Mediabase 7-Day-Rolling Quick-Cut-Airplay Info, 3/29/12-4/4/12

(Keep in mind that Mediabase numbers exceed BDS numbers by an even larger margin than before.)

Saturday's update will remove the big first-day airplay for "Dance Again," so if it sees another 3m gain, the negative may be 11m or so.

[Lozzy]

"Dance Again", not "Dance Tonight". ;)

Great updates today!

[HolidayGuy]

^LMAO- thank you. At least I didn't write OTF2.

[herb]

It seems that Fun may stay No.1 for next few more weeks.

[josh]

Won't tomorrow only be Dance Again's 7th day, since it covers today's (Thursday's) update?

[HolidayGuy]

^Fixed. :)

'We Are Young" indeed looks settled in for a lengthy run at the top.

[badrobot]

2 rando questions -- did "Set Fire to the Rain" ever get a video? And does "Rumour Has It" have one in the works?

I know songs have hit #1 before without a video but usually one is made eventually...

[Caviar]

@ MLJ sneaking n the top 20 again.

[HolidayGuy]

"Set Fire to the Rain" did not have a video proper- the live performance from her DVD served as the video. No plans for a RHI video, as far as I know.

[freezinggame]

Considering "Glad You Came" is going to replace "Stronger" this week, how many weeks was Kelly #1 on Pop Songs?

[HolidayGuy]

I believe this was the fourth week atop Pop Songs for "Stronger."

[Envoirment]

Carly should be bolded.

Adele has the 2nd largest update today, I wonder if it'll start seeing 3mil+ AI gains, like SFTTR & SLY had.

[HolidayGuy]

That's the second time I've overlooked the CRJ track. ha

The Mediabase numbers are larger now, so had SFTTR and SLY been charting with the numbers adjustments, the daily gains probably would have been in excess of 4m/5m.

[Lozzy]

How high do y'all think "We Are Young" will get to in terms of all-formats audience impressions? I'm thinking around 175 million.

[HolidayGuy]

^With Mediabase, who knows, with the higher audience totals now. It has 104 million BDS audience for the current chart.

[gracelessheart]

I know Adele-mania has been non-stop but I'm still pushing for Rumour to crush the competition. So glad to see those updates.

Fun looks unstoppable for a while though. But it's well-deserved.

And I am officially, completely in love with the Gotye song. I need to check out the album asap.

The album is outstanding even though there are definitely NO hooks that measure up to STIUTK.

I'm also hoping RHI becomes a beast.

Gotta say, I just don't get We Are Young.

Hmnm, it really depends on whether Rhythmic jump on board. It's coming to its peak on POP and has another ~10mil to grow on HAC. I'm guessing 160-165mil.

[Enigma.]

JUSTIN BIEBER - Boyfriend: 58.911 (+ 2.362)

Great update again!

[Living Legend]

Wow now that streaming has a much larger ratio than expected on the Hot 100 and it's steady in sales and airplay, "We Are Young" is probably gonna be at #1 for 10+weeks.

I think We Are Young is connecting so well, because it's walking the line between pop and alternative. It's got this EPIC chorus that people can easily attach to, because it feels triumphant and feel-good. Radio listeners seem to eat up feel-good, party-friendly songs.

On the other hand, it's kind of a slightly darker, more emotionally nuanced song, lyrically, than the chorus would have you believe. So I think fans of more sincere music and songwriting can appreciate that, as well as the fact that it doesn't quite fit the mold of what radio has been playing in recent years. It's different enough that non-pop fans can get into it. It's just a really balanced song that has crossover appeal.

I love that Boyfriend didn't even experience a negative rolling update. He will have a chance to make amends for that missed #1 soon.

But he did! Only one day, and not very much loss at all, though. As long as he doesn't hit a brick wall he definitely will have a #1 shot. I'm curious how high he will debut on the On Demand chart next week.

As long as it doesn't outdo mariah and nous to mean 16 weeks I'm goodwill. Also, I'm going to need for it to not block rihanna from having the number one song with we found love...it needs to be the top song for 2012

Ah, I missed that one somehow. You're right, it was just a small drop.

[NeRD]

Good to see Starships picking back up.

[HolidayGuy]

I gather there's still no plans to release the "Birthday Cake" remix to iTunes?

[ificanthaveyou]

Has Adele had a song in the top ten of the airplay chart since RITD?

[popstop]

There were a couple weeks in September when RITD had just fallen out of top 10 airplay and SLY wasn't there yet.
