I'm wondering the same thing. I think it may be because it's picking up on pop (at least I have heard it twice on two seperate Top 40 stations in the past week).

4 Rihanna - S&M 81.511

Closer to BTW.

I don't think so KRL, because otherwise other remixes EPs (with not too many) would also chart... Will they put up Born This Way normal version? Than it has 4 hmm hmm we'll have to see.

3. Born This Way

17 & 30. Forget You

3. CEE LO GREEN - F**k You (Forget You): 112.218 (+ 0.591)
4. LADY GAGA - Born This Way: 107.998 (- 0.091)


Sixth week on lock

1 Katy Perry - E.T. (feat. Kanye West) 100.000

2 Jennifer Lopez - On the Floor (feat. Pitbull) 91.356
-4.044
3 Lady GaGa - Born This Way 84.078
-3.022
4 Rihanna - S&M 81.511
-1.989
5 Ke$ha - Blow 67.357
-2.343

Not surprising. As Katy Perry grows more everyone else is going to decrease.

NOW would be the perfect time to release the E.T. video. By next week, and if the video will be released by then, it should have increased enough on radio to close the gap with BTW / FU and have a decent lead over them and top the BH100.

Already a good gap

At this point S&M probably has no chance at going #1 on billboard.

The chance is very small but it's still there.

No. Cee Lo isn't the competition anymore, it's Katy. She'll be #1 unless the remixes cause BTW to stabilize/increase for the rest of the week.

Katy won't sell enough over it. Next week she will probably be Top 3 on the Hot 100.

Could rihanna finally be #2 today or tomorrow?

I love how well its holding positions

The week has just started, and she's already built a good-sized lead, not even counting the additional version charting in the 50s. Not to mention she'll have nine days worth of updates to close the airplay gap.

When is Mirrors by Natalia Kills released in the UK? I've seen it on TV a few times and I went into River Island the other day and it was playing

Can someone post popbars with FY, WTH & E.T combined?

Latest I got are this: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6760/barrasusac.jpg (someone posted on Ukmix)

Katy would need to sell around 50K more than Gaga to go #1.

I think Katy will end up being number 1. She has a second version charting at 59 which probably adds 10% to her pop bar. So her lead over Gaga+S&M is at least 30% in pop bar difference. At this rate E.T. is expected to sell 60k more than S&M+BTW, so Katy will have enough over S&M this week but it will be close between her and Gaga...this is also taking into account that E.T. wont get a even bigger lead So yes I think E.T. going number 1 this week is very likely

The remixes won't help BTW with anything unless it features a new artist.

I did count in the version in the 50s, & even with her AI updates she'd have to sell 50K over GaGa to get the #1. That's going to be difficult, especially if the remixes are released (which will likely cause BTW to increase since I'm expecting nice advertisement - plus the remixes will count towards copies of BTW sold).

I think the 6th week will be BTW's last, then E.T. will take over next week.
