I'm actually surprised by Diamonds. It's really different from what she's done. But it lack of surprise, it's flat and a bit boring even though it's beautiful.

I don't see this song doing so well on radio. Sounds like a filler not a lead single.

I'm disappointed with diamonds. I too expected a dance song, I was going to download it for my run this morning. I'm not sure I like non dance Rihanna, i'll leave that for the quality artists that write their own stuff.

Over on the Digital Songs chart, K-pop phenomenon Psy dances his way to No. 1 for the first time with "Gangnam Style." The single sizzles up three slots with 301,000 downloads sold last week (up 60%).

It displaces Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," which slips to No. 3 with 196,000 (down 13%). Rising up one slot (3-2) is Maroon 5's "One More Night" with 205,000 (up 7%).

fun.'s "Some Nights" ascends 5-4 (159,000; up 4%), Alex Clare's "Too Close" climbs 6-5 (131,000; down less than 1%) and Flo Rida's "Whistle" jumps 10-6 (123,000; up 12%).

Kanye West, Jay-Z and Big Sean's "Clique" tumbles 2-7 (122,000; down 42%), Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time" rises 11-8 (112,000; up 8%) and P!nk's "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" drops 7-9 (105,000; down 10%).

Rounding out the top 10 is the chart's highest debut: Christina Aguilera's "Your Body" begins at No. 10 with 103,000. Released on Monday, Sept. 17, "Your Body" is Aguilera's first top 10 as a lead artist on the Digital Songs chart since 2008, when "Keeps Gettin' Better" peaked at No. 5. "Your Body" is the lead single from Aguilera's fifth studio album, "Lotus," due out Nov. 13.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 23.53 million downloads, up 3% compared with last week (22.88 million) and up 13% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (20.76 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 985.97 million, up 6% compared with the same total at this point last year (931.37 million).

#1 205 + 120 + 42 = ### Maroon 5 One More Night (=)

#2 301 + 32 + 27 = ### PSY Gangnam Style (+9)

Magoo did PSY pass Maroon 5??

Those figures would give

Maroon 5: 259 pts,

PSY 247 pts

So M5 should retain Hot 100 #1 unless Gangnam Style got a lot more streaming than that. I read somewhere GS is #5 on spotify which could suggest about 40 pts for the streaming, and then it'll overtake OMN, will see in a couple of hours I suppose. I think it is close.

Diamonds really sounds familiar, i was expecting a huge dance song, idk how i feel about it yet.

Die Young makes me wanna puke tbh

When it first started, I instantly thought it was "Midnight City" by M83 lol.

Yeah people on ATRL said that.

I hope PSY can take #1 so we can get rid of it faster lol

It's only been a year and a month since Cheers was released... and Rihanna's starting another era already. This girl is a powerhouse.
