This hasn't plummeted or anything since reaching No. 49 on iTunes about a day ago- it's currently No. 48. Would be cool if it debuted on the Hot 100 at the bottom or something, but without airplay and unknown streaming, may be too tough.

Fortunately, there is plenty of time to set up a second single. I'm certain that's the reason why they didn't name the album WW. Served it's purposed as buzz single, will do well on dance charts and, hopefully, a killer track is next. Just can't get into the whole "It's a Woman Woman/Girls Run The World" angle. I also believe the single was hampered by the way it was packaged as part of the album. I still think that is confusing for some....

Almost out of the top 500 on iTunes. Is it over after just a week?
Not sure why they went with this, given that it leaked months and months ago. They should have released the video last week- it was filmed some time back.
Looks like she's performing on the Macy's 4th of July special- she tweeted about it.

Paul Grein reports that WW sold 26K (No. 79 Digital Songs)- that's more than I thought it would sell- it may be on Bubbling Under.

BU smash!
It's back up to 329 on iTunes, and "Believe" (marked down to 69 cents) is at 358. She was on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" last night.

Most interesting parts of that interview: Cher admitted to having a lesbian lover and that she's good with Madonna/Madge.
And she still hates to perform "Just Like Jesse James" live.

Part of the viewers calling in, and a look at all her hairdos over the years.

Was great seeing Cher on Sunday. We were at the front of the stage, right side.
Why isn't NBC teasing her name as a performer tonight?

Cherilyn looked to be sporting her own hair for the Macy's performance. :)
She was shown again during the abridged 10 p.m. showing of the Macy's show. WW climbed to 194 (it was in the 300s/400s range). I don't expect it to get crazy high from this.
EDIT: Up to 124.

Digital sales for "Woman's World" increased 43%, to almost 9,900. Not enough to get near the Hot 100 or anything, but, it's something. It's scanned roughly 43,000 to date.

I don't know what they're waiting for with the video. Not that a 67-year-old was going to tear up the singles charts, but it at least should have been released already, since it (supposedly) was filmed some time ago. Then again, I don't know why they released WW as a lead single, when it leaked last year.

So wtf is going on with this era? The label postponed the album release because apparently they were going to be all behind the project with super marketing promo strategy... Then they release the same cold received song leaked last year as first single but then no video or follow up. The much buzzed gaga duet was scrapped (couldn't there be a way to revive it?). And now it's all silent in Cherland. Cher is like a cat with so many lives but I think she'll use another one this era

Album is still 2 months away, hope they release another single next month or in early September. The WW video not being out yet makes absolutely no damn sense.

Sure I wonder if there's another story behind this like that of Kelly's recent Dance club #1

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5638055/cher-runs-the-world-diva-talks-no-1-dance-single-and-eclectic-newCher Runs the 'World': Diva Talks No. 1 Dance Single and 'Eclectic' New Album "Closer To The Truth" will feature collaborations with P!nk and Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears... but not Lady Gaga. In Cher's latest No. 1 Dance Club/Play Songs chart hit "Woman's World," she sings, "I'm dancin' solo, in the dark, on the club floor." Shortly after midnight last Saturday (July 27), she was on the club floor at Rasputin in West Hollywood -- but definitely not solo. "You missed a good party," Cher tells Billboard of the event, staged to celebrate her new No. 1. "But it was so hot. Oh my God!" While the diva herself didn't perform at the club, she took in a performance from possibly the next best thing: famed Cher impersonator Chad Michaels. Cher says that she "loved what he put together," calling his rendition of "Song For the Lonely" "genius." "Woman's World" is the thumping first single from Cher's new studio album, "Closer to the Truth," due Sept. 24 on Warner Bros. Records. It's her first studio release since 2002's "Living Proof" and features two songs written by P!nk, as well as a guest vocal turn from Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears. "I love him," Cher says of Shears. "What we did with his voice (on the song) is so strange, but I know he's gonna love it." "Woman's World," her eighth No. 1 on the Dance Club/Play Songs chart, is a song that Cher says "sings itself," explaining that it only took about an hour to record her vocals for the track. The tune was produced by Paul Oakenfold and co-written by Oakenfold, Anthony "TC" Crawford, Matt Morris and Joshua "J.D." Walker. The public got its first taste of the song way back in November 2012, when it leaked to the Internet. Warner Bros. quickly released a high-quality version of the track through Cher’s official website in order to counter the unmastered leak. However, the single didn’t get a proper rollout until June 18, when it was serviced to radio stations and Cher performed the cut on the finale of NBC's "The Voice." Shortly after that, the iconic artist did a flurry of TV and radio press in New York. The sweep included a buzzed-about mini-concert on June 30, which capped the city's annual gay Pride festival. The performance came right as the dance club promotion of "Woman's World" kicked into high gear. Club DJs were serviced with a series of remixes by the likes of Jodie Harsh, Jason Nevins, David Morales, R3HAB, tyDi, Tracy Young, Danny Verde and Zookëper. An official music video for the song is forthcoming, and could debut within the next few weeks. As for what "Closer to the Truth" sounds like, Cher says that "Woman's World" doesn't really represent the vibe of the entire set. The music legend describes the first half of the album as being very "dance-y," while "the second half of the album is very eclectic," with a banjo-enhanced number as well as a "real teary ballad" written by P!nk called "Lie to Me." (The title of the album came from a line in the second P!nk-contributed song, called "Walk Alone.") Cher On 'Closer to the Truth': 'I Took Some Chances on This Album' Cher remains enthusiastic about her collaboration with Shears, calling their "double-entendre" team-up on "Take It Like a Man" one of her "favorite tracks." But one artist who won't be on the album is Lady Gaga. While Cher and Gaga had planned on a duet for inclusion on the album, it was ultimately not included in the final tracklist. More details on the album -- and Cher's busy promotional schedule -- are due in the coming days and weeks. The entertainer will be all over the TV, including a performance on NBC's "Today" show. "I'm probably going to be everywhere you look," says Cher, "and you're gonna go 'I wish she would go away!'"

The WW video not being released is a hot mess, considering it supposedly was shot ages ago. Not that it would have much impact for the charts, but still.
At least she'll be doing her part via performances and such. Is she going to do a few songs on Today?

Just wait... she's going to be having MAJOR IMPACT on the charts. This is Cher we're talking about... the girl's had more reincarnations than the Dalai Lama!

^Yes, she has, but at a certain age, the major impact's gotta cease, no matter who- even for Cherilyn. I hope the next single is something from the second half of the album, not one of the "dance-y" numbers.
