but won't charting this week mean that she won't debut at #1?
Yes.. it will no longer be a debut
It's interesting though, like Ger55 says, if she debuts extremely low then she can have the "highest jump" to #1.
She would need to debut at 98-100 for that because Kelly has it from 97-1.
I didn't know you were able to hold back charting from airplay alone though. She might just choose to do that. It's probably something her label handles.
Born This Way (song) + Longevity do not mix well in the same sentence. but moving on, hopefully she won't debut in the Hot 100 this week, it would be cool a #1 debut in the streaming age.
This is about US charts. It sold ~1 million in its first week, got to 3 million by mid-year (50% of that within its first month) and 3.4 million by the end of 2011. Now it stands at 3.7 million. For a song that opened with 1 million copies in its first week and only ending beneath 4 million 18 months later.. is not longevity. It was front-loaded then went away.
Enough of her though. It will be interesting to see where the predictions stand by the weekend. Billboard should be continually updating if things get hot.
She is going to debut at #1 CMM is falling and Flo rida and PP still aren't strong enough to hold her. I'm so happy for her (even when I don't like the song).

She'll jump to number 1 on her second week.
I hate the fact that its mind-blowing Day 1 airplay would make her chart alot higher than MLWSWY. She won't have that highest jump.
they've had a free plan since october
Prepare for the slayage girls

Bothered?
