Are you talking about Billboard's site? If so, I hate what they have done to that site. It's become a hassle to read through the charts. I like it much better how it was prior to their 2013 overhaul.

I think he was talking about the ProBoards v5 update (and the update was automatic, so no going back to normal). I also noticed his was a mobile post. I like the look of the site on my computer, but I've heard v5 mobile really blows.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

Lmao! Ohhh dear!

[jebsib]

Yeah, if you have an iPhone, you are bombarded by ads, you can only go directly to the first page of a topic, and you've got to get back to the Home Page to get to any format forums. Painful.

I'm just confused by the numbers/rankings. How is will.i.am at #5 with the smallest first number? What number should I be looking at?

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

The first number is total views. The second number is daily change in views. It is being ranked by that second number.

Billboard.com:

Over on the Digital Songs chart, P!nk remains at No. 1 with "Just Give Me a Reason" (featuring Nate Ruess), selling another 262,000 (down 7%). Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" is steady at No. 2 with 245,000, but earns the largest percentage gain in the top 10: it's up by 17%.

Rihanna's "Stay" (featuring Mikky Ekko) climbs 4-3 (162,000; down 8%), Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" rises 5-4 (147,000; down 12%) and Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" ascends 8-5 (142,000; up 12%).

Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" slides 3-6 (129,000; down 28%), Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" dips 6-7 (128,000; down 23%), Icona Pop's "I Love It" (featuring Charli XCX) is up 10-8 (127,000; up 9%) and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" is a non-mover at No. 9 (just under 127,000; up 2%).

Daft Punk earns the highest debut of the week, as its new "Get Lucky" (featuring Pharrell Williams) bows at No. 10 with 113,000. It's the best sales week for any single by the electronic/dance duo. "Get Lucky" arrives with only three days of sales, as it was released on Friday, April 19. The latest tracking week ended at the close of business on Sunday, April 21.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 23.71 million downloads, down 7% compared with last week (25.50 million) and down 8% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (25.91 million). Year to date track sales are at 433.99 million, down 2% compared to the same total at this point last year (444.47 million).

Damn, Come & Get It is probably #11 in sales. >:(

[RadioBeatz]

So who's #1 this week? I hope JGMAR.

I hope "Just Give Me a Reason" is No. 1, but I feel like "Gentlemen" might take it due to its strong YouTube showing this week.

[josh]

I hope Gentleman gets it this week, and Can't hold Us gets it next week. :)

[Quixotic Music Lover]

In terms of digital sales, Pink & M&R are duking it out for #1, with the rest trailing far behind. I still think "Gentleman" will be #1 this week, but next week is likely going to be a horse race between the two big digital sellers.

I was like woah so much red! Then I realized 2 million updates are normally green lmao.

[Deleted]

I hope "Gentlemen" isn't #1. It spent very little time in the Top 20 on iTunes and is getting almost no radio airplay. YouTube streaming is counted way too heavily in my opinion.

[irice22]

Oh, boy. This might be a stupid question, but here it goes...

Those radio audience impressions, is that 191 million for the #1 song? If true, are we really comparing 191 million to 25 million YouTube views? Come on now.

If "Gentleman" gets it this week, does JGMAR have a chance to return to #1 next week? "Can't Hold Us" is gaining fast.

"Gentleman" is falling down on iTunes, currently at #50 wow I guess he's going to promote soon because it's bombing in sales.

[Deleted]

We're going to have a lot of songs getting very high on the Hot 100 very soon just based on YouTube viewing, while they're radio and sales flops.

When Little Peggy March ascended to the top of the chart on April 27, 1963, at the mere age of 15, she became both the youngest artist to ever achieve a #1 song on the Hot 100; as well as the youngest female artist to do so. She would hold on to the record for youngest female for many, many years, but her record for youngest overall artist would be broken just 3 months later by another young artist with "little" in his name.

In any case, here is the Billboard Top 10 from exactly 50 years ago this week:

May 4, 1963

1-1 I Will Follow Him - Little Peggy March (2nd week at #1)
2-2 Can't Get Used To Losing You - Andy Williams
3-4 Puff The Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul & Mary
4-6 Pipeline - Chantay's
5-3 He's So Fine - The Chiffons
6-15 If You Wanna Be Happy - Jimmy Soul (future #1)
7-7 Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby) - The Cookies
8-11 Surfin' U.S.A. - Beach Boys
9-9 On Broadway - The Drifters
10-10 Watermelon Man - Mongo Santamaria Band

[Agent Yoncé]

Let's go Daft Punk!

[irice22]

lol, Psy not even close!

"Just Give Me a Reason" logs a second week at No. 1, while PSY sends his newest viral, and sales, hit, "Gentleman," into the top tier

P!nk spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Just Give Me a Reason," featuring fun.'s Nate Ruess. PSY, meanwhile, soars 12-5 with "Gentleman," which adds increased streaming and sales to its already record-setting YouTube views totals.

