FIRST QUARTER OF 2010

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

post your top songs from the first quarter of 2010!

Circus is benefiting from there being no great music at the moment - we are in an incredibly dry spell lately, and the overexposure of Ke$ha as of recent.

I just can't listen to her the way I was in the beginning of the year because I am just tired of her music and it's been getting to the point of over saturation.

For comparative purposes she has gone 5x platinum already in the equivalent of my chart, and her album has only been out for like three months.

Circus also had a week inside my top ten along with other weeks where it was just on the outskirts so that has stopped it from declining too much. It was in the top five for my top 100 list of 2009.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I thought I was the only person to have a self-certification system.

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

^ nope, i do too. seems as though Monroe does as well!

[Choco]

I have one too, but it's fairly simple, 50 spins = Gold, 100 spins = Platinum. Only one song has made it to 7xPlatinum (Disturbia, and it's actually at 9xPlatinum now). Only 3 songs made it to 6xPlatinum (Disturbia, Bad Romance & Poker Face). It's the same for albums, where the highest one is The Fame, 2xDiamond (28xPlatinum lol).

#1 - 3OH!3 - Starstrukk (feat. Katy Perry)
#2 - Lady GaGa - Telephone (feat. Beyoncé)
#3 - Lady GaGa - Bad Romance
#4 - Rihanna - Rude Boy

#5 - Timbaland
#6 - Alicia Keys
#7 - Glee Cast (wtf? how did this thing get so high?)
#8 - David Guetta
#9 - Michael Bublé
#10 - Paramore
#11 - Ke$ha

Note: Artists only get points for songs where they're the lead artists. Otherwise, artists like Katy Perry and 3OH!3 would be higher. (Katy is just #36)

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

^ yeah mine is point based actually and sorta complex. 1 spin = 10,000 points, 1 video spin = 15,000 points, etc. But even if a song isn't spin at all during a week, if it was spun enough times to chart last week, it's still going to retain some points (otherwise i'd have the craziest chart, because i have a habit of listening to a song one week, then not the next week, then again the week after). So my charts, in a sense, build on themselves for slower turnover rates, which I like. Songs gotta CLIMB and WORK for that top spot. I've had 20 different #1 songs since the beginning of '09.

"Fight For This Love" was certified Diamond for over 10,000,000 points. As it stands, it currently has 10,692,423 points and is by far the biggest hit of the year. It will PROBABLY retain the position of #1 yearly song.
