How is it the most downloaded song but then over 1,000 sales behind the number 1?

Unless it gets back inside the Spotify top 5 it wont debut at #1.

It may well climb up later but that depends on promo and strategy by the label.

Well I’m afraid most fans that care about charts already purchased the song on iTunes and Amazon… I’m afraid it’s all up to the GP now

Thats why Britney songs alway major drop in the second week.  Its useless buying the song 10 times. But they will never learn.

#3 is AMAZING after 6 years of not releasing anything new  when will other hasbeens? 

 

#1 debut is still possible if UK fans stream their heart outs and keep buying the song but I got the feeling the song will reach #1 in the coming weeks

A UK chart peak of #3 would still be wonderful, IMO. Britney would be thrilled!

Because streams are counted as well the other people have more streams than Britney so sales wise for to catch up it would be 1200 sales stream wise I think it’s 180,000.00 streams to catch up

Yes it’s 180k the gap but it’s difficult to do

Well downloading is not the only thing that counts. There ara radio plays, spotify streams, YT streams etc.

I mean at least the UK hitting the top 3, I don’t even know if we close to top ten here in America

I feel like it's gonna be a top 10 debut in the US, although I'm not really sure how it's calculated. The streams are good even if they aren't #1. It's still #1 on iTunes and last I checked it was #3 on amazon for sales.

I think it’s 1000 points not sales…points are calculated differently
