Breakfast Can Wait on ITunes Chart

Just a heads up.

I was kind of surprised to see Breakfast Can Wait on the ITunes download chart. It is at #135

Not too shabby!

The last days and today it is still at # 3 at the r&b iTunes charts....

Not bad...but why is it not going for radio adds?

iTunes and YouTube now count toward Billboard rankings. Maybe when the video hits YouTube, this will be a "hit".

How can YT count? There's no purchasing on YT.

So with the Focus on breakfast can wait - is the 3eyegirl Band Dead? This Kind of Sound didnt match to Songs like screwdriver, fixurlifeup etc.

So no Rock Record? What do you think?

It's both. It's a HITS chart. It's been that way almost since its inception.

OMG by Usher and No One by Alicia Keys are both in the top 10 on the iTunes R&B chart as well. I'm not sure how impressive a chart placement is here. I guess it's better than nothing. shrug

But Screwdriver is a "Prince" song, and also an official release through iTunes. Yes, there were a few versions on the 3EG website but those were outtakes/alternate versions.

.

Same with R&RLA . . . the iTunes one is the official release, and the 3EG remix is just that - a remix.
