This makes me very happy! Glad it's taking off at Urban, not happy that it's at the expense of Countdown though :(

[HolidayGuy]

SFTTR back to biggest gainer among the listed. :)

So, last week's MB Quick-Cut gap was 54.9m (with the BDS gap 58 million). This week's MB Quick-Cut difference is 39.93m- so, maybe the BDS difference will be 41.5m-42m. The sales difference last week was 53K.

Another close one...

[areyoureadytojump]

www.billboard.com/#/news/adele-s-21-biggest-no-1-album-since-bodyguard-1005977552.story

On the Digital Songs chart, David Guetta's "Turn Me On," featuring Nicki Minaj, blasts from No. 7 to No. 1, selling 198,000 downloads (up a whopping 44%). It's the first No. 1 on the Digital tally for either artist, and should bode well for the song's fortunes on the overall Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. (News on the latter list will be released later on Wednesday.)

Last week's No. 1, Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," slips to No. 2 with 185,000 (down 4%). Right behind her is a hard-charging Kelly Clarkson, which sees her "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" fly 11-3 with 175,000 sold (up 48%).

Tyga's "Rack City" falls one spot to No. 4 (148,000; down 11%), Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" slips 2-5 with 142,000 (down 21%) and Rihanna's "We Found Love" holds at No. 6 with 140,000 (up less than 1%). LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" slides three rungs to No. 7 (134,000; down 14%), Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free" drops three to No. 8 (134,000; down 11%) and Jessie J's "Domino" hits the top 10 for the first time, climbing 16-9 (122,000; up 25%). Closing out the top 10 is Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away," which returns to the top 10, rising 14-10 with 117,000 sold (up 9%). The latte benefits from an acoustic version of the song, which was released to digital retailers on Jan. 16.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 27.89 million downloads, down 2% compared to last week (28.56 million) and up 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (26.38 million). Year to date track sales are at 89.21 million, up 7% compared to the same total at this point last year (83.60 million).

[strikeleo]

So, the difference between Adele and Rihanna is less than 5 points, when using Mediabase. A few have said that Adele is lower on BDS points, so, I'm kind of thinking Rihanna may have a shot? Especially considering the latter has streams in her advantage.

[Verisimilitude]

Congrats to David Guetta AND Nicki Minaj. Talk about a powerhouse collaboration with incredible vocals.

[badrobot]

Man this is even closer than last week I think.

Any idea where Adele and Rihanna stand on streaming?

I'm a little nervous that if this neck-and-neck race between them continues that Kelly or Guetta may blast past the both of them before Adele gets a chance to hit #1.

So here's hoping Adele gets it this week!

[lynnal]

I think Adele is going to take it.

[Deleted]

#1/#2 - Set Fire to the Rain : 185 + 110 = 295
#1/#2 - We Found Love : 140 + 150 = 290
#3 - Good Feeling : 142 + 129 = 271
#4/#5 - Turn Me On : 198 + 52 = 250
#4/#5 - It Will Rain : ~105 + 140 = 245

I think WFL will get #1 and TMO will get #4.

[strikeleo]

Last week's difference:

1. RIHANNA - We Found Love f/Calvin Harris: 151.586 (+ 0.496)
5. ADELE - Set Fire To The Rain: 96.652 (+ 2.321) ▲

"Love" maintains its Hot 100 dominance by spending a ninth week atop Radio Songs (150 million audience impressions, down 1%, according to Nielsen BDS), while slipping 4-6 on Digital Songs (140,000 downloads sold, down 24%, according to Nielsen SoundScan).

"Love" holds off Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," which burns a path from No. 4 to No. 2 on the Hot 100 with top Airplay Gainer honors for a second consecutive week, as it crackles 12-5 on Radio Songs (92 million, up 26%).

So, if the difference stays the same, it's going to be even closer than we thought.

[NeRD]

Oh wow, this is super intense.

[Agent Yoncé]

I think Adele got this.

Well lookey here:

Adele's 'Fire' Burns Path to Hot 100 Summit

www.billboard.com/news#/news/adele-s-fire-burns-path-to-hot-100-summit-1005979752.story



Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" takes over atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, dethroning Rihanna's "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, after 10 weeks and making history in the process.

As Adele's set "21" leads the Billboard 200 album chart for a 17th week, "Fire" is the third single to top the Hot 100 while "21" has sat atop the album tally. First single "Rolling in the Deep" began a seven-week Hot 100 reign the week of May 21, 2011, when "21" was in its sixth week in charge of the Billboard 200.

Follow-up "Someone Like You" crowned the Hot 100 the week of Sept. 17, 2011. In the song's fifth and final week at No. 1 (Nov. 5), "21" returned to the Billboard 200 apex for a 13th frame.

With "21" at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 four another four weeks as of this week, "Fire" (Adele's third career Hot 100 topper) makes the set the first to have led the Billboard 200 concurrently with three Hot 100 No. 1s.

