I have to admit that this is cute, which mean it'll bomb because songs I like rarely become hits

On Mediabase's Spincrease list (all stations, not published panel), this has a +313, from play at 64 stations. Also, +55 at rhythmic from play at 17 stations.
It is an oddity, in that the track itself makes no reference to Christmas or the season ("hoes" would be a stretch), yet the video sure does on both counts.

This is NOT bombing out of the gate. lol It's unrealistic to expect every single he puts out to have OTR numbers.

#83 on iTunes is pretty bad for a new single though right?

Panini sold pretty badly so the iTunes performance isn't a big deal. The inability to reach the Top 200 on Apple Music has to be disappointing though.

This does nothing for me. I really want to like his stuff but I’ve only liked a few.

The early numbers aren't good but Spotify is OK enough so that it could grow later on if radio latches on to it.

Legitimate question: is there a reason anyone would expect this man to smash out of the gate?
He hasn't even released his first album yet and while he may have had a monster in "Old Town Road", one huge song doesn't guarantee or even suggest automatic top 5/top 10 placement. I think he is very much still in the process of building his fanbase and cultivating his image/sound so I would more naturally assume if he does find single success, the climb will be gradual.
With that said I am really rooting for him. Aside from the LGBTQ representation (we need all we can get in entertainment tbh), he is genuinely talented. He is in tune with his generation, is producing arguably some of the most creative video imagery of any artist today, has an ear for writing hooks and aquiring quality songs (IMO), is genuine and true to himself (in the process, helping to tear down harmful archetypes), and has built himself from the ground up. I wish him nothing but success and I certainly will be watching, as his trajectory is arguably one of the most interesting of any current new artist.

I thought his label would at least invest in a radio deal and decent Spotify placements for his comeback single. There's no telling how much they made off Old Town Road.

This is cover of New Music Friday placed at #2, #7 on TTH, #2 at Signed XOXO, #2 at Pop Rising, #1 Hot Rhythmic, #35 All New All Now. Playlisting is not an issue.

I hope he finds success with this era even if it's nowhere near Old Town Road levels.

Not to mention that they ran a freaking commercial for this song, with Michael J. Fox, during the Tom Brady vs. Drew Brees Sunday Night Football game. Label/team support is not the issue, period. (By the way, they're not doing that if they didn't have expectations/ambitions of this being a major hit)

Yeah, awareness was very high IMO. It's why I expected better numbers. The effort so far to promote it has been really good.

#92 on iTunes #25 on Spotify #224 on Apple Music
Ok but like why are we letting the homophobes win, where the gays at smh Somebody get the Barbz in this bitch so that at least the sales number looks good
Anyways I wouldn't worry too much, lets see what radio does and then assess from there, it might be a grower with time

I was not expecting this to smash out the gate however with his presence on social media I thought this would of done slightly better on iTunes and AM. But the Spotify #'s aren't to shabby.

It doesn't have the novelty of OTR or the catchiness of Panini. Top 40 is also pretty rap friendly this year. In other words, I have no idea if this will flop or not.

Kinda glad that that people on here aren't writing it off over it's first two days. It just needs time to grow! Like Panini did!
Whilst this may not mean anything, it's #1 on Amazon US Best Sellers, and I think the last new song in its first few days do this was Bebe Rexha x Doja Cat. The song debuted at #3 on Digital Sales with 10,000 copies. Maybe it's part to the song entering the Top 5 on iTunes (#4) in its first day lol.
Maybe on the basis of that will do 3-4k pure in it's first week, which is better than absolutely nothing (which is people are making it look like)

I foresee this growing, especially as we get closer to the holidays. Lil Nas X is very savy when it comes to social media promotion.
