Wow, how did Old Town Road come about to be this insane?! If you don't count Cool, OTR and its remix combined would have the #2 at less than 0.2000!
It's like, gonna have the most dominant country week on iTunes this decade.
Another sales icon! This year's full of f**king sales icons! That's what I like!
1 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) [Remix] 1.0000
2 Jonas Brothers - Cool 0.8293
3 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road 0.3538
4 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow 0.2416
5 Jonas Brothers - Sucker 0.2408

Wow, this is way too cool (no pun intended). If you don't count another big release Cool, OT Road's 2 versions combined still has over 6 times lead over #2 (more than 2 days in the tracking week). This is basically Hello's level.
What can I say? Cowboy's some sales icon!
1 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) [Remix] 1.0000
2 Jonas Brothers - Cool 0.4127
3 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road 0.3109
4 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow 0.2144
5 Jonas Brothers - Sucker 0.2094
6 Post Malone & Swae Lee - Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) 0.1830
7 Blake Shelton - God's Country 0.1676
8 Ava Max - Sweet but Psycho $ 0.1504
9 Post Malone - Wow. 0.1376
10 Lauren Daigle - You Say $ 0.1307

Wow...
OT Road's 4th day on iTunes' pretty much the same as the 1st day...
It barely got red updates at all.
Plz let this get more than 120k sales this week (equivalent to about 1m sales in sales' heyday), cowboy to beat Shallow's ass.
It's gonna be close.

It's gonna be close. One song ever got a million in a week. 100k is nowhere close to that equilvalent as much as sales are dead. Besides hellos first week nothing ever sold 900k or 800k either |

I purchased both the original and remix version of OT Road... on iTunes and Amazon!
It's the first time I've purchased 4 copies of a song in one single week!
OT Road needs its king status!
#BuyOTRoad!
1 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) [Remix] 1.0000
2 Blake Shelton - God's Country 0.3657
3 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road 0.2892
4 Thomas Rhett - Look What God Gave Her 0.2179
5 Lukas Graham - Love Someone 0.1918
6 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow 0.1904
7 Jonas Brothers - Cool 0.1755
If you don't look at those front-loaded country boosts, it still has over 6 times lead over the next challenger!
It should have 120-140k no problem!

It's really not coming for King, please stop with the overexaggerations. 100k in 2019 is not "Hello level." Hello sold ten times the average amount of the #1 during its time. Even if OTR sells 150k, that's only 5 to 6 times as much as the average number one now. It's entirely possible to marvel in a song's success without fake elevating it. |

Until Hello was released the average digital #1 was selling 241k (counting the weeks from the 2015 chart). So Hello sold x5 the amount of the average 2015's #1. |

I've collected most of sales chart's chart history by now, I figured out the weekly multipliers over the years accounting for the fluctuation pattern of sales. The only competition OT Road facing this week is Hello's first week (17 times lead over #10 song that's slightly below 70k)... it's gonna come close to LWYMMD's first week (10.1 times lead over #10 song) to be the second most dominant week in iTunes history, I calculated that already. And when it seems to stick around way better than Hello did, it's literally going for king status. Uptown Funk and Despacito are among top 3 best-performing song in Digital Song Sales chart history so far, but their peak week didn't even have half of OT Road's dominance this week. There's no other way to think about it, Au Dollar Tin. |

My apologies, I was incorrect in that statement. Still, saying "On the Road"'s digital sales are in any way comparable to the biggest digital sellers of all time is asinine and beyond trolling at this point. |

It is good for the week for sure but nowhere near the best of all time - Uptown Funk, I Gotta Feeling, etc. Sales have taken a nosedive the last couple years. if this hits 100K-200K that's great but that is hardly best of all time |

Would need about 8 million downloads for that Who cares those raw numbers? The real trick about iTunes pop bar is that the #1 is always 1.0000. The key thing to watch for is how much aloof distance it can create to leave the competitors in dust and let no one touch the crown. #2 is always less than 0.2000 and that's what's called pride. The real king is the one. I'm like the only one buying music from iTunes, if sales chart is my personal chart, then I'll let a song topping it for more than a whole year. |

When you are talking about "king status" for the week, yeah I get it or even "king status" for your all time personal chart But when you equate this to "best of all time" you may be a little off |

Earning 100k+ in today's sales climate is great. No one is denying that. However, it is not comparable to the example of "Hello" that keeps getting thrown around. "Hello" literally broke the sales record when sales were already in fast decline. This isn't going to do that. As far as longevity is concerned, it's too early to be talking about that. "On the Run" is literally at the start of its run. We have no indication to how long it will stick around. It could disappear just as fast as it came. Not to mention that comparing longevity on a sales chart when the sales climate is drastically different between now and even three years ago. There's just too many variables now that weren't around then and completely different variables then that aren't around now. We could maybe compare them if an equal number of representatives from each demographic had disappeared over time from sales, but that's not reality. It's like trying to compare sales of "TiK ToK" to "Hey Jude." It just doesn't work. Plus, if you're going to talk about a song selling over 100k in a week and having longevity as a "king," perhaps look at "Shallow"? Consistently in the top half of the digital sales chart for nearly half a year. Why are we not hailing that track as "king"?

Consistently in the top half of the digital sales chart for nearly half a year. Why are we not hailing that track as "king"? Because I did solid calculation on Shallow's sales point trajectory. I applied the multipliers accounting for different eras. As of this week it's Ed Sheeran's Perfect (13m points) vs. Shallow (9m+, gonna end up around 12-14m by November) for best-performing song in sales chart this decade. Uptown Funk (11.5m)'s the close third. OT Road can bust them all before December to be the #1 if it can hold the huge lead for a while. I estimated its trajectory. |

A better comparison to compare a song from the streaming era to a song pre-streaming would be to factor in streaming equivalent units like they do on the album chart and even then adjust for different eras. I can assure you that the decade end digital sales chart that comes out at the end of the year will have a different top 3 |

You hate multipliers so much that they call you Gary Trust-no-multiplier-to-be-a-D-bag. But no offense, I’m sure that the decade end douchebag sales chart that comes out at the end of the year will use streaming equivalent units. |

OK was just trying to help - your own chart and estimates and your own personal multipliers on a slowly dying sales chart make sense in that is a creative way of looking at things but it in no way means much of anything.
Songs on the digital sales chart absolutely do not perform better than songs from say 5 years ago.
Let's put is this way - the last 23 weeks of digital sales #1's add up to 1.12 million, that would be the same number Adele hit in a single week in 2015
Not knocking your personal chart and your take on it - it is creative but in no way is it something that should be taken in the context of an official all-time chart for anyone other than you.
Anyway - have fun with your chart
