What makes Gangnam Style rebound back from outside top 10 into the top 5 in UK?

This was his first week of promo over here. He has a televised performance on a talk show tomorrow so he'll probably go even higher. But saying that, there are a lot of very strong releases tomorrow which will likely go top 5 so Psy might not actually increase position wise.

A bit better but doesn't say much since PP is horrid as it gets

Kesha, Bruno and M5 are not competition? Okay.

That M5 song is older than dirt and to a women of Rihanna's "status" two artists who debuted 3 years ago and are on their second albums should not be competition to her.

Thank you.

I feel like I'm not in UK anymore since I sold my TV last month.

You cannot be serious. You sound just like that infamous Queen on That Grape Juice.

Well, Rigalo's right. The other artists shouldn't be competition for her. She has the promo slots and the token airplay from Urban whereas Kesha and Bruno don't.

Kesha will perform at the AMA's, not sure about Bruno. Also we all saw what effect on sales had Rih's previous SNL perfomance.

Since when does Urban play effect Itunes sales?

50. Anything Could Happen
52. Anything Could Happen
Both are now charting.

If Rihanna hits #1 she'll be kicked off the spot again with PSY performing at the AMAs.

It almost usually doesn't, but Rihanna has an upper hand in accumulating more airplay points which, now, is the most significant piece in calculating the Hot 100.

We don't care cause, Diamonds would've been #1 for the full week, which would guarantee her the #1 spot on Billboard!!

Hopefully Diamonds can finally reach that #1 on iTunes tonight!

and PSY is not a threat anymore...It's airplay is dropping like mad crazy.

The time of their debut isn't really a factor. Kesha and Bruno are still competition, stop being delusional

Is Diamonds really garuenteed #1? Where did that even come from?

[FAN]

If Rihanna's gunna have higher airplay than Ke$ha, she might as well have higher sales too. I hate when the ratio is off. Makes the song look so undeserving to be #1.

2 weeks ago, Billboard said that M5 and Psy were separated by 600 points. That's when PSY was #1 on Streaming airplay was near 70+ million (give or take) and #1 on iTunes. (220+k)

Rihanna is now or should be #1 on Streaming, w/ #2 or even #1 on iTunes sales should be 170-220k. Then her airplay is closing the gap each and every week w/ M5.

This week...she should be at #2...if her sales get a small boost from SNL 2mrw.

If she gets that #1 advantage on iTunes...then she will be on course to get the #1 easily.
