AudioBritneyBeats Posted May 13, 2015 #1 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 As for the week's highly-anticipated top debut, Spears and Azalea launch at No. 29 with "Pretty Girls." Sales lead the way (accounting for 77 percent of the song's chart points), as it debuts on Digital Songs at No. 6 with 96,000 first-week downloads sold. The single is "an event record," says Charese Fruge, program director of Pop Songs chart panelist KKHH Houston, which has played the duet 39 times since adding it on its day of release (May 4)."Girls" should gain strong momentum from today's release of its official sci-fi send-up video and the pair's tandem performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 17). http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6561465/wiz-khalifa-hot-100-britney-spears-iggy-azalea-debut here's to moving into the top 10 with the video, and if not, Top 10 after the BBMAs! Official Debut Numbers so Far: #6 - Digital Songs #29 - Billboard Hot 100 *i will be tracking billboard chart positions each week! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted May 13, 2015 #6 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 JUST like I expected. 25-30 debut was obvious from the start. Now, about the music video. 'Booty' by Jennifer Lopez feat. Iggy Azalea shot to #18 on Billboard Hot 100 after the music video was released with 8 million US streams. Streaming contributed 98% in case of Booty so it clearly had a huge impact. Now, if Britney's team did NOT fuck up and released the video on Monday we would probably top 8 million quite easily and could climb up to possibly even #12-15 but now we only have three days worth of streaming left thanks to the Wednesday release. Next week Pretty Girls will probably climb another 9/10 spots thanks to the video and that's going to be our peak. I'm not expecting anything higher than #19 at this point. Shame. We are #6 on Digital, were #23 on Radio. If the video was released right away with the song, we could have debuted around the top #5 on streaming and have a top 10 debut. Now we will have to brush it over with *hopefully* a Top 20 semi-flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted May 13, 2015 #10 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 The thing is that the debut is not that important, what happens afterwards is Digital is going to pick up for a while thanks to the video but we cannot expect miracles. It's all about streaming this week. Next week, streaming will naturally decrease a lot because most people would have seen the video by then and digital will continue to be a mess. The song is already losing its momentum on the radio. Not much is working in our advantage. Weak digital performance. Having only 3 days of streaming count towards the chart. The performance *might* bump the song a little bit but if the video won't do miracles then neither will the performance. Technically speaking, her team should upload the performance on VEVO cause that would count towards the chart but knowing them, they won't.

I_need_me Posted May 13, 2015 #14 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I hope the video makes a lot of headlines so the song manages to climb! And then her appearance on the BBMA's needs to be spectacular so it gets a lot of publicity! Something about the song needs to go viral it we want it to really succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations are in order to Miss Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea. Hopefully the music video today and also the billboard music awards will bring it up,and maybe a little bit more promotion from the flawless Britney Army (and of course our site).

Now we will have to brush it over with *hopefully* a Top 20 semi-flop. You are completely reading the charts wrong though, and you are completely disregarding the impact of the Billboard Music Awards. The music video is not that important. We debut at #29 with a full week of sales, audio streams & radio play. The following week, we move up to Top 15-20 with a full week of sales, audio streams, radio play AND coming with 5 days worth of the music video effect (increase in sales & streams), AND we'd also get some last minute jumps from the BBMA's performance as it's Sunday night & will count for that week. The following week, we move into the Top 10, maybe Top 5, with a full week of sales, audio/video streams, radio play with the FULL BBMA's impact. Pretty Girls will get a Top 10 peak, for sure, the question is a matter of how long it will remain there. My prediction is that Pretty Girls will end 2015 with at least 500k in sales, Top 10 peak on BB & possibly make the year end charts. For all we know, Britney & her team have more planned for the song, and it just requires time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edurance Posted May 13, 2015 #21 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's better than 'Perfume', which peaked at 88 or something If the GP likes it, after the video and the performance, the song could stay a few weeks in the Top 20, which is pretty good for Britney these days.

For all we know, Britney & her team have more planned for the song, and it just requires time! No offence but this is so positive it's borderline delusional. You are assuming (quite confidently as well) that the song is going to remain stable on the digital chart. It's not. It's been bumpy since the release and it's not going to do much better now, particularly. We are going to get the full week of sales while we are what, out of the top 40? how is that going to help us crack the top 10? Obviously, the video will probably push the song up on iTunes for a day or two, same with the Billboard performance but it's very unlikely that it's actually going to stick. Britney's only chance to crack the Top 10 was lost the second they decided not to release the video right away with the song to smash streaming and digital from the very start. Now it's all scattered. The strongest week of digital sales for Pretty Girls is over. It's now going to counterbalance with a very strong week of streaming but then both will further deteriorate.
