Robin didn't expect for him to hit #1 this week, but his gains in all components where bigger than i expected. Glad GL is keeping well. Radioactive increasing , if only pop would have jumped earlier for it.
When Radioactive reaches the Top 5 (and it could be next week), it will smash the record for longest climb into the Top 5.
The only question left is whether the song can become the 'oldest' #1 ever. That title belongs to the Macarena, which ended a 14-week run at #1 on its 45th week on the chart.
I hope "Same Love" sneaks in the Top 10 before CHU falls out, which, I predict will be in late July.
Radioactive is gaining in sells, and it's currently #3 on iTunes, so the Top5 next week might happen.

no generic songs
This is gorgeous
Since Blurred Lines is the first pure R&B song in years to hit #1, I think it's time for a pure Alternative/Rock song and a pure Country song to top the chart.
, if only pop would have jumped earlier for it.
