Was RITD not the biggest song of last year?

It was the top song of 2011, but that's not what I'm talking about. "Party Rock Anthem" (or was it one of Katy's hits?) - a dance/pop record - was #2 for the year. If Gotye and fun. secure the top two positions, then that would mean two alternative/indie songs represent the top two songs of the year. We haven't seen a top two without a dance/pop song in about five years.

But yes, this would be the second year in a row where the top song wasn't a dance-pop/electronic smash.

i'd be happy when WAY passes the torch to STIUTK

Gotye's first red update in forever. But he's close. I'd be so overwhelmed with national pride if he reaches #1. Would be the first Australian artist to do so.

*meanwhile jams to this*

I don't think We Are Young will be that high, since its only successful in the US. STIUTK have a shot, though. It's huge worldwide.

I think he's Belgian too

If it hits #1, I think Kimbra will be the first person from New Zealand to do so

Totally here for it so bad

I believe he was talking about US only.

We're talking about the U.S., and it looks likely that "We Are Young" will be the top song here.

Why are they waiting so long (May) to release WAY in the UK?

Why does EVERYTHING take so long to be released in the UK?

And if Rumor Has It smashs hard then we can see a top 3 without a dance/pop record

LOVE this song.

Gotye's Increase Next Week Will Be Pretty Big, Considering How Fun. May See An Increase Next Week Since It's Getting That Number 1 Exposure Back. (Plus It Seems To Be Getting Some Green Updates Still )

WTF just happened

I am not here for this rounding. This better be a glitch and not permanent.

[GoodMusicLover]

It has to be a temporary glitch. I mean come on what kind of misleading mess

37 Pitbull - International Love (feat. Chris Brown) 0.1500 0.1259
38 ADELE - Rumour Has It 0.1500 0.1608

He's as Australian as Olivia Newton-John, and she's had several number ones, including "Physical"...

However, Kimbra would be the first from New Zealand to manage the feat.

But by default iTunes doesn't actually show the popbars anymore, so I can see why it would be unnecessary for them to still calculate it at such a high detail level. Ugh it would be the end of an era. My sales estimates would also be even worse.
