I find the Gotye song generic and boring and the Fun. song awesome and elevating the quality of the T10.
Also Starships is insanely catchy and I hope it becomes a Super Bass level hit.

In my opinion, both Starships and Turn Up the Music sound boring and generic. We Are Young doesn't appeal to me, though I love Somebody I Used to Know.

You might not like the Gotye song but you must not understand what "generic" means. That would imply it sounds like everything else out there, when it actually sounds completely different from what's out there (unless I've somehow missed the "sparse xylophone acoustic movement").
Anytime a song sounds like it came from a artist doing their thing without commercial stardom in mind, I find it pretty exciting, even if it's not my style.

"Somebody That I Used To Know" is pretty much the opposite of generic.
About fun., I don't see them having a huge era--not many of the songs are all that "radio-friendly" (i.e. "Some Nights," which is an excellent song, but I'm not sure if radio would pick up on it...unexpected hits like Adele and Gotye give me some hope, though) and a lot of the indie artists lately seem to be struggling with multiple singles, at least on Top 40. I wouldn't be surprised to see additional singles from Some Nights get Alt or AAA releases.

I guess we can start predicting where Underwood will land. She is flying up the iTunes chart but only has 3 days. Maybe she can squeeze into the top 10?

Oh and I can't help but laugh about the comments of too much Rihanna. I have been bitching and moaning about that for at least a year!!! It is definitely at its worst now but let's be honest, it has been really bad for a really long time. She has had a string of non stop singles and the features have been constant. Now she just has more features than ever before. I think she just lives in a studio and records all freaking day!

Omg it is?! I guess I...hate it now. yeah thanks brucelover... I'm really glad you told me. You've done a service to us all. And aww Live Fast Die Young I don't remember getting rid of my avatar (my settings have images turned off on this site anyway ). I would have imagined people on this forum were smart enough to know that one doesn't have to preface every post with "in my opinion", but I guess I misjudged some here.

Looks like another weird top 10 after last week, with Adele's two songs and Whitney dropping out, Katy dropping off fairly steeply, fun. dominating in sales but getting no airplay, another high debut with B.o.B, and a handful of the songs that dropped out last week bouncing back (although it looks like the bottom's dropped out completely on Flo Rida and Rihanna's sales). It's probably going to be LMFAO that comes back, because LMFAO. always. comes. back.
Anyway, if Kelly returns to #1 this week (which is looking more and more likely), that may make "Stronger" only the third song in history to rebound to the top from as low as #4. (In a single chart run, that is.) The only others I can think of are "That's the Way (I Like It)" by KC & the Sunshine Band and "Bleeding Love." Of course, this record owes itself pretty much entirely to the decision to reinclude "I Will Always Love You."

fun.'s airplay is increasing, so saying it has "no airplay" isn't quite accurate. :)
A note: While "Love You Like a Love Song" has had a lengthy Hot 100 run, and it's been on Hot Digital Songs during the full 35-week run, it's only been on Hot 100 Airplay for roughly half of that Hot 100 run (17 weeks). It sure took radio a long time to jump on that one.

1. ADELE - Set Fire To The Rain: 157.362 (+ 0.903)
Only 0.486 of its AI gain was from HAC/AC/POP/Rhythmic/Triple A/Alt, so some Urban or Urban AC stations must be spinning this (or possibly country?). Does anyone have any idea which stations might be spinning it?

Does anyone have any idea which stations might be spinning it? I'm convinced that there's just not a matchup between the format updates and the overall updates. I've noticed this with Taylor Swift songs mostly, in particular with "Ours." The song has 36m impressions overall, 30m of which is from country airplay. So where is the other 6m coming from? The song is nowhere to be found on the Hot AC chart (songs in the 40-50 range of Hot AC get less than 1m impressions) and nowhere to be found in the top 270 songs on pop radio and nowhere to be found in the top 50 of AC or any other formats. So where is that 6m coming from? Furthermore, the song gained 0.367m on country radio today, but gained 0.581m on all formats combined today. Where is that extra play coming from? So yeah, I do believe there is a discrepency between the individual format updates and the overall updates. I doubt SFTTR is getting urban play as it really isn't urban sounding at all (RITD did have a bit more of an R&B/soul vibe).

The updates posted here include all stations monitored by Mediabase. The genre charts include a subset of stations in that format ("published panel"), which almost always does not include every station monitored.
It's possible to check "all stations" for each format on All Access, and you'll see adding the airplay for each format that way results in a number much closer to the one posted here.

Has "Feel So Close" been released to iTunes yet?
I can't believe he might have a big hit with this song in America.

Bishes I never said Starships wasn't generic. I think it is in fact, which is why it was in another line of thought. It's like how when you were a kid you should have learned about the function of paragraphs.
But Starships is generic and awesome.

She has 6 songs on Airplay actually and 4 of them are growing up. Only You Da One it's falling faster and We Found Love it's falling so lower and it's still #2 on airplay. She has another 2 singles by Talk That Talk rising and 2 features rising, too. She's still pretty good.

fun. finally getting a real update. Radio may pick up on it after all. I heard it on the radio for the first time yesterday, The announcer said something like "Give us a call and tell us what you think!" as if there was some trepidation playing it.
