A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera's "Say Something" rises 4-2 with 241,000 (down 32%).

Double platinum next week

I think its ok formula.
But Sales should be at least 50-60%

People with this thought process don't realize that songs like Live While Were Young, Best Song Ever, Today Was A Fairytale, etc... all would have gone #1. And think songs like that would be less deserving than The Monster because they only spent 1 week top 10 but were front loaded... The formula is fine as is

Just glancing that post quickly, I thought that 4-2 move was the Hot 100 for a second and had a mild heart attack

[NewRihannaStan]

Airplay was a big factor in the formula. Try Again was the first song to go to number based solely on airplay

Lorde has one hugely successful song, tho I'm sure Team will do well. Besides, Royals is like CMM and STIUTK, it's an anomaly. Katy's having another 4 million selling single (soon to be 5 ) 6 years into her career, there's a difference. Katy's is more impressive.

Lorde is slaying.

But the fact that Roar is coming for Firework's wig, i think nobody was expecting that. She already has so many 4/5M sellers

Monster again #1 on hot 100. lets just wait.

Sales should easily be 50-60% in the BB formula. A songs popularity is determined by not only streaming, as that is an optional tactic to listen to the song by the listener, but also through sales. (People buy the songs that they like, thus the more a song sells, the more popular it is.) Radio's % need to be brought down significantly. There are so many cases in which there are songs perched at the top of the chart that people are sick of hearing, especially when the radio plays them on the hour over and over again. Radio is the one source of music that people cannot control, thus it should have a far smaller impact on charting positions.

Congrats Pitbull & Kesha,
Lorde and Katy Perry have the longetivity ...
Now i want Timber or Couting stars at #1 of Billboard hot 100

[mowino]

Will Roar and Royals get 6 million by summer????

I think BB has done (or is doing) a good job in reducing the airplay effect on the Hot 100. Now, it isn't as easy as it was 1-2 years ago to sneak into the top ten with huge airplay and negligible streams/sales. Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) is a great example of this - top 5 on radio, but no where in the top 15/20 on digital or streaming. With today's formula, there seems to be a tighter restriction on airplay's influence. Maroon 5's Love Somebody probably would have logged multiple weeks in the top ten last year since it ended up going top 2 (!!!) on radio with mediocre sales and poor streams under the old formula.

Yes, we would end up with more Part of Mes if we jacked up the formula to focus on sales.
Even as a Taylor fan, I don't think Fairytale deserved a #1 given how quickly it fell.

Ke$ha sure has luck with Christmas. She now had 3 different songs that scored 300k twice thanks to Xmas week, and the week afterwards.
If one were to count Right Round, she is now ahead of Rihanna on that score - with all 3 of Rihanna's being featured spots.

They didn't actually reduce the weight to what it used to be before early 2012 right? They just added streaming in so that would offset things more. Or did they adjust the weight again?

I don't know if it was actually reduced for sure, but I feel like the addition of streaming has offset it quite a bit.

[ClashAndBurn]

I remember them saying that they actually took influence away from sales for streaming to fit into the "pie."

That's TiK ToK, We R Who We R and Timber right?

I think Die Young's highest week was just at 299k

[Reb'l Rêveur]

Im tired of waiting. It's 3am already here in my country. I need the top 10 Billboard!

Do @Eminem & @rihanna remain atop the @billboard Hot 100, or do @pitbull & @keshasuxx take over with "Timber"? And the winner is ...
