US Charts Discussion (Part 2)

[boysboysboys 278]

I heard WHYB today as I got picked up from school. Some annoying juniors or seniors were blasting it in their car.

It's catching on :kill:

It's sad, but there's nothing we can do right now. Def Jam is literally shoving Rihanna right down people's throats.

It's not like Interscope will pay or threaten radio stations to embargo WHYB's airplay. :lol:

I swear Flo Rida new single is going to be all over the radio for the whole ****ing summer. Mark my word.

Club Can't Handle Me is one of my guilty pleasures :)

Have you seen it on iTunes? It ain't moving up

So true.

[_Lam 597]

Ok, but it just changed it to media? Is that right?

Try again I think it is because the first time you forgot it so it automatically added the "media" tags. Delete everything and try again maybe ?

My morning jam right now. Best way to wake up in the sunny morning going to work... with my tea of course !

:coffee:

Huh? Of course it didn't.

[Americano 31,061]

Huh? Of course it didn't.

It hasn't.

Just because a song flopped doesn't mean there was some conspiracy against her.

Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" album holds at No. 1 for a second week on the Billboard 200 chart, shifting 114,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan (down 11%). The pop veteran blocks Jason Mraz from earning his first chart-topping, as "Love Is a Four Letter Word" starts in the No. 2 slot with 102,000.

The track, featuring Wiz Khalifa, notches the best-ever sales week for a digital song by a group, surpassing the 464,000 rung up by the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" when it debuted at No. 1 on April 18, 2009.

Last week's No. 1, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra), falls to No. 2 with 463,000 (down 15%) while Fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae) drops a rung to No. 3 with 251,000 (down 25%).

Essentially everyone.

If the Queen has a flop, then all the other b---hes will have to suffer as well.

BB Hot 100 top 11

http://www.billboard...006870752.story

#1 Gotye STIUTK ft Kimbra (=)

#2 Fun. WAY ft. Monae (=)

#3 Maroon 5 Payphone (New)

#4 Justin Bieber Boyfriend (+1)

#5 The Wanted GYC (-2)

#6 Flo Rida WO ft Sia (=)

#7 Carly Rae Jepsen CMM (+1)

#8 One Direction WMYB (-4)

#9 Nicki Minaj Starships (-2)

#10 Kelly Clarkson Stronger (-1)

#11 Train DB (+2)

mm - I'd expected Payphone to be #2 over WAY with its 242K more sales. It looks like sales is given even less weight than airplay and streaming now, the sales needing to be multiplied by 60% to get Hot 100 points - so WAY is 151 pts from Sales, 136 from Airplay and 55 from Streaming making 342 pts vs Payphone 296 pts from Sales, 33 from Airplay and 10 from Streaming making 449 points total. Really difficult to get a #1 debut now!
