[LegendaryLover]

Predictions.

#1. E.T. 327+94=421
#2. S&M 159+122=281
#3. JCGE 203+49=252
#4. BTW


If they did not count Katy's airplay, she would still be #1. ;)

[HolidayGuy]

As the single with the most combined airplay, sales and streaming points, you better believe it deserves it.

[#LisaRinna]

Katy has the #1 on lock for 2 weeks more at least. I love the song.

[Lockheart]

I know Britney will climb a few spots, but she'll probably won't outpeak #9 this week

[SPRΞΞ]

congrats to Katy for a 2nd week at #1. All of her TD singles have been #1 for multiple weeks now, amazing!!!

i hate when a song is only #1 for 1 week. Not Katy tho. :)

[stanr]

^ She has 140 chart points (90k sales +50M AI), i don't know if she can outpeak #9..

Switching gears to the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "E.T." holds at No. 1, selling another 327,000 downloads (up 29%), following the premiere of its out-of-this-world music video last week. The Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" moves up 3-2 (203,000; down 7%), and Rihanna's "S&M" is also up one, 4-3 (159,000; down 4%).

Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)" drops 5-7 (134,000; down 14%), Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" descends 6-8 (129,000; down 12%), and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" rises 11-9 (122,000; up 16%).

It looks like S&M has stabilized in the digital sales. Only a matter of a few weeks before it drops out of being a contender for #1.

It's not even top ten on DSC this week, so I'm positive and optimistic that next week, she's gonna get it

[stanr]

^yeah ikr..
next week TTWE will be at #6 after ET, JCGE, S&M, BTW, F**ck U..

[jebsib]

I wonder what the highest point total of a #1 song has ever been. Maybe the massive sales of Elton's "Candle 1997"?

[Envoirment]

Nice sales for Adele! How many points do you need to get into the top 10? Adele is/will be on around 150, most probably 180ish next week. Hopefully that will be enough to bring her into the top 10 on the hot 100 ^^

[HolidayGuy]

^In the SoundScan era, when such precise tracking became possible-I'd think so, jesbib. The single scanned 3.2 million or so in its first week. :o

Unless something drastic happens. I was feeling this same way about OG.

Katy Perry's 'E.T.' Widens Lead Atop Hot 100

Katy Perry's "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, solidifying its top standing by claiming dual Digital and Airplay Gainer honors.


Spurred by the premiere of its special-effects-heavy video last Thursday (March 31), "E.T." tallies a fourth week at No. 1 on Digital Songs with 327,000 downloads sold (up 29%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. The sum is Perry's fifth-highest weekly total, eclipsed only by two weeks each for prior Hot 100 No. 1s "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, and "Firework."

On Radio Songs, "E.T." bounds 10-6 with 88 million audience impressions (up 20%), according to Nielsen BDS.


Rihanna's "S&M" holds at No. 2 for a second week on the Hot 100, while becoming her record-setting fifth consecutive No. 1 (2-1) on Radio Songs (and eighth overall), besting streaks of four each by Destiny's Child (2000-01) and Usher (2004). She has linked leaders in each of her last five appearances on Radio Songs courtesy of "Rude Boy," Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," on which she guested, "Only Girl in the World" and "What's My Name?," featuring Drake, prior to "S&M."

The Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" rises 5-3 on the Hot 100 and Cee Lo Green's "F**k You (Forget You)" dips 3-4. Although the latter song drops 1-2 on Radio Songs, it rewrites the mark for longest journey to No. 1 on Pop Songs.

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" descends 4-5 on the Hot 100 and Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now," featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, lifts 7-6. "Look" logs a third week at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs survey.

Jeremih's "Down on Me," featuring 50 Cent, advances 9-7 on the Hot 100, Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, climbs 10-8 and P!nk's "F**kin' Perfect" slides 8-9.

The success of Adele's sophomore album "21," which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 941,000 copies in its first six weeks, according to SoundScan, spurs the soulful British singer/songwriter's first top 10 on the Hot 100, as "Rolling in the Deep" roars 17-10. The track surges 11-9 on Digital Songs (122,000 downloads sold, up 16%) and 50-36 on Radio Songs (33 million in audience).


