So.......
Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" was the first song to debut at #1 with 120K+ sales units sold in its first week of release in 1995.
Had no other song prior to that sold that much in its first week of release?
Perhaps it was just a very weak chart period but I've always thought that total was rather low.
Four weeks later, Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" debuted at #1 with 225K+ sales units sold which was, of course, huge.
Any thoughts? Hm.

Songs didn’t regularly debut with high totals before then because at that time songs charted the week before their commercial release, so songs weren’t held for release and would climb slower. When the rule changed that songs debuted the week the commercial release counted, labels started holding big singles to maximize sales for the debut week. |

“ME!” is not connecting with pop radio listeners.
by Brian Cantor
Pop radio listeners are not enthusiastic about Taylor Swift’s “ME! (featuring Brendon Urie).” The song is one of the worst-scoring tracks in the latest Mediabase – Critical Mass Media callout report.
Based on a survey of pop radio audience members, the report says that “ME!” is receiving a positive reaction from 49.7% of listeners, a negative reaction from 34.3% of listeners and thus a “net postiive” score of 15.4%.
Of the 18 songs measured in this week’s report, “ME!” holds the worst scores for all three columns. The “net positive” score is particularly light; no other song boasts a net positive rating below 30%.
Identified as a “favorite” by 16.5% of listeners, “ME!” also has one of the lowest scores for that column. Only three songs — Lauv & Troye Sivan’s “i’m so tired,” P!nk’s “Walk Me Home” and Mabel’s “Don’t Call Me Up” have lower favorite scores.
The lead single from Swift’s forthcoming studio album, “ME!” is currently #7 on the building/real-time Mediabase pop radio airplay chart. Its week-over-week airplay is up by about 4%.

When the rule changed that songs debuted the week the commercial release counted, labels started holding big singles to maximize sales for the debut week. This came up on another thread a few weeks ago. You have to envision a pre-internet world. People often only found out about new music because they heard it on the radio or MTV (yes they used to play music videos) -- there weren't message boards, Twitter, facebook, etc. to spread word and build hype. In the 80s and earlier, even albums tended to climb to their peak rather than debuting there like they do today. High song debuts started occurring in the mid-90s due to 2 major factors: - Billboard rules prior to 1995 allowed songs to debut the week the single went on sale, even if no copies had actually been sold yet, so you often had big jumps in the second week - Label strategies to boost chart positions (most famously used by Mariah Carey frequently but quickly became an industry standard) involved not releasing physical singles until songs had already climbed high airplay so awareness/demand was high In terms of the raw sales totals you mention, there have been a lot of fluctuations over the years. The latter part of the 90s/early 00s was definitely an "albums" market, whereas that switched back to more of a "singles" market with the rise of iTunes, and now we've swung back again to an albums market thanks to streaming (hence all the "album bombs" which were essentially impossible pre-streaming). |

good news it only has 8,176 streams on Spotify. That’s because white trash Republicans don’t know yet that you don’t have to buy individual songs in 2019 I'm white, a Republican, and I've liked John Rich ever since Big and Rich came out with their album in 2004. And I know about streaming thankyouverymuch |

I have always wondered why songs like “I’ll Make Love To You” and “That’s The Way Love Goes” debuted below the top 10 and the jumped into the top-2 in their second week. This makes sense now! Do we know when the rule changed for songs to only debut the week the commercial release counted? |

^Currently, #16 dropping 5 spots from yesterday due mostly to Future's album bomb songs. Hard to say if it did better, at least positionwise, over the last week given that AM has no weekly chart.

^ Talk was at 11 both last Friday and yesterday and barely moved in the week, so I don't think the gains are from AM. The chart is probably just inaccurate.

Talk was (very) stable on the on-demand streaming chart for the past two weeks. This week, it lost 6% on Spotify, so I'd expect 13M-14M on-demand streams. Hot 100 dated as June 1: 14,263,000 on-demand streams Hot 100 dated as June 8: 14,271,000 on-demand streams |

I have a theory as to how Old Town Road is remaining so huge. Young kids love it, it doesn't really go anywhere as a song (it seems like little more than a loop to me), so kids just keep it on repeat.
I have to think it's something like that, because people actually liking that song so much makes me so depressed about the current state of the music listening public...

I don't see why OTR being popular would make you depressed about the current state of music considering that "meme" type songs have been a thing forever.

Why is this depressing |

Why is this depressing We are nearing the end of the decade and beginning to see old trends fall and new ones blow up, such as the case for Old Town Road. Its a trap song with country elements. Personally, i think it'll just lead to more crossover trap than specifically country trap but hey anything could happen these days |

In other news, "Ahead of its 10th anniversary, The Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” becomes the first song to hit 9 million U.S. downloads"
Can't believe it's been 10 years since this monster hit. Digital smashes somehow feel so much bigger than streaming smashes to me.
