james would you be so kind to PM scraped and sorry ?

ok it feels like i am beating a dead horse but let me explain, for the final time why expecting more is ridiculous. singles DO NOT DEBUT AT NUMBER ONE, it is impossible you dont promote a single like an album, management doesn't announce to the public in 3 months from now the single chinese democracy will be released, exclusively on itunes, it will hit radio's on 22 october. no they drop it on the airwaves and it used as a promotional tool for the album, you're acting like the single is an album within itself.

now for the part you can't argue with. cd was dumped on the airwaves, it has received more THAN DOUBLE the amount of plays the number 1 radio track in the U.S has this week. its position within the rock charts IS BASED SOLELY ON ITS PLAYS, PLAYS ALONE THAT IS ALL, AS YOU CANNOT PURCHASE IT.

when the day that never comes was released, with a video, with the ability to be purchased it did not debut at number 1.

the sames applies for ACDC, whose single did not debut at number 1, despite being purchasable and having a video.  SIMPLY BECAUSE SINGLES DO NOT DEBUT AT NUMBER 1.

metallica and ACDC's(two massive veteran bands) single's efforts pale in comparison to a single that doesn't have a video and that cannot be purchased, and you're still whining.

there i am done, keep telling yourself that it should have recieved 1000000 plays and anything else is a dissapointment.

it's the way he chose to interpret those numbers. you look at it in a positive way and he looks at it in a way you think is negative and he says it's positive. it's a matter of opinion. and if you want to argue based on an opinion, you'll never get to common ground
but the thing is, i dont understand how anyone can possibly interpret those numbers negatively. the song was essentially dumped on radio, with no promotion, no accompanying video, and that's how high it ranked. and for all intensive purposes it is number one, as it was played double the amount of times as the #1 ranked song in the country.

there's another chart, chinese D is number five, look at its score(based on duration since release : number of requests/plays) +735, the number one song is +19, maybe if the song was 40 or something on the charts and hadn't been played more than double that of the most popular radio track in the U.S i could see cause for negativity, in this case no, there isnt.

in before, its only being played because of the name and next week it will decline/will make or break the single, fair point and i acknowledge it, but for now, expecting more is ridiculous.
