Sales grow larger on the 26th usually. The 25th is just a slight uptick before the big increase.

^True, most kids will be with family on the 25th, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them use the gift cards first chance they get (ie. later that night) 8th week for Rihanna pretty much on lock: www.billboard.com/news#/news/michael-buble-s-christmas-hits-fourth-week-1005710752.storyOn the Digital Songs chart this week, LMFAO is a non-mover at No. 1 with "Sexy and I Know It" selling another 152,000 downloads (up 2%) while Rihanna's "We Found Love" also stays put at No. 2 (149,000; down less than 1%). Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" skips 5-3 (126,000; up 1%) and Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain" holds at No. 4 (nearly 126,000; down 3%). Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as In Paris" rises 7-5 (117,000; up 9%) and Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" remains at No. 6 for a second week (116,000; down 2%). Following Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" (17-7 with 100,000; up 75%), we find Big Sean's "Dance (A$$)" (featuring Nicki Minaj) jumping 11-8 with 89,000 (up 15%). Adele has a second song in the top 10, as "Someone Like You" rises 10-9 with just under 88,000 (up 4%), while T-Pain's "5 O'Clock" falls 9-10 with 87,000 (down 1%). Just outside the top 10, Ke$ha's "Sleazy" re-enters at No. 15 with 63,000 (up 5,639%) after a new remix of the track was released last week. The new version -- which is merged together with the original album cut for charting purposes -- boasts hip-hop stars Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and Andre 3000. The Digital Songs chart's highest debut is way down at No. 58, where Tim McGraw's "Better Than I Used to Be" enters with 24,000 (up 384%). Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.48 million downloads, up 4% compared to last week (21.69 million) and up 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2010 (21.18 million). Year to date track sales are at 1.19 billion, up 9% compared to the same total at this point last year (1.09 billion). |

That reminds me, with Rihannas airplay being 148 million, and her sales probably falling from the 149k she had last week, would We Found Love be the first #1 song to get more points from airplay than sales? Guess not. |

What about Rude Boy? I remember it was much stronger on airplay than sales. |

Rihanna's 'Love' Her Longest-Leading Hot 100 No. 1With an eighth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 for "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, Rihanna links her longest command of the list.
The song's reign bests the seven-week rules of two of her prior leaders: 2007's "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z, and last year's "Love the Way You Lie," on which she assisted Eminem.
"Found" also takes over as the longest-leading No. 1 on the Hot 100 this year (just beating the buzzer, as this week's Billboard charts are dated Dec. 31, 2011). The song had been tied with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" - the year's No. 1 Hot 100 song - for the chart's longest penthouse residence this year.
Here is a look at the titles to tally the most weeks atop the Hot 100 in 2011:
8 weeks: "We Found Love," Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris
7, "Rolling in the Deep," Adele
6, "Born This Way," Lady Gaga
6, "Party Rock Anthem," LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock
5, "E.T.," Katy Perry featuring Kanye West
5, "Someone Like You," Adele
The last song to top the Hot 100 for a longer span than "Found"? Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which began a nine-week domination in January 2010. (Read on for news on Ke$ha's latest Hot 100 appearance).
"Found" remains at No. 1 on the Hot 100 by logging a fifth week atop Radio Songs with 148 million all-format audience impressions (up 1%), according to Nielsen BDS. On Digital Songs, the track holds at No. 2 for a fourth frame, after five weeks at No. 1, with 149,000 downloads sold (down less than 1%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Below "Found" on the Hot 100, LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" racks a seventh week at No. 2. The song nets a third week at the Digital Songs summit (152,000 downloads sold, up 2%), while dipping 2-3 on Radio Songs (109 million, down 2%). While it still could command the Hot 100 going forward, "Sexy" has now spent the most time peaking at No. 2 since Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" (also seven weeks) in 2009-10.
Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain" remains at No. 3 on the Hot 100 for a fourth week, claiming Airplay Gainer honors for a third consecutive week as it jumps 4-2 on Radio Songs (111 million, up 16%). On Digital Songs, "Rain" remains at No. 4 (126,000, down 3%) after leading the list two weeks ago.
Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" rises 5-4 on the Hot 100, as its audience grows by 5% to 91 million and its digital sales gain by 1% to 126,000. The song trades places with Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away," which lifts 6-5 on Radio Songs (100 million, up 9%) and holds at No. 6 on Digital Songs (116,000, down 2%, despite its 69-cent sale pricing in the iTunes Store). The B.o.B-assisted remix of "One" was released to iTunes yesterday after arriving at radio last week.
Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as in Paris" bullets at No. 6 on the Hot 100 for a second week and Adele's former five-week No. 1 "Someone Like You" is likewise a non-mover at No. 7.
David Guetta's "Without You," featuring Usher, ascends 9-8 on the Hot 100, swapping spots with Maroon 5's former four-week leader "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera (8-9). T-Pain's "5 O'Clock," featuring Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen, rounds out the Hot 100's top 10 for a second week.
Just outside the survey's top tier, Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" bounds 21-13 as the Hot 100's Digital Gainer, roaring 17-7 on Digital Songs (100,000, up 75%). The latest single from "21" - Billboard's No. 1 album of 2011 - concurrently climbs 34-20 on Radio Songs (44 million, up 35%).
As teased above, Ke$ha returns to the Hot 100, as "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," featuring Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I. & Andre 3000, re-enters at No. 38. Originally a solo track on Ke$ha's mini-LP "Cannibal," released late last year, the song first spent a week at No. 51 on the Nov. 20, 2010, Hot 100. The new version blasts back onto the chart, and Digital Songs at No. 15, with 63,000 downloads sold.
Thanks to its quartet of superstar guest rappers, "Remix 2.0" could grant Ke$ha her first notable inroads at mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio, where early major market supporters for the song include KBFB Dallas, WUSL Philadelphia and WPGC Washington, D.C. (as the track also begins at pop radio). www.billboard.com/#/news/rihanna-s-love-her-longest-leading-hot-100-1005716152.story