As he arrives at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with his debut set "Rolling Papers," rapper Wiz Khalifa scores the Hot 100's Hot Shot Debut with "When I'm Gone." "Roll Up," the album's second proper single following the No. 1 "Black and Yellow," edges 29-28.

Of the Hot 100's six debuts this week, two belong to TV-related acts. "Grey's Anatomy" actress Sara Ramirez's cover of Brandi Carlile's "The Story," from the "Grey's Anatomy: The Music Event" soundtrack, which features songs from the ABC series' special musical episode last Thursday, begins at No. 69. The set starts at No. 24 on the Billboard 200, while Ramirez's own self-titled EP enters at No. 37.

The "Victorious" cast (which, unlike the "Grey's Anatomy" ensemble, offers regular musical performances on its Nickelodeon series), bows on the Hot 100 at No. 83 with "Beggin' on Your Knees," featuring Victoria Justice. The troupe reached No. 50 in January with its prior chart entry, "Freak the Freak Out."

All charts will be refreshed tomorrow (April 7) on Billboard.com.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Adele's top 10!!!! It would be so awesome if it went to #1, which isn't totally out the question with it being covered on Glee and the increasing airplay. Fingers crossed!

i hate when a song is only #1 for 1 week. Not Katy tho. :)

That raises an interesting question: out of the albums that have achieved four Hot 100 #1s, how many had four multi-week number ones?

I shall investigate that immediately.

Vision Of Love - 3 weeks
Love Takes Time - 3 weeks
Someday - 2 weeks
I Don't Wanna Cry - 2 weeks

Congrats Adele! #10 Hot 100!

True story.

Usher also did it with Confessions, and George Michael with Faith. Teenage Dream is only the fourth album ever to have four multi-week #1 singles on the Hot 100.

Yes Sir! it is Elton John.

[Verisimilitude]

The Macarena must be close too since that was a decent radio hit and much bigger on radio than both of Elton's A Sides at the time.

[HolidayGuy]

Tidbits from Paul Grein's albums column:

Five Britney Spears tracks- led by 'Till the World Ends" at No. 15- appear on Hot Digital Songs, but "Hold It Against Me" is not one of them- it was #66 on the 4/9 chart, but this week, the impact of "Complete My Album" returns resulted in negative sales this week.

Jennifer Hudson's "Where You At" drops to 149 on Hot Digital Songs.

"Macarena" never sold anywhere close to 3 million in a week- there's only so much of a gap in airplay for tracks, but there's never been the kind of sales domination in the SS era as seen by Elton John's single. :)

[jebsib]

I'd be interested to know what Elton's one week point total high was.

We know Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" is the one week BDS champ - wonder if that translated into the #2 biggest week overall or if another song had a bigger sales / airplay punch...

[HolidayGuy]

^If so, it would be way out of the total enjoyed by "Candle in the Wind 1997." WBT's airplay lead would have been 90 million or so over No. 2 airplay- translating to 9,000 chart points.

Just checked- Elton's single sold nearly 3.5 million in its first week; the two tracks had a combined 49 million audience. In its second week, CITW scanned 1.2 million, 750% more than the No. 2 on Singles Sales. :o

[musik...]

^^ Wow, that puts the great single sales weeks for Born This Way into perspective. Going nearly 5x platinum in two weeks is something that will remain unrivaled for quite some time.

[popstop]

^ And that's physical sales. People had to leave their houses to buy it. I was one of them that bought it that first week. I still have it somewhere, unopened.

[Deleted]

Awesome for Katy :) Two weeks and counting for ET! I'm holding out hope for 5 weeks total :) And amazing for Adele! Rolling in the Deep is amazing, but doesnt sound like something that would be in the top 10 this day and age, blood awesome for her :)

Nice little tidbit about Destiny's Child(having 4 airplay #'1's and was the leader with Usher til RiRi's 5th) :)

[badrobot]

So excited for Adele! Very well deserved.

The success of ET is very surprising to me -- I love the song but never thought it would find a mainstream audience like this.

Very true! It's so fitting that such an iconic song holds such an iconic distinction.

[badrobot]

Gaga just announced Judas is coming out 4/19.

So, if it sells well enough for a #1 debut, that would likely give Katy 4 weeks at #1 for ET.
