While I am still learning about what is a high weekly stream number and what isn't to try and put this in perspective. It appears likely that 28 million is a pretty high number.

It will be interesting to see what the number is when this thing drops from #1. That will be our gauge in the future to determine what is "deserving" and what isn't

Love it!

Five weeks at #1 for that piece of crap? How pathetic. I never thought I'd actually say this, but I really want to see Bruno Mars at the top. I love "When I Was Your Man".

[Quixotic Music Lover]

I don't know about anybody else, but to me the HOT 100 has a vaguely surreal quality right now. I would love to know how many of Harlem Shake's YouTube streams are user generated videos as opposed to the video by Baauer. Without those I bet HS would struggle to get into the top 20.

Here is my estimate of the top 5. Once again I had to do some guessing on the on-demand streaming for songs 3-5, since BB does not break out the streaming #s.

Harlem Shake = 84,961 (80% of points from passive streaming);
Thrift Shop = 66,908
When I Was Your Man = 49,000
Suit & Tie = 44,067
Stay = 38,967

Based on Thrift Shop's lead in streaming of 2:1 over When I Was Your Man, it has the best shot at taking over the #1 spot if Harlem Shake's passive streaming drops below 22 million.

But songs 3, 4 & 5 are all gaining strongly so it could be a very close race in a couple of weeks (not to mention Pink's latest which is growing very quickly in popularity).

BTW as a footnote, by my estimates Harlem Shake has now accumulated over 930,000 chart points in 5 weeks. Over the same time period Thrift Shop's total was 361,400.

[charismatic]

Of course there's something fishy, FTM had everything to beat 'love me' this week.
It outsold it on iTunes, it has higher airplay and FTM also gained streaming points due to the video and it's even in the top 100 on spotify!

Many people criticizes Harlen Shake, but at least that song hasn't left the top 10 on iTunes since it reached the top! Therefore, it deserves to be in the top 10.

Um.

[slamina]

This new rule sucks. That's all.

[charismatic]

I don't even like 'Harlem shake,' but I think it's impressive that it's still top 10 on the digital charts without radio support. :o

---
And yeah, I think the new rules should be 70% sales, 20% radio and 10% streaming.

LOL! "Something fishy" ... Billboard hates Pitbull, huh? Riiiiiigggghhhhtt....

I was expecting to see feel this moment in the top 10. :'(
3 millions views on youtube, top 100 on spotify, 136,000 digital sold, 78 millions AI.

When I do the math using the airplay and sales #s I get about 21,700 chart points. It sounds like the Youtube views is a cumulative # not a weekly #, and Top 100 on spotify does not sound all that impressive. Pink's latest is at #9 and I calculated it has more than 24,000 chart points, so Pitbull's latest not making the top 10 is not surprising.

Week Ending March 17, 2013. Songs: The Great Chart Robbery Of 2013
. .By Paul Grein | Chart Watch – 1 hour 31 minutes ago.. .
.
“Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the 10th straight week. It’s #1 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart for the second week. Under the old chart formula, that would make the genial hip-hop smash a virtual lock for the #1 spot on the Hot 100. But under the new formula, which gives great (and I would contend excessive) weight to YouTube streaming data, it ranks #2 for the fifth straight week, behind Baauer’s “Harlem Shake.” That viral phenomenon is #6 on Hot Digital Songs and has yet to crack the 75-song Radio Songs chart. (Given that its total radio audience shrank by 9% this week, it probably never will crack the Radio Songs chart.)

“Harlem Shake” makes up for its deficits in sales and radio airplay by holding at #1 on the Streaming Songs chart for the fifth week. But even here it is losing its mojo. Its total streams drop by 42% this week, from 48 million to 28 million. (By comparison, the streaming total for “Thrift Shop” is 9.5 million, which represents a gain of 4% compared to last week.)

The streaming total for “Harlem Shake” has been shrinking every week since it debuted, from 103 million to 98 million to 54 million to 48 million to 24 million.

Billboard’s Gary Trust reports that, in terms of overall Hot 100 points, “Harlem Shake” has a 29% lead over “Thrift Shop” this week. But that’s down from a 103% lead last week.

