Fifth Harmony: 'Work From Home' Update #2

Work From Home debuted BIG last week on Billboard and in international charts. The girls did little promo for Work From Home in a week and a half and managed to debut at #12. They have literally done no 'intended' promotion for international countries, yet dedicated international harmonizers outside of America always pull through and made a splash in the music industries around the world to gain momentum in Fifth Harmony's new era. How did Work From Home do for the past week? Well.... Internationally the momentum is still there, but in America, it's been a rollercoaster. After a high debut on the Billboard Charts, the single began dropping down the American iTunes Chart and went as low as #14, barely selling around 20% of what the #1 iTunes single was selling. Now the song has begun rising once again, climbing to compete with new singles from Blake Shelton, Meghan Trainor, Ariana Grande and Zayn Malik (or ZAYN...) Read the entire post to understand how Fifth Harmony's been doing for the past week in terms of iTunes, Billboard and International charts!
(This Work From Home update will cover from Friday, March 11th to Thursday, March 17th, 2016)

Billboard (USA) Charts
As said above, it's a little mixed between new peaks and chart drops. Dropping from #12 to #16 on the Hot 100 is an indicator of less streaming and single purchases, but due to the rise on the iTunes chart, I believe they can still maintain their single in the Top 20 and hopefully stay in Top 15 for the next few weeks. It's honestly up to 5H and how they go about promoting the single. They've already visited several radio stations in the USA individually and started a twitter trend of #WorkAcrossAmerica while travelling across America together on a mission to gain more attention for their new single. How effective are their promoting strategies right now? Check the charts below to see how they did on the charts in the U.S.!

International Charts
Our ladies are just killin' it internationally! Work From Home easily proves 5H can live up to Worth It's success by managing to peak higher than Worth It on several international charts in a matter of 3 weeks! Worth It took several months to climb up charts like Canada and Australia while Work From Home only required around two weeks to achieve positions barely below Worth It's peaks. Worth It required more promotion in the UK in order to land #3, yet no promotion was given to Work From Home and it still peaks to #11 (apparently on a mid-week report, the single is well on it's way of entering the Top 5!). Check out all the impressive International debuts and increases, and gladly there was only one chart decrease in a minor chart in Canada.

iTunes Charts (As of March 17, 2016 3:00 P.M. Mountain Time)
The girls are slaying on some of the iTunes charts, but some iTunes charts are falling behind. Check out all the current positions according to the current time I've written this! And might I add, 5H are slaying in the UK and Australia! Bravo! No shade to Little Mix, but 5H is giving them a run for their money now that they are competing with LM in their own country. Hopefully, sooner or later, Little Mix will be able to top the charts on Billboard in America. Although many people have heard of them in the U.S., Little Mix just can't seem to break-through the wall in America's music industry and achieve high success on the charts. Don't know why, but I wish them all the best in the future!

Here are all the iTunes positions of Work From Home, according to the time stated above!

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 Digital Songs: #5
Billboard Streaming Songs: #13
Billboard On-Demand Songs: #13
Billboard Rhythmic: #39
Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #14
Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #2 (Debuted in #2 last week)

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.

Worth It Update #11: August 1st, 2015 to August 6th, 2015

Hey everyone! Here's the Worth It Update for this week covering from August 1st to August 6th, 2015! August marks the 6th-7th month Worth It has been out for and it was definitely a long trek to success. I feel as if Worth It may have reached it's limits, but I'll let the charts below give you the insight on the future of the single. I hope this'll help you keep up with the ongoing success of Worth It! Enjoy!
(I do not own any of these photos displayed in this blog post)

American Charts (Billboard)
Here are the chart positions for Worth It on the American Billboard Charts:

Charts 'Worth It' has shown an increase in position 

Billboard Pop Songs: #5 to #4 (New Peak!)

Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #10 to #8 (New Peak!)

Billboard 'Songs of the Summer' Chart: #15 to #14 (Re-Peak)

Billboard Adult Pop Songs: #24 to #22 (New Peak!)

Charts 'Worth It' Hasn't Changed Positions

Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #8

Billboard Radio Songs: #10 (Three Weeks Straight)

 

Charts 'Worth It' has shown a decrease in position

Billboard Hot 100: #12 to #15

Billboard Digital Songs: #14 to #15

Billboard Streaming Songs: #13 to #15

Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #7 to #17

Billboard On-Demand Songs: #20 to #24

Billboard Rhythmic Songs: #19 to Un-Specified (Dropped Below Top 20)

 

The decrease in 10 spots on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks  chart is a clear example of how the popularity of Worth It is dying down. There are more 'decreases' on the Billboard Charts than usual and it does look like the single may be falling out of the loop. The 'increases' on some of the Billboard Charts barely show any difference from last week with a 1 or 2 spot difference. The single is definitely still a hit, but there's no telling if the song can hold its own on the charts before new singles from various different artists start to takeover.

 

Worth It Update #10: July 24th, 2015 to July 31st 2015

This update will cover from July 24th to July 31st, 2015. Hope this will help ya'll keep up with the continuing success!

