Yeah she definitely needs to do at least 300k[/quote

Actually I think she will need to sell 350 or 375k but I will wait until Wednesdays numbers for post gift cards/itunes discounts sales to make my official estimate.

[ListenToItTwice]

Impressive debut for P!nk's "Perfect." Also, pleasantly surprised (thrilled, even) to see "Rolling in the Deep" charting on Rock. I really hope it makes its way to the Adult Contemporary chart, and continues climbing Adult Pop.

[kingofpain]

I would have thought Chasing Pavements would have been big on AC here, but even they passed on it, even after she won a Grammy for it.

There really needs to be some limits on AC.

There needs to be some kind of overhaul of the radio stations and a true adjustment to the system as a whole. Probably won't happen though :(

[SPRΞΞ]

i thought airplay ended on Tuesdays. How come Billboard airplay charts are posted on mondays?

[HolidayGuy]

The period for spins-based charts is Monday-Sunday; for audience-based charts, it's Wednesday-Tuesday.

As mentioned before, it takes a low number of spins to chart at the bottom of AC- as, if just a couple of stations spin a song enough, it can chart at the bottom.

[Tea-why]

So who do we think will be #1 this week?

[HolidayGuy]

Billboard.com:

Meanwhile, over on the Digital Songs chart, Bruno Mars' "Grenade" continues to hold at No. 1 for a fourth week in a row, shifting 275,000 (down 35%). Katy Perry's "Firework" also maintains its position at No. 2 (230,000; down 42%). Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" rises two to No. 3 (192,000; down 29%), Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" is up three to No. 4 (186,000; down 29%), and the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)" climbs three to No. 5 (181,000; down 30%). Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" drops three to No. 6 (174,000; down 46%), Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot" rises five spots to No. 7 (160,000; down 12%), and P!nk's "Raise Your Glass" slips four to No. 8 (158,000; down 42%). Closing out the top 10 is Rihanna's "What's My Name?," down three to No. 9 (150,000; down 43%) and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite," up three to No. 10 (125,000; down 31%).

Only two Idol tracks made Nielsen SoundScan's list of the 200 top-selling digital tracks this past week: Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay duet and Carrie Underwood's current single, Mama's Song.

Here's SoundScan download data for an assortment of tracks:

Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson, Don't You Wanna Stay (53,000, -15%, 378,000 total)
Carrie Underwood, Mama's Song (17,000, -37%, 309,000)
Carrie Underwood, Undo It (11,000, -50%, 983,000)
Carrie Underwood, Cowboy Casanova (7,000, -46%, 1.567 million)
Carrie Underwood, Temporary Home (6,000, -50%, 646,000)
Carrie Underwood, There's a Place for Us (6,000, -47%, 72,000)
Carrie Underwood, Before He Cheats (6,000, -41%, 3.14 million)
Jason Castro, You Are (2,000, +3%, 11,000)
Jason Castro, Hallelujah [Album Version] (1,000, -18%, 54,000)



Nice to see Undo it will be platnium soon :) Dont You Wana stay is doing very well. I hope mama's song can make gold, but it isnt looking good

[popstop]

If we go by the last mediabase figures, then it looks like Bruno's back at #1

[cking33]

So it looks like Bruno will be back at #1 this week? He sold 45k more than Katy Perry this week and is only about 25-30 million AI behind her in mediabase.

Heavy bets for Britney. She sold over 150k of her new single with only one day of sales, and she is also getting huge gains on radio too 15 million in audience for her first two days.

I assume 150k is a lot but what are usual first day sales? 50k? 100k? ???

I'd say about 50k. I remember it was a HUGE deal with Taylor Swift sold 90k first day.. but after 2 days Britney should have 300 ish chart points.

[Riot]

Bruno Mars' hit Grenade (the current #1) sold 270k divide that by 7, and you get a little less than 40k per day. So I think 150k within a one day period is pretty significant. For a comparison Taylor Swift's "Mine" accumulated sales of 297k for a three day total, for an average of just under 100k per day.

Her song wasn't even on iTunes early enough for sales to count towards this week's chart. Unless she has over 400 million AI this week, I highly doubt she will get the #1 this week.

But, hey, maybe she did earn enough AI to debut at #100, and if she did, then she's going to take and hold a record forever next week. (I don't think her AI is high enough to debut at all, though.)

