Which Jessie J song ? . wild ? . After the huge success of Domino , any thing after that has been completely ignored in the US . Weird .

Well Jesse J's record label decided not to release "Wild" here in the States. Her last era had two hits with "Price Tag" and "Domino". I'm also surprised she has no U.S release this era also.

[Deleted]

Wrecking Ball currently has Roar down to 0,61... Before the video, Wrecking Ball was selling around 0,27 of Roar. That means that Wrecking Ball is selling 6 times as much as it was before the video... Which I think was already top 10. It's also up to 40,1 million views in 46 hours...

Top 2 is guaranteed next week.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

#1 is a guarantee for Wrecking Ball. It's Miley's world and we are lucky to be in it.

I still have my copy of INOJ Time after Time CDsingle.. I do find it funny that some chart nerds didn't know who that was. I may be older than alot of you on here, but when you pay attention to the charts, even one hit wonders should be recognizable from any decade.

Accept that inoj wasn't a one hit wonder. She had another hit called Love You Down.

Yes it looks like "Wrecking Ball" is a shoo-in for #1 on the Sept. 28th HOT 100.  And I thought "Roar" was going to spend 5-6 weeks consecutively at the top.  Now that YouTube views are included in the formula, accurate predictions are hard to come by.

another 80's remake from Ready For The World

[badrobot]

That era had a lot of labels pushing dance/pop "one hit wonders" (or in the case of Inoj, "two hit wonder") that just covered an older song:

Nicki French "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
DJ Sammy "Heaven"
DHT "Listen to Your Heart"

[HolidayGuy]

From Yahoo Chart Watch:

Katy Perry’s “Roar” is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the fourth straight week (373K). “Roar” is the first song to spend its first four weeks at #1 since Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” spent its first five weeks on top in August-September 2012. Will “Roar” hold at #1 for the second week on the Hot 100? You’ll find out later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs.

Billboard.com:
Over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" holds at No. 1 for a fourth week, selling another 373,000 downloads (down 17%). Current Billboard magazine cover star Lorde flies 8-2 with her breakthrough single "Royals" as it moves 225,000 (up 34%).

Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" zooms 6-3 with 197,000 (up 12%), while Eminem's "Berzerk" slides 2-4 with 187,000 (down 48%) in its second week.

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Pharrell and T.I., drops 3-5 with 168,000 (down 31%) while Lady Gaga's "Applause" falls 4-6 with 160,000 (down 25%). Perry and Lady Gaga both decline this week, following handsome gains a week ago in the wake of their performances on the MTV Video Music Awards (Aug. 25).

Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Timberlake, is steady at No. 7 with 159,000 (down 7%), and Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness" rises 11-8 with 127,000 (though it's down by 2% in sales).

Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home," featuring Majid Jordan, rises one slot to No. 9 with nearly 127,000 (down 10%), and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" falls 5-10 with 116,000 (down 42%). The latter song will likely make a gain next week, following consumer reaction to its official music video, which premiered Sept. 9.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.3 million downloads, down 1% compared with last week (22.6 million) and down 4% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (23.3 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 910.3 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (939.6 million).

So Wrecking Ball is selling around 500-600k right now? That's incredible.

OMG @ Miley!! And people were saying the VMA performance stuck an instant fork in her career LOL! Not a big fan, but my god, if anything that 'train wreck' of a performance only generated more epic buzz/momenntum and success lol! That was her Madonna 1984 LAV VMA moment ;P (kinda joking) lol. Shes sooo going at least #2 next week! Again, not a huge fan but give this girl that damn #1 single already lol.

[SPRΞΞ]

Nasty 8th day for Celine.

[forg]

Wrecking Ball is a nice song,too bad she or her team felt the need to go controversial for more publicity. It worked though and that kinda sucks IMHO

[Enigma.]

I find the Wrecking Ball video much more interesting than regular pornographic pop video so I think it did its job.

Can't believe it  :o Roar gains better than expected... few more days and BL will be dethroned!!! nyahaha 

Do you think wrecking ball has a chance to beat ROAR on next week's hot 100 chart?

