Crying at The Fox being top 10.

I just can't at it jumping over Applause.

this made me LOL both times I read it. Not just applause but pretty much every song it passed

I am so glad for Lorde -- always thrills me to see someone sneak out of nowhere to outperform the "establishment" acts who have had well-oiled corporate machinery behind them for years.

(Which is not to say Lorde doesn't have a label working her, it's just that she doesn't have the advantage of name recognition and history.)

I think the advantage of novelty (in terms of new artist) is equally as beneficial because they are coming out with a clean slate that people can latch on to and labels can promote without having to compete with past image.

[HolidayGuy]

"Friday" was a real song- just not a good one. Some may have liked it, though.

[Deleted]

'The Fox' may not win a grammy for best song of the year but it is fun. That is what novelty songs are supposed to be

EXACTLY!!!

[HolidayGuy]

2m, surely you're not using the Grammys as a measure of greatness?

And, yes, "The Fox" is fun and goofy.

Of course... just ask the Big 4 legend, Christopher Cross.

[The Upper Hand]

Where will Britney be?

Somewhere in the 30s I think

[SPRΞΞ]

I love Christopher Cross.

[Deleted]

Yes Christopher Cross was great

A Grammy says you had a good year. What it doesn't do though is predict the future. Not everyone can have 30 years in the spotlight

[imbondz]

Christopher Cross album had great pop sings. Sailing. Insane song.

[tekkenguy]

Well, it looks like it's time for my hot 100 questions!
-Is "Royals" staying at #1 for next week, or does another song have a shot at dethroning it?
-Will "The Fox" enter the top 5 next week?
-Can "Dark Horse" and/or "Walking On Air" go top 10 next week?
-Will "Baby Blue" re-enter the Hot 100?
-Will "Work Bitch" go top 10 next week?

The following was posted at UKMix:


I can't at The Fox hijicking top 10 like that and pushing us one place down.

Being unknown is never an advantage on the charts. Ask the 99.9999% of musicians who will never spend a single week on the Hot 100.

[Au$tin]

^"Work Bitch" probably will be top ten next week because of streaming from the video.

OMG "Sail" a new peak in its 56th week, when will it stop? XD It'll beat "I'm Yours" tbh.

Does anyone know what the highest re-entries ever are?

Wiki has a list of highest jumps within the Hot 100, and #1 debuts. 23 seems very impressive re-entering at #11, which seems bigger than, say, an 80something spot jump, but I can't find a list anywhere. Off the top of my head, I'm guessing I Will Always Love You and Forget You are likely high on that list.

I think Control Myself (LL Cool J/Jennifer Lopez) holds that honor, re-entering at #4 in 2006.

[badrobot]

So, which song will last longer -- Radioactive or Sail?

I would've bet on Radioactive a few months ago but Sail is just chugging along endlessly it seems. I kinda like the song but would never have guessed it would appeal so broadly.

[Acid Eyes]

Watch Sail hit #1.

I loved Control Myself. Also Lose Control by Missy Elliott/Ciara was quite similar, and Ayo Technology too. I loved all those electro/techno songs from the mid-00s.

[Glove Slap]

Given that Take Back The Night never went above Mirrors in its whole chart run, does anyone know any other instances where a follow up singe was below its predecessor during its entire run on the charts?

Katy's Thinking Of You comes to mind, as well as Rihanna's Right Now.

[HolidayGuy]

"Cruise" also re-entered in the top 10 ,didn't it?

Yes, at #8. Then fell out of the top ten to return there a few weeks later.