I definitely think "Grenade" is getting #1 again this week.

[kingofpain]

I would like Britney to debut at #1 next week so I don't want to see her in the Hot 100 this week.

Week Ending Jan. 9, 2011: Songs: Another Taboo Falls
Posted 18 minutes ago by Paul Grein in Chart Watch

This week's Hot 100 includes two songs that feature in their titles what we used to gingerly call "the F word." P!nk's "F****' Perfect" is the week's top new entry at #57. It joins Cee Lo Green's former top 10 hit "F*** You (Forget You)," which rebounds from #22 to #21. And that doesn't even count "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" by Enrique Iglesias featuring Ludacris, which holds at #6 for the second week. I'm sure you can guess what the edgier version of that song is titled..

Another song on this week's Hot 100 reminds us that it's not 1955 anymore. My Darkest Days' "Porn Star Dancing" debuts at #98. Two songs on Hot Digital Songs also make the point: Rihanna's "S&M," which jumps from #195 to #138, and Lil Wayne featuring Drake's "Gonorrhea," which drops from #136 to #162..

There's another fairly forward lyric on the Hot 100, but this one is played for laughs. "I Just Had Sex" by the comedy troupe the Lonely Island (featuring Akon) drops to #53, after peaking at #30 two weeks ago. Andy Samberg and company performed the song on Saturday Night Live on Dec. 18..

What was the first song that included the "F word" in its lyric to become a hit? Two such songs from 1970 received a lot of airplay: Free's "All Right Now" (which cracked the top five that October) and John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" (which was never released as a single). Apparently, there was a clean version of "All Right Now" ("let's move before they raise the parking rate"), but most stations played the original ("let's move before they raise the f****g rent") and just bleeped or muffled the "F word.".

Prince's "Erotic City," from 1984's chart-topping Purple Rain soundtrack, also received widespread airplay, despite its racy line "We can f*** until the dawn." Some insist that he's really singing "We can funk until the dawn." I tend to doubt that, but I'll leave it to you to decide..

"F**k You (Forget You)" has been listed in the top 30 for 16 straight weeks. It has sold 1,810,000 digital copies to date and is a Grammy finalist for both Record and Song of the Year. While the title pushes the envelope, the record is so good-natured that even those who frown at the coarsening of popular culture probably can't resist its charms..

.
Bruno Mars' "Grenade" returns to #1 on the Hot 100 after being dislodged last week by Katy Perry's "Firework." It's Mars' third hit to spend two or more weeks on top, following B.o.B's "Nothin' On You" (two weeks) and "Just The Way You Are" (four weeks)..

This is the fourth straight week that "Grenade" has sold more digital copies than any other song. It sold 275,000 copies this week, bringing its 16-week total to 2,335,000..

"Firework" slips to #2 after four weeks on top. The song owes most of its appeal to its turbo-charged dynamics, but it has a killer opening line: "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag/drifting through the wind..." It's Perry's second song in a row to start off with a memorable line. "Teenage Dream" opened with "You think I'm pretty/without any make-up on." Perry and her army of songwriters understand that you've got to grab listeners at the start..

"What's My Name?" by Rihanna jumps to #1 in the U.K. this week. The smash topped the Hot 100 in November. It's Rihanna's fourth song to reach #1 in both countries, following "Umbrella (featuring Jay-Z), "Take A Bow" and "Only Girl (In The World)." Only one woman in chart history has had four or more transatlantic #1 hits. Madonna has had five: "Papa Don't Preach," "Who's That Girl," "Like A Prayer," "Vogue" and "Music.".

Whitney Houston is next in line among female artists, with three transatlantic #1 hits: "Saving All My Love For You," "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" and "I Will Always Love You.".

Rihanna is the first artist to hit #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. with back-to-back singles since the Black Eyes Peas achieved the feat in 2009 with "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling." Rihanna is only the second female solo artist in chart history to do it, following Lady Gaga, who scored with "Just Dance" (featuring Colby O'Donis) and "Poker Face.".

