Official 'I Need A Doctor' iTunes Thread

[achiles22]

great now i hope it stays there all week

[rinnie1207]

So it's #1 now? Nice
If the same thing happens on Billboard charts then

[Sukot]

they were talking about it on the radio on my way home from ball


it was INAD vs bruno mars

INAD won bigtime

lol. To be fair, Bruno Mars is one of the worst things in the charts. He's only popular because he writes songs telling girls that they're pretty, and it makes them feel all special...

Wish INAD was doing better in the UK. Looking at the popularity bars on UK iTunes, it's a LONG way from the top 10, even though it's #14.

Number one! Fuck yes.

Wow!

What are the chances of a #1 debut on Billboard?

Not Afraid came out of nowhere with hardly any radio play and did it on iTunes sales alone.

Could this be the same?

There's a lot of chance that INAD debut at #1 i think

[One Mic]

I wish I was old enough back in '99 when Forgot About Dre came out. It was probably way bigger than this lol. Im glad this song is doing great though.

iTunes didn't exist lol. (I know what you mean though)

The peak position of 'Forgot About Dre' on US Billboard = #25

I'm sure INAD will beat that.

[TheGentlePlayer]

If INAD stays on #1 to sunday, it should debut on #1, making it Ems 5 #1 and his 2 debut on #1

[One Mic]

Really? Wow I was like 7 when that song came out and even I knew it was huge. I heard it all the time. Oh well.

Yep

You could argue charts mean fuck all though, especially today. I mean, look at the cultural impact, epicness, and popularity of the song 'Stan'. It's peak position was only #51 in the USA, and several less-memorable or forgettable Eminem songs have been much higher. Including;

Encore Ft. Dre & 50 Cent - #25

Old Time's Sake - #25

Hell Breaks Loose - #29

That's All She Wrote - #18

It's absoloutely disgraceful that all those above songs had much better peak positions than Stan.

iTunes has changed the dynamics of the music industry completely. No way would something like Hell Breaks Loose reach #29 in any other circumstances, but because Relapse Re:Fill had just dropped, people just bought the individual song, and based on iTunes sales alone, it made it to #29

Nice, but how long will it last ...

Well Bruno Mars & Pink will sell around 200k this week, Bruno Mars has much better airplay than Pink his song is at 139.830 on Mediabase. So Mars could end up with a total of around 339k points. I Need a Doctor would have to sell more than 350k in its first week i guess just like Not Afraid did.
