Also, Madonna gets another hit; the last time an official single did not become a hit was ten years ago for her.
Damaged’s at no. 26, while Show Stopper only peaked at no. 34.
Leavin’s at no. 22; Beautiful Soul, the only other Jesse charter, hit no. 6.
Britney gets her 19th top 20 hit! If she gets to no. 18, she’ll match Boys.
Pocketful of Sunshine no. 16, becoming Natasha’s second-highest-peaking after These Words at no. 2. Thanks, American Idol.
Someone asked for stats for certain other songs; compiled with the thread starter's stats, Wikipedia's stats, and Mediatraffic stats, here's some songs I found interesting to track:
... i know... that's what i'm arguing... not to long ago half of the songs on the list had an increase right after christmas with half the songs on the list passing 100,000 points in a week ... the same week when Apologize passed the 500 000 points in one week ... w/ all these crazy downloads i won't be surprised if a song has 600,000 points in a week anytime soon
*Apologize that song is BIG more bigger than Cher's Believe but i think they can't pass her.
*No One is a very very good song but it was so overrated and overplayed.
*I Like Bleeding Love but not too much...i think Leona Lewis is gonna be an One Hit Wonder
*Don't Stop The Music is great but never call my attention like other songs.
Usher gets his 3rd top 3 hit. Rihanna, debuting at no. 6, gets her 7th top 10 hit, with 5 of her songs having peaked higher.
