So, if it flops, then it's not a single?

It was confirmed though.

Summer Love was not blessed with a video but it was a single

Rihanna keeps getting those sales and platinum certification
Both these songs are still doing really good on radio and are selling very well, so i think that Rihanna should wait until next year to release the 3rd single of Loud

Prediction
1. Firework 201 + 94 = 295
2. What's My Name? 135 + 116 = 251
3. Grenade 185 + 68 = 253
4. Raise Your Glass 129 + 107 = 236
5. Only Girl (In the World)
6. We R Who We R 125 + 73 = 198
7. Just the Way You Are 91 + 105 = 196
8. The Time (Dirty Bit) 150 + 43 = 193
9. Just a Dream
10. Bottoms Up 96 + 71 = 167

looks about right to me!!

but how come you dont have any #s for ONLY GIRL?

oh! Just a Dream.

I don't have sales for it & don't know what region it sold in. But it was #12-13 on iTunes all last week with a second version in the Top 200, which I think will be enough to put it back in the Top 5.

Prediction
Firework 201 + 94 = 295
What's My Name? 135 + 116 = 251
Grenade 185 + 68 = 253
Raise Your Glass 129 + 107 = 236
Only Girl (In the World) 85 + 117 = 202
We R Who We R 125 + 73 = 198
Just the Way You Are 91 + 105 = 196
The Time (Dirty Bit) 150 + 43 = 193
Just a Dream 85 + 95 = 180
Bottoms Up 96 + 71 = 167
Like a G6 85 + 71 = 156
Black & Yellow 110 + 44 = 154

Sorry, I had to edit my predicition. B&Y won't make the Top 10.

I forgot about JAD's existence. Ha.

^I think Like a G6 will be ahead too

(3)2. Bruno Mars - Grenade 185000 (+7%) 864000
(2)3. The Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) 150000 (-24%) 838000

(6)6. Ke$ha - We R Who We R 125000 (-7%) 1325000
(14)7. Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow 110000 Not sure about this one, my prediction is 650000-675000 total sales
(-)8. T.I. - That's All She Wrote (featuring Eminem) 109000 109000
(10)9. Trey Songz - Bottoms Up (featuring Nicki Minaj) 96000 (+3%) 1587000
(9)10. Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are 91000 (-6%) 2747000

All totals are accurate except for Black & Yellow.

I don't understand why some predictions have:

Rihanna/Drake at #2 and Bruno at #3! If Bruno has more points than Rihanna/Drake this week

Bruno 253 >>> Rihanna/Drake 251

Very close

A question guys, what do you think:

Is "The Time (Dirty Bit) flopping in the US?

Because it's doing AMAZING worldwide but in the U.S. just FINE!

mostly because Billboard uses a bigger radio panel... and WMN? is much bigger in radio... that's why it should come above in the end. Butas you say it can end up going either way

Yeah, you're right! I forgot that! Thanks

How is it flopping in the US? The song is Top 5 (#4 currently) and it's #1 Worldwide.

Yes, you're right! But remember they have the BEST SINGLE SELLER EVER! (I Gotta Feeling)
And The Time:

This week can drops from #4 to #7 or #8!

The sales down 24% this week and it's not increasing in iTunes!
The airplay is not so good! It's poor!

I love The Time (Dirty Bit) so much! It's just a question that i want to do it!

WMN? is gettin' closer and closer to PLATINUM!

And JTWYA to 3x Platinum

Good

Holy **** those are terrible. My sales estimations were at least 10-15K higher when making my Hot 100 predictions.

The Time isn't flopping. Its airplay could be better, but the digital sales are steady. It's doing quite well considering it's a terrible song.
