like Jealous/Teacher. Dancepop does not do him any favors.
