5. Rihanna, "S&M," 2,700,000. This frisky song hit #1 in April, thanks to an assist from Britney Spears. It was Rihanna's 10th song to reach #1 (and her third in a row). The song sold an additional 107K copies in 2010.
19. Britney Spears, "Till The World Ends,"1,935,000 . This sleek dance smash reached #3, thanks to an assist from Ke$ha (who co-wrote it) and Nicki Minaj. It was Spears' follow-up to the chart-topping "Hold It Against Me."

The sales threshold for the YE Top 25 should be at around maybe 2.5 million (might be higher since digital sales seem to be bigger this year) with substantial airplay. So #1-#11 are in for sure. Give Me Everything and The Lazy Song are still selling well over 100K per week so they'll cross 2.5 million as well. Blow and Till The World Ends also might.
A note on Firework, Grenade, Perfect, **** You and some other 2010 releases is that sales for December 2010 will be counted for the Year-End countdown as well.

So S&M is already at 2.8 mil.
Should be 3x Platinum by August, and Only Girl should reach it by the next few weeks!

Did Just The Way You Are make last year's top 25? If not, Bruno, Rihanna and (possibly) Katy will all have three singles making the year-end.

No, you're thinking of Billboard's year-end ranking of Hot 100 hits. This list is based purely on Soundscan numbers and the final tallies won't be complete until the last tracking week of 2011 ends.

Katy Imagine if Firework was released this year. It would have blown everything out of the water.

Yeah, JTWYA made it at #18 last year. This year it will probably be below Top 50.

I was talking EXACTLY about Billboard's year-end Hot 100, I assume that's what Ace was referring to when she asked about "year-end."
