How much are we pegging "Diamonds" to sell this week? I want it to go No. 1, but it doesn't seem like she pulled too far ahead from anybody this week.
Only one who can fight for #1 is OMN and there is comfortable 30% lead, anybody else is doing almost the same or less in radio and in streaming Diamonds is #1, so only lead against Maroon 5 matters for her.
Will both versions of "A Thousand Years" count as one on Billboard?
If so, she has a huge lead.
I would believe so:
Quote:
"Billboard will treat re-recorded songs that bear no resemblance to the original recording as a separate and distinctive song for the purposes of chart tracking. The guidelines are lyric and melody: if neither element is similar to the original recording, the two versions will not be merged."
