Gaga isn't not debuting at #1 due to "Blurred Lines" chart denomination. Granted it won't be as huge in 4 weeks but its likely to reach near 200 mil AI within a couple weeks and she'd have to compete with that more than anything else. Plus since BL is still selling near 400k a week it probably won't decline much lower than 200k by the time her single drops making it even HARDER. I'd say if the single is HOT and it creates a lot of buzz than I'd say she'll easily land in the top 5 which is nothing to scoff at.

The best shot at a #1 debut is probably debuting the song and video simultaneously on a Wednesday (or Tuesday at midnight even). I think if Gaga pursues that route she could debut at #1. Really I think the key is having the video released the same day, now that YouTube plays such a major role, and considering how huge videos have been for her in the past. She definitely has lost a lot of buzz so it could fizzle fast but I think opening week, if all channels are aligned, she could debut at #1. But that would mean releasing the song on iTunes on that same Wednesday to maximize the number of days (Wednesday to Sunday) for the sales tracking week, right? |

Gaga will debut already on low Hot 100 with only 1 or 2 days of airplay, and the then the following week, it may zoom to #1 after full week airplay, sales and streaming points. Hopefully it debuts between #98-#100 Hot 100, so if it jumps to #1, it will break the record for the biggest jump to #1  |

Week Ending July 14, 2013. Songs:
By Paul Grein | Chart Watch Wed. July 17, 2013
Remember when Justin Timberlake was M.I.A. as a recording artist, far more interested in breaking into film and doing guest shots on SNL? He’s back. Timberlake has two songs in the top 10 and a third further down the chart.
As noted above, “Holy Grail,” on which he is featured, debuts at #8. Timberlake’s own “Mirrors” drops from #7 to #9. This is the 14th week in the top 10 for the latter song, which ties Timberlake’s 2006 hit “My Love” (featuring T.I.) as his longest-running top 10 hit to date.
Timberlake also has the week’s third highest new entry with “Take Back the Night” at #47. This is the first single from Timberlake’s fourth solo album, The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2, which is due Sept. 30. (That album and the first The 20/20 Experience will also be bundled as one package, The 20/20 Experience: The Complete Experience, which will be released the same day.)
“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell tops the Hot 100 for the sixth week. That puts it in a tie with “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz for the longest run at #1 so far this year. Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out Of Heaven” also spent six weeks on top, but its run was divided between 2012 and 2013. (Two of these three songs are strongly evocative of hits by earlier performers. “Blurred Lines” echoes Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up (Pt. I). It also borrows from Michael Jackson. “Locked Out Of Heaven” is so reminiscent of reggae-tinged songs by The Police that Sting joined Mars to perform the song on the Grammys in February.)
“Blurred Lines” sold 384K copies this week. It just missed becoming the first song in digital history to top 400K in weekly sales four times. (It remains tied with “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra, which topped 400K in weekly sales three times last year.) “Blurred Lines” becomes the eighth song to top the 3 million mark in 2013.
“Blurred Lines” received 179 million all-format radio “audience impressions,” according to Nielsen BDS. That’s the greatest one-week total since Alicia Keys’ “No One” rated 192 million audience impressions in December 2007. “Blurred Lines” is also #1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the sixth week.
“Blurred Lines” also returns to #1 on The Official U.K. Singles chart. This is its fifth week on top, which makes it the longest-running #1 of the year in the U.K. It surpasses Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” (which also features Pharrell Williams), which logged four weeks on top. “Blurred Lines” is the first single to spend five or more weeks at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. since “Somebody That I Used To Know.”
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” logs its fifth week at #2. This means that Pharrell Williams is featured on the top two songs on the Hot 100 for the fifth straight week. Williams is one of only six artists in the rock era to hold down the top two spots for five or more weeks. He follows The Beatles (10 weeks in 1964), Bee Gees (five weeks in 1978), Ashanti (five weeks in 2002), OutKast (eight weeks in 2003-2004) and T.I. (six non-consecutive weeks in 2008).
While “Get Lucky” probably won’t reach #1, the members of Daft Punk have hit the top spot before. They had a co-writer credit on Kanye West’s “Stronger,” which sampled their 2001 song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
“Get Lucky” is #1 on Dance/Electronic Songs for a ninth week, passing “Harlem Shake” for the longest reign since the chart bowed in January.
Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” holds at #3 for the third week. The song tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week.
Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” holds at #4 for the third week. It’s #1 on Rock Songs for the 17th week. The song tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s the 17th rock song (as defined by Nielsen SoundScan) to top the 4 million mark. But we need to dig into this. Nielsen SoundScan classifies some songs as rock that many, if not most, people would call pop. For example, the top five songs on their list of the best-selling rock songs were all classified as pop in the Grammy process: “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra, “We Are Young” by fun. featuring Janelle Monae, Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” and Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” While it’s always hard categorize music, I think the Grammys made the right calls on all these songs.
Adhering to Grammy classifications (and improvising in the cases of Journey and Nickelback), “Radioactive” is the fourth best-selling rock song in digital history, following Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” (5,777,000), The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” (4,363,000) and Nickelback’s “Rock Star” (4,229,000). It has pulled ahead of Kings Of Leon’s “Use Somebody” (4,068,000).
“Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly dips from #5 to #6. The song tops the 5 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s only the third country song to reach that plateau, following Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” (6,177,000) and Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” (5,594,000).
“Cruise” is #1 on Hot Country Songs for the 20th week. It’s the first song to spend 20 weeks at #1 on this chart since Ray Price’s “Crazy Arms” in 1956. “Cruise” is the longest-running #1 by a group or duo ever.
Bruno Mars’ “Treasure” jumps from #8 to #7. The song tops the 1 million mark in digital sales.
Anna Kendrick’s “Cups (When It’s Gone From Pitch Perfect)” holds at #10 for the second week. The single runs just 2:07. That’s short, but it’s not the shortest top 10 hit of the “rock era.” That distinction is held by Hayley Mills’ “Let’s Get Together,” which she sang in movie The Parent Trap. The song, which reached #8 in October 1961, ran just 1:28.
The next three shortest running times on top 10 hits are Annette’s “Tall Paul” (1:34; #7 in 1959), The Dave Clark Five’s “I Like It Like That” (1:38, #7 in 1965) and Fess Parker’s “Ballad Of Davy Crockett” (1:39, #5 in 1955).
Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 songs.
The Top Five: “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. and Pharrell holds at #1 for the sixth week in its 13th week on the chart. This is its seventh week in the top 10.

