Billboard Hot 100: 07/14/12

[josh]

At least, not any time soon. Urban will barely stand within 100 feet of a pop song, and urban songs barely scrape the top 20 on pop, if they even get that far.

Whereas at that time Urban and Pop were very similar. I don't see anything getting that huge until a similar situation occurs.

It's possible..I literally remember that song being played at the same time on 3 different stations...Truly a MONSTER airplay hit of all time.

Same. One time I heard it on Q100 (CHR), V103 (Urban), 95.5 (Rhythmic), Star 94 (HAC), and 104.7 (Urban AC) at the SAME time. No joke.

I dont think any other song will cross as many barriers as that.

Aww I miss my stations

Preach!

Some fans had the same experience in NY at the time. Played on like 5 stations of different formats all at once. MONSTER. :'( :'(

Only the Legendary Mariah Carey could. :'(

[josh]

What if she brings radio formats together again with her new album? :O

Prediction time!

1. Call Me Maybe
2. Payphone
3. Somebody That I Used to Know
4. Wide Awake
5. Lights
6. Where Have You Been
7. Titanium
8. Scream
9. We Are Young
10. Good Time

Idk lol. 1-4 seem very likely. Lights and WHYB should be 5 and 6, just not sure of the order. Titanium has seen some good airplay gains, and made it into the top 10 on iTunes so I'm predicting a nice jump ahead of Usher, who has also had good airplay gains. Rounding out the top 10 I guess WAY should fall the least and hoping for a top 10 debut for Good Time. BOB sold 143,000 and made #18. This should sell around 200,000 and have 15 million AI or so, maybe even a decent amount of streaming, so it should definitely debut top 15, maybe even top 10.

My (probably completely wrong predictions, without even seeing tomorrow's airplay updates. )

[SPRΞΞ]

Good Time is not even in the top 50 of streaming according to Spotify. That is a huge chunk of the formula.

I hate that iTunes counts it as a return. I didn't delete my old download and get a new copy. It's still the same file. Nothing was changed. So it really makes no sense why iTunes does that.

It makes perfect sense to me.

I remember reading that digital retailers get a certain amount of digital "shipments". If you pay for an album, the song belongs the album, even through the "complete my album" feature. Which means they can resell the extra standalone mp3 that you "returned". If they didn't do that, they wouldn't be able to resell the song, (even though it's digital and not physical).

If you've ever worked retail, think of it as returning one product to exchange it for a bigger product.

If my explanation is confusing, I'm sorry! But it does make sense.

But that's what spins are for.

I think estimating how many different people hear a song in a week is a better judge of how big a song is.

There would be absolutely no accurate way to do that though. One person can listen to the same song through their car radio, home stereo, home/work/school computer and whoever tracking wouldn't possibly be able to pinpoint if it's the same person or not.

[dlostfan]

Predictions:

Rank-Song-Sales-Airplay-Streaming

1 - Call Me Maybe - 240k - 131M - 1200k
2 - Payphone - 210k - 136M - 1000k
3 - Somebody That I Used to Know - 160k - 132M - 900k
4 - Wide Awake - 225k - 74M - 800k
5 - Lights - 160k - 66M - 800k
6 - Where Have You Been - 120k - 114M - 550k

5-6 is going to be really really close and will depend on streaming.

[SPRΞΞ]

on Spotify:

#6 Wide Awake (up from #12) - Highest streaming gainer?
#13 Lights (up from #16)
#21 Where Have You Been (up from #24)

i'm hoping Wide Awake can push its way to #3 this week.

Well this week will be difficult, since it will need to have significantly better streaming than STIUTK.

Next week it has got it locked though.

[NeRD]

Yeah, it looks like Lights may take the #4 spot this week, then WHYB will more than likely move back to #4 and get stuck again after it passes SIUTK in airplay and streaming.

Thats probably as high as its gonna get unless they do something about those crappy sales.

[hitseeker.]

WOW! Go, Lights! :O

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

Surely Starships will Still Be top 10.

Its been around 11 Combined on Itunes all Week and Is Still #6 on Radio and #8 on Spotify

Long-Distance 'Call': Carly Rae Jepsen Still Atop Hot 100

by Gary Trust, N.Y. | July 04, 2012 11:00 EDT

The singer also claims the chart's top debut. Plus, David Guetta and Sia reach the top 10 and Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa crown Radio Songs.

Carly Rae Jepsen rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth week with "Call Me Maybe," while the singer concurrently scores the chart's highest new entry. David Guetta's "Titanium," featuring Sia, meanwhile, reaches the top 10 and Maroon 5's "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, tops the Radio Songs survey.

