^Since "Stronger" is much higher in airplay, that could work in fun.'s favor. :) Thanks. That's what I figured but I wasn't sure. Oh well, if they don't get it this week, they are almost sure to get it next week so either outcome is fine. |

I'm still annoyed about Gnarls Barkley not hitting #1. It didn't deserve to hit #1. |

^Because it didn't have enough overall points to rank No. 1- you are correct. :) The track itself is one of the most acclaimed tracks of all time, so if you don't like it, you're probably in the minority. |

I think fun. has this in the bag. The bigger radio songs lose the most airplay when Billboard posts their totals. Unfortunately. I'd rather have Kelly get #1  |

Fun.-tastic! 'We Are Young' Tops Hot 100by Gary Trust, N.Y. | March 07, 2012 12:30 EST www.billboard.com/news#/news/fun-tastic-we-are-young-tops-hot-100-1006389352.storyFun. becomes the first rock band in more than a decade to send a debut Billboard Hot 100 hit to No. 1, as "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae, ascends 3-1. The song spends a third week atop the Digital Songs chart with 302,000 downloads sold (up 19%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. The track claims the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award, as it bounds 61-41 in its second week on Radio Songs (30 million, up 60%, according to Nielsen BDS). "Young" rises 3-2 on the Alternative Songs radio airplay chart and roars in as the top debut on Pop Songs (No. 24) and Adult Pop Songs (No. 33). With its coronation, fun. becomes the first multi-member rock band to conquer the Hot 100 with its first entry on the chart since Nickelback arrived with its four-week No. 1 "How You Remind Me" in December 2001/January 2002. The song went on to become Billboard's top title of 2002. (Electronic/alternative act Owl City ruled the Hot 100 with debut single "Fireflies" in 2009, but the name served as an alias for its only member, Adam Young). Until this week, no rock group had led at all since Coldplay topped the June 28, 2008, Hot 100 with "Viva La Vida." The ascension of "Young" also grants the 16-year-old Fueled By Ramen imprint its first Hot 100 No. 1. (The song is being promoted to radio by the Roadrunner Records label). Fueled By Ramen had previously risen as high as No. 2 with Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in 2007. Since Chevrolet's Sonic ad featuring "Young" aired during the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, "Young" has exploded at radio and retail. In the four full sales weeks following its massive TV exposure, the song has sold 1.1 million downloads, or 77% of its total (1.5 million) dating to its September digital release. Adding to the song's profile, the "Glee" cast's cover of "Young" has sold 360,000 downloads since the Fox TV troupe performed the song on the series' Dec. 6 episode. "Young" pushes Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" down 1-2 after three non-consecutive weeks at the Hot 100's summit. "Stronger" slips 2-3 on Digital Songs (197,000, down 18%), although it pushes 3-2 on Radio Songs (116 million, up 7%). The song becomes Clarkson's fourth No. 1 on Adult Pop Songs (2-1). Adele's former two-week No. 1 "Set Fire to the Rain" drops 2-3 on the Hot 100, while the Wanted's "Glad You Came" rises 5-4. "Glad" climbs courtesy of a 3-2 advance on Digital Songs (206,000, up 10%) and a 22-17 jump on Radio Songs (55 million, up 23%). The boy band's debut single lifts 10-9 on Pop Songs. The Wanted's U.S. Debut Album Due April 24 After Katy Perry's "Part of Me" launched at No. 1 on the Hot 100 two weeks ago, the lead single from her "Teenage Dream" deluxe edition, "The Complete Confection" (due March 27), slides 4-5. On Digital Songs, "Part" descends 4-7 (142,000, down 55%). Airplay continues to build, however, as "Part" powers 19-14 on Radio Songs (58 million, up 16%). Nicki Minaj's "Starships" rockets 10-6 in its third week on the Hot 100 (after debuting at No. 9 two weeks ago). The track flies 7-4 on Digital Songs (161,000, up 4%) and 49-38 on Radio Songs (33 million, up 28%). Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free," featuring Bruno Mars, rises 9-7 on the Hot 100, leapfrogging David Guetta's "Turn Me On," featuring Minaj (8-8). Fun. isn't the only alternative act enjoying Hot 100 success on its first try, as Gotye (aka, Wally De Backer) soars 16-9 with "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra. The song, which has topped 15 surveys on Billboard's international charts menu, pushes 8-5 on Digital Songs (148,000, up 11%) and 56-50 on Radio Songs (26 million, up 15%). "Somebody" leads Alternative Songs for a third week. Rihanna's former 10-week No. 1 "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, rounds out the Hot 100's top 10, falling 6-10. Harris's first solo Hot 100 hit, "Feel So Close," meanwhile, jumps into the chart's top 40 (46-34). Check billboard.com tomorrow (March 8), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 in its entirety and the Digital Songs and Radio Songs charts, will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.

Congrats fun. on being the first rock group to have a #1 on the Hot 100 since Coldplay nearly 4 years ago! It's been TOO long.
Congrats also to Gotye on making the top 10. Could he have the second alternative/rock song to hit #1 this year?
Maybe.

Janelle Monae is awesome. I'm glad she has a #1 under her belt even if it's as a featured artist.

"WAY" is going to be HUGE. The airplay's starting to take off and it'll keep selling well. I'm glad that it hit #1 even though I wish Kelly could get another week on top.
Hopefully Gotye can hit #1 as well.

On the Hot 100? Not even close. SLY entered the top 10 four weeks after RITD left it.

Glad to see an alternative song do so well. I love how more and more music that has been released lately is challenging what can be popular and successful on the charts.

Awesome for Gotye!
Although We Are Young doesn't really interest me, I like something different hitting the top.
It's been a pretty good run of songs at #1 lately, aside from Katy coasting to a 1-week #1.

In regards to Kworb's accuracy: he placed the top 9 correctly. However had Take Care at #10 with We Found Love right below it.