Gaga will debut already on low Hot 100 with only 1 or 2 days of airplay, and the then the following week, it may zoom to #1 after full week airplay, sales and streaming points. Hopefully it debuts between #98-#100 Hot 100, so if it jumps to #1, it will break the record for the biggest jump to #1 #1 debuts for any song will be somewhat rare unless it is a youtube phenomenon like Harlem Shake |

Part of Me by Katy Perry had airplay the week before release, but it didn't quite make the Hot 100. Instead it made #1 on the Bubbling-Under chart, which meant it still debuted at #1 the following week. I was slightly gutted it didn't get a tiny bit more airplay to debut at #100. And Don’t Drop That Thun Thun at #88!!! YES! I hope it can be higher next week. |

Just look at avicii's "wake me up" it's gonna be a super hit worldwide.It has sold 153000 copies in UK in just 3 days. Maybe it can be the next surprising song that goes #1 It's not gonna be a massive hit, it already is! I can't see it going to #1 in the US. But I think it's a definite top 10. I think Get Lucky will remain the biggest dance hit of 2013. That said, I can't understand how the song has sold so much in the UK. Although it has been repressed, meaning it's getting all the sales it would've got over the past 2-3 weeks all at once, but it's still extremely impressive. |

The best shot at a #1 debut is probably debuting the song and video simultaneously on a Wednesday (or Tuesday at midnight even). I think if Gaga pursues that route she could debut at #1. Really I think the key is having the video released the same day, now that YouTube plays such a major role, and considering how huge videos have been for her in the past. She definitely has lost a lot of buzz so it could fizzle fast but I think opening week, if all channels are aligned, she could debut at #1. But that would mean releasing the song on iTunes on that same Wednesday to maximize the number of days (Wednesday to Sunday) for the sales tracking week, right? Yes. So, it would be 7 days of airplay, 5 days of sales, and then I'm not sure what the YouTube/streaming tracking week is for days there. Note I was just listing out all the things she'd have to do to get the most points out the gate -- I'm not saying this is their strategy or what I think will happen, merely what they'd have to do if a #1 debut is what they cared about the most. Normally I don't think that's very important, but I think she has more to prove in terms of a "comeback" than most artists do at this point and it would make sense for them to try for that huge impact out of the gate. To the other comment about longevity -- I'd say that's determined by the quality of the song, not the release schedule. You can stretch out a release schedule but if no one likes the song, it's not gonna stick around. |

The week before GaGa debuts, Blurred Lines will be in it's 11th week @ #1, and thus it's sales will be a lot down that what it's now. It's airplay will have peaked a couple of weeks before.
So I say, if her debut it's massive, then she will be #1.

I don't know if Gaga will debut at #1 or not. Who knows Gaga's single, may be big or it may not be. Either way, I don't see a debut at #1 happening unless there are 30 million you tube views that accompany the debut

Gaga won't debut at #1. She can't. There will be too much hype when it's released, so she'll end up debuting somewhere between 70-100 because of two strong days of airplay. She might be able to jump to #1, but she won't debut at number one. Just like Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

Does it matter when a song reaches #1 if it's going to reach it anyway?
Not saying Gaga's will. But for example WANEGBT was always going to be #1 at some point.
I'd rather take steady climb and 4 weeks at #1 than a chart run a la Harlem Shake.
But for Gaga (again, only an example) steady climb is pretty much impossible as it's such an anticipated release.

I'd actually rather have her jump from #100 to #1 than to debut. She's already done that, might as well go for another record that can never be broken (unless they add more spots on the chart...) |
