I wait the whole song for the chorus to arrive..

Here you go, share your thoughts. There's always mixed opinions about which version is better. The version in this video though, I believe it's not mastered.

I kindda prefer J Cole's verses over Diddy's but the final mastered production on Diddy's track is obviously better! So I can't choose which one I like more!

Not Afraid this year and Crack a Bottle last year

They both had pop airplay and weren't exactly hardcore rap.

when they both went #1 they didnt even have airplay!! they both went #1 first week due to high sales.

and they are Rap.

Its not like 6F7F has no chorus.... better or worse it has a chorus.

there's no such thing as hardcore rap in the mainstream anymore.

[FAN]

Who cares if they didn't have pop airplay when they hit #1? they both got pop airplay in the end, something I doubt Wayne will have.

YEAH 3X is like frozen at #20

It matters coz we are talking about HipHop songs going #1. If they go #1 without pop Airplay and then never go back to #1 with Pop airplay... its ridiculous that you claim they had the support from mainstream radio....

Lil Wayne has had support from mainstream radios... Lollipop for example.

Honestly, I prefer Diddy's version. I think he has a more pleasant and a better rap delivery. (Also, the chorus sounds way better, but that could be due to cleaned up production.) Did J. Cole write the song?

[supaspaz]

I'm so happy for the success of "Coming Home." This is Diddy's best song since at least "Last Night," and is among the best he has ever done.

Grenade on the running for New Year iTunes #1

#4, #5 and #6 are VERY close. They should be wrapped in around 5K difference.

I guess The first 3 songs on iTunes must be around 210K-190K
#4,#5 and #6 are around 150K-145K
#7,#8,#9 and #10 should be around 120K-110K
#11,#12 and #13 should be around 100K-95K
#14, #15 and #16 should be around 85K-80K
#17,#18, #19 and #20 should be around 75K-70K

Yes. Alex Da Kid, Skylar Grey and J.Cole did, but it ended up being given to Diddy.

To be honest, I believe Diddy's version at the end is better only because we are hearing a mastered production versus one amateurish. J. Cole's voice when he starts to sing sounds far from mastered. But the verses alone are way better than Diddy's.

If given the treatment Diddy's version had, I believe overall, it would've been better.

I remember Crack a Bottle was somewhere in the 70s before it jumped to #1, so it didn't have much airplay and Not Afraid debuted at #1 with no airplay!

As zzmyth mentioned, any pop radio support they got afterwards didn't help them climb to #1

Wayne had will probably get little pop support but will benefit from urban play

177. Taio Cruz & Travie McCoy - Higher



The only single released today that's already in the Top 200. And version with No Travie, #96.
But the version with Travie will smash, because it's the one being sent for radio adds.

You'll see it's way coming.. because it's coming... .

considering that Dynamite is still Top20... I think this will go Top40 if it does good

[bobbymfw]

"Grenade" is close to 6F7F but "Firework" is also close to "Grenade" so the official battle for the top two will be intense.

Anyone else noticed "California Gurls" was reduced to $0.69? Teenage Dream will probably go on sale with a banner next week to scoop up those digital sales. If RCA is smart they'll do that with Cannibal too since that formula worked so well for Animal.

I'm still shocked at Dynamite's longevity at #19. Should've been dead long, long time ago..
