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. I don't really like the livepopbars.com method either, using the genre charts to try and recover more detail. I programmed both methods and decided I prefer the one currently on my site, even though it's still a mess. But mine are closer to the "real" numbers, especially for the lower half of the chart. I'm working on an algorithm that combines both methods, but I don't know if I'll be able to get it to work properly. It's difficult to estimate when you have so few data points to work with. The only thing that would not be confusing at this point is to just keep the 0.05 numbers as is, but those are even more useless to me. I wish iTunes would just change back to how it was.

If livepopbars.com is mixing different information, then I don't like their numbers either. I'd rather simply have the raw information, even if it's just 0.05 steps. But I'm too lazy and dumb to do it myself, so I'll have to make do with whatever you guys put out. Thanks for all your work.

"Payphone" hit iTunes around midnight time? Still at No. 2- but that's quite a fast rise. I guess that's the power of The Voice- wonder if it would have rose as fast without it.

#17 Linkin Park - Burn It Down
Quite good start if you ask me. Of course, they have strong following and fanbase.

I haven't heard the studio version, but I did catch the live performance on The Voice. I think it's catchy enough that it would've caught on pretty quickly anyway. But that kind of exposure has to have a big effect.

1 Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know (feat. Kimbra) 1.0000 2 Maroon 5 - Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa) 0.6500 3 Fun. - We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe) 0.5000 4 One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 0.4625 5 Justin Bieber - Boyfriend 0.4375
I don't think Payphone will pass Gotye (though that would be pretty epic if it did...). Once again, an all male (not counting features) top 5.

WAY stuck at .5 but Payphone is up to .85. Could this overtake STIUTK or will it slow down?

"Payphone" is at #1
Also the all male top 5 was short-lived. Carly Rae Jepsen is at #4 with CMM.

I suppose we'll have to wait and see how the rest of the week unfolds to get a clue as to where Maroon 5's latest will debut.
It's important to keep in mind that "Moves Like Jagger" charged out of the gate, but then temporarily slipped rather quickly before catching a second wind weeks later. "Payphone" could very well follow suit, so we should tread warily before succumbing to the hype of selling 400K or more in its opening week.
Needless to say, Maroon 5 are clearly a rejuvenated Top 40 act and have a lot of momentum on their side they were starting to lose at one point during the tail end of the "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" cycle.
Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

These made-for-radio Benny Blanco hits they're churning out will guarantee them that...but not longevity as a beloved musical act. I'm disappointed that they abandoned the pop funk sound that made them so distinctive. This new song could be sung by anyone.

It was really smart to capitalize on Moves Like Jagger and release a new single now though. Unlike one of their fellow The Voice judges who flopped much harder with her last album...

Burn It Down is #10 on itunes now!
This means that there are three alternative songs in the top 10 and Call Me Maybe is the only song in the top 10 with a lead female artist!

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 I wasn't expecting it go to #1, but, come on, it's got to shock you the song did not re-enter (or I guess enter) the top 100 on iTunes. It's not like the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic went completely unnoticed. I figured it it would've gotten somewhere in the lower 70s. Burn It Down is #10 on itunes now! This means that there are three alternative songs in the top 10 and Call Me Maybe is the only song in the top 10 with a lead female artist! Someone needs to take a snapshot of this! I doubt we'll ever see this kind of phenomenon again! Only four females in the top 10. Three are just features. There's like 30 males in the top 10 right now, right? Jesus! :o I mean, just think about what's in the top ten right now: a pop/rock band and rap singer collaboration, three alternative rock acts, two boy bands, a teen heart throb, a Canadian singer with a pure pop song, a rap song with a Australian singer, and Train! So unusual.

Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS Moves Like Jagger charged out of the gate as a new itunes release and fell fast like all fast-selling new releases do. This one will to, until radio and streaming catch up with it

3 females features and the only lead female is there because of a male. Basically 100% male.

Whether this is a temporary or permanent shift in musical trends, it has been known to happen. Popular musical styles do tend to shift every so often.

I feel that it's more of timing than a shift in musical trend. Female artists like Beyonce, Britney, and Gaga have essentially ended on their eras. Others like Adele and Katy are far into their eras so their digital numbers aren't expected to be as huge since many people who would've bought the single already have the album.
Notice that a lot of the acts in the top 10 are newer acts, who are just having their breakthrough, or are starting a new era. It's just a coincidence that a lot of these acts happen to be male imo.

Wild Ones' hold is quite impressive, it won't top the chart but at least it's consistent and may have longevity. Who knew Flo Rida will escape the one hit wonder status? Sure his album sales suck but he still manages to get a hit or two every single time

Well, looks like iTunes won't be as good a predictor of The Voice's overall results as last season. The #1 and #3 singers this week both got booted.

If Maroon 5 keeps this hold, it could sell an insane amount of downloads this week. I guess we'll find out today, but fun. was at number 1 with 390k..then Gotye passed him in doubling in popularity. I'm sure fun. went down a bit from no longer having the #1 exposure, but it's probably still selling A LOT. Now Gotye still has that lead over fun...but Maroon 5 is selling considerably more than Gotye.

Just wait and see, Xtina is preparing her comeback right now, she doesn't need to rush-release a single just to get a hit with The Voice hype ;)

Do sales of the Tiesto remix for "Somebody That I Used To Know" get added to Gotye's for Hot 100? It's up to #28.

Boyfriend is climbing again and with both airplay and On Demand streaming on the rise, Bieber has a legit chance to hit #1 on the Hot 100
