Billboard.com:
Over on the Digital Songs chart, Taylor Swift tops the list for a fourth week, while also scoring the chart's highest debut at No. 2.
Her "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" stands tall at No. 1 with 284,000 (up 12%) while her charity single "Ronan" launches at No. 2 with 211,000. The latter was released on Friday, Sept. 7 following her performance on the multi-network TV benefit special "Stand Up to Cancer." The former likely gains thanks to her performance of the tune on the "MTV Video Music Awards" on Sept. 6.
With Swift at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously, she is the first act to hold the top two slots on the Digital Songs chart since Ke$ha did it on Jan. 23, 2010. She led that week with her debut single "Tik Tok" and bowed in the runner-up slot with "Blah Blah Blah" (featuring 3OH!3).
Maroon 5's "One More Night" is pushed backwards, despite a gain, falling 2-3 with 196,000 (up 2%). fun.'s "Some Nights" slips a spot to No. 4 with 159,000 (down 2%) and Flo Rida's "Whistle" drops 4-5 with 151,000 (down 7%).
Alex Clare's "Too Close" benefits from its use in Fox TV's "So You Think You Can Dance" last week, as it zooms 11-6 with 127,000 (up 50%). It's the song's best sales week yet, and brings its to-date total to 1.48 million.
Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" (featuring Big Sean) is a non-mover at No. 7 with 114,000 (down less than 1%) while Pink's "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" sizzles with a 37% increase (12-8 with 113,000). Pink, like Swift, performed her current single on the annual VMA broadcast.
Rounding out the top 10: Phillip Phillips' "Home" falls 6-9 with 111,000 (down 4%) and Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time" tumbles 5-10 with 108,000 (down 12%).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 23.25 million downloads, up 3% compared with last week (22.59 million) and up 9% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (21.26 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 939.56 million, up 6% compared with the same total at this point last year (889.59 million).

Wow, 211K for Ronan in less than two and a half days! "Home" officially becomes the best-selling "coronation single" from an Idol winner. It's over 1.5 million now and Time of My Life is at 1.459 million. Double platinum is next. Maybe then radio will really start playing it. |

It will be really close between OMN and Whistle for #2. I think OMN should just manage to sneak past Whistle.

I'm hoping Too Close makes it into the top ten.
I'm surprised it's barely been noted that Too Close is by far the most successful dubstep track yet (unless you count brief interludes on a song like Britney's few seconds of dubstep on "Hold It Against Me"). Or am I forgetting some other hit?

Radio is playing Phillips' track a lot more than some other Idol singles. The exposure/sales has helped it, though, no doubt.

Or am I forgetting some other hit? Going by Hot 100 peak, Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" is probably the highest charting dubstep single. I know he's not a dubstep artist, but ALAYLM is definitely in that style. |

what does a song have to have to be considered dubstep? Seriously. I've been trying to figure this out for two years. How would I recognize a dubstep song from an electro-pop song? And what about "Hold It Against Me" made it so vs. her two big follow-ups? |

