Billboard Hot 100: 01/21/12

As long as Katy doesn't get it, I'm one happy boy. Boo about MTN being dead though.

Lol I just don't want her to break the record. Not that it matters. I do like the song and most of the album though :)

I know. I'm getting my body ready for the record to be broken. Well, if it does anyways.

that's right, not just vanilla artists are able to break records, but instead all artists are able to break records of any other artists

1 Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up 1.0000
2 ADELE - Set Fire to the Rain 0.5694

almost a 50% lead

Adele has started taking MJ's records. Are people angry about that?

Go KATY!

I think it, too.

Yes but if sales return to the pre-Xmas 150k high, then WFL would be ~110k, which would make the race a lot closer (and mean JM would only need 250k+ to get number 1). But sales could be much higher than that. If SAIKI sells more like 200k+, then it probably will be number 1.

Rihanna is still above him in airplay, and since she's outselling him, he doesn't stand a chance this week.
LMFAO has been outselling Rihanna, though it has to make up the 50m AI gap, and since sales are gonna drop this week and it's no longer #1, I can't see them outselling her by 50m.
The spot is probably Rihanna's, but Mraz has an outside shot of making to the top.

I don't think sales will drop super dramatically. LMFAO could be #1 with around 250k, which would probably be enough to hold back Rihanna.

I don't think Jason Mraz is a threat for #1.

They were ahead of Rihanna by 20-25% all week, which means if they get 230k or so, Rihanna would get around 180k. The AI between them is 50 points, so it'll be close, but I don't think she'll return to #1 until next week.

You're forgetting that this is the week where airplay will gain like crazy. Rih's at 144 with a non Urban song. She's not going to gain much, but the others will..

Math is power.
