It's kind of baffling that say 8,000 UK fans haven't bothered to purchase the track, but if a physical or physicals were released, we'd have another top 40 hit guaranteed. Oh well. Very true! That's a good point, perhaps a strategy could be is about releasing an exclusive single limited edition to get people to buy it, or a picture disc.

Well releasing it on a Wednesday didn't help which meant it only had two days of sales. But to me there seems something very off about streaming and sales. It wouldn't surprise me if some massive scam comes out in the near future. The whole adding of songs to playlists and removing them etc. I just feel it's being massively manipulated. They had Ellie Goulding on TV a few days ago and said she'd 'sold' 110 million singles which is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest animalinstinct Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 There is a lot of chart minipulating going on, putting certain artists on playlists, dropping the price to 59p on iTunes etc (Taylor Swift) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have definitely missed the trick with this release. A limited edition 12" would have had it another Top 40 but alas her record company couldn't give a shit. The fact she is on Radio 2 is a good thing but doesn't automatically generate sales/streams especially from this demographic. It also doesn't help they decided to release the remixes three weeks later and on a Thursday? There is no reasoning with it at all, it like self-sabotage. They could have released the single on a Friday, the remixes after the Billboard Awards to build on momentum and give us a 12"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanAnth4 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’m kind of baffled too . So Medellin has approx 40m views on YouTube combining audio and billboard , ( living for love has half this nearly 5 years later) , it’s top 40 since day one iTunes, from what I read Spotify streams are ok but a lot lot better than anything off Rebel heart for example so how come this ain’t charting ?? What am I missing ??? Did loving for love and ghosttown sell millions on iTunes , I just don’t remember this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFL also had 2 cd singles available. However, streaming remains a mystery to me. I swear it's a scam that will get exposed at some point in the future. I think M's team are just focused on the album and tour rather than time and effort on getting to no 27 in the singles charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 4 hours ago, calzolari said: Medellin up on chart ? The chart is out later today but Medellin is done. It peaked two weeks ago and Radio 2 is the only station playing it. I'd rather they removed it from their playlist and replaced it with Crave. At this point it's all about creating album buzz, so they need to keep on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
