Love The New Coldplay song, much better than the other 2 imo. So happy for Coldplay. It was the same with "Midnight", right? midnight went to 3 I believe Side note: Micheal Jackson and Justin Timberlake have a duet at #12 on iTunes.

Damn, Coldplay must have gotten a ton of new pre-orders on since "Midnight" came out.

Usher Channels Michael Jackson for 'Love Never Felt So Good' Preview
After hearing a two-minute clip of a "new" Michael Jackson song, "Love Never Felt So Good," during the iHeartRadio Awards Thursday night, fans have more reason to anticipate the King of Pop's posthumous album, "Xscape," due May 13 on Epic Records.
At the awards, one of Michael Jackson's logical successors, R&B star Usher, channeled Jackson during the song's preview, dancing across the stage, moonwalking, and even hopping on a table to spin. Dancers dressed like Jackson also mimicked the singer's signature moves, capturing the late legend's energy in front of digital backdrops flashing graffiti and brick walls.
Written by Jackson and Paul Anka in 1983 and produced by John McClain, "Love Never Felt So Good" is a downtempo, roller-rink-ready disco track reminiscent of classic cuts like "Rock With You" from Jackson's 1979 album "Off the Wall." The first official single from "Xscape," "Love Never Felt So Good" goes on sale at 12:01 ET Friday on all digital service providers. A bonus version of the song, teaming Jackson and Justin Timberlake, will be available individually as well as on the deluxe version of "Xscape."

"Xscape" includes eight songs Jackson recorded between 1983 and 1999. Timbaland, the album's lead producer, is joined by contributions from big-name producers Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jermone "Jroc" Harmon, and McClain. In his introduction of "Love Never Felt So Good," L.A. Reid, chairman and CEO of Epic Records, said he was "instantly reminded that Michael Jackson is the greatest" when reviewing the icon's vault of unreleased material.
Jackson's first posthumous album, "Michael," was released in 2010 and featured production from McClain, Akon, Teddy Riley, Lenny Kravitz, and C. "Tricky" Stewart, among others.

A record will be set or reset I guess if this Thriller era songs makes the Top 40 on the Hot 100
(Michael Jackson already has the record but will extend it)
Longest time between between first and last top 40 hit
Got To Be There -1972 --- Hold My Hand 2009

OMG! What made Coldplay's new song jump up to #1 that quickly? The iTunes chart is crazy lately. Pre-orders of Ghost Stories.

1 week ago "Happy" was #1 and now it's down to #4. Crazy. And MJ might pass it, too.

"Problem" looks to return to #1 any minute.
Edit: LOL, it just did.

"Problem" looks to return to #1 any minute. Edit: LOL, it just did. A lot of us thought Fancy would dethrone Problem this week, myself included, but it looks to be that Problem is resurging as Fancy has now dropped to below 80% of Problem's sales (I assume the green color indicates increase in sales for the song?). Maybe this is just a temporary resurgence for Problem but it is also quite possible that it will be one of those rare songs that debuted really high but doesn't fall off soon like most first-week buzz songs do (Payphone, Get Lucky, etc.)...Problem might be there to stay and then it will have a pretty good chance of getting to number one on the Hot 100 too as early as next week (and it must be extremely rare for a song to debut in the top 10 but not top 3 and then go to number one in its second week) and it could block Fancy on both iTunes and the Hot 100! I guess there is a chance that we underestimated the longevity power of Problem.

Maybe, but I hope this song has staying power, not high debut, stays up there for a few weeks, then plummets off the face of the Earth, I hope this solidifies Ariana as a legit popstar that will have a lengthy career! I'm already astounded by what this song has accomplished though, the rest is just perks! So proud of my girl Ari!!!

I hope this isn't an example of what the rest of the album is going to be, it doesn't even sound like him.

Fancy is at about 85% of Problem...maybe Fancy still has a chance at being number one in sales if Problem drops

Not the same show now that they have a girl Wiggle
Anyway, should be top 10 before you know it. The two songs from The Voice won't stick around long

Come Get It Bae is the single, so it's pretty obvious why it's higher! That and it was performed on the Voice, AND the constant NBA promo!
