70% drop is actually quite within the normal range for albums. James is still riding the great press he got for his #1. Bet there were fans that didn't even know he had an album coming out.
Streaming GT is a great way to help both the single and the album.
And I agree that WBR knows what they are doing!

Yes, a 70% drop the second week is now the norm in the industry, but that would require sales of around 14,000 not < 11,000.

Here's hoping the numbers tick up a bit.

70% drop on his sales figure would be 12,600. You calculate from the 42,000 sales figure not the 47,000 SPS. Trespassing's drop was 71%. Even Kelly Clarkson had a 68% drop from the 1st week sales. Even James Taylor is not doing all that much better as his predicted sales are a 62% drop.

All of this is very good perspective. It is great to have an opportunity to discuss and support each other and not wing out.

Oh yeah I agree. I think some fans expect instant success. But their are few songs that go top 30 or even smash in top ten. For reference Derulos single took 3 months to crack Top ten BB hot 100. Walk the Moon currently #5 BB Hot 100. Took 8 months to get their, some singles are a slow build. Adam is a come back artist, this is incredible for an artist who has reinvented him self. I think WB are re introducting Adam as a "new" artist, so this is perfect tbh. GT is such a great song, I think it still has life, but it wont be over night. So I think patience is a virtue.

In case you missed this on the main thread, that important Cumulus station has a video up on their site of their interview and "game" with Adam. There is only one comment on that video. Q3 said even if we are out of the area, we should go for it and comment as long as we don't sound too Glamberty.

It is 107.3. On their main page.

WWFM was released in Nov & peaked on the Hot 100 in May 6 months later. People worrying about GT should go read the WWFM threads (yes 2 of them) on the Pulse forum to relive the nightmare that was. That song was declared dead god knows how many times, spent a month or more sitting at 34 on CHR before finally climbing in the top 30. This song has had a much smoother ride so far.