This tells us four things. 1. “Thrift Shop” may return to #1 on the Hot 100 next week (though it will also have to contend with Bruno Mars’ new smash). 2. Billboard should seriously consider whether it thinks “Thrift Shop” should have spent the last five weeks at #2. Maybe its run at #1 should have been interrupted for a couple of weeks, when the “Harlem Shake” phenomenon was at its peak, but this sustained shut-out seems excessive. 3. Billboard probably should have had a longer trial run period, to get the new chart mix just right. 4. It’s to Billboard’s credit that it is being so transparent about the numbers behind the numbers. It's not trying to hide anything.

“Thrift Shop” is the first song to top the digital sales chart for 10 weeks since the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” in 2009. It’s the first song to remain #1 on that chart for 10 consecutive weeks since the Peas’ previous hit, “Boom Boom Pow.”

“Thrift Shop” is just the fourth song in the history of the Hot Digital Songs chart (which dates back to October 2004), to log 10 or more weeks at #1. “Low” by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain spent 13 weeks on top in 2007-2008. The two Peas hits each had 10 weeks on top. (Notably, those three earlier hits also spent 10 or more weeks at #1 on the Hot 100. By contrast, “Thrift Shop” has spent just four weeks at #1 so far.)

“Thrift Shop” tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the 10th week. That’s the longest run by a white artist since Robin Thicke’s “Lost Without U” topped the chart for 11 weeks in 2007.

“Harlem Shake” has now spent as many weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 as another New York-inspired song, “Empire State Of Mind” by Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys. “Harlem Shake” is also #1 on Dance/Electronic Songs for the fifth week.

Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” holds at #3 for the fourth straight week. It’s closing in on his 2011 hit "It Will Rain,” which logged five weeks at #3. But “When I Was Your Man” will probably climb higher. It zooms from #7 to #2 on Radio Songs and it holds at #2 on Hot Digital Songs for the third straight week. Assuming that “Harlem Shake” will continue to fall apart, Mars’ latest should move up next week.

“Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z rebounds from #5 to #4. This equals the song’s highest ranking to date. In addition, Timberlake’s “Mirrors” rebounds from #77 to #25 in its fifth week. This nearly equals its #24 debut. “Mirrors” is already in the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs. Digital sales rank: #8 (121K). “Mirrors” holds at #1 for the third week on The Official U.K. Singles Chart. It’s Timberlake’s second hit to have multiple weeks at #1 in the U.K. Madonna’s “4 Minutes,” on which he was featured, had four weeks on top in 2008.

Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience will enter The Billboard 200 at #1 next week with sales in the 750K range.

“Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess jumps from #18 to #9. It’s the third top 10 hit from P!nk’s former #1 album The Truth About Love. It follows “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” and “Try.” The Truth About Love is P!nk’s first album to spawn three top 10 hits since 2002’s Missundazstood, which spawned “Get The Party Started,” “Don’t Let Me Get Me” and “Just Like A Pill.” Not coincidentally, The Truth About Love has also logged the most weeks in the top 10 on The Billboard 200 (eight) of any P!nk album since Missundazstood (23).

Nate Ruess is starting to know how Adam Levine must have felt in 2011. The fun. front-man is expected to have two songs in this week’s top 30. As noted, P!nk’s “Just Give Me A Reason,” on which he is featured, jumps from #18 to #9. Also, fun.’s latest hit, “Carry On,” will probably move up from its #29 ranking last week. (The latter song has already climbed as high as #20.)

For 23 consecutive weeks in 2011 and early 2012, Levine had two songs in the top 20: Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts,” on which he was featured, and Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger” (featuring Christina Aguilera). For a remarkable 15 of those weeks, both songs were in the top 10.

Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 songs.

The Top Five: Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” holds at #1 in its fifth week on the chart. Digital sales rank: #6 (145K)…“Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz holds at #2 for the fifth week in its 24th week on the chart. This is its 13th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (270K)… Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” holds at #3 for the fourth week in its 13th week on the chart. This is its sixth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #2 (230K)…“Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z rebounds from #5 to #4 in its 10th week on the chart. This equals its highest ranking to date. This is its seventh week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #4 (201K)…“Stay” by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko dips from #4 to #5 in its sixth week on the chart. The song has climbed as high as #3. This is its fifth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #3 (222K).

