Billboard Hot 100 : 9/7/2013

[HolidayGuy]

^And then some.

[jayhawk1117]

Im guessing this week
Wake Me Up 11-6
Summertime Sadness 15-9
Royals 17-10
Applause 6-4
Holy Grail 5-3

[RadioBeatz]

"Roar" has been 50% above "Blurred Lines" this week on iTunes, does it have a chance to hit #1?

The airplay is bigger and I suppose streaming as well.

[HolidayGuy]

^BL has multiple entries charting, though, so it won't exactly be 2-to-1.

[badrobot]

What about Katy's streaming? I'd guess that might dip this week after initial interest in the lyric video fades a bit (but that's a wild guess).

I also think people are underestimating the impact Applause's video will have. I think #3 is virtually a lock.

Plus it's the #1 and #12 best selling single on AmazonMP3 as well. The multiple versions are helping it out immensely. Gaga was ahead yet sold 70k less than Blurred Lines.

No summertime sadness for Ms. Elizabeth Woolridge Grant's fast-rising hit.

Posts like this confuse me lol...like...who the f*** is that? I had to look up at the mediabase #s to figure it out. How do you know these names?!

Wikipedia is also a good source, if you're curious about it. =P

[chartfreak]

Gaga gaining less than a million at radio? Hmmm, interesting.

[Linnethia Monique]

Katy:47.6 million singles and 4.3 million albums
Vs.
Gaga:41.4 million singles and 8.8 million albums

[Push The Button]

The Fame Monster EP has sold less than 50,000 copies since May 2011? It was at 1.5 million back then.

[Resident_Evil]

What's the big deal about Lana?? She sounds like a Laura Branigan clone.

[HolidayGuy]

PTB- some, like me, may opt for The Fame/The Fame Monster combo pack. Also- did Billboard report the 1.5m figure? It rounds numbers, so if it reported 1.5m, it could have been anywhere in the 1.451-1.499m range.

Nah, the 1.5m was an official total that I posted in my thread.

Official numbers (from the article they totaled):

First, digital song sales:
Katy Perry: 49,897,000
Lady Gaga: 46,322,000

And, album sales:
Lady Gaga: 8,817,000
Katy Perry: 4,333,000

Gaga apparently lots of album tracks? Quite a difference, unless you messed up math maybe?

[Deleted]

Gaga is missing Marry The Night in the list, so that's part of that 500k difference (thought MTN would have sold 500k at the very least though... )

But 8 million different? I don't see how that's possible.

ETA: Added myself and got 41,498,000 so he didn't add wrong. Odd.

[Deleted]

oh 5 million, not 500k #oops.

46,322,000 - 41.4 million = 5 mil, where you getting 8 from josh ???

Oh I was looking at Katy's real numbers minus Gaga's added numbers. Still, 5 million is a LOT from album tracks/MTN.

[badrobot]

Gaga has a lot of "quasi-singles" beyond MTN that had videos or were otherwise semi-promoted that aren't called out:

Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - video
Beautiful Dirty Rich - video
Christmas Tree - this was sort of promoted
Hair - buzz single #12 on Hot 100
Speechless - #94 on Hot 100

Those have each probably sold a few hundred thousand.

Don't doubt boo, but that is strange the difference. Each album track would have to average about 250-300K to boost the total that high.

1. ROBIN THICKE – Blurred Lines f/Pharrell & T.I: 282.915 (- 1.121)

I just cannot picture this symbol with this song. So there is hope for the rest of songs of eternity. For a while there, I was beginning to wonder.

[Enigma.]

Hair has sold at least 500k I suppose, it's a fan favourite.

[Glove Slap]

Hair also had a few promotional performances if I remember correctly around the release of the album, and it benefitted from being a countdown song.

[Enigma.]

Yes, I believe Taylor Swift's countdown "singles" have all sold over 500k too. And she has loads of those.

No 1R "counting stars" in airplay update?

[Kris]

I'd be quite content to see Zedd hit #3 just because of Radioactive/Treasure falling.
