Shocker! "Gentleman" Falls Out of Billboard Top 20!

[empressmaruja.livejournal.com]

Excerpts from "P!nk Holds at No. 1 on Hot 100, While Rihanna Rules at Radio"

Outside the top 10, notable for its plunge on the Hot 100 is K-Pop star PSY's "Gentleman," which tumbles 5-26. The song debuted at No. 12 two weeks ago, powered by initial online buzz for its video. It falls 1-6 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs (4.7 million U.S. streams, down 66%), even ranking below his breakout hit from last year, "Gangnam Style," which holds at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (5.3 million, down 22%). ("Gentleman" is now up to 252 million YouTube views worldwide [as of this posting]; the Hot 100, however, includes only U.S. views each week.)

Sales for "Gentleman" also decrease by 50% to 36,000. The song's 1.2 million in radio audience is not yet a significant factor in its chart fortunes, accounting for just 1% of its Hot 100 chart points.

The song wasn't very good but it's still done really well world wide.

You had a good run, PSY. kinda.

[prismboy.livejournal.com]

I mean obviously he wasn't gonna top Gangnam Style but he's still doing pretty well.

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

well, this article is before PSY was on American TV, I wonder if the sales of Gentleman benefited from his appearance on those shows

Though now Netizens are all like "who cares? he is still billboard!!1!"

oh no!

But it seemed like south east asia and latin america is really digging this song even though it's basically a maternal clone of Gnagnam style.

that sucks but I'm not really surprised. a lot of my non kpop friends have not been liking it as much as gangnam style, so maybe the viral hype train is slowed down

OP A+ on the Jinkx gif

Totally hope she wins tomorrow

[norringtons.livejournal.com]

Did Psy's weave get snatched?

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Lol yep.

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Yeah I mean tbh, none of us were really expecting this song to do THIS well. Getting up to #2 & a million views within two weeks is a big accomplishment.

Also agree with the fact that he'll definitely make a better song after this! :D

Well I don't think what PSY do from here on now will touch Gangnam Style at this point. At least he gotten his success!

[asth77.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect it to do so well, I thought it'd flop tbh.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

and yet he's still selling more than most people's faves????

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

RIP Psy

[royu-kiyo.livejournal.com]

Psy doesn't care, he did what most of your faves wish they could do: get 15 minutes of fame in the States.

[konichiwacobra.livejournal.com]

it's way better than i thought he'd do in the first place. I was sure it'd flop on arrival. but i was wrong, congrats.

oh jinkx i'm so tired of seeing your face. i'm ready for this to be over.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

So I guess he only got that high on billboard in the first place because of YT views? because the sales aren't good.

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

i have yet to hear it on the radio tbh

[age-ofconsent.livejournal.com]

i didn't realize pink was still releasing stuff..

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Psy is great and all but I can't stand gentleman. Oh my gawsh it's just so boring.

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]
