I heard this on two different stations back to back on the weekend. It was also my first time hearing it (edit: on radio), so I was more than excited! <3

LOV-ING these updates!!! JMAR is still #1 on iTunes Canada and iTunes US, I see. Are there any other #1s currently in other countries?

Pretty cool!! Thanks for posting!!

I love watching her fly up the chart.

In other P!nk related news, "Guns And Roses" cracked the top 20 on iTunes Australia today; it's now #18. Still hearing it on the radio pretty often too, and I believe the DJ this evening said it was the most requested song of the night. T.I.'s label held it off from charting on ARIA over the past two weeks (while it was #35 and #28 on the digital chart); hopefully they stop playing stupid and let it on this week. P!nk's never had a feature crack the top 50 before.

Edit: just to clarify, it didn't have two separate versions placed at #35 and #28 on the digital chart or anything; it was #35 on the March 25 digital chart and #28 on the April 1 digital chart. And since the main ARIA singles chart is 98% digital sales (the remainder being physical sales and video sales and such), it would've charted very close to #35 and #28 on ARIA over those two weeks if it had been allowed on.

When labels hold off hits from charting here it's usually because they want a high debut. Birds of Tokyo's "Lanterns" is an example; it debuted at #42 on the digital chart on January 21 this year and was denied on the main chart that week. The following week it rocketed to #4 on the digital chart and was allowed on the main chart, where it debuted at #5. So its official chart run begins with a #5 debut instead of climbing from #42-ish to #5. I suppose the labels think that makes them look better? It's very annoying, but sadly ARIA still lets them do that.

However, for "Guns And Roses"? It doesn't seem very likely that the song will reach the top 10, and his label isn't really doing much to help the song (no video or anything). Because of that in this case I'd say that either (a) the person in charge is delusional and thinks the song will easily make top 10 so they're waiting for that to give it a top 10 debut, or (b) since it hasn't really been released (I think radio just picked it up on its own), they decided it's not worthy of charting - possibly if this is the reason they'll allow it on once it's officially released or something. Both being very silly reasons, but I can't think of anything more logical (or less illogical). I have my hopes up that they'll let it on this week since it's now top 20 on iTunes which should be significant enough for them to realize it deserves a place on ARIA, but you never know.

Edit: oh, there's also the possiblity that it's just due to complete negligence on the label's part. As T.I.'s last hit here was four years ago, I'd say it's quite possible that he has very little of an international promo team remaining and thus there hasn't been anybody to take notice of "Guns And Roses" and allow it on. Pretty scary if it's true, but it seems possible.

Holds at No. 1 on Digital Songs, with another 286,000.

Total sales are at a million? I guess I havent seen a full set of #s in a while.

haha Just about to post. Thank you! :)



#5 Billboard Hot 100! :)

#1 for a sixth week on Australian radio and the 10th most played song of January - March.

+325 :O :O

Is there a chance this may be able to hit num.1 on the Hot 100 in a couple of weeks?
This song has always sounded like one to me.
