Rihanna's "S&M" holds at No. 2 for a third week on the Hot 100 while logging a second week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (123 million in audience, up 5%). Its digital sales decline by 11% to 141,000, although its sum is expected to soar next week, following Monday's (April 11) much -heralded release of its "Rih-mix" featuring Britney Spears. Industry prognosticators suggest that the combined versions of "S&M" may sell more than 200,000 downloads by week's end Sunday, April 17, which would mark a new weekly high for the song. (It sold as many as 178,000 the week of March 19).
They mentioned it again. 200,000 downloads? Really?
Hmmmm that would mean E.T.'s sales will take a huge drop since it sold like 350,000 this week and next week it'd sell less than 200,000. I won't make any predictions yet.
I can't wait for the meltdowns!
ATRL ain't ready for such backlash. If this doesn't reach No. 1, I'll leave this site for awhile and be back until May.
