"California Gurls" came 15 weeks before Teenage Dream, with "Teenage Dream" coming 5 weeks before.

"Roar" was released 11 weeks before PRISM. Using the same schedule as last era, this would put the second single being released the week before the album, which is likely. It might even happen sooner as "Roar" took off much faster than "California Gurls," which still came at a pretty fast pace.

They took off at the same pace according to Billboard…. and if you think about it on both the Pop Airplay and the HOT 100.

California Gurls is such a better song than Roar tho.

[HolidayGuy]

^I prefer "Roar" to CG myself.

[forg]

Miley's antics annoy me but Wrecking Ball is such a good song that I do feel that it deserves to be her first #1 despite being fueled by controversy. Gotta give it to her and her management, never thought that vshe would outshine the likes of Lady GaGa in making noise in music videos this year

[imbondz]

Party In The USA and The Climb are better songs than Wrecking Ball. Those would have been better #1 songs, they'll stand up a little longer over time, just because they're fun and pure pop. Wrecking Ball will be totally forgotten. But, glad she's going to get a #1 song.

[Me. I Am l!nk!nfan815...]

California Gurls = Roar = Party In The USA = The Climb = All Garbage. My math never lies.

Your math never lies but always fails....

[kingofpain]

Party In The USA seems like a song that gets radio play every July 4... so it has kinda become immortalized. The Climb... meh, maybe some AC play, but I don't recall the last time I actually heard it play as a recurrent on a pop station.

[Me. I Am l!nk!nfan815...]

But if it never lies how can it fail? And don't talk to your professor like that. Get out of my class!

"Right Round"? just four weeks.

I think nothing. "Love The Way You Lie" debuted with 338k, fell to 283k and then sold over 300k for four more weeks.

Well if 'Wrecking Ball' is going to be the forgotten Miley Cyrus song by the 'general public' it is not going to happen that way any time soon ;)

[Rocky]

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" soars from No. 10 to No. 1 with 477,000 downloads sold—the second-largest sales week of the year for a song. The track rises to the top with a 312% gain in the wake of its Sept. 9 music video premiere. Only one song this year has sold more in a week: Katy Perry's "Roar," which debuted at No. 1 with 557,000. This week, "Roar" slips from No. 1 to No. 2 with 331,000, down 11%.

Lorde's "Royals" is also pushed back one position, despite a sales gain of 17%. It falls 2-3 with 263,000. Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is forced down as well, though it gains by 3%. It moves 3-4 with 202,000.

Lady Gaga's "Applause" rises 6-5 with 184,000 following the diva's performance of the track on ABC's "Good Morning America" (Sept. 9) and stopping by Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" (Sept. 11). Eminem's "Berzerk" slips 4-6 with 165,000 (down 12%). Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake, is steady at No. 7 with 146,000 (down 8%). Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home," featuring Majid Jordan, rises one slot to No. 8 with 143,000 (up 13%).

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Pharrell and T.I., descends four positions to No. 9 with 123,000 (down 27%). Rounding out the top 10 is Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness," moving 8-10 with 118,000 (down 7%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.1 million downloads, down 1% compared with last week (22.3 million) and down 4% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (22.9 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 932.4 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (962.4 million).


Poor Robin. :(

[RadioBeatz]

Wait a minute, "Hold On, We're Going Home" is already approaching top 5? >_> wow, so fast.

Drake as a singer >>>>>>>>>> Drake as a rapper. Hold On slays started from the bottom, the motto and all of that crap.

Right Round: 636.303 + 459.740 + 334.312 + 319.294 + 277.761 = 2,027,410
Roar: 557 + 392 + 448 + 373 + 331 = 2,101,000

Highest first 5 week total for any song.  She had the highest first 4 week total last week, but this week is more interesting since she passes 2 million (fastest to pass it).

Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' Swings Atop Hot 100

By Gary Trust, New York | September 18, 2013 12:38 PM EDT

The song becomes Cyrus' first No. 1 on the chart, blasting 22-1 on the strength of lofty streaming and sales totals following the release of its much buzzed-about video

Miley Cyrus smashes her way to her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, as "Wrecking Ball" rockets 22-1 with top Streaming and Sales Gainer honors. The song knocks Katy Perry's "Roar" out of the top spot after two weeks.

Cyrus previously rose as high as No. 2 on the Hot 100 with two songs: prior single "We Can't Stop" and 2009's "Party in the U.S.A."

Let's run down all the numbers for this week's top 10.

The suggestive video for "Ball" made a record-breaking start, drawing 19.3 million global VEVO views in its first 24 hours following its Sept. 9 posting. With the Hot 100's streaming component encompassing U.S.-only views for VEVO videos on YouTube, among streams on other services, the song soars 21-1 on Streaming Songs with a 1,565% gain to 36.5 million streams in the chart's tracking week, according to Nielsen BDS. Of that sum 92% are from YouTube views.



"Ball" concurrently crowns the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart, vaulting 18-1 with a 275% increase to 2.8 million, the highest total in the chart's 18-month history.

