Posted November 3, 201014 yr http://www.billboard.com/photos/stylus/104344-kesha_617_409.jpg Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" is set to become just the 17th song (of 992 total) to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 when the chart is officially released tomorrow (Nov. 4). The track is the preview single from Ke$ha's forthcoming "Cannibal" album, set to be released on its own on Nov. 22 in addition to being packaged with her debut album, "Animal," in a deluxe edition titled "Animal Cannibal." "We R Who We R" shifts 280,000 downloads in its initial week at retail to easily rank at No. 1 on Digital Songs, knocking Far*East Movement's "Like a G6" (178,000, down 13%) to No. 2 on both that chart and the Hot 100. "Like a G6" topped the latter list for the past two weeks and had led Digital Songs for three non-consecutive frames. Ke$ha's track is also making an swift impact at radio, debuting at No. 49 on Radio Songs (up 81%) and jumping 36-23 on Pop Songs (up 124%). "We R Who We R" is the second title this year to start its chart life at No. 1, following Eminem's "Not Afraid" in May. Prior to Eminem's debut, Britney Spears had been the last artist to enter at No. 1, with "3" in October 2009. Ke$ha is no stranger to the top of the Hot 100. Earlier this year she became the 11th solo female to collect at least four Billboard Hot 100 top 10s from a debut album. First single "TiK ToK" topped the chart for nine weeks starting with the Hot 100 dated Jan. 2, 2010, followed by "Blah Blah Blah" (No. 7), "Take It Off" (No. 8) and "Your Love Is My Drug" (No. 4). In addition to those titles, Ke$ha had a top 10 appearance on 3OH!3's "My First Kiss" (No. 9) in May. LETS START SOME MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION UP IN HERE. Love her and this song.
November 3, 201014 yr I think she might just get a UK #1 with this! :o Good grief. I didn't think the song would be that popular!!
November 3, 201014 yr Author The question is now can she get a UK #1? I'm sure she would like it, but I think she will be more then ecstatic with just success in the USA. The UK is just a bonus for established American artists. http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_laz8y0bgAk1qb82q8o1_500.gif
November 3, 201014 yr She's going hard, the world is hers AND she's tearing it apart. Well done Ke$ha. :wub:
November 3, 201014 yr Great news! Of course she won't get a UK #1 with this song, an X Factor slot would create a lot of anger.
November 3, 201014 yr Great news! Of course she won't get a UK #1 with this song, an X Factor slot would create a lot of anger. How do you work this one out?
November 3, 201014 yr How do you work this one out? What do you mean? ^_^ Why I think it'd create anger? It'd project what happened with American Idol and "Blah blah blah". Edited November 3, 201014 yr by Mason
November 3, 201014 yr Great news, I adore Ke$ha and this song. I think it'll have similar success to 'TiK ToK' in the UK though, she's not really as popular here because there's too many bandwagon haters :(.
November 3, 201014 yr What do you mean? ^_^ Why I think it'd create anger? It'd project what happened with American Idol and "Blah blah blah". Not necessarily at all. She may not be huge in terms of album sales in the UK, but neither was Miley Cyrus and they got her on before because of the size of her profile and the fact she's huge in the US, and they have lower profile performers quite often... Edited November 3, 201014 yr by Silver Rocket
November 3, 201014 yr Interesting fact, its the 17th song to debut at #1 on the Hot 100 ^_^ And how can you compare Blah Blah Blah to We R Who We R o.O BBB is a nice enough song but, WRWWR>BBB
November 3, 201014 yr Not necessarily at all. She may not be huge in terms of album sales in the UK, but neither was Miley Cyrus and they got her on before because of the size of her profile and the fact she's huge in the US, and they have lower profile performers quite often... You do have a point, they had Britney mime at X Factor so why not :lol:
November 3, 201014 yr You do have a point, they had Britney mime at X Factor so why not :lol: Ke$ha doesnt mime...
November 3, 201014 yr Ke$ha doesnt mime... No, but she's not extremely talented-a-vocalist... that was my point. But heck, Katy Perry was on par with her a few weeks ago.
November 3, 201014 yr No, but she's not extremely talented-a-vocalist... that was my point. But heck, Katy Perry was on par with her a few weeks ago. If you hear some of her Unreleased demos then you'll see something other than the autotuned Ke$ha. Even on live performances.
November 3, 201014 yr Ke$ha is quite a good singer, she just doesn't showcase it in the singles she's released. 'Blind' is probably her best example of her vocals. I prefer that she has a distinctive voice and an outrageous personality, than being another boring diva.
November 3, 201014 yr The title track on 'Animal' is I think the best display of her 'natural' vocal on there, it's certainly not bad.
November 3, 201014 yr Author I LOVE HER VOICE! I think this is my favorite song by her after 'We R Who We R'. I love her vocals on this. afSKSzxhmts :wub:
