Arturo 40,746 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 how did rhenna got #1 in diamond? is it payola? No, she had more sales and streaming than One More Night and that's driven by the public. She had less radio play than OMN which is driven by the radio industry. So it was the public this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorPrince 1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Can someone explain to me what "streaming" means, when it comes to the charts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoo 6 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Magoo - Who is looking like they should get #1 for this week? I assume Diamonds will drop from the top spot this week, so it will likely be Maroon 5 again or Ke$ha. I'm betting more for M5, but hoping for Ke$ha. It's early days but at the moment I'm getting that Diamonds is far enough ahead to keep #1 despite a loss of say around 45K? sales to complete my album; with 5 versions on itunes it's selling well enough; Ke$ha should move up to #2 due to increasing airplay relative to Maroon 5.

leoj 2 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 How horrible.. it's so horrible how Bad Romance sold more than every single one of rihanna's singles and that didn't even go #1.. and how Telephone/Papparazzi/The Edge of Glory also sold more than the majority of rihanna's #1 singles and they didn't go #1 either.. she tied michael jackson this week right? (****ing pathetic..)Interscope is so ****ing retarded with gaga.. I mean really.. Rihanna can go #1 with songs that don't even go x2 platinum sometimes............................................. and katy can do the same thing.. for gaga it's so hard..

You're acting as though Ri gets #1 and #1 after #1 Gaga is only 12 singles into her career. Ri has 30+ singles as a lead artist and 40+ if you include her lead artist and collaboration singles I'm sure by the time Gaga reaches 30+ singles she'll have a good amount of #1's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leoj 2 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 and that's not the thing that pisses me off.. it's the fact these singers are following a blue print set by this women in 2009...... and are gainign more success on paper than she is... at least record wise with #1 hits.. Bad romance will forever be a #2 song.. despite it being a bigger hit than every single one of rihanna's songs ever.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math 92 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Where Have You Been peaked at #5 i don't care that much about Rihanna. Gaga beats her on album sales and touring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leoj 2 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Where Have You Been stopped at #5 ..... that doesn't change the point..In comparison to GaGa Rihanna and Katy seem to be getting #1 hits one after the other.. without even performing on live tv for some of them.....

In comparison to GaGa Rihanna and Katy seem to be getting #1 hits one after the other.. without even performing on live tv for some of them..... But let's look at Ri, Her first 12 singles in the U.S: Pon De Replay #2 If It's Lovin' That You Want #36 SOS #1 Unfaithful #6 We Ride #107 Break It Off #9 Umbrella #1 Shut Up and Drive #15 Hate That I Love You #7 Don't Stop The Music #3 Take a Bow #1 Disturbia #1 4 #1 singles... Not that much of a difference from Gaga... Now if Gaga also had 30+ singles and only 3 went #1, then we'd be talking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoj 2 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 You know what.. I went on a tantrum for no reason.. I actually enjoy diamonds.. it's also written by sia.. so congratulations to sia for gaining a #1 hit under her pocket.. considering most of the money will go to sia and not rihanna for the success of the song..
