Revolution Radio Promotion and Commercial Performance

[Rai93mp]

As always, here in Spain we're late at everything, keeping up with chart updates for example...

[gmcloughlin]

#1 in Ireland according to IRMA 

I wonder when the next radio single will be released? I don't think I've heard Bang Bang on Irish radio since the premiere

#5 in Finland. Two big Finnish artists/bands released their new albums on the same week so that's the reason. Still pretty good!

Do you know anything about how RevRad will perform in its 2nd week, guys?

So Revolution Radio, Still Breathing, Youngblood, Somewhere Now, Say Goodbye, Bouncing Off the Wall and Outlaws have all charted on the UK Rock chart

It's holding better than Uno in the UK so far.  It's still number 8 on the midweek chart which is actually a climb since Sunday where it had dropped to 12th.

The lowest it's dropped on iTunes is number 10 on Friday after an influx of new albums.  However, it climbed back up to 8th on Saturday where it's remained ever since. By comparison, Uno had dropped to 33 on iTunes at the same point.

Also, the new songs are finally starting to get some radio play. Radio 1 has played Bang Bang, Revolution Radio, Ordinary World and Bouncing Off The Wall over the weekend. In fact, both Bang Bang and RR are on the Radio 1 Rocks playlist.  I think this is the first time since 21CB they have been on the playlist but maybe someone can correct me here as I'm not 100%?

8th in Portugal, 1st week. Considering the lack of promotion I'd say that's pretty good xD

I thought they wouldn't even reach 10th here since I haven't heard anything about RevRad or any of the singles played.

Should I get upset? RevRad is JUST #19 at the moment in the US, with 7000 units:

Basically, it is a chart based on radio airplay, sales, streaming and social activity of the artist...

Only 7,000 so far? That doesn't make sense.

Yes, that's the first thing I thought.

I mean Uno was No. 11 on its second week, so going from No. 1 to No. 19 is very disappointing. Hopefully it does better for the rest of the week

It is a weekly number, it doesn't include 1st week sales

Yes I realize that. Still, 7,000 for the half way point of the second week after 95,000 in the first week is very disappointing

  I'm SO confused.  OK nobody answer this unless you actually are 100% certain of what you're talking about. Now...so billboard charts are just airplay charts not official sales charts? Or are they official sales charts? Also is it that they've dropped from no 1 to no 19? Yes or no or is that presumption?  Finally the figure of 7000... Is that estimated or actual sales and is it just US sales from this week.  

 

Thanks.  There's a lot of back and forth and conversation and conflicting stuff on this thread and it's hard to gauge how the album is actually doing. 

[Christian's Inferno!]

Well they're 19 on the Sales + Streaming Chart (http://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming), but they're No. 9 on the Building Album Chart (http://hitsdailydouble.com/building_album_chart) and they're not even on Streaming Songs Charts (http://hitsdailydouble.com/streaming_songs)

These are NOT official charts, but I consider this site (http://hitsdailydouble.com) pretty reliable, since it roughly expressed the real number of sales for Rev Rad last week (93500 and the Billboard stated 95000).

Therefore this is not the Billboard 200, that will be published next tuesday, but just an unofficial daily update of sales for the week (7000 is the number for the 2nd week until yesterday).

Hope it helps

[Hero_Of_The_Hour]

Thanks  That clears things up alright!

Still #1 on Rock Airplay. 10th week of charting now and 2nd week in a row of #1 spot. Bang Bang has been climbing on Hot Rock Songs too! 10th place up from 12 last week.

10th week on Mainstream Rock Songs chart, 7th week in first place!

The figures have just updated. GD has dropped to No. 23 and No. 12 on the Sales+Streaming and Building Album Charts respectively

Despite what first week charts say, these figures are getting worse than we though. I didn't imagine a similar scenario. They are still unofficial tracks but it's hard to think the contrary...

I don't trust these figures at all. Firstly, 7,000 is far too low for a band that got 95,000 the week before.

Secondly, only 5,000 of the 7,200 are from album sales according to the website which account for 70% of the total, whereas in the first week, 90,000 of the 95,000 came from album sales which account for 94% of the total. This is a big difference.

Maybe I'm just in denial but these figures seem very irregular to me
