Why is shake it off playing on alt.?

My thoughts too. I'm beginning to wonder if WBT is gonna cause problems for SIO later on radio. It just doesn't wanna die.

I hope radio is smart enough to keep a classic like WBT on playlists and completely ignore garbage like SIO. SIO isn't even a 1 billionith as good as WBT

i guess the other formats wasnt big enough for WBT and SIO that they had to play her in alternative.

It's only 2 plays on alternative, not like every station is picking it up. WBT also has some alternative plays but I never mention them cause they're not significant.

cater 2 u is really moving on up...maybe a surprise hit.

is it bad that i actually like "wake up?" i can't STAND hilary duff but it's kind of addicting lol

"Cool" has really cooled off. I hope it picks up again.
Weezer looks like they will easily make the top 20 on Pop. Niicce.

I really am anxious to see when WBT will fall from #1 on the Hot 100. What song will knock it off the top spot? Everyone just says, "oh, it will be gone next week, no the next week....". Well, what song is going to knock it off and when?

How much longer do you think WBT will stay num. 1?

It really is very hard to say....

With combined impressions (airplay + downloads):

Combined Figures (Hot 100)
1. Mariah Carey - "We Belong Together" [257.14]
2. Rihanna - "Pon De Replay" [168.71]
3. ***** Cat Dolls - "Don't Cha" - [160.0 - Approx.]
4. Missy Elliott - "Lose Control" [134.452]
5. Bow Wow Ft. Omarion - "Let Me Hold You" [133.584]

That is a pretty big gap. "Let Me Hold You" has decent airplay but subpar download totals. and 2-4 don't have great airplay figures. The more I think about it, I don't think a song will be able to "knock off" Mariah per se. I think she will steadily decrease and another song will just so happen to be #1.

that's almost a 90 million audience imp. lead over #2. Mariah might be #1 for 20 weeks at this point

That's what I was thinking, maybe not 20, but she'll approach 16 again, there just isn't anything else out there touching WBT right now

It's crazy, isn't it?
But Kelly is only 373 spins behind. So at least BTHE can get a Pop #1 (hopefully) if Mariah won't surrender the Hot 100 throne.

"Hollaback Girl" is dropping much slower than I anticipated.
And it looks like The Killers are going to ride a sub +100 bullet right into the top 40!

Bow Wow is getting too much airplay on Rhythmic.

Let Me Hold You +835
Like You +764

What gives!?

This would be perfect!

Bow Wow & Ciara's "Like You" is going to be the song to usher out summer, and bring in the fall. It's pretty catchy - and I bet the people who usually like his songs are in love with this one.

im gald Mariah's not falling hard
