It is, and has been proven time and time again with songs getting gains whenever they have price drops. People like to say that the price doesn't matter at the 1.29/.99/.69 range; but it actually does.

So they'd rather buy a cheaper karoake version? Only explanation I can find for these fake versions is that people just seach the song name and download whatever looks correct. There was a fake version of WFL that cracked the Top 40 of UK iTunes in the week before they released it over there.

I get a sale on the real version but buying the cheesy karaoke one instead...I guess people just see the song title and don't check the artist.

Especially since "Shots" is an old song.

It gets on my nerves after a while. A person can only stand Lil Jon for so long.

WOW I wonder where PRA will wind up on BB this week. Wherever it lands, a 28th week in the Hot 100 is certain. That'll leave "Party Rock Anthem" tied for the third-longest run of any single in the Top Ten to date. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

Crazy thing is that "Yeah!" was not a fresh single when Hot Digital Songs debuted in February 2005- it had peaked in 2004. And, obviously, neither was "Don't Stop Believin'" (but that benefited from use in various media and, I believe, has been in and out of the top 75 since 2005).

I'd say PRA's 29th week is almost guaranteed at this point as well. It's starting a new week at #2 on iTunes (one version) with a second version pushing its actual total well above #3 at this point.
And it's still getting a decent airplay boost.
While both will decline over this next week, I don't see it plummeting just yet.

Yeah! is still hot today. It sounds fresh and could easily fit on radio. It is a timeless jam without a doubt.

Good strategy for Mr. A-Z to release now when there's nothing else new out.

Nice for Mraz! I hope he can sell enough for a top 20 or even top 10 debut at the Hot 100

"I Won't Give Up" going to #1 reminds me of when "I Do" and "Fallin' For You" reached the upper positions of the chart when they were first released. I hope that this song stays at the top longer than those two songs did.

I didn't even know Jason Mraz was still relevant.

Anyone have a link to the top 1000 or top 500 songs on iTunes. I'm having issues. Thanks.
