Here's a question though. If "Cry Pretty" has been at #1 since the ACMs, how can "What Ifs", which hasn't been even close to "Cry Pretty" have sold more? Plus, "What Ifs" has never risen above "Cry Pretty" since the latter's debut, I believe.

Because apart from iTunes, there are other digital platforms where music can be purchased (people like me tend to forget that). Although they mentioned sales I won’t be surprised if they meant sales plus streaming cause “What Ifs” is streaming better

So, I assumed these were just sales. I don't know, though?

I’ll still stand by those sales numbers meaning sales + streaming because sales numbers alone are horrible these days considering how much people stream compared to buying (and not requesting a refund)

Sales are terrible, but Carrie was at #1 on itunes & 12,000 is about right for that position. Honestly, I just think they screwed up the numbers (for instance none of their percent numbers are right 9000 is 300% of 3000, not 195%) & Kane's what if's had a big percentage jump, but it didn't even crack itunes top 10.

Seeing those numbers made me laugh