"Maybe" sustains its Hot 100 command as it leads the Digital Songs chart for a seventh week (251,000 downloads sold, down 5%, according to Nielsen SoundScan). With the sum, the song passes 4 million sold to-date. "Maybe" dips 2-3, however, on Radio Songs (131 million all-format audience impressions, up 1%, according to Nielsen BDS) and 1-2 after three weeks atop On-Demand Songs (898,000 on-demand streams, down 22%, according to BDS).

Jepsen adds the Hot 100's top debut to her haul this week, as her second entry on the list, "Good Time," a duet with Owl City, bounds in at No. 18. The track storms Digital Songs at No. 6 with opening-week sales of 140,000. The collaboration just misses the 75-position Radio Songs chart, having registered 14 million in audience (up 282%) following its first full week at radio.

"Good Time" marks Owl City's first Hot 100 appearance since 2010. The one-man act (Adam Young) topped the tally for two weeks in November 2009 with debut single "Fireflies."

Another notable feat for Jepsen: as she's a former contestant on "Canadian Idol," having placed third in the series' fifth season in 2007, "Maybe" has now spent more time at No. 1 on the Hot 100 than any single by any "American Idol" finalist. With a fourth week on top, the song passes Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" (three weeks at No. 1 earlier this year) as the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 by an "American" or "Canadian" "Idol."

Below "Maybe," Maroon 5's "Payphone" holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, fueled by jumps to No. 1 on Radio Songs and On-Demand Songs. The cut lifts 3-1 on the former chart with a 3% gain to 133 million, marking Maroon 5's second Radio Songs leader. Its last entry, "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, led for seven weeks. (Thus, after waiting more than eight years for its first Radio Songs topper, dating to the arrival of debut entry "Harder to Breathe" in 2003, the group rules again just more than eight months later.) "Payphone" is Khalifa's first Radio Songs No. 1.

"Payphone" likewise charges 3-1 on On-Demand Songs (933,000, up 1%). It holds at No. 3 on Digital Songs (186,000, down 15%). Its latest sales frame ups its total past 3 million sold since its release.

The Nos. 3-8 songs on the Hot 100 also remain static from last week, led by Gotye's former eight-week No. 1 "Somebody That I Used to Know," featuring Kimbra, at No. 3. Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" freezes at No. 4, followed by Rihanna's "Where Have You Been" (No. 5), the chart's top Airplay Gainer (110 million, up 15%), and Ellie Goulding's "Lights" (No. 6). Fun.'s former six-week No. 1 "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae, is a non-mover at No. 7 and Nicki Minaj's "Starships" holds at No. 8.

David Guetta boasts the Hot 100's lone new top 10 entry, as "Titanium," featuring Sia, jumps 12-9. The track makes twin 17-13 advances on Radio Songs (48 million, up 11%) and On-Demand Songs (434,000, up 1%), while descending 6-7 on Digital Songs (125,000, down 1%).

"Titanium" marks Guetta's fifth Hot 100 top 10 and the third from his album "Nothing But the Beat." "Without You," featuring Usher, and "Turn Me On," featuring Minaj, each reached No. 4. The DJ becomes the first male artist signed to Capitol Records to notch three top 10s from an album since M.C. Hammer scored a trio of top 10s from "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em," which led the Billboard 200 for 21 weeks, in 1990: "U Can't Touch This" (No. 8), "Have You Seen Her" (No. 4) and "Pray" (No. 2).

For Sia, 2012 has seen the singer rise from niche singer/songwriter, perhaps best known from her song "Breathe Me" accompanying the touching closing sequence of the finale of HBO's "Six Feet Under" in 2005, to go-to pop vocalist. The Australian (nee, Sia Furler) reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 in May as featured on Flo Rida's "Wild Ones."

Flo Rida, meanwhile, nets this week's top Digital Gainer award, as his follow-up single "Whistle" vaults 58-20 on the Hot 100. It jumps 32-8 on Digital Songs with a 115% gain to 113,000. The rapper released parent album "Wild Ones" yesterday (July 3).

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Usher's "Scream" holds at No. 10 for a second week.

Check billboard.com tomorrow (July 5), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 and On-Demand Songs in their entirety and Digital Songs and Radio Songs, will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.

9 of the top 10 songs are non-movers.

[nivekwriter1]

Wow, go Ellie Goulding and P!nk.

[josh]

So I got 4 right, 5 in the top 10 but wrong spot, and 1 way wrong. I figured Good Time sold more than it did.

M5's sales may cause them to stay at #2. Let's also see how close they'll get to 200mill AI

[Living Legend]

This is Carly's 7th week at #1 on Digital Songs. She is now 2nd place among solo female tracks with most weeks at #1. Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" is ahead with 9 weeks at #1 in 2005.

[NeRD]

Idk...this week was probably Payphone's best chance to go #1. Unfortunately, it looks like it may have to settle for a #2 peak...which is still great of course.