Adele's '21' - Biggest No. 1 Album Since 'Bodyguard'

In the 53 years that the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 have coexisted, 10 albums had topped the Billboard 200 at the same time that two of their singles dominated the Hot 100. Usher had last so doubled up, with "Yeah," featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, and "Burn" each commanding the Hot 100 in 2004 while parent album "Confessions" led the Billboard 200.

(The "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack was the first to manage the concurrent feat, heading up the Billboard 200 while the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" each reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1978).

The coronation of a third Hot 100 No. 1 in "Fire" as "21" continues to rack up weeks atop the Hot 100 reinforces the set's uncommon staying power. The strength of the album's singles has clearly been a factor in keeping "21" afloat atop the Billboard 200 for 17 (nonconsecutive) weeks, making the set the longest-running No. 1 album since the Whitney Houston-led soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" (20 weeks at No. 1) in 1992-93.

"Fire" reaches the Hot 100's top spot despite slipping 1-2 on the Digital Songs chart. The song sold 185,000 downloads (down 4%) in the list's tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. With its latest week of sales, it passes the 2-million mark in downloads sold.

On Radio Songs, "Fire" holds at No. 5, up 13% to 1.05 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. The gain grants the song top Airplay Gainer honors on the Hot 100 for a third consecutive week.

"Fire" douses the 10-week reign of Rihanna's "We Found Love" on the Hot 100. The cut slips to No. 2, although it spends a 10th frame at No. 1 on Radio Songs (150 million, down 1%). "Love" maintains both its rank (No. 6) and sales total (140,000) from last week on Digital Songs.

Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" holds at No. 3 on the Hot 100, bulleting at No. 3 on Radio Songs (125 million, up 4%) while dropping 2-5 on Digital Songs (142,000, down 13%). In a bittersweet turn of timing, the song keeps the voice of R&B legend Etta James at its Hot 100 peak to-date after her passing at 73 Friday (Jan. 20). (Today would have been James' 74th birthday). "Feeling" samples her 1962 song "Something's Got a Hold on Me."

R.I.P. Etta James: Celebrities Mourn on Twitter

David Guetta's "Turn Me On," featuring Nicki Minaj, bounds 10-4 on the Hot 100 with the chart's Digital Gainer award. The song blasts 7-1 on Digital Songs (198,000, up 44%), marking each artist's first No. 1 on the download chart. On Radio Songs, "Turn" charges 31-19 (48 million, up 23%). With his Hot 100 ascent, Guetta matches his best rank, first achieved with previous single "Without You," featuring Usher.

Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" rebounds 6-5 on the Hot 100, Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain" drops 4-6 and LMFAO's former two-week No. 1 "Sexy and I Know It" descends 5-7.

Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" roars into the Hot 100's top 10 (21-8) on the strength of an 11-3 vault on Digital Songs (175,000, up 48%) and a 71-44 flight on Radio Songs (29 million, up 73%). With "Mr. Know It All," the first single from her album "Stronger," having peaked at No. 10, Clarkson posts her first back-to-back Hot 100 top 10s (excluding last month's "I'll Be Home for Christmas," which was not actively promoted to radio) since the first four singles from her album "Breakaway" hit the top tier consecutively in 2004-05.

Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as in Paris" falls 7-9 on the Hot 100, while Jessie J celebrates her first top 10 with "Domino" (15-10). While the latter song is the British singer's maiden Hot 100 top 10, it's the 36th and 29th, respectively, for co-authors Max Martin and Dr. Luke as writers.

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! It's about time that hideous song is not #1 anymore

How is Adele above her in streaming when she doesn't even have a video?

Those are round figures so maybe Adele edged out WFL by decimal points

Definitely was a close week.

[SWEET DREAMS]

Adele you better set fire to their faves.

So happy its #1, well deserved!!!!

[#LisaRinna]

Two of her #1 hits have been my favorite songs on the album

Also happy for Kelly getting another top 10 hit. I hope 'Stronger' eventually hits #1.

[moore746]

Congratulations to Riri on an AMAZING run in the top slot!! Safe to say WFL is the song to beat for the 2012 year-end #1.

Same, although I worry that by the time Stronger has just enough strength to get that #1, BOOM, Grammys.

We can only hope this isn't Since U Been Gone part 2.

1 strong hit will do it

Although yes, right now, this song is the leader.

Of the 10 week run at #1 only 7 will count towards 2012, the firsl 3 will fall in 2011. For the purposes of the Year end Hot 100

[Deleted]

Yay!!! Congrats Adele :) 3rd #1 in a row, who would have thought! Also very happy that Stronger jumps into the top 10! Top 5 next week?

And very happy to see Jessie J in the top 10 with Domino! Took a while for that song to catch on, but I'm glad it did :)

YAYYYYYY! Domino cracked the Top 10!!!! Congrats to Jessie J and Kelly!!!
