Adele is #3 now though! Wow.

[Ri_Ri_Rock]

Why is Adele increasing that much again? IS there any reason... She has like 0 airplay.

[Canonical Ensemble]

I hope Skyfall will have some longevity and get some second life on Pop radio.

Many here are eager to witness the fall of psy...

Not quite. I'm pretty sure most of them want a pop girl like Rihanna at number one on iTunes again because they don't like seeing male artists succeed in general. You're only one of few in here who seems pressed by Psy's success in particular.

It's not a flop though. It has the BIGGEST promo out all the Top 10 combined. It is the THEME song for one of the most anticipated and biggest films this year, not to mention it's played at the very beginning in full for opening credits AND the movie itself is named SKYFALL.

So I expected this, anything less...that would be appauling.

I have to admit, the movie is such big promo The song was played during the whole introduction of the movie Great rebound from Adele nevertheless.

You have to go to the movies to be exposed to that promotion, though. It's not like it's all over the radio or TV.

Not really, Adele's itunes position is irrelevant to Rihanna's chances of topping the hot 100

In America, Movies are a BIG DEAL. Especially for BIG Budgeted Movies...lol

Didn't even Pitbull's song End of Time stayed for a long time in top 10 cause of the movie? lol

Nope, not really. Adele isn't a contender AT ALL.

She virtually has little airplay + streaming

To be a BIG threat, you need airplay + streaming + digital.

I can't recall...but he's different. Adele is arguably the BIGGEST artist in the US and everyone craves her music. And 007 was promoted heavily..plus it's a great movie!
