For the record, its official stats, which line up with third parties:

29,000 sales
4 million streams
unknown radio

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7800256/miley-cyrus-malibu-hot-100-chart-moves

That article only fortified my point tbh, 29,000 sales in "less than a day" of tracking?
29,000 sales in 12 hours?
To some simple calculation:
Last week Despacito (remix) got 80-90k sales and in 12 hours it can get 6-7k sales.
In order for Malibu to sell 29k in 12 hours or whatever less than a day, then it's gonna looking to get Despacito (remix) yanked down percentage wise to 0.25 or at least stabilizing at 0.3-0.4. But no, for the first "less than a day", according to kworb that's what it looks like:

0.7 3.2 5.6 7.5 9.6 
1
Miley Cyrus - Malibu
1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 0.9409 0.1493 
2
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - Despacito (feat. Justin Bieber) [Remix]
0.5564 0.5956 0.7075 1.0000 1.0000

it spent 3 hours getting to Despacito, and the rest 7 hours it got it down to 0.55-0.6. That's 6-8k sales at most.

Now how do you guys think that 29k is even close to 6-8k? Billboard gummed up High By the Beach's number and then was conscious of the mistake because people pointed it out. You don't know what the "third parties" are. It could make mistake from time to time.

Did you completely neglect the other posters telling you that Malibu is new and won't sell consistently over the week like other songs?

New releases from big artists are always, 100%, front loaded. They sell more in the first few hours than they will over the week. For an amazing example of this, look at Harry Styles's Sign of the Times. It brought the #2 song on iTunes down to less than 10%. Over the full week, though, it didn't sell that much at all. Miley has a massive fanbase. Most of her sales for the week definitely came within the first day or two, especially in those first 12 hours. Her fans rushed to download the song as soon as they could.

It's not an anomaly, it's not a conspiracy, it's not a mistake. It's just what happened.

kworb didn't even publish the prediction of this week's sales! It probably hides its face in shame after giving such a far-off prediction.

Did you also completely neglect what I JUST posted?
iTunes pop bar showed that Sign of the Times indeed yanked no.2 down to 0.100
But I JUST posted that according to the same iTunes bar Malibu's first 12 hours only yanked Despacito down to 0.500-0.600. Facts.

[Au$tin]

Not to mention the iTunes chart is a rolling chart over several hours. Of course it took a bit to catch up to Despacito. It's literally like this:

Hour 1
Despacito: 5
Malibu: Not released

Hour 2
Despacito: 7
Malibu: Not released

Hour 3
Despacito: 6
Malibu: Not released

Hour 4
Despacito: 6
Malibu: Not released

Say the chart is then based off of the past four hours. At the period Malibu is released, it has 0 and Despacito has 24 units.

Hour 5
Despacito: 7
Malibu: 9
So here, Malibu actually outsold Despacito, but due to the rolling chart being over a 4 hour period, Despacito still comes out on top since it has a four hour total of 26 units to Malibu's 9.

Hour 6
Despacito: 6
Malibu: 13
As of now, Despacito has 25 units to Malibu's 22. Despacito is still on top in the rolling chart however, if we just count over the past two hours, Malibu is the clear winner with 22 units to Despacito's 13.

This is how Malibu is able to sell much more than what it looks like. The iTunes chart is not how much a song sold since the last update. If it were, it would be all over the place with no consistency.

It hasn't updated yet because his site has been having a bug the last few days with the current popularity bars.

Yes, and that actually means nothing since the chart is rolling.

Hour 6

Going by this, it doesn't look like Malibu has sold that much, but in reality, it outsold Despacito since its release.

Ok Ride. I will admit you are right if Malibu rockets to number one, only for billboard to announce that they have made a mistake. Until then, however, I would recommend putting down the tin-foil hat. Yes, the sales are a bit excessive but kworb literally predicted HIGHER

I understand the concept of rolling charts, like airplay charts. But even if it's what you said, my roughly estimate for Malibu's first 10 hours is like: 0.3, 0.7, 0.4 (which doesn't make that much sense huh), 1, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9... stuff like that. 10-12 hours gonna yield 7-10k sales. Still not nearly enough for that 29k figure. (And by the way, do you have evidence that kworb digital sales/iTunes top 100 are rolling charts. If so, how many hours rolling? Because I checked all over kworb and I don't think he mentioned anything about it. Just curious where do you get the idea.)

