Would've thought TLC's "No Scrubs" sold more albeit it was a hit in the pre-digital era.

Kellie's "Best Days of Your Life" sold really well in the end for a song that only scraped the Hot 100 top 50, they should've pushed it to pop radio.

for one its kellie's only top 10 country it, it had a lot of help with taylor being in the video (and i beleive writing or maybe co writing it?) it gave kellie some extra visibility shes never had before. it also got an idol performance :) i dont think it couldve done much on pop radio though.

I never said LFN was doing horribly at all. I'm sure the song will do great. I'm talking about Katy's record of continuously being in the top ten. LFN hasn't yet debuted on the Hot 100, right? It will have to climb into the top ten pretty quickly to keep that continuous streak alive. ET powered into the top ten super fast but it had the Kanye remix to spur that growth, whereas LFN will probably climb at a more gradual rate.

I have no idea why you would say it's wishful thinking -- I'd be happy to see Katy keep her streak alive.

itd debuted album release week in the 40's i beleive, but it hasnt re entered yet, though it could next week, if not for sure the week after.

i have faith her top 10 continous weeks straight is safe

im guessing idol handled songs differently on itunes this year considering every previous year various songs performed throughout the show from the winner charted. it ll likley stay to this formula for following years and only their winning single will chart. looks like this new formula kinds screws anyone not in the top 2 from charting.

The sales for Lauren and Scotty's other songs weren't all that great. Their coronation songs got up high on iTunes but the other songs, not so much, compared to previous winners/runners-up. If Scotty had sold over 100K of some song he'd done during the season, too, Idol would be releasing those numbers so fast and bragging about it in a long press release (like they did when Cook sold over 900K singles in a week). The compilation albums did well so they're letting the media focus on that. Sucks for everyone else outside the Top 2.

well that's why it's important to win.

-- Adele: "Rolling in the Deep" banks a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, ascending 2-1 on Hot 100 Airplay (144 million in audience, up 6%, according to Nielsen BDS) and 3-1 on the Mainstream Top 40 radio airplay chart. Having topped the Triple A adult alternative airplay list (for 14 weeks), the song is the first by a woman to have ruled all three radio-based rankings and just the third among all acts, following Shawn Mullins' "Lullabye" (1998) and Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide" (1998-99). On Hot Digital Songs, "Deep" registers a fourth frame at No. 1 (254,000 downloads sold, down 14%, according to Nielsen SoundScan).

-- Lady Gaga: As "Born This Way" blasts in atop the Billboard 200, "The Edge of Glory," the album's third radio single, rebounds 19-8 on the Hot 100 with the chart's Greatest Gainer/Digital award (after debuting at No. 3 two weeks ago). The song storms 14-4 on Hot Digital Songs (165,000, up 74%), while jumping 37-24 on Hot 100 Airplay (39 million, up 31%). Two other tracks from "Born" enter the Hot 100 on the strength of digital sales - "You and I" (No. 37; 83,000) and "Marry the Night" (No. 79; 35,000) - while last week's top Hot 100 entry "Hair" (No. 12) and prior radio release "Judas" (No. 41 last week) depart, victims of iTunes "Complete My Album" single-to-album upgrade (as those tracks translate to track returns, per SoundScan tabulation).

-- DJ Khaled, Jason Derulo: The Hot 100 sports two vaults of at least 68 spots each, led by the former's "I'm on One" (featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne), which rockets 78-10 (159,000 downloads sold in its first full week of release). Derulo similarly rockets 92-18 with a complete week of sales "Don't Wanna Go Home," as the lead single from his forthcoming second album, "Future History," enters Hot Digital Songs at No. 16 (97,000); the track advances 51-41 on Hot 100 Airplay (28 million audience impressions, up 31%).