Taylor Swift's 'Never' Is Hot 100's Longest-Leading Country Song Since 1980by Gary Trust, N.Y. | September 12, 2012 2:20 EDT 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' rebounds 2-1 for a third week on top, marking the longest command for a country song since Kenny Rogers' 'Lady' Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" reunites with the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, rebounding 2-1 for a third total week at the summit. With her return trip to No. 1, "Never" claims the longest rule atop the Hot 100 for a country song in almost 32 years. Not satisfied with her notable No. 1, Swift also posts the chart's highest debut, as charity single "Ronan" soars in at No. 16. The three weeks in charge for "Never" represent the longest Hot 100 reign for a country title since Kenny Rogers' "Lady" Led for six weeks, beginning Nov. 15, 1980. The smoldering ballad had already worked its way into chart headlines this year: the song was written by Lionel Richie, who led the Country Albums chart for four weeks beginning in April with "Tuskegee," a duets album of covers of his classic R&B hits featuring country acts. The set includes an update of "Lady," featuring Rogers. In addition to topping the Hot 100 for six frames, the original "Lady" led Country Songs for one week (Nov. 22, 1980). Not only does "Never" boast the longest Hot 100 domination for any country song since "Lady," but it also scores the longest such lead by a woman since Debby Boone arrived with her 10-week Hot 100 No. 1 "You Light Up My Life," which also rose to No. 4 on Country Songs, in 1977. Between "Lady" and "Never," just four country songs led the Hot 100: Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" (two weeks at No. 1, 1981); Rogers' "Islands in the Stream," with Parton (two, 1983); Lonestar's "Amazed" (two, 2000); and, Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" (one, 2005). "Never," which Swift performed Thursday (Sept. 6) on the MTV Video Music Awards, returns to the Hot 100's apex courtesy of a fourth consecutive week atop Digital Songs (284,000 downloads sold, up 12%, according to Nielsen SoundScan) and a 10-7 rise on Radio Songs (77 million audience impressions, up 8%, according to Nielsen BDS). Among its surges on radio genre charts," Never" lifts 14-11 on Pop Songs and bullets at No. 19 on Country Songs with a 4% gain. "Never" returns to the Hot 100 summit without the benefit of subscription streaming points. The track has not yet been made available to on-demand streaming services that also contribute to the Hot 100's data pool (and, thus, has not yet appeared on the On-Demand Songs chart). As she revisits the top of the Hot 100, Swift additionally tallies the chart's top debut, as "Ronan" bows at No. 16. The touching charity single enters Digital Songs at No. 2 (211,000). Swift wrote the track in honor of a three-year-old named Ronan who passed away from cancer; its proceeds will go toward the Taylor Swift Charitable Fund. As previously reported, as Swift places "Never" and "Ronan" at Nos. 1 and 2 on Digital Songs, she's the first artist to monopolize the top two spots since Ke$ha in 2010. In the Digital Songs chart's history, only three other artists had ranked at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously: the Black Eyed Peas (for two weeks in 2009), Beyonce (Dec. 6, 2008) and Mariah Carey (Dec. 31, 2005). In another score for country music this week, "Never" and "Ronan" make for the first time that two country songs have each sold more than 200,000 downloads in the same week. While "Never" serves as the lead single from Swift's fourth studio album, "Red," due Oct. 22, "Ronan" is not scheduled to be included on the set, according to her label, Big Machine. Below "Never," Maroon 5's "One More Night" lifts 3-2 on the Hot 100 with the chart's top Airplay Gainer award for the second straight week. It pushes 13-11 on Radio Songs (72 million, up 18%) and 11-8 on On-Demand Songs (608,000 on-demand streams, up 18%), while slipping 2-3 on Digital Songs, although with a 2% increase to 196,000. After returning to the top of the Hot 100 last week for a second frame on top, Flo Rida's "Whistle" falls to No. 3. The track climbs 3-2 on Radio Songs (94 million, up 5%), while sliding 2-3 on On-Demand Songs (732,000, down 3%) and 4-5 on Digital Songs (151,000, down 7%). Fun.'s "Some Nights" (5-4) flip-flops with Ellie Goulding's "Lights" (4-5) on the Hot 100. The former cut rebounds 2-1 on the Alternative Songs airplay chart for a third total frame at No. 1, besting the group's two-week reign on the radio ranking earlier this year with introductory hit "We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae. On the Hot 100, No. 4 marks a new peak for "Nights"; "Young" led the Hot 100 for six weeks beginning in March. After four weeks just below the Hot 100's top 10, P!nk's "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" returns to the region at a new peak (11-6), led by a 37% gain in digital sales to 114,000. With its latest sales week, the song, which P!nk sang on the VMAs, passes a million in downloads sold to date. P!nk's sixth studio album, "The Truth About Love," arrives Tuesday (Sept. 18). Justin Bieber's "As Long as You Love Me," featuring Big Sean, rises 9-7 on the Hot 100, followed by Neon Trees' "Everybody Talks" (6-8) and Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time" (8-9). Alex Clare nabs the Hot 100's lone new top 10 entry, as "Too Close" jumps 15-10, flying 11-6 on Digital Songs (127,000, up 50%) after its usage in Fox TV's "So You Think You Can Dance" last week. The U.K. singer's debut hit spent four weeks atop Alternative Songs. Check Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 13), 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. www.billboard.com/news#/news/taylor-swift-s-never-is-hot-100-s-longest-1007946732.story

And what about "Hold It Against Me" made it so vs. her two big follow-ups? wubwubwubwub Honestly, that's pretty accurate. It's also characterized by a half-time beat. I'll be honest: I had not heard Justin Bieber's song (my dirty secret: I have no idea what half the songs on the chart sound like despite knowing them by name) but after listening it definitely is dubstep. So, Alex Clare has to be runner up for now. |

She was the queen of the Grammys. They coronated her the queen with about 10 billion Grammys. In other news, Taylor gets her 9th Digital T2 song, all of them solo. Solo: Rihanna 7 Katy 7 Britney 5 I hate that term "coronation." It's overused. It should only be used for a debut single for a reality show contestant/winner. |