If it's a 4-hour rolling chart, then doesn't it mean that Sign of the Times got no.2 down to 0.025 in its first hour or something like that? 

Sorry about my tone. Sometimes I just wish there are more accurate updates and calculation. 

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Closest thing there is digitalsalesdata.com which tries to guess what the actual sale numbers are from those decimals. I'm not sure if kworb uses the data from there to get their weekly estimates.

Jesus Katy dropped Bon Appetit for the Taylor Swift diss song as the single SO FAST. It's like Focus all over again, except she's already 3 singles deep. Still waiting for that big start of an era song though....

The fact that such big hits only come once or twice a year is a testament of it's hugeness tbh. It might be more common now, but it doesn't take away from the fact that those are massive hits all the same.

2x may be a little exaggerated, but the fact is that many, many songs go past 10 weeks now. It's not that special.

Uh, by default there can only be 5 songs a year that make it 10 weeks and you're saying "many, many"...

5 songs per year x 20 years is 100 songs. So SHape of you is easily one of the biggest hits in 20 years. Next

[DistrictTwelve]

I actually really liked Chained To The Rhythm and Bon Appetit but 'Swish Swish' sucks.
Also, how high is Selena debuting for the 06/10 chart?

Except that Focus was supposed to be the lead single for her last album and once it became Flopcus, it only made it to the Japanese edition of Dangerous Woman. In Katy Perry's case, I think she released Swish Swish to create more buzz about her upcoming album's release and the 3 songs will actually be on Witness. So not quite the same ...

Could Black Hole Sun chart on Hot 100? It's at #3 on iTunes and entered top 50 on US Spotify. It was ineligible to chart when it came out because of these 90s physical single release rules.

I'll be really annoyed with Billboard if "Black Hole Sun" isn't on the Hot 100 next week. They allowed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" to chart (just below the top 50) the week after his death and used the excuse that it had never charted before, so re-entry rules didn't apply. While BHS hit the Airplay top 30, it never appeared on the Hot 100. In fact, Soundgarden never charted on the Hot 100 at all. If they exclude it then they clearly are just playing favorites and making exceptions for individual artists.

So... I don't suppose Sign of The Times has any chance to re-enter the Top 10 off of the album release? Because it just made its way back into the Top 20 thanks to the video, but how much good will the album do it?

I don't think she or her label let her second single bomb so hard that she has no songs in the top 50 as the album comes out. Swish Swish seems like a much better single to ride until the album comes out.

R.i.P. Despacito Computer Boy is coming... I hope.

I'm guessing Swish Swish will be the big hit from the album, as it has a much better chance being a joint effort from Minaj and having buzz from the Taylor Swift nonsense beef that's yesterday news.

Bon Appetit seems to be done, at least at pop radio, it should get a nice re-enter this week on the Hot 100 due to the video, and may stick around for a bit since YouTube is huge and is not slowing down, plus album release.

Chained To The Rhythm should fall off this week, but will probably get a decent boost from the album release and may catch a second wind. Airplay is slowly picking up again.

Swish Swish isn't an official single yet. It just came with the pre-order. That doesn't mean it won't be, but as of right now, Bon Appétit is still the current single. (Though, they definitely need to move on ASAP. Outside of video views, it's doing nothing.)

plus is it even possible to go from 201 to 98 in two days? i dont think so...

A good example of free falling is Die Young (obviously this was for reasons other than being 'old').

2x may be a little exaggerated, but the fact is that many, many songs go past 10 weeks now. It's not that special.

Uh, by default there can only be 5 songs a year that make it 10 weeks and you're saying "many, many"...

5 songs per year x 20 years is 100 songs. So SHape of you is easily one of the biggest hits in 20 years. Next

"Massive hit" is very subjective. If around one or 2 songs a year are going 10+ weeks that is not so massive in my opinion, because they are forgettable very soon. Also, by your logic "How do I live" was not a massive hit.
