I want Payphone to snatch one week and then plummet.

And don't forget that Wide Awake has a real possibility of going number one as well, so the competitive field is even more crowded.

I've discounted WA as a possibility until it shows more growth in digital sales, since they will be the key to it overtaking the other songs (CMM and Payphone seem too high for it to quickly beat them on radio).

i cant at so many songs vying for that top spot at the same time!!

its like the time after i gotta feeling let go of its reign! i hope the hot 100 #1 songs changes every week for the next few months, some coming back again but no one getting two consecutive weeks! #wishfulthinking!

I wouldn't mind a quick turnover rate for #1 singles in the upcoming weeks and months. I don't see why some people are so against it. Wasn't Just Dance or Pokerface only #1 for like 1 week? Now look at them..

Just Dance stayed for 3 weeks and that year we had Right Round, Boom Boom Pow, and I Gotta Feelin

Pker Face was also #2 for 1 week before and 8 consecutive weeks after being #1 for that one week. It was blocked by BEP.

Poker Face got a lucky break that week. If I remember correctly, the single version of Right Round was deleted for the album version to take over. Or something to that effect.

Wow @ Good Time. I guess I didn't realize how big Carly is at this point.

'Cause it's still uber-strong on radio and that exposure alone will get people to search for the song and buy it enough to get it back into the top ten.

Shame for fun. But if they had deleted WAY when the album came out, its sales might not have been quite as fortuitous, seeing as the album came into being just as it was starting to smash. From there, it might not have had as many weeks at number one, and Bieber would have gotten it with "Boyfriend"

Thankfully they didn't. That song is atrocious.

Payphone only really needs to sell a little more, and pass Carly on Radio...The streaming will make it very close though.

If they just peformed somewhere or sold the song for $.99 the rest of the week they could get the #1... It's a shame cause this week and next week may be its final chance

In the last few months of 2010, there were loads of songs getting #1. We R Who We R, What's My Name?, Raise Your Glass, Firework, Like a G6, Only Girl, etc. I don't think we'll get anything like that again, now that the chart has been slowed down.

I think the only way the charts can really speed up is if radio stations stopped overplaying songs so much (i.e. refreshed their playlists more frequently and/or more drastically).

And lots of massive hits never even reach #1. Again, in 2010, of the top 10 songs of the year, 5 of them (Need You Now, Hey Soul Sister, Airplanes, Bad Romance and Dynamite) never reached #1, and they were all obviously massive hits.
