Man if the Little Monsters streamed as much as they buy on iTunes, Gaga could've had a number one lol Shallow has already had almost 20 weeks in Digital Song Sales' top 10 (5+ weeks atop) and it's f**king gonna return to #1, and Oscar's coming... The horror!!Even Uptown Funk only spent 24 weeks in Digital Song Sales' top 10...
I'll throw up if Shallow ends up with 30+ weeks in top 10.I mean, for some reason mainstream music scene so lacks music buyers nowadays and it accentuates how much boring Soundtrack or pretentiously elegant music is still bought in bulk, songs that sound like Ed Sheeran's Perfect (30 weeks in top 10 and 8 weeks #1 on Digital Song Sales' chart, the decade-end #1 on that chart so far), Meant to Be, and of course, Shallow can rack up more longevity in sales chart than ever. Watch a song not in streaming songs chart becoming the biggest sales hit in a decade... some polarizing feeling in a nihilistic era when music scene exposes its chronic lacks of action and freeze especially after 2017. Charts' split between non-event pretentious small town tap water that moves around as sales star of the year and hardcore urban songs' stereotypical street cred for streamers and still lack of classy sales' support. What an eyesore if Shallow becomes the biggest sales hit of 2010s. But thankfully its chart run is gonna be caught between decades. Vain luxury, I guess. |

Digital sales top ten means basically nothing. Similar to being on top of the singles sales chart during the fall of the CD single
Shallow could be top ten for two more years and still not come anywhere close to what the digital single of the decade will be

Digital sales top ten means basically nothing. Similar to being on top of the singles sales chart during the fall of the CD single Shallow could be top ten for two more years and still not come anywhere close to what the digital single of the decade will be , Shallow is still a HUGE threatening abnormally. Sure, it sounds easy, "Song A could be top ten for two more years"... but no song ever did it, not even close. Even the definitive 2010s smash hit Uptown Funk didn't even spend 25 weeks in top 10 in sales chart Now Shallow's conspiring to be that once-per-decade huge abnormally to spend 30+ weeks in top 10 on sales chart. You got that very rarely. You realize that when something's so dominant in an era, then at some point all you see or think about is Shallow Shallow Shallow wherever you click on and you're gonna want escapism?! The post I was replying to was a case of alternative history, IF Shallow's crazy longevity is transferred to streaming OR IF Shallow had charted at the peak of sales, then it's a threat to Uptown Funk. It seems that no one really realized that. It appears that very few people on Pulse gives a damn about Digital Song Sales chart, and I believe that Digital Song Sales chart is just as important as Hot 100, so when no one else reacted to this, that's where I was out there, highlighting such big observation. Because it could have something to say about where 2019 is going. I'm into Digital Song Sales chart because I always buy songs from iTunes, and I think streaming is somewhat of an illusion. So whatever boredom fest has the effrontery to spend 30+ weeks in top 10 of Digital Song Sales chart is craziness to watch for. I sincerely hope Shallow doesn't ruin sales chart |

Calm Yourself its not that deep. Also digital sales have meant nothing since late 2016. The Digital Sales chart is not equally as important, not anymore at least.
Also you do realize you're spending more money not trying streaming. And what is this "Streaming is an illusion" crap lmao
Shallow won't "ruin" the chart, just like how Shape Of You spending 34 weeks in top 10 didn't ruin the hot 100, just like how Radioactive didn't ruin it either. You're being overdramatic

During the final years of the 'Hot Singles Sales' chart songs you had never even heard of would be #1
The last #1 on the final chart on 11/25/17 was 'I Got Angels' by Emcee N.I.C.E.
And had already been at #1 for 4 weeks which would have made it at least the biggest single of the month
Digital Songs Sales charts are headed in that direction (although not there yet)

Well with sales being insignificant on the hot 100 except in rare cases like Shallow, that makes sense

at 20K a week or whatever that Shallow would get by being in the top 10 week after week, it would need 6-7 years of that to get up into the range of the decade's biggest singles

Yeah. iTunes just isn't that relevant anymore. If those same 20k that bought it streamed the song twice a week that's still just 40k streams, barely enough to make it rise a couple spots on Spotify.

The song at #10 on the HDS chart is selling 13-15k (~2.3k Hot 100 points). It is the same as being ~#30 on the weekly Spotify chart (3.5M paid streams - 2.3k Hot 100 points).

Digital sales are nowhere near what they once were (overall volume than 1/3 of the peak, I think?), but it has some time to go before it reaches the insignificance of Singles Sales. Most tracks are still released digitally, as opposed to radio hits/releases in the late 90s/early 2000s. Plus, some individual totals are OK, and consistent enough.
Is "Baby Come to Me" on iTunes? You'd think it would be ranked high at this point.

The album that is catching all the exposure, "Forever More" contains new recordings of his hits bit not Baby Come To Me
Baby Come to Me shows up on Patti Austin and Quincy Jones albums but not James Ingram --- he probably doesn't have the rights to it

The 97,000 copies "7 Rings" sold last week certainly helped it get to #1 on the Hot 100.

Not that this is any significant movement, but Marshmallow's Happier and Alone both see large climbs due to the in-game Fortnite event featuring a concert with him. Was actually very well done, don't think a worldwide digital game concert has ever been done before?

Thanks, it's actually more significant than I thought Well, it's significant in terms of chart points, but a valid question is whether it should be (i.e. how many people are still regularly paying for songs on iTunes)? If less than 20k people (i.e. less than 1% of the population) buy a song in a week, is that worth much of anything? |

With Shallow, we are talking about 45k but you have a point there.

But even 45k sold is less than 1% of the population lol. What would be interesting to know is how many people stream particular songs in a week. Songs have millions of streams a week, but obviously many of those are multiple streams by the same person. |

Deadmau5 was much less prevalent though I believe so I don't think it impacted anything. |

Drake just playing Fortnite while someone streamed it a while ago also broke streaming records on twitch.
Fortnite is just a beast. I think this could happen more often after this one went relatively well.