There were some minor changes and drops on the charts recently but the most significant improvement was on the Billboard Hot 100! The girls have been in the 14th position of the chart for the past 3 weeks and now they've finally gained some steam to step up two places to a new all-time high in #12! I will admit, that this single has been out since January 2015 and this is probably the longest amount of success they've had for one single. Sure, there was BO$$ and Sledgehammer, but those singles were only popular for about a month or two.

 

The other Billboard Charts show decent changes and not much out of the ordinary other than a little rollercoaster of ups and downs this past week. Overall, I'm so happy they got #12 on the Hot 100 and let us all pray they can reach Top 10!

Worth It Update #9: July 17th to July 23rd, 2015

Hey Harmonizers! It's time for this week's Worth It update from July 17th to July 23rd, 2015. I'll be covering all of the 'chart changes' that have happened in the past week so I hope this'll help you keep up with the on-going success of the latest single!

American Charts (Billboard)
Here are the chart positions for Worth It on the American Billboard Charts:

Charts 'Worth It' has shown an increase in position 

Billboard Pop Songs: #7 to #5 (Re-Peak)

Billboard Digital Songs: #16 to #11

Billboard On-Demand Songs: #20 to #19

Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #3 to #2

Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #12 to #10 (New Peak)

Charts 'Worth It' has shown a decrease in position

Billboard Streaming Songs: #14 to #15

Billboard Songs of the Summer Chart: #14 to #15

Billboard Rhythmic Songs: Dropped Below Top 20 (No Specific Details Yet)

 

The changes are pretty steady and there's the same amount of the change as last week. The single has been #14 for three straight weeks now on the Billboard Hot 100, holding its position for a while now. While staying strong, will the single still escalate a few spots or start dropping down once again?

 

For the other Billboard Charts, I don't think any of them will reach any new peaks soon. It'll be rather a rollercoaster of increases and decreases until new singles around the world and in the United States will take over the charts and send Worth It down. But will Fifth Harmony release a new single to keep their success going? Only time will tell.

Worth It Update #6

Hey everyone! This Worth It Update is for last week, the week of July 4th, 2015! I missed it due to some other important issues but now I'm back and ready to give you guys the full details before the charts change this Thursday! The next update will be ready Thursday for the week of July 11th, 2015. By the way, this Worth It Update will feature throwback photos of Fifth Harmony's performance of Worth It at Dancing With the Stars! Now, let's cover what we've missed last week!
(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11

*This post you are currently reading is from July 7th, 2015)

Billboard (USA) Charts

Worth It is losing steam! The song has descended from its peak of #14 to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100! I was hoping the single could climb it's way to the Top 10, but I guess we've already made our mark with Top 15 at least. By far Fifth Harmony's best single to date, Fifth Harmony will have a tough time getting their next single to top Worth It. Below, I've listed out all of Worth It's new positions on the charts and I'm impressed! Fear not about the Hot 100, the single is still holding its own on many other charts on Billboard. Take a look below!

Charts: Previous Position to New Peak

Billboard Summer Songs: #16 to #14

Billboard Streaming Songs: #14 to #13

Billboard On-Demand Songs: #19 to #13

Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #17 to #11

Billboard Pop Songs: #8 to #7

Billboard Radio Songs: #20 to #15

Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #16 to #12

Other than the Hot 100, Worth It couldn't hold its own on the Billboard Digital Songs Chart, dropping from #9 to #12. Overall, I'd say the single is doing pretty well on most charts. The main fall was the Hot 100, but with a dedicated fanbase Fifth Harmony may be able to turn the tables around and climb once again! We never know!

 

International Charts

Internationally, the most notable changes I've noticed last week are:

Billboard Canadian Hot 100: #15 to #14

*Debut* UK Official Singles Chart: #81!

SO excited! Worth It debuted onto the UK Singles chart! 31 spots higher than Sledgehammer, showing that Fifth Harmony may be growing on the UK once again since BO$$'s peak of 21.

 

Overall for international charts, I know there's definitely more updates internationally for this week. I'll fill ya'll in this Thursday about which international charts Worth It has been doing well on.

 

iTunes Charts

Here's what I'm currently seeing on the iTunes chart in America and internationally.

iTunes UK: #2

iTunes Mexico: #5

iTunes Brazil: #7

iTunes Australia: #11

iTunes Philippines: #11

iTunes USA: #13

iTunes Canada: #13

iTunes Germany: #34

iTunes India: #50

I'm amazed with iTunes right now. So many strong positions on the charts! India and Germany need to step up their game though!

Shout-out to all my UK Harmonizers! You guys are killing it on the iTunes Chart! Worth It was just released July 5th in the UK and I love the support the girls are getting. I hope Little Mix gets the same support in America and Canada!

 

 

YouTube

The girls have racked up over 80 million views now! Their highest music video views to date, surpassing BO$$! If you haven't seen the music video yet, check it out below!

 

 

That's a wrap ya'll! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and I'll have this week's Worth It Update up by tomorrow! Thank you and check out my other posts if you want to! Check out Fifth Harmony's performance at Dancing With The Stars if you haven't already!