The Second Five: Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” rebounds from #7 to #6 in its sixth week on the chart. This is its fifth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #9 (118K)…Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.” dips from #6 to #7 in its 22nd week on the chart. This is its 15th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #14 (75K)…“Scream & Shout” by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears holds at #8 for the second week its 16th week on the chart. This is its 11th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #12 (88K)… “Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess jumps from #18 to #9 in its fifth week. Digital sales rank: #5 (171K). This is P!nk’s 14th top 10 hit; Ruess’ third (counting fun. hits)…“Love Me” by Lil Wayne featuring Drake and Future dips from #9 to #10 in its ninth week on the chart. This is its third week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #13 (85K).

Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out Of Heaven” drops out of the top 10, ending a 20-week run in the top 10.

Two songs are likely to continue closing in on the top 10. “Feel This Moment” by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera was #13 last week. It’s vying to become Pitbull’s eighth top 10 hit; Aguilera’s 10th. Digital sales rank: #7 (136K). Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” was #17 last week. It’s vying to become the band’s first top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #10 (102K).

The Band Perry’s “DONE.” is likely to enter the Hot 100. The song is from the trio’s second album, Pioneer, which is due April 2. “Better Dig Two,” the album’s lead single, spent two weeks at #1 on Hot Country Songs and reached #28 on the Hot 100.

Here are other songs that are eying Hot 100 debuts.

“So Many Girls” by DJ Drama featuring Wale, Tyga & Roscoe Dash. The song is from DJ Drama’s current album Quality Street Music.

Glee Cast’s mash-up of *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” and Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.”

Jason Aldean’s “1994.” It’s from his current album Night Train. The song, a tribute to Joe Diffie, references eight of Diffie’s hits, including the #1 country hits “Third Rock From The Sun” and “Pickup Man.”

Kip Moore’s “Hey Pretty Girl.” It’s from his current album, Up All Night.

Ciara’s “Body Party.” It’s from her fifth studio album, One Woman Army, which is due June 4.

“Freaks” by French Montana featuring Nicki Minaj. It’s from her debut album, Excuse My French, which is due May 21.

Maroon 5’s “One More Night” tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s the group’s third song to reach this plateau, following “Moves Like Jagger” (featuring Christina Aguilera, 5,998,000) and “One More Night” (featuring Wiz Khalifa, 5,037,000).

Rascal Flatts’ 2006 hit “Life Is A Highway” tops the 3 million mark. It’s the 10thcountry song to reach 3 million; the fourth by a duo or group. Among country duo/group hits, it trails Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” (6,073,000), The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” (4,518,000) and Zac Brown Band’s “Chicken Fried” (4,518,000). Tom Cochrane’s original version of “Life Is A Highway” reached #6 on the Hot 100 in 1992. Rascal Flatts’ version, which it recorded for the animated movie Cars, reached #7 on the Hot 100 and #18 on Hot Country Songs.

2 Chainz’s “I’m Different” tops the 1 million mark. It’s his second million-seller as a lead artist. “No Lie” (featuring Drake) is up to 1,319,000.

Reba McEntire has surpassed Dolly Parton as the top female artist in the history of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. That’s the big news from the eighth edition of Joel Whitburn’s Hot Country Songs 1944-2012. Eddy Arnold continues as the top male artist (and top artist overall). Alabama continues as the top group. Brooks & Dunn continues as the top duo. Taylor Swift enters Whitburn’s listing of the top 300 country hit-makers at #101. The heart of the 512-page book is a listing by artist of every song to crack the country chart from January 1944 to December 2012. The book lists nearly 20,000 hits and nearly 2,600 artists. For more information, check out Joel’s website: www.recordresearch.com.

To My Readers: I’ll have more to add after I’ve seen the full Hot 100.

