True then again^

 

The way Billboard compiles their singles chart is nonsense as the singles chart should be all paid downloads or physical sales and not airplay...

Loving the longevity 'How to Love' is having!

Can't believe how well 'Pumped Up Kicks' is doing in the US! :o

I wish it could have that success here :( It's now dropping again on iTunes. But it probably is still set to re-peak this week and it is doing amazingly well for an 'alternative' song, especially since Foster The People aren't an established act.

Pumped Up Kicks MIGHT eventually get top 10 on the Hot 100, surely it's getting at least some airplay, at least enough to chart on 'Hot Alternative Songs' or something.

Do we know why Adele is so high with Set Fire To The Rain??

Pumped Up Kicks could easily make top 10 on BB hot 100. It peaked no 1 on alternative but it is still top three and holding well. And it has been climbing on pop top 40 and adult top 40 fairly quickly with a big bullet that keeps increasing. I doubt Katy Perry will get to no 1 if there will be no remix in the next two weeks because by then Lighters should have sped past it saleswise big time.

It's amazing. Over the past year I've gotten accustomed to most Lil Wayne songs shooting straight to #1 on the day of release and then falling really fast. :lol:

Wow. You and I already #77. That's really impressive over still very little airplay, and no music video yet. Unless it's been performed on TV again or something.

Great to see Adele SFTTR and SLY rising

She actually performed it on 3 TV shows :lol:

Someone Like You #39! It's see-sawing back and forth for dominance with SFTTR. :lol:

 

71. Lights (Bassnectar Remix) - Ellie Goulding <-- Not sure which of those two names I'm more shocked to see, Ellie or Bassnectar!! :w00t:

 

43. Ships in the Night - Mat Kearney <-- CLIMB!! :yahoo: Absolutely love this song. All of you should check out his album, too. Young Dumb and In Love is a great song.

Ooo Alexandra Stan is at #100 on iTunes at the moment :o

 

And Gaga's You and I is such a slow gainer -_-

Oh god, Ellie might get a Hot 100 hit :o

Oh god, Ellie might get a Hot 100 hit :o

 

And it's not even her debut single in the US :lol:

Oh god, Ellie might get a Hot 100 hit :o

 

:dance: :w00t:

 

I pray she will.

She's at 67 so she will get airplay if she continues to climb :D

Ellie's rising might help Starry Eyed when it's released too.
