I actually think Rude Boy might be the song of the year.
I just have that feeling.

Hey Soul Sister has sold more copies than both of these in 2010. It sold about 2.5 million this year, Rude Boy is only at about 1.2 million I think.

Appalling sales for a song that spent so long at "Number 1".

Rude Boy is at 1.6 Mill

Well, it was never the digital number one in the US which partially explains low sales.
This would be the perfect time to once again express my disdain for the American Hot 100 formula

That's why I said "number 1" In truth it never really was

Y_eah, Rihanna has had many legitimate #1s but Rude Boy is not one of them.

Here's this year's real number ones

Tik Tok

I knew Tik Tok was going to be number one from the minute it was posted on ATRL in July 2009
I stayed up till midnight for 3 weeks in a row until it was finally added to iTunes

I knew Ke$ha was The Queen of Pop since the very first time I heard her. I've got an ear for these things. Just like I was the only one who supported Lady Gaga back in 2008. Now everybody jumped on the bandwagoon

Lies. I was supporting her, so was Aliens & Rainbows.

I was first.

I heard of her through ATRL, someone mentioned her in the old Hot 100 thread along with the Ting Tings... That was in July/August 08, I've liked her since then but I was not the first, I hadn't even joined at that stage! Why did you stop supporting her? Rihannfan used to be a GaGa stan too, although I'm not complaining that he isn't one anymore...

I think I can claim I was one of the first people in the world to purchase The Fame
GaGa pre-released it in August 2008 to her loyal Canadian fans

I had to wait so long... It was the last week of '08 when I could finally download Just Dance, the week after I got the fame

I know, a while back when someone mentioned how Poker Face floated in the top 40 following the release of The Fame until it finally went number one, I was thinking how on earth did Poker Face spend like 6 months in the top 40 and then hit number one?
Until I looked up the UK release date of The Fame
Poker Face was released to Canada as a single in the beginning of September 2008

I think I was the first to support Kesha. I was the first to have a Kesha avatar when she was posted on ATRL during the summer. And I do recall having the signature: Dolla
