I’m interested in why the most common placement of singles is different in albums with different numbers of streams. Is it just some fluke that lesser streamed albums more often have a single in the track three slot but for bigger albums it’s track six? That seems odd.
Moving’ On Up is a great song and,as part of the soundtrack to my teens, comes with a big dose of nostalgia, so of course it’s my favourite. Genuinely surprised by how much I liked the Remi Wolf track though.
Re: single placement ... ultimately I don’t know for sure. But I think I’m recent years superstars usually put out longer albums because more tracks = more streams = more money. So the lead singer could be further down the record. If you’re a small artist, probably shorter records cause it’s hard to hold someone’s attention. So single more likely to be earlier in the album. Just speculating
This is ridiculous. I’m sitting here reading about Track 3 while listening to the Allman Brothers’ Eat a Peach. The third track is Mellisa!!
Now I need to revisit some other seminal albums to check further! Down the rat hole.
There is definitely huge variation but if you look at enough albums it’s usually like track 3 or 4
