Eminem and Rihanna are the top two artists in the world.

This week's issue, so far, LTWYL is 4 points a head of CG. One day left for Radio counting, I guess the lead will increase to 7-8 points ahead. So far, LTWYL is #1. I don't think CG can get up to 7 streaming points this week.

Congrats for both

Airplay tracking ends Tuesday..........

Monday, January 1 – sales tracking-week begins
Sunday, January 7 – sales tracking-week ends

Wednesday, January 3 – airplay tracking-week begins
Tuesday, January 9 – airplay tracking-week ends

There is 3-4 pt difference this week, "Gurls" has big chance to last once more.

Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait one more day to discover. Aren't streaming points usually 1-2 pts only? And CG isn't getting that much of views anymore...

Streaming is 5%, so Idk i guess it depends on how big of streams they have. And they come from Yahoo.

No, they use Wednesday's numbers, which would be data from Wednesday-Tuesday. The Hot 100 is actually configured on Wednesdays, but it isn't published until Thursdays. It wasn't very long ago when we always had the Hot 100 on Wednesday nights, so there was no way Wednesday's data could be counted if the chart was made on Wednesday.

Streaming points could put "California Gurls" ahead, because it does have a video, while "Love the Way You Lie" does not. So I wouldn't be celebrating anything yet. If it isn't number one this week, though, I would definitely expect it to be next week.

And AOL. Hopefully soon, Vevo will be added to that list as well.

It was only a promo single.

Yeah, Vevo needs to be added.

I'm not really worried whether LTWYL is #1 this week or not, I never expected it to. But since the digital sales come out, I got my hopes up.

Not in the U.S. It was the official fourth single after "Rude Boy" in the U.S. It flopped badly, which sucks because the song was killer.

Definitely. Yahoo! and AOL's view counts combined only make up a very small fraction of what a video receives on Vevo!

[OriginalDoll05]

Yes..we can hope Billboard will make necessary upgrades in their system.

It can definitely be considered a promotional single since the music video was never sent to TV stations and most radio stations never even spun the song. Why wouldn't any of the big stations spin a new Rihanna song to test public reaction? I also read on the label that was sent to radio it read: "Rihanna - ROCKSTAR 101 FT. Slash Clean Edit Album Version Promo Only"

[EdicsonHades]

Great for Eminem

Eminem and Rihanna smashing the charts like I predicted when I heard the song for the first time
