In the last two updates SYA went from a dark green to a light green to a neutral...could this mean it has peaked? Well except for when it increases again after The Voice performance...if it starts getting the reds then it won't have enough sales for #1...it needs at least about 450k to have a chance. the voice performance could really push it. I doubt it'll push it over 400k. I'm guessing if stays at a consistent rate it'll be 385k No doubt. Look what it did for Blurred Lines. Song was selling decently then after the Voice performance it started getting those massive radio updates...for months! As much as I'd love for UF to at least tie the record, just think the UF balloon is rapidly deflating every second. |

Id like to believe youre right. As I and others said, it's still only Tues. If it had the constant massive dark green updates basically almost the whole week its 100% done deal. Unfortunately, still thinking it is for UF but there's def. more than a few besides you who think (based on airplay, streaming and if the green gains dont continue theres still a slim chance for UF) :) |

"Uptown Funk!" may actually be down to #5 in sales at the moment because of Flo Rida's 2 versions. Mark G has not posted in this thread in like 30 minutes or so, he may have found something else to do.  If he were here, he would say, let's wait and see if it holds up the rest of this week, even if it doesn't superior streaming and airplay will keep Uptown Funk at #1 for a 15th week. Did I get that right? lol How would u know he wasnt here (along w/ all the others who liked ur post) unless you all were here yourselves for at least the last 30 min ;) |

I think the thread for Harlem Shake's 1st week reached more than 20 or 30 pages.

That's funny considering UF is on its 14th week at #1 lol...maybe both can get a record of 17? ;) EDIT: nvm lol apparently the Harlem Shake first week at #1 thread got 20-30...I can see why it would -___- ok I would rather not go there lol it impacts my nerves too much. |

The thread at the time was starting to slow down. I thought maybe it was because Mark G finally went outside to get some fresh air or something. Oh well. |

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not actually on this site 24/7  Anyway, if SYA doesn't end up taking the #1 with its huge sales then it still follows as before that the current songs (Sugar, EI, GDFR, SUAD, etc.) may not be able to get there in time before UF gets the 17th week. |

Let's say the Wiz song takes a nosedive, Shut Up and Dance also has a sales lead of Uptown Funk.
3 weeks is a long time, considering the decline has already started.
It still follows that 17 weeks is a possibility but I would not bet money on it at this point.

Well technically as of now UF is still ahead of SUAD in sales because of the second version just below the top 100 and SUAD would need a much, much bigger sales lead to make up for the airplay and streaming (it hasn't been doing so well in streaming yet). Keep in mind that SUAD isn't even in the top 10 yet and still has a long way to go I'm terms of overall points before passing UF these next couple of weeks will be very interesting to watch... |

One of your other contenders has two versions in the top 40 ('Sugar'). You decide if that is higher than Uptown Funk or not.
Assuming 14 weeks is official. There is still 3 to go. This is looking like it will be over long before then.

I still don't see how 400k is at all possible unless UF's combined pop bars drop down to like .2 or lower. Again, we can safely predict UF isn't selling much more than 100k this week based on its recent trajectory, or maybe not even that much. The combined pop bars of UF are roughly at 1/3 of what SYA is at right now. Meaning SYA should sell roughly 3x as much as UF next week if it keeps that lead up over the week. 400k would require it selling at least 4x as much, and that would need to start happening soon since we're already getting ready to enter the third day of the sales week.

Sugar is on the decline as well though (other than in airplay, which it probably won't be ahead in for at least another week) and its streaming is far behind that of UF. It would likewise need a bigger lead in sales and/or airplay to make up for that. This would, of course, be very likely if not for Sugar already having peaked. In overall points, UF still has a sizable lead over Sugar.

Sugar is officially toast I'd say as a #1 contender. If SYA weren't around right now I think UF would have 17 weeks in the bag. Nothing else can really seem to challenge it.

One Sweet Day lost its bullet in its 9th week.
Declines mean nothing if you are THAT far ahead of the pack.
Fingers crossed; I've waited 19 years for this.

Thats a very good point which I forgot to take into account! SYA was barely at 2x of UF at the beginning of the tracking week. Without a video generating many views where they count for streaming, SYA needs to continue getting greens for the rest of the week (at least mostly) in order to sell enough for a shot at Hot 100 #1. That is, it would need at least 450k. I'm guessing it sold about 100k in these first two days which means it would need to average 70k/day in the remaining five, or in other words almost 4x as much as the next-highest song. In the last iTunes pop bars update UF went from 0.2728 to 0.2742 :O let's see if Tuesday night $5 special price for movies gets SYA back up... |

Even though I absolutely do not want SYA to stop UF this close to the record, it is fun having a real challenger for once. It's been forever.

So basically UF's 15th week is based on how large the gain for SYA is by the voice.

Now I just hope that Taylor doesn't drop the Bad Blood remix within the next two weeks or the record for UF likely will be toast.

SYA is def more r&b/pop (with crossover appeal) but obviously there's an urban touch to it as there's rapping in it. BBHMM is ALL urban. Forget about #1, assuming it falls from there after this week, anyone else think UF has chance to actually fall out of the top 2 (or lower). Meaning are Sugar and even LMLYD gaining enough to possibly be higher? I think Earned It is def. is not as red hot as it was a week ago. No, I don't see it happening at all. |

I was wanting Sugar to hit #1 but doesn't look like that's happening.

#4 on iTunes. Still quite early in the tracking week. A continued free fall on the sales chart like this and it won't matter much about airplay and streaming

I can't believe Candy Shop had nine weeks at the top; I didn't recall it lasting that long. Talk about #1s that are barely remembered... My son was born the last week of its run. At 10 years old, he is more than thrilled that a song called Candy Shop was #1 for his birthday. |

What's the lowest sales ranking a song has had recently while still being #1 on the hot 100? Just last year (chart date 08.30.14), "Rude" was No. 1 on the Hot 100 and No. 7 on Digital Songs. It wasn't No. 1 on any of the main component charts that week. Looking back further, "Wrecking Ball" was No. 1 on the Hot 100 and No. 9 on Digital Songs (12.14.13, the week of the parody-video-rebound.) |
