Just like anything else, if it proves to be a smash at radio then interest would increase, sales would increase and then you have a #1
So all is not lost ;)

The song IS pretty bad and by far the most derivative thing she's ever released, but I'd at least like to see it match the performance of "4 Minutes"

Rumor has it that Glee in two weeks is gonna give the current iTunes #1 a boost with a regionals performance.
Also, not a big deal compared to Glee or The Voice, but 97. Let Me Be Your Star (Smash).

Glee songs all in Spanish or partly in Spanish... will they sell well? Sexy and I Know It was looking to break the top 10 but half in Spanish? No way I would buy it. Guess we'll see.

The fact that it has not returned to #2 means glitch or no glitch, it wasn't going to stay there

What's behind "We Are Young"s rapid rise up the iTunes chart? It's currently #2 and gaining rather quickly on "Stronger."

What's behind "We Are Young"s rapid rise up the iTunes chart? It's currently #2 and gaining rather quickly on "Stronger." It was/is featured in some commercial. I don't get how commercials help songs. How are you supposed to know the song, especially if it's some unfamiliar song?

Maybe when they go on iTunes, and listen to the previews when they see the Top 10 songs, they go "ohhh I know that song." *Downloads*
Plus there's the Shazzam app.
And Googling only takes a couple seconds.

How do you find songs you hear but don't know?
I search for lyrics or Shazam, as ry4n said.
Being in a commercial is what turned songs like M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" and Dirty Vegas's "Days Go By" into big hits. People start hearing the song and tracking it down.

But Fun wasn't in the top 10 before the commercial

I've always wondered if Glee was say on a Thursday, how that would affect the Hot 100, as the sale of those songs would be split into the following tracking week.

^It probably wouldn't be any different, given how frontloaded Glee tracks are.

^^true, but some songs do linger and with more and more people watching the show later on with dvr's and such it would be interesting.
Regarding We Are Young, Glee performed the song before the Superbowl aired, not sure if that is helping the original at all, but obviously the commercial is.

Fueled by Ramen are genious label. I don't know how they do that: of all acts Gym Class Heroes have had several top 20 hits on Hot 100, Cobra Starship have two top 10 hits and now this Fun thing.
And none of them have had ANY success on albums chart.
Thrilled for Janelle Monáe.

Was "We Are Young" played during the Super Bowl or something? I must have missed it. Great for the track- I was pleased when it debuted following the usage on Glee, but this will far surpass that boost.
GMAYL is moving between 10 and 11 regularly now.

Given the response this song gets (twice!), I think radio should give this song a chance.

^Oh, thanks. In the comments, Chevrolet tells people they can download a copy of the song on "us." Not having that much of an impact on sales, apparently.

We won't ever know, but I think the glitch hurt it.

^The pop bars had declined a little before the glitch (had dropped back from 0.98 to 0.94 or so), so perhaps not all that much.
The remix is at 141.

I am now pretty confident Madge will have a hot 100 top ten. I didn't think it would climb back up this high.

^Whatever it loses in airplay, it's going to have to sell that much more than it did this past week. And then there's "We Are Young" that may jump it next week, if the sales are big enough. Or, do you mean top 10 in general/later on?
You were almost spot on with the initial debut prediction, br, so who knows. :)

The remix is at 141. #140 which is like 5% or so to be added to her current total. She might actually be #5 now. plus, just because a song is decreasing against another, doesn't mean it's sales are decreasing. It might have been that Kelly's sales were increasing at a more rapid rate. Just like now when Fun gains 3% on everybody, and yet GMAYL gains 1.5% on others. Doesn't that really mean she gained 5.5% on everybody, otherwise she would be decreasing some. It's all relative.
