Not Afraid No Longer Number 1 On Itunes

[Alaine]

I was like, the happiest person in this thread when NA went to no.1 on iTunes, I'm only worried when it showed the signs of Crack a bottle path: peak high then decreasing fast right after.
Like you said Drake only went to like 13 on iTunes, but he got the radio on lock, that's why he don't peak high but he has longevity. So until there's some good signs towards NA I won't be able to change my prediction.

Drake is 32 on Rhymitic Radio
Eminem is 37 on Rhymitic Radio

Eminem is 50 on Top 40 Radio
Drake has got no adds on top 40 yet

not only about his new song (which we all know WILL be huge on radio anyway), it's about general, he got the radio on lock.

Eminem has always had a problem making music for the radio and thats all Drake knows.Not Afraids chorus and bridge appeal to radio but the verses dont so it will never get played like the gay shit Young money make but if the fans are happy thats the most important thing.

Its better to have people buy your music than having the radio play it to death like they do to a lot of songs.

NA is #1 on word of mouth alone.

No idea how any of you can debate that it's huge right now

yeah but radio demands what's popular nowadays (because MTV no longer relevant and impacting like back in the day anymore). I mean he got the sale because he got more fans sure, but how can casual listeners find out about his new music if radio don't play it?

72 fucking pages on iTunes sales for a single?!

Christ, we might as well make a seperate forum for Recovery's worldwide sales.

I think the best thing a single can do is making people to buy the CD. There are artists that can stay on iTunes for long but they albums always flop. Soon they won't have albums let alone singles. Eminem's singles were never huge but I'm sure artists like Flo-rida would exchange their success for the Aritst of the decade plaque immediately.

This decade brought plenty of radio hits and iTunes toppers but not a single artist could reach his success when it comes to worldwide sales. Some people always act surprised when he has a success yet he's the one that proved it's possible to sell over 90 millions records (D12 CDs included) in this illegal downloading era. He could teach the others how to profit from a single while having zero costs. It’s nothing special to invest lots of money while using other products in order to sell a song but how many artists can sell a song using the song as its own promo tool?

This is the internet era that has been absorbing both TV and radio. Music is available to anyone for free. It takes more than a radio hit if you want to sell. You have to feel certain contention that will make you to willingly spend your money on a CD.
