I know...I can't believe people are STILL trying to make excuses for Beyonce's '4' era. It's done...ppl get over it.

No one is making excuses because there is simply no need for excuses.
This "excuses" thing you all like to throw out was cute last summer, but not now. Facts speak for themselves.

Hahahaha...hilarious. So the comments that I responded to were facts ???
Ok, if you say so.
Maybe for Bey stans it is cuter to still wonder what her team's plan were for this era when it is almost over...

But to remain on topic, I can't wait to see how close the top 4 are going to be this week Katy, Whitney, Adele, Kelly. Nice.

[ListenToItTwice]

FUN. - We Are Young f/Janelle Monae: 9.713 (+ 0.790)

okay now that's the kind of gain that makes more sense for this song.

I'm getting ahead of myself, but I really hope that "All Alright" is the next single.

[HolidayGuy]

So what are predictions for the top 10 this week?

These six tracks look like the certainties:

Part of Me
Stronger
I Will Always Love You
Set Fire to the Rain
We Are Young
We Found Love
Rolling in the Deep

Jockeying for position in the top 10:
Sexy and I Know It
Good Feeling
Rack City
Turn Me On
Someone Like You
Turn Up the Music
Starships

Other strong performers include "Young Wild and Free," "Domino" and "International Love." That One Direction track doesn't look like it has the airplay to be in contention for top 10. Three of the above will fall short of the top 10. These part two chart weeks probably have been the most exciting in some time.

[KeepDeanWeird]

Great list and you're right - it's going to be exciting. ^ What about Rolling in the Deep? It had boffo sales and it's recurrent airplay has to be higher than some of the entries like TUTM and Starships? Does Adele get 3 top 10s?

[moore746]

I have to think Rolling In The Deep in a contender for top 10. It will probably land around #3-4 in sales (I think it was #1 on Amazon MP3 all last week).

[neverduplicated]

The top of the chart will probably be...

1 - Part of Me
2 - Set Fire to the Rain
3/4/5 - I Will Always Love You/RITD/Stronger
6/7 - We Are Young/We Found Love

I think it'll be like you said. I also think Turn Up the Music and Starships could be top 10. And maybe Someone Like You could close it.

[HolidayGuy]

Oops- forgot about RITD. I added it to the "certainties." Some tracks are gonna get shut out of the top 10, that in an average week, would make it.

denverd- RITD is still on the chart, so what'chu talkin' about recurrent? (it is recurrent on the spins-based charts, I know)

Yep, if that were true so much money would not have been dumped into the RTW video, premiered it on AI and high profile performances for it would not have been planned. They wanted that traditional lead smash and when they didn't get it they immediately went to BINH for damage control. I doubt they expected to push all of these singles everywhere.

I know...I can't believe people are STILL trying to make excuses for Beyonce's '4' era. It's done...ppl get over it.

RTW was another female anthem dance track. It was not a risk like some of her stans try to make people believe. The expectations were high. Fans were already claiming she would snatch wigs and her team was hyping up the era. For some reason, it didn't work out with pop. It happens... Of course urban/urban ac radio will play it regardless. She still sold over 1M and showed that she has an established fanbase that isn't based on #1's. No way would they want her dropping videos practically every month when her first 3 albums had more hits then misses without having to use that approach. I don't know if it was a combination of overexposure or Matthew Knowles getting fired pulling out but she should definitely take this era as a lessons learned for the future.

No one sells over a million off of a solid fanbase alone these days. It's done as well as it has thanks to a string of Urban hits. Pop radio is not the end all be all.

I meant on the spins-based charts and on that we don't see it on airplay charts we get each morning.

[brucelover]

I'm so happy that Calvin Harris song is taking off, that's the kind of quality commercial music that should smash everywhere.

Don't get why radio is not jumping on Gotye...it's doing great on iTunes and is really catchy. Same with I Won't Give Up.

Sad to see Madonna not increasing at all in airplay but at least she got that Top 10 hit.

Random, but since I have too much spare time, I'm going to test the accuracy of this site by recording the supposed sales numbers at 12 am EST every night for the rest of this week and add it up after Sunday night and then compare it to what BillBoard says on Wednesday. I'll post the results, too.

[Rodze]

I thought of doing that, but I wanted to make it automatically. The thing is that site only gets data from iTunes and we'd have only the iTunes exclusive tracks to compare to (emphasis on "tracks"). We probably won't find any meaningful correlation between overall Digital Songs and that site's numbers.

Oh yeah, that's true. I'm going to try it anyway though because I'm curious

Talk that Talk went for adds last week

[HolidayGuy]

spoilt- "Feedback" peaked at No. 19 on the Hot 100. I don't think I'd compare GMAYL to "Feedback," except that they're both going to have short runs in the top 40 (two weeks for "Feedback," perhaps 3-4 for GMAYL if it doesn't drop from the top 40 this week). Madonna has struggled with airplay for some time, yet has managed to score top 10 hits on the Hot 100. Janet's airplay woes started a whole back, too, but top 10 has eluded her since "Someone to Call My Lover." She did not score a top 20 from two consecutive albums, and then "Feedback" got there for a hot minute. If Madonna fails to land another top 10 with her next album, then perhaps we can make observations about the streak.

The loss for "Part of Me" is very close to the 7m I guesstimated.

With Whitney laid to rest, airplay levels for her tracks have begun their descent.

You can see some of the past Grammy bumps there too -- Cee-Lo & Dre (and did Justin Bieber perform live then?), and then Justin and the Dixie Chicks.

I remember thinking Justin Timberlake really lucked out with the timing of the Grammys and his performance -- I highly doubt that would've been a #1 otherwise.
