Nahh.. Gaga's next lead single will debut at #1.. i mean she selled 440k singles in three days..

Bitch knows how to hype her stuff..

[Nicole]

Future songs can debut at #1.

This week the competition from WAY just happened to be huge.

It sold over 360k.

It's huge on radio.

Its streaming points are huge.

Other debuting songs won't always be facing this kind of competition.

Last single in a while. If Gaga hypes up her new single and GIVES IT A FULL WEEK she could possibly debut north of 700K, almost certainly giving it a number 1 debut (unless the song is stronger than WAY, which looks to be near unfathomable at this time).

Keep telling that to yourself, this time the hype will not even be comparable for what she left after The Fame Monster meanwhile she left with a sour note: Marry The Night.

For those who don't understand the new chart formula, here you go.

The Hot 100 formula, in addition to tracking terrestrial radio and digital track sales, will now account for the streaming data that makes up the On-Demand Songs chart, as well as non-demand radio streams from Rhapsody and Slacker. The chart rankings will also measure plays on video request service Akoo and audio on-demand streams from MySpace and Guvera. Yahoo! radio streams and Yahoo! on-demand video plays, which were previously part of the Hot 100 formula, will continue to contribute to the chart's ranking. The streaming data is provided to and processed by Nielsen BDS, which provides music research and monitoring services for the entertainment industry.

In other words, the chart weight of sales has been compromised by the inclusion of streaming points.

Billboard change their rules for calculating hot 100 at the right time. Kudos to fun. If jb bound to get that #1, he will get it in the upcoming weeks. No hurry.

Billboard, the publisher of the Hot 100 singles and other music charts, will be incorporating spins from on-demand streams from services such as Spotify, Rhapsody, Muve, MOG, Slacker and Rdio in determining which songs top the Hot 100 chart. It will also publish a new chart for top on-demand streaming tunes. The new data from streaming-music sites and subscription-music services will supplement radio-airplay ratings and digital song sales that currently define the chart.

Britney's next lead single will probably get a #1 debut.

But the video for Boyfriend is coming out soon, you guys think it will help the Biebs to get that badly wanted #1 spot?

Well look who actually ran to start this thread. They won't believe anything else.

Well, you were still in shock, so I had to do it.

[Gomez]

Let these wannabe indie kids bandwagon all they want, doesn't give them the second highest debut figures of all time

[Peep Show]

Can't believe how pathetic some of you are

His sales are impressive, none of the pop girls have done this so

[EmaciatedHooker]

So the new formula will make it harder for artists with large fanbases to debut at #1? Which means that people like Gaga, Taylor, and Justin will have a harder time and not an easy ride to the top?
