				Flo Rida's 'Whistle' Returns to No. 1 on Hot 100 
Flo Rida's "Whistle" returns to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week at No. 1, pushing Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" down to No. 2 after two weeks in charge.
  
After first leading the Hot 100 three weeks ago, "Whistle" returns to the top perch, fueled by a 5-3 rise on Radio Songs (89 million, up 10%, according to Nielsen BDS). It slips 3-4 on Digital Songs (161,000, down 10%, according to Nielsen SoundScan) and holds at No. 2 on On-Demand Songs (751,000 on-demand streams, down 3%, according to BDS).
  
"Whistle" wins a close race with Swift's "Never," as the former song decreases by just 1% in overall Hot 100 points and the latter slides by 11%. Once again, sales for "Never" drop, while the song's radio airplay continues to surge. "Never" spends a third week at No. 1 on Digital Songs with 253,000 downloads sold (down 18%). Despite its downturn, "Never" passes a million sold since its release (1.2 million). On Radio Songs, "Never" bounds 13-10 (71 million, up 6%) in its fourth week. The ascent to the Radio Songs top 10 marks Swift's fastest, besting her five-week climb with "Mine," the lead single from her last studio album, "Speak Now," in 2010. "Never," Swift's fifth Radio Songs top 10, previews her fourth studio set, "Red," due Oct. 22.
  
With the Hot 100 points gap between "Whistle" and "Never" slim, streaming helps decide the winner. While "Whistle" ranks at No. 2 on On-Demand Songs, "Never" has not yet been made available to on-demand streaming services that also contribute to the Hot 100's data sources. Thus, it does not yet rank on the On-Demand Songs streaming chart.
