Billboard Hot 100: 4/9/11

^Exactly- I don't know anyone goes on about this one and that one "deserving"- if radio plays it enough and enough people buy it, then it's deserving, no matter how lackluster one may think it is.

They could easily change the words like they did when she performed Rude Boy on the KCA last year

Why bother? Everyone knows by S&M, she's actually referring to the Standard Model!

As for the lyrics, she can simply say "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but gauge theories intrigue me!"

(waits for Weird Al Yankovic to pounce on this) ;)

The word "deserves" can actually be used in different scenarios, but you probably know that. Let's take a look at the following example:

Contestant A gets eliminated from American Idol and someone says:

- He's so good. He didn't deserve to get cut so early in the competion.

You can either answer to that using:

a) I agree. / I disagree.

b) He did deserve to get cut because he got the least amount of votes and the one who gets the least amount of votes deserves to be eliminated.

While both answer are possible, it's unlikely any reasonable person would use "b" since it's obvious the speaker is already aware of how the voting system works and is therefore just expressing a personal prefference.

^ Yes, but a key difference is that the charts have never been about what is considered the "best," whereas a singing/talent competition SHOULD be. :) (Granted, we've seen how the public has kept some less-than-stellar acts in the running on Idol before).

[LegendaryLover]

E.T. has this on lock.

While a singing competion should be about who's best, it's actually about who gets more votes (the one the public liked better that week). Charts are also about who gets more points (the one song people liked better that week, the one that was the most popular).

The Kanye version just got removed from iTunes... :'( Original is up to #33.

[nighttime]

IF ET doesn't get put back up or if the album version doesn't rise up to the top immediately today, then it's pretty much a three way race between ET, BTW, & S&M. All should be coming within points of each other. I still say the advantage is ET though.

[Choco]

Don't forget BTW may retain a decent amount of physical sales... It will be very close unless E.T. returns and goes top 3 again while the original keeps gaining.

[Living Legend]

Original E.T. is up to #24 on itunes, maybe it will shoot up to the top!!

[kingofpain]

Why did they remove the Kanye version?

40M gap between Katy and GaGa, and the gap will get even closer by the time the tracking week ends.

[Deleted]

3,334 :o
I think that's the biggest update I've seen since Born This Way.

[Choco]

And you would think Firework would be collapsing, but it's going down pretty slowly.

with 3 more days, that gap could close to 34M. And even if E.T. was pulled all together right now, Katy would still beat her. Luckily the original is zooming up the chart, so she'll destroy her in the end.

#11 now. :o

[Deleted]

Has a song ever topped itunes with 2 different versions of itself?

[Choco]

I don't think so. I recall JLo having popular songs and then releasing even more popular remixes but that was way before iTunes sold music...

[felipe]

Fuck you still having some great updates.

Which ET version gets played on the radio? With or without Kanye?

[seanblain]

^^ FEAT. KANYE

Both get played. ET fea. Kanye was the single sent out(and the one getting the more airplay)but the original is heard alot aswell

Amazing Radio Update for Katy! Really hoping she get's #1 even with the remix being pulled.

4. RIHANNA - S&M: 105.341 (+ 2.503)


She is truly the queen of radio.

Beyonce might have something to say about that. Their Hot 100 Airplay stats are both impressive, though. Katy Perry has become quite the radio staple this era as well and Lady GaGa is getting there.

[weaver]

I still don't understand why they would pull the Kanye version. What could the rationale possibly be? This is really selling a lot, let's make it unavailable? Hm....

[Epic Fail]

ANother airplay #1 at least. Will see about Hot 100

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

Katy will be #1.

The best is according to what the most people liked. AI has determined for it's show what the best means. The best is always going to be subjective that's why popularity is measured instead.
