if the song is different from Rihanna's, Katy's, Gaga's, Adele's etc., does it means it's the worst? I never said I like Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, or Adele. I find Birthday Cake irritating, Rumour Has It terribly repetitive in an uninteresting way, Part of Me pretty generic...Gaga doesn't have a single this year. My not liking this one song doesn't automatically mean I don't like songs that don't sound like the other stuff on the radio; it just means I don't like THIS song. At all.

^ I'm stunned. As much as I dislike this song, it really should be #1 this week. If WAY gets it again (as much as I LOVE that song), then it's really time to rethink the formula.

The .6 is an estimation of course... I wonder what its based off of since itunes isn't reporting pop bars anymore. www.livepopbars.com/index.php?Region=143441&Chart=34&numbers=Get+Chart+%28Numbers%29"Popbars are displayed at 20x higher resolution (increments of 0.0025) where available. This is now the maximum resolution available in iTunes. This change has been applied to overall charts for individual countries, not aggregate or genre charts - these remain at the lower 0.05 resolution" Kworb should just stop with the estimations. It's needlessly confusing people. I like his site better because it's not bloated with ads and has the historical values, but since he started with the "fake" numbers I've gone back to using only www.livepopbars.com.

For what it's worth
OVERALL 1 Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 4 Glee Cast - Somebody That I Used To Know 74 Walk of the Earth - Somebody That I Used To Know 129 Lindsey Pavao - Somebody That I Used To Know (The Voice) 265 Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 361 Gotye - Eyes Wide Open 867 Gotye - Heart's A Mess 1002 Gotye - Save Me
3 Gotye - Making Mirrors
ALTERNATIVE 1 Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 24 Gotye & Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 36 Gotye - Eyes Wide Open 105 Gotye - Save Me 193 Gotye - Easy Way Out
1 Gotye - Making Mirrors
ELECTRONIC 12 Gotye - Heart's A Mess
5 Gotye - Like Drawing Blood
If Glee/Idol had that much of an effect on iTunes sales, I wouldn't be surprised if it pushed STIUTK to #1 on the OnDemand chart as well. Not only did Phillip & Elise help this song last night, didn't hurt to have Steven Tyler say that this song is "changing music" and have JLO and Randy give it endorsements as well.

"We Are Young" is down to 0.5. The Glee cover of "Somebody That I Used To Know" is at 0.4125, but it should be on the way down. It's looking good for Gotye to get that #1. :)

I would LOVE for Gotye to get number 1. Madly in love with this song.
And what a way to follow-up We Are Young at number 1. Love the "alternative" domination right now.

What's that version at 265? It's the deluxe album version (as opposed to the regular album version). Exact same recording. Not a difference to speak of.

As much as I'm glad to see Gotye reach #1 (I'm not impressed with his present album, and don't see any large follow-up hits for him, but it is a stand-out single)..........I immensely pray we witness a major chart shake-up within the next week or two.
It does bother me a bit that the radio and digital charts are running strikingly parallel to each other right now. I'd like to see a few new breakout digital cut sensations that aren't propelled by television, for one.
Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

^Streaming is also not too far off from Radio/Airplay as well. All three of the main components are pretty much on the same page; so we'll be looking pretty stagnant for a while in my opinion.

Until Ke$ha releases her new single! She said it will be in time for summer, I believe.

I'm pretty sure that Gotye has that #1 in the bag for next week.
The latest LivePopBars chart shows WAY now at 0.45 compared to him.

I can't believe this could potentially sell 500k+ on a non-christmas week without it being a debut. Crazy.

Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS Not to constantly be stanning for Gotye but while Idol/Glee/SNL are giving Gotye a huge boost, this song became a massive digital hit (sold 311k last week) with virtually no promotion. Even if we include last week's performance on The Voice, it sold 244k the week before. That was pretty much all based on word of mouth/the video.

Gotye has also been in the top 10 for quite some time. Has it been featured on TV or a commercial since the beginning of the year or so? It always felt like a weird digital success to me that has VERY slowly translated into airplay and now the TV assault.

I'm not surprised that Gotye is dominating right now. With all the promo for the song this week (Glee, AI, and SNL) I fully expected it, and would only have been surprised if it HADN'T happened. What surprises me is HOW MUCH it is dominating right now. I never thought it would be outselling WAY by this much, this is pretty incredible.
Fame is a fickle mistress. One minute you're hot, and the next minute....You're at 0.45 compared to Gotye. ;)

Idol threw us a curveball, playing "We Are Young" at the beginning of last night's results show. Still, fun. is at .5 compared to Gotye. Even if they start closing the gap, SNL will keep him on top.
In other Idol bumps, Skylar Gray and Bruno Mars went top 100 after their songs were performed as well.

250. My Heart Will Go On - Céline Dion
This genuinely shocks me. I thought it would've at least been near the top 100 by now.

It is a 15 year old song on a 15 year old movie, the movie is out again but it is not the cutural phenonomenon that it once was

Train's "Drive By" appears to be surging back up on the eve of the release of their sixth album Tuesday.
Part of me groans seeing a lyrical crime on humanity from a band that has delivered numerous enjoyable songs achieve like this...........yet another part of me concedes this is simply a damn infectious pop song, with that kind of chorus I can almost envision doing a Russian doll dance to!
What a crisis my ears are in! ;)
