Yay! Passed 30 mil already <3

[HolidayGuy]

"We Are Never Ever..." does have Dan Huff as a co-producer, to add a slight country feel to it. :) Wonder if the label release the country version to iTunes.

Deadly ninth day update tomorrow.

[Honeymoon]

Hopefully it re-bounds the following day though. I have faith that this will be a logn term hit unlike a few songs that received a similar deal

[mateuszr]

I tried to estimate Top5 of digital sales. I used iTunes pop bars and last week sales data.

1. Taylor Swift, "Never Ever" (650,000)
2. Flo Rida, "Whistle" (210,000)
3. Fun., "Some Nights" (190,000)
4. Maroon 5, "One More Night" (170,000)
5. Phillip Phillips, "Home" (140,000)

"Never Ever" 650k ??? It must be a mistake But it is Hot100 #1 for sure.

[Agent Yoncé]

C'mon Alex w/that sleeper hit.

#4,5,6: where have you been somebody that I used to know. call me maybe.

#10,11,12: give your heart a break. blow me whistle.

#14,15,16,17: scream mercy over what makes you beautiful.

Eh. Bored.

[popstop]

LOL, I guess I posted that country observation and didn't stick around for the responses. As far as Inside Your Heaven, it wasn't really embraced by country radio, but Billboard did have it as country single of the year or something. She hadn't established herself as a country artist quite yet (which she did with her subsequent single), which is the main reason I'm not so sure about that one. However, Taylor is very established with country and despite the pop orientation of her latest single/album, I think country is still happy to claim her as one of them. This single is being played at country stations (albeit with a special mix). I'm standing by my claim that this week coming up is a rare week at #1 for a country artist.

Hehe, until you posted this I hadn't noticed that Blow Me and Whistle were next to each other on that list.

[kingofpain]

Hurricane Chris? This was only five years and I don't even remember that "top 10" smash?

[jebsib]

kingofpain, this was the time period that several rap-hit-wonders hit the top 10, and were really never heard from again. Even at the time, they felt fleeting, as if they *just* missed the rhythmic tsunami of the early 2000's. Other than Hurricane Chris, I can count Unk, Rich Boy, Huey, Jim Jones, Jibbs, and Young Dro among these number.

[Agent Yoncé]

^ & I remember all of those songs too. Funny memories. Lol

[Deleted]

^I loved all of those and still jam to them when I'm in that mood.

Oh.

[jasontoralba]

a sure shot on #1 of hot 100

[Acid Eyes]

Historians - is this the longest title to ever hit #1?

[Deleted]

On the Hot 100? Nope. That would be "Medley: Intro Venus / Sugar Sugar / No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want To Know A Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going To Lose That Girl / Stars On 45" by Stars On 45.

These are all post-1990.

[Chris Ng]

Probably a huge drop for Taylor tomorrow. -40 million may be ?

[areyoureadytojump]

Taylor sells 623k.

Most ever for a female.

2nd overall. Flo Rida still #1.

Billboard.com article:

www.billboard.com/news/official-taylor-swift-s-never-song-sells-1007869952.story?utm_source=most_recent#/news/official-taylor-swift-s-never-song-sells-1007869952.story?utm_source=most_recent

Official: Taylor Swift's 'Never' Song Sells 623,000; Sets Female Digital Record
by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | August 21, 2012

It's official: Taylor Swift has set the record for the biggest digital sales week ever for a song by a woman. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" sold 623,000 in the week ending Aug. 19 -- according to Nielsen SoundScan -- and it thus debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Digital Songs chart.

Not only is it the best week ever for a woman, but the second-largest ever overall. Only Flo Rida's "Right Round" has sold more in a week, when it debuted at No. 1 with 636,000 on the Digital Songs chart dated Feb. 28, 2009.

The previous high-water mark among female acts was Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which moved 610,000 on the chart dated Jan. 9, 2010 (reflecting the busy post-Christmas week of 2009). Swift also nets the largest debut week among women, shattering the 448,000-unit start that was logged by Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (Feb. 26, 2011). ("Born This Way" racked up that figure after only three days on sale -- it bowed Friday, Feb. 11, 2011 and the SoundScan tracking week ends on Sunday of each week. Swift's song starts with a little over six days' worth of sales.)

As for Swift herself, her best previous sales week was racked by "Love Story," which sold 360,000 over Christmas 2008 (Digital Songs chart dated Jan. 10, 2009). Her highest debut week came with "Today Was a Fairytale," which sold 325,000 on the Feb. 6, 2010 chart.

Here is a look at the 10 top overall digital sales weeks, since SoundScan began tracking digital sales:

Sales, Title, Artist, Billboard Chart Date
636,000, "Right Round," Flo Rida, Feb. 28, 2009
623,000, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," Taylor Swift, Sept. 1, 2012
610,000, "TiK ToK," Ke$ha, Jan. 9, 2010
559,000, "Grenade," Bruno Mars, Jan. 8, 2011
542,000, "Somebody That I Used To Know," Gotye featuring Kimbra, April 28, 2012
521,000, "Boyfriend," Justin Bieber, April 14, 2012
509,000, "Born This Way," Lady Gaga, March 5, 2011
509,000, "Firework," Katy Perry, Jan. 8, 2011
493,000, "Payphone," Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa, May 5, 2012
467,000, "Low," Flo Rida, Jan. 12, 2008

As noted above, four of the top 10 largest weeks have been registered in 2012: Swift, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," and the debuts of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" and Maroon 5's "Payphone."

Swift's new single is the lead track from her upcoming fourth studio album, "Red," due out Oct. 22 on Big Machine Records. The song already crashed onto a number of Billboard's airplay charts this past Monday, debuting within the top 20 on the Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, Country Songs and Adult Contemporary charts.

It's expected that tomorrow, on the all-format Billboard Hot 100 chart, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" will make a huge jump up the tally. It debuted last week at No. 72 owed to airplay only.

[Agent Yoncé]

That's wussup.

[Deleted]

623*1 + 1.5*55 + .1*0 ~700 chart points for T-Swizzledizzle
200*1 + 1.5*90 + .1*750 ~410 chart points for Flo-Rizzledizzle

Clearly, #1 for this week.

NEXT WEEK:
350*1 + 1.5*80 + .1*0 ~470 chart points for T-Swizzledizzle
200*1 + 1.5*110 + .1*750 ~440 chart points for Flo-Rizzledizzle

Looks as if she's pretty clear for next week too.

All Hail Queen Taylor

[fridayteenage]

As noted above, four of the top 10 largest weeks have been registered in 2012: Swift, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," and the debuts of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" and Maroon 5's "Payphone."

And that's 4 of the T6 non-Xmas sales weeks. How huge will this year's Xmas sales be?

At the time of their releases, Mine had the #8 digital debut ever, and Today was a Fairytale had the #5 biggest.
