It was #11 yesterday, now it's at #30

Unless this song takes off in the coming 2 weeks, it will be hard for it to reach platinum.
Eminem & 50 will perform the song soon if I remember correctly, if it bounces back after the performance then yeah cool. If it doesn't...it will struggle to reach platinum.


Well yeah we saw it falling in ranks but there's no promotion at all after the initial push so it's normal, it slowly builds up on the radio though so we'll actually see how big that record would be in a few weeks time.
It will surely be at least platinum IMO, it is not a fact yet but I think it's going there... but like I said it'll need more time so we'll actually know if it goes way further than that.

Overall solid first week.
I don't expect it to struggle for a plat plaque, it just needs time.

I don't think this song will be anywhere near as big as Down On Me unfortunately. :(
If the will.i.am/Britney song only got #12, 50 Cent could miss the top 20. Apparently his streaming (Spotify, etc.) is great though, so fingers crossed that will help a bit.


Well you might be right, you never know but don't bet on it. ''Down on me'' was never as big a record in the beginning & I could say it even started slower than that one but it went crazy with the time passing. I see ''My life'' as a way bigger record overall & expect it to last even longer 'cuz once it catches on the radio it'll keep a good pace & sales will keep piling.
Let's see what happens.

10+ million on Vevo only for such a short period of time! It keeps killing the net so I do expect it to stick on the radio & stay there for a minute.
Why are they so quiet though? I guess it has something to do with the holidays & we can expect some live show surprise somewhere in that period of time.

I just read that the song debuted at #27 on the Hot 100. I was hoping it would be in the teens but all it needs is more promo & another good performance (this time with Em).

27. 50 Cent f/ Eminem & Adam Levine, "My Life" (DEBUT)

Need to start performing this song very soon!
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Yeah it catches up on the radio so now they need more promotion... most of the songs in the hip-hop chart are months old & ''My life'''s a debut song.
50 might be right about the possibility of this to be his biggest crossover hit.

Absolutely, but to really take off it needs the promotion back... radio play is promotion itself but to speed up the sales again they need to promote it all the time & what they do now is not promoting it at all.
It shapes up to be big anyway.

Just remember, songs rarely get high positions in the first week. #27 is not too shabby.

This is the point... it's way easier when a song has been on the radio for a month or two 'cuz apart from helping it in the charts, radio play is one of the best ways for promotion right there.
The more a song is played on the radio, the more people hear about it & buy it respectively. They still have to keep pushing with promotion apart that too though.

Radio always sold records, that's why radio friendly songs sell way more than hardcore ish at the first place & that's why rappers like Em & 50 do that kinda singles anyway ya know.
