Unless mediabase is way off, it appears that Sometimes has peaked on all formats. There is the outside chance that it is still getting more airplay on Mainstream radio, as mediabase only tracks the top 20 or 30 per format. However, on all the formats where it is charting, the song is now losing spins.
Mediabase updates every day, and this is now a 3-day trend. The song has been noted for "starting and stopping" on the charts, but it usually has been just one format or so. This appears to be across the board. It did rise on the video charts, barely, but when a song is done on radio it seems that the video charts are quick to drop it.
I hope I'm wrong and the song is just taking another breather. Here's the website, though, so look at the 7 day formats and let us know what you think http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/
I had high hopes for the song, and with a little record company promotion, it could have done much better. It did get a decent amount of radio play and has been number 1 on Triple A for 2-5 weeks, depending on the data source. Ironically, ABOY may just have been a bigger hit on radio, as it reached 101 on the Hot 100 versus 99 but did better on most individual formats other than HAC. Oh well, the song has been impossible to predict, so maybe it can still make a comeback. However, as I've been posting, COBL is gaining airplay, especially in the Northeast, which is where the tour will be soon. I think COBL will take the spotlight in 3 or 4 weeks unless Sometimes hangs around a while longer.
