Der erste Track von Xscape ist nach den ersten Verkaufstagen, Airplay und Streaming auf dem Weg in die Top 100 der Billboard-Charts. LNFS wird Jacksons 49. Top 100-Eintritt sein und der 2. nach 2009 mit Hold my hand, der Platz 39 erreichte.

The lead track from 'Xscape,' the late King of Pop's album due May 13, is headed to this week's Hot 100 thanks to a strong first few days of sales, airplay and streaming
Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake's sleek new duet, "Love Never Felt So Good," will enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week following its first few days of availability.

The song appears on "Xscape," an album of eight tracks of Jackson's vocals set to new music from Timbaland and J-Roc, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and John McClain (a former A&M Records executive and co-executor of the Jackson estate). The set arrives May 13.

"Good" premiered on the iHeartRadio Music Awards, broadcast on NBC on May 1, and was then made available for digital purchase. (Instead of Timberlake, Usher danced to the song on the broadcast.)

Fueling its Hot 100 start? Solid initial sales and airplay, which should send the song, available as a solo Jackson recording and in a duet version with Timberlake, onto this week's Hot 100 in the list's lower half. Streaming activity since its premiere will also contribute to its debut rank. While "Good" is not yet available across on-demand subscription services, it's has racked 960,000 views on YouTube so far, split between its official audio clip on Vevo (which was released May 1) and user-generated YouTube clips.

Bringing Michael Jackson Back: The Inside Story of 'Xscape'

Highlights of the Hot 100 will post on Billboard.com on Wednesday (May 7), while the chart will post in its entirety the following day.

"Good" will mark Jackson's 49th Hot 100 entry and second since his 2009 death. "Hold My Hand," with Akon, reached No. 39 in January 2011. That collaboration was released from the posthumous "Michael " album, which debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 3 and has sold 540,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Jackson boasts 13 Hot 100 No. 1s, the most among solo males in the chart's 55-year history. Only the Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (18) have totaled more No. 1s, with Rihanna also having notched 13 leaders.

STRONG SALES

Industry forecasters suggest that "Good" may have sold more than 60,000 downloads in the week ending Sunday, May 4. That sum would've been generated from only three full days of sales, as the song reached retailers late on Thursday (May 1), after its premiere earlier that evening.
Industrie-Kenner schätzen das der Song mehr als 60000 Downloads in der Woche, endend vom 4. Mai hatte. Das wären nur 3 volle Verkaufstage, da er seine Premiere am späten Donnerstag hatte, zum Vergleich hatte Hold my hand ca. 19000 im vergleichbaren Zeitraum.
Certainly, "Good" is buoyed by the availability of the duet version with Timberlake, which accounts for the bulk of the song's overall sales. (Both the Jackson solo version and the duet are combined for sales tracking and charting purposes.)

If "Good" debuts with more than 60,000 downloads sold, that would outpace the opening of "Hold My Hand." That song sold 19,000 in a similar opening time frame, and served as the first radio-promoted single from "Michael." It was released on a Friday (Nov. 19, 2010), so it had less than three full days of sales in its first week (ending Nov. 21). "Hold" then sold 44,000 in its first full week of availability (the frame ending Nov. 28).

RADIO ROLLOUT

Meanwhile, "Good" has also garnered a strong response at radio and appears on track for a debut on the 50-position Radio Songs chart. As of this posting, the cut has drawn 31 million all-format radio audience impressions since its first plays on Friday. On this week's airplay charts (highlights of which will post later today, while the full charts, along with all others, will update on Thursday), it makes multiple debuts, starting on Adult R&B Songs (No. 19), Adult Contemporary (No. 23), R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 28) and Adult Pop Songs (No. 40).
Zwischenzeitlich hat der Song eine starke Reaktion im Radio erahlten und depütierte auf 50 bei den Radio Song Charts und hat bis zu diesem Artikel 31 Mio. Radiohörer seit dem ersten Air-Play erreicht. In den Air-Play-Charts machte es zahlreiche Debuts. Adult R&B Songs (No. 19), Adult Contemporary (No. 23), R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (No. 28) and Adult Pop Songs (No. 40).

As part of Clear Channel's promotional synergy after the premiere of the song on the iHeartRadio Music Awards, "Good" received hourly plays the following day on a multitude of the company's pop, adult and R&B/hip-hop stations, greatly contributing to its airplay so far.

Still, the station that has played "Good" the most is CBS Radio-owned adult contemporary KYXY San Diego (and, thus, did not contribute to Clear Channel's concentrated play). The station has given the duet 37 plays (though Sunday). "We loved the song the instant we previewed it," says KYXY program director Charlie Quinn. "It felt familiar and right in line with audience expectations for a Michael song."
CBS-Radio Host Diego sagt: "Wir liebten den Song seitdem wir ihn zum ersten Mal hörten. Er erfüllt die Erwartungen des Publikums von einem Michael-Song."

As for its long-term fortunes, Quinn is optimistic. "Timberlake and the production value definitely elevate it beyond a novelty."

"Two icons coming together for a great groove," is how Alex Tear, Clear Channel vp of programming/Miami, top 40 national brand coordinator and PD of Pop Songs reporter WHYI, describes the track. The station has played "Good" 13 times through May 4. "Hearing and watching the debut [of 'Good' during the iHeartRadio Music Awards] certainly played a role in inspiring listeners' passion and for them to request it. News traveled fast across the generations, lighting up social media and text requests all weekend."
Quinn ist optimistisch: "Timberlake und die Produktion helfen das mehr bleiben wir als nur eine Neuheit. 2 Ikonen kommen zusammen und haben ein großen Groofe.
Tear concurs that the song could sustain widespread interest following its splashy start.

