Tbh, the songs that are shaping up to be this year's early hits are Thrift Shop, Scream & Shout, Ho Hey, and maybe Don't You Worry Child. But the songs that are doing better on a worldwide scale are Scream & Shout then DYWC.
Are you counting Canada and Australia like the whole World in Beyoncé stans fashion or what?
Of course not. But it's presence will continue to grow over the next few months. They're coming into the Mainstream slower since they're relatively unknown, but countries will follow suit. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, etc. are just the beginning.
I hope the Queen and her team are taking notes this years on all the things everyone else will be doing. Promos, magazines, radio deals, Itunes deals. And use that to their advantage, and than DO IT BETTER.
That's the advantage coming in the 4th quarter, you get to steal
If you think about it, Britney did herself a favor by remaining boring as **** on X Factor. People will barely remember she was even on it in 3 years time which is AMAZING. Ready for #8. Play no games, Britney Jean.

David Bowie's comeback single, Where Are We Now?, will be eligible for this Sunday's UK charts, despite reports that the Official Charts Company had ruled it out of contention.
The confusion arose from the fact that anyone who has pre-ordered Bowie's album The Next Day has been given the song for free, and only paid-for songs are eligible for the chart. Now the Official Charts Company has announced that paid-for downloads of Bowie's song will make it a chart contender. However, it's dependent on retailers such as iTunes providing separate figures for paid-for downloads. The chart compilers had yesterday said they would be unable to separate free and paid-for downloads and would be unable to give it a chart position.
Where Are We Now? has been topping download charts across Europe since its surprise release on Tuesday morning, and now could become his fourth solo No 1, and his first since Let's Dance in 1983.
In the meantime, the 66-year-old's back catalogue is enjoying a little boost: The Best of Bowie has been hovering in the iTunes top 10 since Where Are We Now? was released, and HMV has announced it is expecting a sales spike with the renewed interest in the star.
• This article was amended on 10 January 2013. The original stated that Where Are We Now? could become Bowie's third solo No 1 and his first since Let's Dance in 1982 . This has been corrected.
But it's presence will continue to grow over the next few months. They're coming into the Mainstream slower since they're relatively unknown, but countries will follow suit. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, etc. are just the beginning.
