LOL @ a song being #11 at one point with a +1000 bullet and not being able to make the Top 10. It had a +1000 bullet when it first reached #11?! And it's still at #11 and about to lose its bullet? LMAO

Oh well it was nice while it lasted BSB. I think payola might have went into this song's run in some form. Its funny how lately songs have just been totally halted right before the Top 10, or a rank or two higher.

I wonder if the BSB fansites are telling fans to download the song as many times as they can to keep the song high on the charts even though the bullet collapsed

Yeah, the sales are definitely suspicious to me. It just seems odd a song would never sell huge, not even on impact week, and then suddenly one week be top 5 with no special promo and the song not doing especially well.

How much does the song cost? Discount maybe?
A label can maybe get a song higher on the chart that way?

I think it's still getting the benefit of the American Idol exposure (which you are right means that people liked it enough to go buy it after hearing it there)...
But one thing people don't realize is just because a song is No. 11 in a few weeks doesn't mean the majority of the population has heard it...it takes an average of 600 spins on a station before your average listener becomes familiar w/ that song...so those who listen to radio religiously would have heard this (which is not that many people)...while the casual listener is just now becoming familiar with the song...don't be suprised if you see artists w/ big followings debut and then fall only to come back again later once their records catch on w/ radio's listeners...and we won't know until the AI exposure dwendles down if that is what is happening here...
It's always a bit dangerous to have a record (unless it is a very reactive song) climb the airplay chart too fast because radio expects it to call-out before it's even familiar w/ their audience...

it takes an average of 600 spins on a station before your average listener becomes familiar w/ that song Exactly. That's why in many ways longevity is more important than peak. A song like "Lonely No More"peaked at #13, but most people were just getting to know it when radio already started dropping it. Only for radio to realize that they gave up on one of their most popular songs too soon and now its in limbo, with a triple digit bullet, 10 positions below its peak. It will go down as a bigger hit to the general public than most of the songs in the Top 10 right now. Plus the video is new... and it's been seen before that this directly leads to a rise in DLs. Anytime a song has been on iTunes for awhile and then its video comes out, it starts rising immediately. Remember what happened with Mariah's "It's Like That"? I think the same is true for BSB (as awful as the video is), mixed with AI exposure.

I had never heard this song until Anthony performed it. I really liked the song and knew it had to be better than his performance. I bought the song online today.

This thread is the definition of bandwagon.
The first pages are from before the song was released and are talking about how absolutely horrible it is and how there's no way it will even make the top 50.
The middle pages are from when it had a huge bullet and are talking about how surprisingly great the song is and how it's going to be a huge hit and the group is going to make a comeback.
The last pages are from when the bullet started decreasing and are talking about how overrated and annoying the song is and how the group is terrible and shouldn't be in the charts at all.
