Yes, stay tunned 'cause Top 3 this week is going to battle for next week as well and it looks like Nicki has the better chance tbh

Really? How so when AATB more than doubled the sales of Anaconda this week? But I'll be proud if Nicki gets that #1 though. She deserves it!

All About That Bass still trumps in streaming and radio plays to secure a #1 on the Hot 100, no?

Nah, Taylor will beat her in streaming, and radio should be close. But Taylor also beats her in sales, so yeah.

Video + VMA boost, she would have that #1 on lock

NO.

Taylor and Nicki trump 'Bass' in the streaming department as they both released their new vids last week. We'll find out in a little while but 'Bass' looks to be #3 this week.

[K$Ellie]

1. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off (544,000; debut)
2. Megha Trainor - All About That Bass (283,000; up 18%)
4. Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora - Black Widow (142,000; up 14%)
9. Sia - Chandelier (96,000; up 3%)

Will Taylor's management team put SIO on Spotify this week?

[Hunter_13]

Death at people saying this is a huge decline when digital sales overall are down. Plus, 79,000 difference from WANEGBT isn't that bad.

She dropped it at the right time. IMO, video leading up to the VMAs was way better than VMAs then the video (see: Bang Bang, SCTGITY...). At least, it worked the best for Nicki.

I do wish she had released it a week earlier, but I have a feeling it wouldn't have done exactly the same. Nicki had people thirsty for the video and that two or so week wait really made people rush to see the video.

I already suspected this when all of those tracks suddenly collapsed on iTunes on Wednesday. But afterwards there were new pre-order tracks that charted normally, so...

Was last week's Best Mistake's digital #s totally in line with your expectations, as if Complete My Album wasn't a factor?

I mean, given how quickly it fell, its digital #s seemed to include instant grat sales.

No, I hate HDD for that reason. Sometimes, in the most important weeks they just don't update

[Whiskey Mouth]

Amazing for Taylor, I hope she gets that #1 single.

No, they seems to be not smart enough

[Nikolai.]

The worst #1 since The Monster

My Prediction -
1 - SIO
2 - AATB
3 - Anaconda
4 - SWM

I hope Boom Clap is Top 10 again

[Retro]

BAM. I want the girls saying it would do less than 440k to line up, front and CENTER.

ATONE for your sins.

That's one interpretation.

If Billboard had the current formula earlier, including Youtube, Trouble might have gone #1 even without Spotify. We'll see possible effects of their strategy in the future...
