I don't get why it's iTunes position is suffering, though.

Justin Timberlake Makes Historic Debut On Pop Songs Chart
'Suit & Tie' scores the most first-week plays for a title at the format and the highest debut by a male.
Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," featuring Jay-Z, makes a record-setting debut on Billboard's Pop Songs chart, which measures mainstream top 40 radio airplay, as monitored by Nielsen BDS, soaring in at No. 14. The song arrives with the highest first-week plays total in the chart's 20-year history and marks the highest bow for a song by a male artist.
"Suit" logged 6,045 plays in the Jan. 14-20 tracking week, with spins on all 157 of the Pop Songs chart's reporters, pushing it past Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," which opened (also at No. 14) with 4,602 plays the week of Feb. 26, 2011, for the highest debut-week plays sum on Pop Songs, which launched the week of Oct. 3, 1992. (The chart panel expanded from 141 to 157 reporters late last year.)
With its No. 14 arrival, "Suit" takes over as the highest-debuting song by a male artist in the Pop Songs chart's archives. It bests the No. 19 entrance of Jon Secada's "If You Go" the week of May 14, 1994. Among all acts, only Mariah Carey's "Dreamlover" launched at a higher rank (No. 12, Aug. 14, 1993); "Suit" and "Born" now share the mark for the second-highest lift-off among all artists.
Aiding the fast start for "Suit," several Clear Channel Media and Entertainment-owned Pop Songs panelists gave it top-of-the-hour plays last Monday (Jan. 14), while CBS Radio reporters played it heavily on its first day and stations in the Cumulus chain added it to rotation.
Based on its first two days of airplay when the Billboard Hot 100 airplay/sales/streaming hybrid chart was tabulated on Wednesday (16), "Suit" debuted at No. 84. With a full week of airplay and sales, the song could vault into the Hot 100's top five when the chart is refreshed on Wednesday (23) this week. According to RCA Records, the song sold 310,078 downloads in its first week (ending Jan. 20) - however, official sales figures will be released on Wednesday morning by Nielsen SoundScan.
"Over the years, we've come to expect the unexpected with Justin's music, which I think is fantastic," says Sharon Dastur, program director of Pop Songs panelist WHTZ New York. With its retro-soulful vibe, "'Suit & Tie' doesn't sound like anything else out in pop music right now and we can certainly use those kinds of songs. We welcome Justin back with open arms."
"Suit," the lead single from Timberlake's forthcoming third album, "The 20/20 Experience," concurrently roars onto the Rhythmic airplay chart at No. 14 and Adult Pop Songs at No. 22.

These 'payola' comments don't make any sense since most of ATRL's faves had that kind of radio deals too. Justin is definitely not the first to have one, but is THE one who has broken all of these records.

You're kidding yourself if you legitimately think this makes no sense. Does it matter if our faves had a radio deal? Nope.(Mine hasn't though!!)
The fact that Justin has a radio deal throws out the significance of him breaking any record regarding radio with this song since it's PAID for............

funny because no one was fuming. People are just acknowledging that the song has a radio deal and wouldn't have come close to breaking ANY radio record if it didn't have it
isn't it ironic how it's increasing on radio and dropping like a rock on iTunes? So much for that "one-day" radio deal

Youre really pressed. It was a one day radio deal and it has had phenomenal radio updates. Its doing better than judas, ydo, give me all your luving, etc.
Quit making **** up. Its been top 10 on itunes the entire time and appeals to 4 different radio markets whi h is why its getting huge updates. Kesha achieved 30 million ai for cmon with it not cracking the top 100 on itunes no one accused it of payola.
Stay pressed.

Yes. Seems the sales are going to be front loaded too.

With the increasing prominence of radio deals, I expect these records to get broken frequently from now on.

It's nothing to be proud of knowing that his label paid for it

Yeah. I'm not surprised or impressed anymore. This is going to be a normal thing for big named artists.
But congrats to JT. He still did it.

lol, fans of justified, a r&b/pop album didnt like the pop sexyback when it came out. people said it wouldnt go anywhere because you couldnt even tell that it was justin. Pretty sure he did just fine. Now the fans of the Pop/R&B FS/LS are saying the r&b record wont go anywhere.
