The sales drop on week #17 is gonna be so big... if they take away the discounts, which they shouldn't.

Chart fights. Discounted singles. Diva Wars. Feels like the 90s all over again.
I LOVE IT!

I guess Biebs counts as a diva. Seems about right

Interesting read. Pretty much sums up what Pulse has been saying since it was confirmed to come out on Thursday at noon. A good portion of sales just won't be there on Despacito's 16th week.
It needing 170k sales is gonna be pretty hard with the entire first day counted in a previous week. It's gonna be much closer than Wild Thoughts gas gotten that's for sure

Except it would have to hit 17 weeks to break the record "I will delete my account if Despacito does not either match or beat the record" ah..boooo - LOL

15 weeks is a guarantee.16 weeks is gonna be a battle with Beiber's new song.I think it will get 16 weeks and tie the record but it won't get 17 weeks.

Taylor Swift has deleted all her social media posts. Something is coming.

Well looks like friends is barely gonna challenge for top 3. Only 15 percent higher than Despacito overall, barely broke Spotify top 50 and the Audio has under 1 Million views. Guess him being on every song under the sun has finally caught up to JB

So.. Friends is #1 in sales, already #2 on Spotify, I expect it to Dethrone Bank Account tomorrow and reach 2 million by Monday. It just needs an official audio / MV on YouTube. And we have to remember that both versions of Despacito are discounted, and it's still ahead. Damn, it may dethrone it this week! The Thursday debut may help it, as Despacito will just keep falling on Sales, with the discounts on, the first day bad sales can be ignored, as they go to the previous week, and the Radio will have more time to grow. Now, I would be completely fine with this breaking the record, as it's a great song, unlike OSD or Despacito.

I expected everything to be going into the 16th week, not it's entire first day in the 15th week. I know, I said that in my post. I'm not attacking you or anything. I just think it's only fair to point out that nearly all of us who have been following this song over the past few months have been off at some point in one way or another. It just through me for a loop when you claimed you knew that Taylor would be the only person to possibly keep Despacito from the record all along.

Friends already dark red on iTunes, obviously still way off on airplay and basicaly the same as both Despacitos combined on Spotify.
Week 16 is happening people.

Tbf i don't think anyone thought JB would be dumb enough to release new music a week before his own song ties an all time record so that kinda shook me.

I don't think he particularly cares about Despacito itself. He didn't even bother to learn the lyrics...

I wonder if he/his label intentionally released a song they knew wasn't going to be a monster hit as a way to boost the sales/streams of Despacito. Or am I being too cynical?
