Last week, Lady Gaga’s “The Cure” debuted at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This week, it falls to #62.
The drop is attributable to a significant loss in weekly US sales.
Even though this week’s sales figure is based on a full week’s worth of availability, it did not benefit from the “new song rush” that buoyed last week’s numbers. The per-day average was decidedly lower, and the overall tracking period total was down by what Billboard reports as 76%.
On the other hand, “The Cure” posted big airplay and streaming gains this week.
