Update: Selena Gomez’ new song “Fetish (featuring Gucci Mane)” launched late Wednesday night.
By early Thursday afternoon, it had reached #1 on the US iTunes sales chart. There it sits as of 1:50PM EDT.
In reaching #1, “Fetish” accomplishes something Gomez’ previous release — and official radio single — “Bad Liar” has not yet achieved. “Bad Liar” peaked at #2 upon release.
Because the market conditions are not identical, the comparison is not entirely fair. The observation is still interesting nonetheless.
