"Only One" actually falls from #35 to #54 this week on the Hot 100, its second week.
Not a surprise. Sales declined a bit over time and it hadn't been promoted to radio during the week covered by this survey. It was only officially released to radio this Tuesday, so airplay could start boosting it in next week's chart. And it's already started getting heavy play on some "urban" or "rhythmic" format stations. Here's one that played it 5 times today: http://www.mediabase.com/whatsong/whatsong.asp?var_s=087076076068045070077

I am curious how much effect radio play has anymore in this age. I know I never listen to it at home or in the car anymore. When I drive anywhere, I usually plug in my IPOD. I know my daughters do the same thing and they are in their 20's.

I'm not sure what "effect" you're referring to. Per Billboard, airplay makes up between 30% and 40% of the Hot 100 calculation, in addition to sales and video streaming: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/ask-billboard/5740625/ask-billboard-how-does-the-hot-100-work

By effect, I was wondering if radio play really was still very important to sales of a single.
-
Where's the Kanye/McCartney album? (a sentence I never thought I would write).
-
From what I've heard, it will just be a Kanye album, but full of many collaborations with different artists, including at least one more with Paul.

Indeed. I'm usually the one who gets all OCD about usage and grammar! But to answer yankeefan's other question, while radio is no longer the sole way people hear new music, it clearly still has an impact. If it didn't, record labels wouldn't put effort into promoting their new records to radio, and the clearly still do.

Umm, I hate to get picky, but "effect" was correct in both cases. "Affect" as a noun means a facial expression (kind of an archaic usage), not a result of some action. It could be used as a verb to say, "I am curious as to how radio play affects sales." Otherwise, it is absolutely correct to say, "I am curious how much effect radio play has anymore in this age." (Well, I would probably say "how much of an effect" personally, but it still works.) And yes, radio is still big business, and people do still listen in their cars or at work. I Heart Radio (formerly known as Clear Channel) owns tons of US radio stations, and they make a lot of money, so there's got to be significant impact on sales.

Absolutely correct. If you are talking about the effect that something has, that is a noun and was correctly used originally.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but here is why I was originally thinking it should be affect. The primary definition of affect is "to bring about a change in" [Bright light affects the eyes.] and second is "to make feel sad or sympathetic" [The little boy's accident affected us deeply.] Yes, it also refers to facial expression or "affect" (pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable in this case) which as a nurse I know all about--certain patients have a strange or odd affect. (not archaic at all--we use it a lot) But in the case used by the original poster, it was worded in such a way that it was confusing. Yes, should have been "how much of an effect" or "how much radio play affects sales." Thanks for the clarification.

Falls from 28 to number 64 in today's new UK single chart. So not a major commercial hit in the UK then.
