US Charts Discussion (Part 3)

[boysboysboys 278]

Listen to me and mark my words. If Gaga's next single is worthy of #1 (sonically, lyrically etc), is released on a Monday or Tuesday, it'll debut #1.

Bewkmurrked and it's

I won't lead my flock astray. It's a promise.

[whiteboi1327 84]

what is the new rules? I am confused

[boysboysboys 278]

Seriously who decides what to play on radio?

I wonder about that sometimes. There are catchy and current songs out there that you know would have smashed on radio, but did not.

I'm sure there's a more logical explanation than payola, though.

[Americano 31,061]

Yeah, Gaga's new single will be #1.

Snippet of a new Ke$ha song.

Second half of 2012 hit-makers to keep an eye for: Ke$ha, Beyonce (unconfirmed), Taylor Swift, Shakira

Ke$ha will be making a return to US radio, Taylor Swift is a big player in American album sales, and Shakira is a European powerhouse.

Fading acts (just for the time being) going into the second half of 2012: Katy Perry, Rihanna

[Shadow 6,499]

how do you think it will debut? (considering BB's most recent rules)

Are you referring to the changes they made last year or something more recent?

Billboard changed after the btw 99 cent sale:

I thought Ke$ha was bringing back rock and roll?

And yano we'll have the lead single from Rihanna's seventh album in a few months :lolgaga:

[Americano 31,061]

Referencing the change with streaming, including more internet plays etc. and radio play over digital sales.

I think he was talking about the new Hot 100 rules that favour radio and streaming over digital downloads

[boysboysboys 278]

Bieber's song never went #1 on iTunes?

For about a day, I believe. Then it went off the Top 10 after 2-3 days.

[Americano 31,061]

No the other new one that was released like 2 days ago

I don't think it ever went #1, and everyone was saying it was gonna break BTW's record :rofl:
