Yes. It outsold a lot of the biggest hits in 2013. Amazing longevity.

[M i x]

It goes recurrent when it's out of top 40 or to 50?

[umich]

top 50!

[toshibatoshiba]

I don't remember the rule but once a song fall off below 50 then it is no longer allowed to chart?

[toshibatoshiba]

Radioactive is now tied with Party Rock anthem. one more week to tie LeeAnn Rhimes.

[toshibatoshiba]

If it goes recurrent, do you still count the week's it's charting?

Yes, as long as it has spent more than 20 weeks on the chart. It still can chart if it falls out of Top 50 before then.

[toshibatoshiba]

it might stay in the chart for 2 to 3 more weeks. it's gonna surpass leeann rimes.