[badrobot]

A few questions, for anyone in the know:

-Is Ellie Goulding's "Burn" getting any significant airplay?
-Can anyone explain where Awolnation's "Sail" has been getting its points all this time? I still can't believe it's been on the charts a year, I only heard it for the first time a couple months ago, and I just played it for a very music-oriented friend and he'd never even heard it once before -- I'm not saying we're representative of the average but I can't figure out where it's been getting such exposure?
-Can anyone break down what formats "Royals" is getting play on? I've become pretty addicted to this song, and am really intrigued by a teen singer focusing on non-dance/pop styles and finding success.

[Xedretinz Lododnz]

I just wanna ask if what day does streaming ends to be counted for hot 100 points in every week???

-I don't think Burn it's getting any significant airplay. I ain't even know if it was released to US radio.
-Actually it charted on the lower half of the Hot 100 when it was only an "alternative single" and it fell out. When it was released to pop radio it came back into the top 50. It is always selling consistently well, it's already 3x platinum, and I guess it's doing well on streaming too. It only lacks on airplay. So no surprise on it being a "one year hit".
-She's on top 40 on Pop/AC/HAC/Alternative/Rhythmic/Triple A.

[3m3r7c]

So Miley album drops in under 4 weeks...has only one single that got any radio play and is currently dropping...yet has the record breaking YouTube views song which is selling like crazy but has no AirPlay?

Why would her label not give an insane push to an obvious hit to radio right before the album?

[Az Paynter]

cesarams 'Burn' is released to US pop radio in October, so it should start to pick up steam then.

3m3r7c 'Wrecking Ball' goes to US pop radio next week.

[Enigma.]

I think Miley's label is doing very good job.. It's not their fault that We Can't Stop wasn't embraced by radio more than it was. This era will be great for her anyway and Wrecking Ball's airplay numbers should be good in October/November when Q4 really kicks in.

[Rocky]

"Roar" widens its lead at No. 1, while Lana Del Rey and Drake also move up.

Once again, Katy Perry's "Roar" makes the loudest noise on the Billboard Hot 100, as the song rules the survey for a second week, fueled in large part by the premiere of its video last week. Meanwhile, Lorde and Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais make notable moves within the chart's top 10 and Drake returns to the region.

"Roar" claims the Hot 100's top Streaming Gainer award, as it rises 3-1 on the Streaming Songs chart with a 122% increase to 12 million U.S. streams, up 33%, according to Nielsen BDS. The song's fun queen-of-the-jungle-themed video premiered on Thursday (Sept. 5). "Roar" leads the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart for a second week (2.1 million, down 1%).

"Roar" crowns Digital Songs for a fourth week, selling 373,000 downloads for the week ending Sept. 8 (down 17%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. (Last week, it gained by 14% in sales after Perry performed it on the MTV Video Music Awards [Aug. 25])..

"Roar" adds the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a second week, charging 6-2 on Radio Songs with a 28% spike to 123 million all-format audience impressions, according to BDS. How fast a start is the song off to at radio? It's the first to rocket to the Radio Songs top two in five weeks or less since 2004, when Usher and Alicia Keys' "My Boo" also reached the region that swiftly.

In all, the success of "Roar" so far bodes well for parent album "Prism," due Oct. 22. Capitol Records previewed the set on Thursday, with Perry introducing each track, for industry invitees at Solo in New York. "I'm beyond impressed. Incredible production and killer hooks," beamed WHTZ (Z100) New York program director Sharon Dastur of the album. Check out Billboard's review of the set here, as well as what other attendees had to say about "Prism."

"Roar" widens its lead tenfold atop the Hot 100 over Robin Thicke's former 12-week No. 1 "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell), which spends a second week at No. 2. "Roar" gains by 18% in overall chart points, while "Lines" loses 2% of its sum, granting the former title a hefty 42% lead in points; last week, the margin was 4%.

Still, "Lines" leads Radio Songs for a 10th week (194 million, down 5%). It's the first song to reach double-digit weeks at No. 1 since Rihanna's "We Found Love" (featuring Calvin Harris) led for 12 frames in 2011-12. "Lines" logs the longest Radio Songs command for a solo male since Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" (featuring Static Major) licked the competition for 10 weeks in 2008. (Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" holds the mark for the most weeks atop Radio Songs: 18, in 1998.)