I just can't get worked up about Thrift Shop being "denied" of all these weeks at #1. I do agree that the new formula is weighting Youtube too much and maybe Harlem Shake should have been on top for two weeks and now it's sort of ridiculous but...TS got four weeks at #1, when so many huge songs couldn't even manage one. And even then, it's not like a song topping the Hot 100 for weeks and weeks means it will be remembered in the long run. So my reaction to this "robbery" is basically a big shrug and a whatever. Some chart watcher I am!

[josh]

Hopefully "Clarity" debuts this week. Keeps going up on iTunes and airplay, and it was bubbling under the last couple weeks. Hoping for "Mountain Sound" to debut as well, but I doubt it. And hoping for "Tonight I'm Getting Over You" to debut but I highly doubt it. Not much going on in sales or airplay for that. Yet.

[SPRΞΞ]

it's so awesome that JT will be #1 on airplay tomorrow.

[Agent Yoncé]

Smh. Damn shame. Paul also forgot to mention that 'Thrift Shop' is robbing the people on R&B/Hip Hop chart. It's barely Top 40 on Urban radio yet it's been #1 on the singles chart for 10wks now

& since when French Montana was a female? Lol

[trackmaster13]

And since when did "One More Night" feature Wiz Khalifa?

[RadioBeatz]

Paul Grein is so right. :) I don't understand how can anyone defend this new Hot 100 rule, it's absurd, no matter how some people try to twist it.

"Thrift Shop" will probably go on and top the exclusive 7 million mark in sales and be denied of those deserved weeks at #1, such a shame.

He just made a TYPO, give him a break. it was "Payphone" but he wrote "One More Night" twice, maybe he was in a run writing this article, I bet he has a life.

A professional writer should be fully capable of double and triple checking his work, and possibly even having an editor.

i think the idea can be defended but now how its being done. i think most people feel youtube is a good idea, but the 30 second clips should be weighted differently and the overall percentage of youtube should be lowered

For the first time, pop radio became a supporting format in the early / early mid 2000s. In the early / mid 90s, Pop radio fractured and its ratings plummeted, but it was still the airplay spine of the Hot 100. When rhythmic overtook Pop in the ratings from 2001 through 2006, Pop lost its dominance, and even its top songs couldn't make the Hot 100 top 20 without rhythmic support. I firmly believe that Hollaback Girl changed everything.

nope nope it was mid to late 90's forcing billboard to change their rules. One could argue that adding other radio formats to the HOT 100 formula wouldve made some songs appear less dominant than chart watchers think they were with the additional data added into the formula. 1996-1998 you were handicapped as it relates to HOT 100 Airplay if you were an R&B/HipHop song.

Ugh, Paul's second fck up: French Montana is not a woman.

I don't like Thrift Shop so I don't care if got robbed at #1, it will return to #1 eventually.

Glad Just Give Me A Reason hit the top 10.

[Deleted]

I just want to remind everyone how Harlem Shake is still #1 with only twenty something million Youtube views, and a lot less sales. You can complain about the weighting but it still would have been #1 during its first 2 weeks if Billboard weighted the 30 second clips differently.

No one is arguing that. I still think it 100million youTubes should be equivalent to 100k in sales. I think that is completely fair.

I just want to remind everyone how Harlem Shake is still #1 with only twenty something million Youtube views, and a lot less sales. You can complain about the weighting but it still would have been #1 during its first 2 weeks if Billboard weighted the 30 second clips differently.

No one is arguing that. I still think it 100million youTubes should be equivalent to 100k in sales. I think that is completely fair.

That's a pretty low weighting imo. For example, this week Thrift Shop got about 8 million Youtube streams (just estimating from it's total streams - On-Demand streams), so that would would be the equivalent of about 8,000 sales.

Wow. It seems Billboard have decided to move Pitbull up to #10 now lol.

How odd, some of the HOT 100 chart placements are different then what Paul Grein indicated in his Chart Beat column. Also, I thought "Love Me" was at #10 not #11. Did BB have to re-run the HOT 100? I did notice the latest HOT 100 on Billboard.biz did not have any bullets for the March 30th, 2013 chart.

Kelly Rowland as well. She was announced as #80, but she's #79 in this chart.

I think Pink too, she was #9 in the previous chart iirc, but #8 in this one. How strange.
