Already #6, and it looks like it should be able to go #5 soon based on trending on Digital Sales Data. And this is purely based on buzz + the video. The airplay boost hasn't even kicked in yet. We could be looking at a Billboard Hot 100 top ten. Top 10? How about a #1? I'm looking at it conservatively based on timing. We have Ariana and Iggy songs that are working their way back there, and we're going to have a surefire smash Taylor Swift single coming out in a few weeks.

I'd say the timing is bad for Ariana and Iggy.

I'd say the timing is bad for Ariana and Iggy. I played this up in harlem and all the black girls instantly loved it. That means it probably has cross platform appeal if the record company wants it to. They can make this song happen at a number of formats. Plus its memorable.

Really surprised at how this exploded. After a couple of listenings the song is not that bad, it's a funny song idal for summer and i really like that a girl that not look like all prefabricated pop stars has her moment at the sun

Has this hit #4 on iTunes yet? Looked like it was only a handful of sales away from Nico and Vinz, which should be slowing.

If not it will be at 4 soon. Am i wrong experimented a sudden rise on sales a few weeks ago (i don't know why) and even was ahead of Stay with me for a brief while, but now it doesn't seem to be rising anymore, so it's a question of time

Are we too quick to call these artists one-hit wonders? Nico & Vinz, MAGIC!, Trainor. They all seem "one-hit-wonder-y." They could surprise us.

Nico And Vinz are very talented young men, I hope they do stick around. As for MAGIC! Rude is my jam and I'd like them to stay around but it won't kill me if they don't

If Nico and Vinz fizzle after Am I Wrong, it's the label's fault. Why on Earth is WBR not making any of the other duo's music available in the US? I don't think "In Your Arms" is a monster pop hit, but it's certainly something that fans would have scooped up the way they did Lorde's "Tennis Court" during the "Royals" explosion. If nothing else, it would have helped extend the brand. MAGIC! has several songs that COULD be big, but nothing that pops the way "Rude" did. Their fate will come down to how well people are responding to MAGIC!, the band, rather than Rude, the band's song. All About That Bass is a perfectly constructed novelty song. She clearly has talent and great producers, but we'll see if they can put something together that can survive on music rather than gimmick.

This feels like one of those songs that might be tolerable for a little while but will eventually become extremely annoying.

This definitely sounds like a one hit wonder song to me as well and the way it's shooting up so fast out of nowhere reminds me of CMM's rise. I hope Nico & Vinz aren't though, that would be a shame.

Looks like 3rd most added this week (so 4 straight weeks as one of the ten most added) including KIIS.
This isn't going anywhere but up, folks.

I really like it. Yet another song with a throwback vibe. I am loving this new trend.
