Didn't it take "Tik Tok" forever to take off? I seem to remember seeing banners for that song back during the summer or early fall. I don't know about "Fireflies" but I also seem to remember "Just Dance" taking it's sweet time up the charts as well. In fact, I distinctly remember thinking it was a flop early in its run. TiK ToK took forever to take off on radio. But it already entered the top 40 on iTunes in the beginning of October when it was about to reach top 50 on CHR. Fireflies was top 20 on iTunes while it wasn't even top 30 on CHR. Just Dance had sold almost 500,000 already when it finally reached top 50 on CHR. The point is that these huge hits always manage to make waves before the massive airplay comes. WWFM got the top 40 on CHR much faster than those songs did, and if it has a problem now then other songs like "Carry Out" and "Imma Be" that already passed WWFM in CHR also have this problem.. I don't expect WWFM to stabilize in Itunes before its music video is released.

I don't expect the song to peak before the end of February so some of you better be a bit more patient. I'm going to need a lot of patience to get through this freeze. Z100 are repeating a top 100 of 2009 chart until Saturday morning and WWFM is too new to be included, so they won't spin it again until Saturday, and they are not the only station that is doing or will do those 2009 charts this coming week.. I hate this freeze already.. hehe i was like that at first too but after being on this board for 6 years i am used to it now. yup, it will take like a month fort things to get back to normal. Patience.

I've been tracking Mediabase for a long time on and off before but never during a freeze yet..

I don't expect WWFM to stabilize in Itunes before its music video is released. Carry Out doesn't look good, that's true. Imma Be is a 4th single so its single sales don't matter that much. It's not like this song will flop, but #1 smash seems too optimistic given its sales so far, that's all I'm saying. We'll just have to see what happens in January. The video will help for sure, especially if it's as eye catching as the FYE video.

I think Sleepwalker could get further than WWFM though if it's released right after WWFM to keep the momentum. I wouldn't compare WWFM to songs like "In My Head" in Itunes either btw, since Jason Derulo's album wasn't released yet and Adam's has.

There's absolutely no way that it can suddenly drop out of the top 40. #35 is the lowest it can go at this point.

I don't see this doing much more than top 20 on HAC. It'll get that far because it sounds like a P!nk song, and HAC loves P!nk almost as much as they love Rob Thomas.
I have no clue about where this will peak on CHR. It could do anything.

Awesome song. Much better than FYE. Like Rihanna's Hard, I'm glad the label didn't start to freak out after the first single underperformed and quickly followed up with this.

Grrrrrrrr hope it's just a fluke update It's going to stay that way at least until Sunday update, because Z100 are continuing to repeat their top 100 chart until Saturday morning, so expect a large drop in AI tomorrow too. :'(

Down to #77 on iTunes. Seems a lot of 2009 hits are coming back up on there.

Whatever, I'm not gonna take any of the updates seriously until the freeze is over... (Plus it's still #34 on pop, so that's good)

I know I know but it took them like 2 weeks. Probably normal, but annoying.

#105 on iTunes ???
I guess it's not going to benefit much from the Christmas bump. :( At least it was one of the handful of songs with a positive update on Pop today (+15).

Considering it wasn't and won't be a part of any top 100 of 2009 chart, I think it makes sense that it drops in Itunes when older songs climb back because of those charts, but I'm glad it has a better update today than yesterday.

Thanks central80. Can anyone tell me why the Itunes store in the Itunes application has as different number? I appreciate your patience. I'm fairly new to this and having a lot of fun learning and watching the numbers.