"It's smooth and will certainly have a pop-culture impact. It's a great way to begin rolling into summer."
"Er ist smooth und wird sicherlich Impakt in der Pop-Kultur haben. Es ist eine großartige Art den Sommer kommen zu lassen."

Michael steigt mit LNFSG in den USA nach 4 Tagen Wertung auf Nummer 20 in die Billboard-Hot 100- Charts ein und auf Nummer 6 der R&B/HipHop-charts

The lead track from 'Xscape,' Jackson's new album, enters the Hot 100 at No. 20 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at No. 6
It’s a royal return for the King of Pop to the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Michael Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good" with Justin Timberlake makes splashy debuts at No. 20 on the Hot 100 and No. 6 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The track is the first single from Jackson's posthumous album "Xscape," due Tuesday (May 13).
Es ist eine königliche Rückkehr für den King of Pop in die Billboard 100 und Hort R&B/Hio-Hop-charts. Michael Jacksons "LNFSG" mit JT machte eine gutes Debut auf Nummer 20 in den Hot 100 und Nummer 6 in der R&B Hip Hop-Charts

"Good" sold 80,000 downloads in the week ending May 4, according to Nielsen SoundScan, after only three full days on-sale. The song went on-sale in the evening of May 1, after it premiered on the iHeartRadio Music Awards the same night. It's available as both a duet and as a solo track from Jackson, although sales of the Timberlake version drive 80 percent of its combined sales.

Powered by hourly play across a multitude of Clear Channel-owned radio stations on May 2, "Love" debuts at No. 38 on the Radio Songs chart. It bows with 34 million in audience for the week ending May 6, from 358 stations, according to Nielsen BDS. "Love" is Jackson's biggest Radio Songs hit since "Butterflies" peaked at No. 14 in early 2002.

The debut for "Good" is handsome not just because of its sales and airplay figures, but also thanks to its streaming numbers. The tune collected 1.9 million U.S. streams in the week ending May 4, according to BDS. It arrives at No. 41 on Streaming Songs.
Das Debut für "Good" ist erfreulich nicht nur wegen seiner Verkäufe und der Airplay-Zahlen, sondern auch wegen der Streaming-Zahlen. Es erreichte 1,9 Mio. US-Streams in der Woche endend dem 4. Mai. Es ist Nummer 41 bei den Streaming-Songs.

Bringing Michael Jackson Back: The Inside Story of 'Xscape' (Cover Story)

"Good" arrives as Jackson's 49th Hot 100 hit (not counting his entries as part of the Jackson 5). He nets his highest Hot 100 rank since "Butterflies" reached No. 14 (Jan. 26, 2002). He also ties for his third-highest debut: "You are not alone," his 13th and last No. 1, launched at the summit (Sept. 2, 1995), almost three months after "Scream," with Janet Jackson, started at its No. 5 peak. "Good" matches the bow of his classic "Thriller," which began at No. 20 on Feb. 11, 1984 and rose to its No. 4 highpoint three weeks later.

"Good" ist Jacksons 49. Hot 100 Hit (nicht gezählt seine Eintritte als Mitglied der J5).
Es ist sein höchster Top 100 Rank seit "Butterflies" was Nummer 14 war am 26. Januar 2002. Es schließt auch an seine höchsten Debuts an. YANA, seiner 13. und letzter Nummer 1 Hit startete an der Spitze (2. Sep. 1995) 3 Monate nach Scream, das an seinem höchsten Stand Nummer 5 startete. "Good" zieht gleich mit seinem Klassiker Thriller der am 11. Februar 1984 auf 20 startete und seinen Höhepunkt auf Nummer 4
3 Wochen später erreichte.

"Good" becomes Jackson's 33rd top 20 Hot 100 hit, tying him with Rihanna for the seventh-best sum in the chart's 55-year history. (Jackson was born the same month as the Hot 100: August 29, 1958, or 25 days after the chart's inception.) Elvis Presley leads with 48 top 20 hits, followed by Madonna (44), the Beatles (42), Elton John (40), Lil Wayne (39) and Stevie Wonder (36).

Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake's Duet Off To More Than 'Good' Start

On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, "Good" is likewise Jackson's highest-charting entry since "Butterflies," which reached No. 2 on the ranking. He lands his 33rd Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10. (James Brown boasts the most top 10s all-time, 60, followed by Louis Jordan, with 54, and Aretha Franklin, with 52.

Timberlake, meanwhile, tallies his 21st Hot 100 top 10 and 10th such hit on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Update weltweite i-tunes-charts Liste:
Keine Veränderungen: Album weiter auf 2, LNFSG weiter auf 4 (Duett) und 12 (Solo)

Wobei man aber anmerken muss Titania das er "nur" auf der Pop-Liste Nr. 1 auf Amzon Deutschland ist. In der allgemein Musik ist er "nur" auf Nummer 2. Und die 1 führt eben dieser King an(kenne ich gar nicht) den @Paradox schon erwähnt hat und dessen Album eben auch heute auf den Markt kommt. Und er ist dort schon länger auf 1, bereits seit langen dort in den Top 100 und auch bei i-tunes Deutschland vor Michael. Auf Grund dieser beiden Indikatoren könnte man schon schlussfolgern, dass er auf Grund der bisherigen Vorverkaufsstände die 1 in den Charts in Deutschland belegen wird. Wie die Märkte Media Markt, Saturn, Müller sich noch auswirken (viele MJ-Käufer gehen meine ich auch in die Läden) ist ja offen und die Entwicklung generell in dieser Woche. Das nur gesagt um eben gewappnet zu sein, wenn es eben nicht die 1 in Deutschland werden sollte.
