Rock Songs
*** No. 1 *** "Somebody That I Used To Know" Gotye Featuring Kimbra
Hot Shot Debut No. 49 "Happy Pills" Norah Jones

Funny to see these doing so well on Rock Songs. The Norah Jones album is definitely the one to watch, like I've said several times.

What's her biggest success on Rock Songs, anyone know?

[HolidayGuy]

Norah's track currently is No. 10 on Mediabase's Triple-A chart. So that's the catalyst behind the Rock Songs entry.

[Enigma.]

Ah, ok, thanks. So not much rock success there then.

[asg4]

why did the audience numbers go up like crazy from 158ish to 176ish

[Deleted]

6. KATY PERRY - Part Of Me: 99.215

Looks like another 100 + song for Katy :) Great update!

BEYONCE - Love On Top: 49.956 (+ 0.244)
Inch by inch...watch tommorow she'll lose a bunch of AI...

Mediabase re-adjusted their audience figures for each station on the panel

[HolidayGuy]

asg4- Mediabase reportedly reconfigured audience numbers for its stations- hence, the big jump that occurred several days ago.

spoilt- Jones' track isn't charting on any of the other rock-oriented charts. It's kinda like when "Someone Like You" cracked the top 30 on Rock Songs; I think that primarily was from its No. 2 peak on Triple-A.

What was the reason that Ashanti 'fell from grace' so fast? Usually someone that big sticks around as a big time player for at least 5 years.

I thought the use of Italics made it clear I was shading/mocking Ashanti...awkward that y'all think a Bey stan would call 'Shanti a legend

And Ashanti starting slipping in 2003, coincidence? ;)

DRAKE - Take Care f/Rihanna: 119.679 (- 0.169)

Didn't realize this was top 4...very happy as it's my favorite of the album :)

The Motto is also doing well. Drake's doing his thing.

+ Nobody cared anymore when r&b went out of fashion in 2005.

Also, she isn't that interesting as an artist tbh. Which is quite a shame because The Way That I Love You was one of her finest singles.

Who is Ashanti?

The only reason why I remember Ashanti is because my cousin named her daughter after her.

Most people use italics on Legend when they want to emphasize how much of a Legend someone is. It would have been easier to understand if you'd used apostrophes.

It was a parody of that..You people


Whateves, tell me when your faves have 3 top 10's and the longest debut single at #1...

Ashanti <3 Queen, Legend, Icon

With the way, We are Young is dominating digital sales and exploding at airplay, we could be in for a long one

I so did not mean to turn this into an Ashanti discussion
