Popular Singles?

[laxwatcher]

Isn't it weird how in every album, the second single has been the most popular in the charts and in iTunes.

Excepting AROBTTH, for the rest of the albums, the 2nd single has been the most popular, and the first has been the second most popular.

 

AROBTTH has many popular songs, so Clocks and The Scientist are interchangeable.

 

I'm going by the current US iTunes, so it might be different for other countries, but this appears to be the average response in charts.

For example: (The lighter the green the more popular it has been)