"Lines" slips 2-4 on Streaming Songs (4.9 million, down 26%) and 3-5 on Digital Songs (168,000, down 31%). Billboard's Song of the Summer links a 14th week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and a 17th week atop R&B Songs.

Sixteen-year-old New Zealander, and current Billboard magazine cover act, Lorde blasts 8-3 on the Hot 100 with her breakthrough U.S. single "Royals." The track wins top Digital Gainer honors for a fourth time in five weeks, vaulting 8-2 on Digital Songs (225,000, up 34%). It reaches the top 10 on Streaming Songs (12-8; 4 million, up 40%) and lifts 17-13 on Radio Songs (72 million, up 26%).


Aided by its support at alternative radio, "Royals" rules Hot Rock Songs for a second week. It tops the Alternative Songs airplay chart for a fifth week, tying Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" (1995) for the longest domination on the ranking for a song by a solo female. (Browse Billboard's 25th anniversary celebration of the Alternative Songs chart's all-time top songs and top artists.)

Jay Z's "Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake) reaches a new Hot 100 high point, pushing 5-4. It jumps 7-4 on Radio Songs (103 million, up 16%), although it falls in sales (159,000, down 7%) and streaming (4.1 million, down 12%). It returns to the Rap Songs summit for a sixth week at No. 1 and, as previously reported, climbs to the top of the Rhythmic radio airplay chart.

Avicii scores his first top five hit on the Hot 100, as "Wake Me Up!" springs 7-5. It climbs 6-3 on Digital Songs (197,000, up 12%), 8-7 on Streaming Songs (4 million, up 8%) and 18-16 on Radio Songs (69 million, up 27%), the lattermost move spurred in part by the innovative dance/folk song's airplay at rock radio. On Dance/Electronic Songs, "Wake" is the new No. 1 after holding at No. 2 for two weeks.

Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness" soars 10-6 on the Hot 100, marking a new peak. The track reaches the Radio Songs top 10 (13-8; 81 million, up 8%), while returning to its peak to date on Digital Songs (11-8, despite a 2% decrease to 127,000). It backtracks 10-12 on Streaming Songs, although with a 3% gain to 3.1 million.

Lady Gaga regresses 6-7 on the Hot 100 with "Applause." While the lead single from "ARTPOP," due Nov. 11, jumps 31-22 on Radio Songs (47 million, up 19%), it slides 4-6 on Digital Songs (160,000, down 25%; like "Roar," it logs a retail decrease after it experienced a post-VMAs bump last week). On Streaming Songs, it descends 6-11 (3.2 million, down 25%).

Drake freshens up the Hot 100's top tier by tallying his 13th top 10, as "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan) advances 12-8. The track sports gains on Radio Songs (15-12; 73 million, up 25%) and Streaming Songs (20-14; 2.7 million, up 17%). It edges 10-9 on Digital Songs but with a 10% loss to 127,000.

After reaching a high of No. 8 two weeks ago, Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound" returns to the Hot 100's top 10 (11-9). 54% of its chart points are from airplay (the highest percentage of any title in the top 10 this week), as it bullets at No. 3 on Radio Songs (116 million, up 8%).

Closing out the Hot 100's top 10, Eminem's "Berzerk" tumbles from No. 3, where it debuted last week. It registers a 48% drop in sales to 187,000 (a not atypical second-week plunge for a song by a star act that makes a splashy sales start before airplay and streaming have yet to catch up). Still, the lead single from the rapper's album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" climbs 59-49 on Radio Songs (26 million, up 24%). It drops 13-15 on Streaming Songs (2.6 million, down 3%).

Two songs depart the Hot 100's top 10: Miley Cyrus' No. 2 hit "We Can't Stop" (4-11) and Imagine Dragons' No. 3-peaking "Radioactive" (9-12). Following the record-breaking start for the video for Cyrus' next single, "Wrecking Ball," on VEVO, the ballad seems likely to vault toward the upper reaches of next week's Hot 100. Watch for details later this week on where the song could rank next week following the compilation of more building data.

Meanwhile, visit Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 12), 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. The latest charts will also appear in the next issue of Billboard magazine (on sale on Friday, Sept. 13).