"Reason" reigns on Digital Songs for a fourth week with 262,000 downloads sold (down 7%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It advances, however, 4-3 on Radio Songs, up by 17% to 114 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. On Streaming Songs, "Reason" backtracks 5-6, although with a 1% increase to 4.7 million streams, according to BDS.

While "Reason" is P!nk's fourth Hot 100 No. 1, it's just her second to lead for multiple weeks. 2001's "Lady Marmalade," with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mya, dominated for five frames. (2008's "So What" and 2010's "Raise Your Glass" each spent a week at No. 1.)

K-pop star PSY blasts into the Hot 100's top 10 (12-5) with "Gentleman," which wins top Streaming and Digital Gainer honors following its first full week of availability. The song follows his breakout U.S. hit "Gangnam Style," which became the first video ever to reach 1 billion views worldwide. (It now stands at 1.6 billion.) "Gangnam" peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for seven weeks last fall (before YouTube data began contributing to the chart) and has sold 4.5 million downloads.

"Gentleman" bounds into the Hot 100's top 10 fueled primarily by a 60% gain in streaming, as it tallies a second week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs with 13.9 million U.S. streams. It had registered 8.6 million streams in the U.S. in just shy of two days since its posting (on April 13) in last week's chart tracking period. (Now up to 216 million YouTube views worldwide [as of this posting], the song set the mark for the most views [18.9 million] for a video in its first day on the site, according to sources at YouTube, as previously reported. The Hot 100, however, counts only U.S. views in its weekly tabulation.)

"Gentleman" also debuts at No. 20 on Digital Songs with 72,000 downloads sold, a 167% improvement over its sum last week, which encompassed less than three days following its digital release on April 12.

Without official radio promotion, "Gentleman" is receiving only minimal airplay so far. Its 65 plays in the April 15-21 BDS tracking week rank it at the lower end of the 100 most-played mainstream top 40 tracks in that span.

"Gentleman" concurrently lifts 2-1 on Dance/Electronic Songs.

Below P!nk, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis claim the Hot 100's Nos. 2 and 3 titles. "Can't Hold Us," featuring Ray Dalton, rises 5-2 and "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, dips 2-3 after logging six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. "Hold" takes over atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, after "Shop" led for 14 weeks, and the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart, which "Shop" topped for 13 frames through last week.

"Hold" reaches the top 10 on Radio Songs (13-8; 71 million, up 20%) and Streaming Songs (11-5; 5 million, up 42%), while spending a second week at No. 2 on Digital Songs (245,000, 17%).

Macklemore & Lewis are the first multi-member act to place two titles in the Hot 100's top three since the Black Eyed Peas did so for five weeks in June/July 2009. (Among all acts, Rihanna had last doubled up in the top three the week of Oct. 2, 2010.)

P!nk again wins a close race to the Hot 100's top spot, as approximately just 7,000 chart points separate "Reason" and "Hold," after "Reason" led "Shop" by about 4,000 points last week. With "Reason" up by less than 1% this week and "Hold" up by 24%, continued momentum could send the latter song to the summit next week.

Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" falls 3-4 on the Hot 100 after crowning the chart two weeks ago. Still, it claims a fifth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (142 million, down 5%).

Below PSY, Rihanna's "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, drops 4-6. As previously reported, the song this week becomes her record-setting 10th No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, pushing her past Katy Perry for the most leaders in the ranking's 20-year history.

Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" (7-7) is the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer. Impressively, the song completes his fastest trip to the Radio Songs top 10, vaulting 18-9 with a 36% gain to 70 million in its fourth week. Of his 11 prior top 10s on the chart, he'd previously roared to the top 10 in as few as five weeks with 2006's "My Love," featuring T.I., and his predecessor single "Suit & Tie," featuring Jay-Z.

"Mirrors" also charges 8-5 on Digital Songs (142,000, up 12%) and 10-9 on Streaming Songs (3.5 million, up 3%).

"Suit," meanwhile, descends 6-8 on the Hot 100 and passes 2 million sold to date.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Pitbull's "Feel This Moment," featuring Aguilera, retreats to No. 9 from its No. 8 peak and Drake's No. 6-peaking "Started From the Bottom" slides 9-10.

Just outside the Hot 100's top 10, Daft Punk notches its highest-ever rank, as "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, launches at No. 20 with 113,000 downloads sold. The act had previously reached No. 61 with both 1997's "Around the World" and 2001's "One More Time." "Lucky" starts with just three days of sales, following its April 19 release, although its opening week sales still mark the duo's best frame. The pair releases its fourth album, "Random Access Memories," its first studio set since 2005, on May 21.

Check Billboard.com tomorrow (April 25), when all rankings, including the Hot 100 in its entirety and Digital Songs, Radio Songs, Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs will be refreshed, as they are each Thursday.
