“Houdini” was added to the US radio playlist only by the end of its first week, and the small number of radio plays badly hurt the single’s performance, denying it a No.1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The situation is changing. “Houdini” quickly entered the Radio Top 50 on US Rhythmic Radio, then moved up to the Top 40, and today, we see reports about the single charting in the Top 25.
At the same time, we see that Shady’s new hit is among the Top 3 songs that increase their plays the fastest. “Houdini” is just behind “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “Million Dollar Baby”, with 1.36 million added to the count recently.
Considering the diminishing streaming numbers, “Houdini” would really need that boost otherwise predictions that the single might slide down to No.7 might become true.
So, keep streaming, buying, and demanding to play the song on the US radio stations.
