For those of you who don't usually chart album tracks, how is a song's performance affected on your chart if you listen through the album and the song is not released until long after the album (Wildest Dreams is a recent example)?

I have two charts and sometimes if an album is slow to release singles, I'll go ahead and choose my own singles for my other chart (that I don't post here), so if it does become an official single later on, it tends to not do as well on my main chart (the one I do post here). Recent examples have been Serena Ryder's singles that came after What I Wouldn't Do (Fall and Heavy Love). Both of those songs I charted before they were singles so I treated them as singles and by the time they became official, I was over both of them in that context. Serena is a core artist for me but Fall peaked only at #48 or something. The same thing is happening now with Brandi Carlile (another core artist for me) with The Things I Regret.
When this doesn't happen though, the songs tend to do much better because when they move from album-track to single, I can hear them in a new context and that kind of affects how it plays out for me.