Officially her biggest hit. The song is really resonating with a wide range of the public. Hope it can make 10 weeks.

^ Isn't this the fourth week that the top 3 has been stagnant?
Edit: Checked. Yes it is.

Crazy that if WFL wasn't released, SAIKI would be tied with RITD for most weeks at number one this year, and LMFAO would have more weeks at the top than Adele.

Gosh Top 5 has been so static for ages now. I wish SAIKI can somehow get a week at number one.

I think SAIKI just might take #1 with the gift card week bonus. Kind of that perfect Christmas/ New Years party song. The #1 might sell *just* 400k this time. However, getting a 30-40k lead over Rih will be pretty easy at those kind of sales levels.

Longest run at No. 1 makes it just that- RiRi's longest run. "Biggest hit" could be determined a number of other ways- most sales, most cumulative radio audience, week-to-week performance for each week on the Hot 100, etc. etc. It very well may end up having her best week-to-week chart performance, but it's not there yet.

Yes, especially since sales are so weak currently. Compare this to the seven weeks Adele spent at #1 selling 300k+ on most of the weeks.

^^ The post-holiday sales weeks may help that, but they may not. 2.4 million copies sold sounds pretty weak for an eight-week #1, but it has any kind of longevity, it should look a little better.

Yes, RITD will probably cross the 6mil mark early next year. As for WFL, I can see it going past 4mil eventually but not much higher than that. I think that's what Disturbia has sold. Though I think LTWYL is past 5mil? Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Incidentally, in terms of week-to-week Hot 100 performance, "Disturbia" is RiRi's biggest hit that features only her. She has a "featuring" credit on her two biggest hits in that regard, and her third-biggest hit features Jay-Z ("Umbrella").

Unit sales for Digital Tracks priced below $0.39 during their first three months of release will not be eligible for inclusion on Billboard's digital songs charts. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt this mean that over half of the songs in the itunes top 10 can be sold for free and still chart? |

Thank you ry4n. I didn't know that free songs didn't count on the chart. But couldn't a song out for more than three months be sold for a penny and still chart? This is what I meant in my post, but if I'm not mistaken $0.69 is the lowest price for songs on itunes, making the $0.39 rule somewhat useless...? |

Well other outlets may not have the same tiered pricing that iTunes, and iTunes could change their at any minute if they felt like it |

From a marketing standpoint, selling a major hit at 1 cent would just make no sense. Labels and retailers wouldn't be willing to lose that much money, I wouldn't think.