-- Scotty McCreery: The 2011 "American Idol" champion scores the Hot 100's Hot Shot Debut with victory ballad "I Love You This Big" at No. 11. The song, which McCreery sang on the Fox show's May 24 and May 25 finale-week episodes, starts at No. 3 on Hot Digital Songs (171,000). As previously reported, "Big" logs the highest debut on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart (No. 32) for a brand new artist's first single since the survey adopted BDS data the week of Jan. 20, 1990. McCreery's arrival bests that of 2010 "Idol" winner Lee DeWyze, whose coronation single, a cover of U2's "Beautiful Day," bowed at No. 24 on the Hot 100 with 95,000 downloads.

-- Lauren Alaina: The 2011 "Idol" runner-up charges onto the Hot 100 at No. 20 with "Like My Mother Does," which begins at No. 11 on Hot Digital Songs (121,000). Alaina likewise enjoys early support from country radio, as the cut, which she performed May 24 on "Idol," starts at No. 49 on Hot Country Songs.

-- Beyonce: "Run the World (Girls)" benefits from her performances on the 2011 Billboard Music Awards May 22 and the first half of the two-day "Oprah Winfrey Show" all-star celebration May 23, lifting to a new peak (50-29). The track had debuted at No. 33 five weeks ago. After she performed the song on the star-studded May 25 "Idol" season wrap-up, she concurrently enters the Hot 100 at No. 57 with "1+1" (57,000 downloads). (Columbia Records is not soliciting airplay for "1," instead shifting to "Best Thing I Never Had," also from Beyonce's fourth studio album "4," due June 28, as the radio follow-up to "World").

-- "Glee" Cast: The Fox TV troupe heads towards its summer vacation by sending five songs onto the Hot 100 from its May 24 second-season finale, led by two tracks written specifically for the episode: "Light Up the World" (No. 33; 86,000 downloads sold) and "Pretending" (No. 40; 79,000). The cast had charted two prior original compositions: "Loser Like Me" (No. 6) and "Get It Right" (No. 16) in April. The ensemble extends its record to 156 Hot 100 appearances dating to its June 2009 arrival.

Still not sure why some tracks (i.e. "On the Floor") would not lose sales from the "Complete My Album" feature while others would. And I'm sure I missed the answer at some point, but did we establish when SoundScan started treating these as returns in the week the album was released? Several years back, tracks regularly gained sales during the album-release week.

[Rodze]

All tracks lose sales from "complete my album".

Whether albums can be completed or not and with which tracks is what varies, for many reasons, some of which are on that Apple FAQ.

48 37 45 Just The Way You Are, Bruno Mars

50 39 35 Grenade, Bruno Mars

could be the last week for these songs. :'( besides The Lazy Song Bruno could be on the charts again soon with his colab with Eminem and Royce Da 59 which just leaked.

they might sneak another week. i mean two glee songs, you and i, and most likley at least one idol song will for sure drop below both

[forg]

I think this is Grenade's final week while JTWYA will likely hang on for one more week. After that looks like Cee Lo Green will take the longevity crown for quite awhile

I hope Good Life enters the top 20 soon

[LegendaryLover]

^ Agreed. This is Grenade's last week and JTWYA would most likely hang on for a couple of weeks more.

Firework is holding up pretty well, still higher than Grenade, which is impressive, considering Firework exploded (pardon me) before Grenade.

Just because I remember their countdown singles had done well, I’d thought that JoBros’ A Little Big Longer’s songs had done well the week of album release, but only 1 album track charted. Bieber had 3 & 1, respectively. Taylor's Fearless originally had 6, the re-release had 6, and Speak Now had 10.

Surprised at Judas and Born this Way. BTW's days of T20 may be over for good after all.

"It's one top-40 hit away from tying Stevie Wonder for fifth-most top 40 hits ever."

Glee's pace will be kind of up in the air. Through sectionals (9 episodes), it had 19 T40's. The last 13 had a total of 12, with half of those coming from the 2 competition episodes.

Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Songs

100 NEW 1 Rolling In The Deep, Adele

[HolidayGuy]

^What does that leave, country? RITD must have an audience of 1m and change at R&B to debut.