The Official Charts Company, which monitors sales in the U.K., points out something else: This is the fifth consecutive year in which Rhianna has had a British #1. "Umbrella" topped the chart there in 2007, followed by "Take A Bow" in 2008, Jay-Z's "Run This Town" (which also featured Kanye West)" in 2009, and "Only Girl In The World" last year. The only other solo artist in British history to land a #1 hit in each of five straight years was Elvis Presley..

Rihanna also has the #1 album in the U.K. with Loud. This is the second time she has topped both U.K. charts simultaneously. She previously achieved the double feat in 2007 with "Umbrella" and the album Good Girl Gone Bad..

Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 songs from Billboard's Hot 100. I also show the song's ranking on Nielsen SoundScan's current Hot Digital Songs chart (and this week's digital sales tally)..

1. Bruno Mars, "Grenade." The song returns to the #1 spot for a second week. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (275K)..

2. Katy Perry, "Firework." The smash dips to #2 after four weeks on top. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #2 (230K)..

3. Rihanna featuring Drake, "What's My Name?" The former #1 hit inches up from #4 to #3. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #9 (150K)..

4. Ke$ha, "We R Who We R." The former #1 hit dips from #3 to #4. This is its 11th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #6 (174K)..

5. P!nk, "Raise Your Glass." The former #1 hit holds at #5 for the second week. This is its 12th week in the top 10. This is P!nk's second best-selling digital hit, trailing only "So What." Digital sales rank: #8 (158K)..

6. Enrique Iglesias featuring Ludacris, "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)." The song holds at #6 for the second week. This is its third week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (192K)..

7. Wiz Khalifa, "Black And Yellow." The song inches up from #8 to #7. This is its third week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #4 (186K)..

8. The Black Eyed Peas, "The Time (Dirty Bit)." The song dips from #7 to #8. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #5 (181K)..

9. Bruno Mars, "Just The Way You Are." The former #1 hit holds at #9 for the second week. This is its 21st week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #15 (110K)..

10. Rihanna, "Only Girl (In The World)." The former #1 hit jumps from #12 to #10. This is its 15th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #19 (89K). .

Nelly's "Just A Dream" drops from #10 to #15. It logged 17 weeks in the top 10. The song is Nelly's biggest digital seller ever..

.

Gwyneth Paltrow's "Country Strong" is the week's second highest new entry at #81. Paltrow reached #11 on the Hot 100 in December with her Glee version of "Forget You." Paltrow's 2000 duet with Huey Lewis of Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'" "bubbled under" the Hot 100, peaking at #109..

David Guetta's "Who's That Chick" bows at #85. The title echoes his biggest hit, "Sexy Chick" (featuring Akon), which cracked the top 10 in December 2009. It has sold 2,950,000 copies..

Pop Quiz: Two months after the Beatles' music was made available digitally, two of their songs are still listed on Hot Digital Songs. Guess which ones. Answer below..

Song Scorecard: Two current collaborations top the 3 million mark in paid downloads this week: "I Like It" by Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull and "Like A G6" by Far*East Movement featuring Cataracs & Dev. .

Iglesias' current smash, "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" (featuring Ludacris & DJ Frank E) tops the 1 million mark in paid downloads this week. Two other hits also reach the milestone: Mike Posner's "Please Don't Go" and Chris Brown's "Deuces" (featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall)..

Fan Tribute: Gerry Rafferty's 1978 smash "Baker Street" sold 16K copies in the week after his death. Raphael Ravenscroft's sax solo is justly celebrated, but the lyric is awfully good too..

Quiz Answer: The two Beatles songs that are still listed on Hot Digital Songs are "Let It Be" (total digital sales to date: 227K) and "Here Comes The Sun" (181K). "Let It Be" (written by Paul McCartney) was a #1 hit and a Grammy finalist for Record and Song of the Year. George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" wasn't even released as a single, if you can believe that, though a fine cover by Richie Havens climbed into the top 20 in 1971..

Coming Attractions: Look for a very big debut next week from Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me." Spears' "3" debuted at #1 in October 2009..

That's what I am talking about. The chart that is being reflected is the one that finished a week beforehand. Shouldn't it be called the the 13th chart then, not the 22nd chart?

[jebsib]

No, its been like this for more than 30 years.

[HolidayGuy]

Actually, hasn't Billboard dated the charts like that since the Hot 120 began?

Pink's track is a re-entry this week, as it had debuted a couple of weeks back at 86.
