Fifth Harmony: 'Work From Home' Update #1

Hey Harmonizers! After spending 4-5 months last year updating all of y'all on the success of Worth It and its respective chart changes, I'm here to now begin updating you on the success of Work From Home. From chart changes on Billboard and international charts to success on iTunes charts and certifications, make sure to check back here for new updates every week!
(This Work From Home update will cover from Friday, February 26th to Thursday, March 10th, 2016)

 

Billboard (USA) Charts
Harmonizers (like me <3) have proven to be very dedicated and loyal to Fifth Harmony. Days before the release of the single, harmonizers were freakin' out 5H wasn't doing a lot of promo prior to the release day..... So Harmonizers took it upon themselves to twitter trend #5DaysTillWorkFromHome and counted down the days through these trends. I'm not sure if this caught many people's attention, but harmonizers did manage to set the single on fire when it got released. Work From Home rocketed to the top 10 of the iTunes charts and in the top 5, although never achieving #1. Regardless, the consistency of airplay from radios, streaming on Spotify and YouTube and the sales through iTunes managed to get Work From Home as Fifth Harmony's highest debut at #12, tying Worth It for 5H's highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100! Worth It took around 5 months to achieve #12, and the fact that the girls could score this high debut within no time means that their fanbase has grown after the Reflection era. There are several other debuts on the other Billboard charts, but snagging #12 in their first week on the Hot 100 is just too incredible. Check out all the debut positions on the Billboard Charts! (Pop Songs and Rhythmic Songs are subjected to change due to the amount of airplay on radios, but the numbers below are the exact positions they debuted)
Debut Positions of Work From Home
Billboard Hot 100: #12
Billboard Pop Songs: #30

Billboard Streaming Songs: #13
Billboard On-Demand Songs: #13
Billboard Rhythmic: #39
Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #14

Charts Yet to Debut In
There are still three charts that Work From Home has yet to debut in, but it'll be very soon!
Billboard Radio Songs
Billboard Adult Top 40
Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay

International Charts
Fifth Harmony's 3x Platinum single Worth It took the world by storm with it's catchy beats and addictive chorus. It was Fifth Harmony's first all-around international hit and charted in several countries. With exposure to a wide array of countries already, this gave Work From Home an 'easier time' in sales since 5H has already established fans in several international countries. Here's how Work From Home charted internationally, and it's quite impressive!
Debuts
Canadian Hot 100: #18
Canadian Digital Songs: #23
UK: #23
Australia: #39
Ireland: #37
Switzerland: #44
Netherlands: #55
Austria: #60
Italy: #71
Sweden: #76

iTunes Charts
(Updates for iTunes Charts will begin this Thursday)


Certifications
Of course it is probably too early for any certifications as this is only the second week since Work From Home's release. Although, expect a certification or two really soon from RIAA. There's a reason why Work From Home debuted at #12 and tied 5H's other highest charting single Worth It. There were some pretty strong sales in the first week and a half and lots of streaming and airplay, so I'm sure the gold certification will come in less than a month or before March even ends!

Live Performances
Three days after the single's release, the girls performed the single for the very first time on Live! with Kelly & Michael's Oscar After Show! I gotta say, this was not their best performance that they could've possibly put out. Camila was okay, Normani was decent, while Dinah and Ally didn't really nail their verses. Lauren was alright, but only because the backtrack kinda covered her voice a little but you could still here her singing live. I believe that it will take time before they manage to put out the best possible performances for this single and I don't think they've gotten used to the choreography of the performance. I've also heard the Ally was sick, so that's probably one reason why she wasn't up to par. I think Ally and Dinah are used to the high notes and belting the songs out, but lower ranges may need more practice with all the dancing they have to do. Check out the performance below and formulate your own opinion!

YouTube
For some reason, I can't post the music video on here yet but since the release of the music video on February 26th, it has accumulated to over 33 million views! Make sure to continue to stream the music video to help Fifth Harmony earn more sales!

If Work From Home is any indicator of the future for Fifth Harmony, I'd say their upcoming album 7/27 will definitely debut successfully on the Billboard 200 and this new era will show up the Reflection era.