Given the buzz surrounding "Ball" and its video, it's no surprise that the song charges 10-1 on Digital Songs with 477,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (It's her second Digital Songs No. 1, following "Party," which led for six weeks.) The sum is a new best for Cyrus, passing the 285,000 that "Party" sold over Christmas week 2009. It's also the second-best total this year: Perry's "Roar" opened with 557,000 four weeks ago.

With RCA Records having just begun promoting the song to radio last week, "Ball" is just getting rolling in airplay. It starts on Radio Songs at No. 59 with 21 million all-format audience impressions (up 327%), according to BDS. On Pop Songs, "Ball" bows at No. 35.

(Extra bragging rights: While Cyrus was already one of three members of her family to have reached the Hot 100's top 10, she's the first to top the tally. Her dad Billy Ray climbed to No. 4 with "Achy Breaky Heart" in 1992 (four months before Miley was born) and brother Trace rose to No. 10 as part of Metro Station with "Shake It" in 2008.)

"Ball" soars to the Hot 100's summit with an almost two-to-one lead in overall chart points (up 700%) over Perry's "Roar" (down 10%) after the latter led the list the last two weeks. Still, "Roar" (1-2) claims the Hot 100's Airplay Gainer award for a third consecutive week. It holds at No. 2 on Radio Songs with a 20% lift to 148 million.

Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Katy Perry: Whose New Song Is Best?

Last week, "Roar" benefitted from the premiere of its video on Sept. 5, which helped spur a 33% gain in streaming. This week, "Roar" backtracks 1-2 on Streaming Songs (8.9 million, down 26%) and 1-2 Digital Songs (331,000, down 11%).

As previously reported, Perry ties the record for the most No. 1s (10) on Pop Songs, where "Roar" rumbles 5-1.

Lorde makes it three women in the Hot 100's top three, as "Royals" ranks at No. 3 for a second week. The song shows a 17% increase to 263,000 downloads sold (although it retreats 2-3 on Digital Songs); jumps 8-5 on Streaming Songs (5 million, up 25%); and reaches the Radio Songs top 10 (13-5; 89 million, up 25%). As reported Monday, with its sixth week atop Alternative Songs, "Royals" becomes the longest-leading No. 1 by a lead woman in the chart's 25-year history, passing Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." "Royals" tops Hot Rock Songs for a third week.

(How notable is an all-girls club in the Hot 100's top three positions? Women billed as leads hadn't monopolized the top region in a year-and-a-half, with Perry also figuring into the last such occurrence: the week of March 3, 2012, her "Part of Me" debuted at No. 1, followed by Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" (2-2). Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" rose to No. 3 after re-entering at No. 7 the week before following her death.)

Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) descends 2-4 on the Hot 100 but logs an 11th week atop Radio Songs (175 million, down 10%). It leads R&B Songs for an 18th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a 15th frame.

Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" holds at No. 5 on the Hot 100 with across-the-board gains. It's up by 8% in streaming (to 4.3 million) and 3% in sales (to 202,000). On Radio Songs, it flies into the top 10 (16-7) with a 27% rise to 87 million. The track tops Dance/Electronic Songs for a second week.

Jay Z's "Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake) slips 4-6 on the Hot 100, despite increasing by 13% in airplay to 116 million. It rules Rap Songs for a seventh week.

Like Avicii, Lady Gaga advances in all three Hot 100 measurement metrics with "Applause" (7-7). It lifts 6-5 on Digital Songs (184,000, up 15%), 11-9 on Streaming Songs (3.7 million, up 16%) and 22-18 on Radio Songs (59 million, up 26%).

Eminem's "Berzerk" rebounds 10-8 on the Hot 100 after it fell last week from its No. 3 debut rank (a typical second-week plummet for a song that makes a flashy sales start before its airplay and streaming levels rise). This week, the track pounces 15-3 on Streaming Songs (5.5 million, up 111%) after its official video premiered on Sept. 9. It rises 49-42 on Radio Songs (29 million, up 11%) but regresses 4-6 on Digital Songs (165,000, down 12%).

Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan) dips 8-9 on the Hot 100 but reaches the Radio Songs top 10 (12-8; 87 million, up 19%). It rises 9-8 on Digital Songs (143,000, up 13%) and bullets at No. 14 on Streaming Songs (2.8 million, up 3%).

Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness" rounds out the Hot 100's top 10. Although it falls four spots from its No. 6 peak, it gains by 9% in airplay to 88 million and pushes 8-6 on Radio Songs.

Visit Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 19), 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. 20).

"Roar" tops the 2 million mark in sales this week.

Great sales for Miley :o I'm sure pop radio will do a better job with WB than they did with WCS. :)

"Wrecking Ball" at #1:

The 8th new #1 this year.
The 3rd #1 by a female this year.
The 50th #1 in the 2010s.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

It doesn't matter if pop gets on board with this song or not at this point. Miley achieved her goal. Congrats on a well deserved #1.

[moore746]

Two #1s so far this year for Dr. Luke. More than he can say for 2012...

[Enigma.]

This week was so competitive!

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

Molly slaying with a 2:1 lead in overall points.

So happy for her. Let's hope she can gets second week.

[HolidayGuy]

Pop's already getting on board with 'Wrecking Ball"- it's making very nice gains.
