64. Too Close - Alex Clare

^ Seriously, how did this get so high? Pretty amazing considering he's not even relatively well-known (even in the UK)!!

 

Just noticed his video was released exactly 1 year ago. :o Never heard anything about him though.

Even with the release of an album, how come 1D aren't charting higher with Beautiful? they seem to be stuck at 10.

They were stuck at #11 until just recently :P

 

They've knocked Set Fire To The Rain out of the top 10 :( That'll probably only have a couple more weeks in the Hot 100 top 10 then... hopefully Calvin Harris can come up and knock One Direection out of the top 10 now before they climb any further. Although Rascal Flatts' 'Changed' (currently #22) will probably do that before Calvin.

 

Rolling In The Deep still at #31, I really hope it can stick around for long enough to become at least the second longest chart runner ever on the H100, if not the longest - tomorrow's chart will be its 62nd week and if it gets to 70 it'll be the 2nd longest ever.

63. Moments - One Direction

88. Stand Up - One Direction

92. What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

105. One Thing - One Direction

134. Gotta Be You (2012 US Version) - One Direction

138. What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

189. Up All Night - One Direction

207. Gotta Be You (2012 US Version) - One Direction

224. More Than This - One Direction

 

'What Makes You Beautiful' is probably about #9 when you combine the three versions since Katy only has the one(?) version of 'Part Of Me'. Thinking that 'One Thing' should edge into the Hot 100 next week with it's two versions, as long as they don't plunge too quickly.

Anyway, here's the new Digital Songs top 10 with sales:

 

1 [1] fun. feat. Janelle Monáe - We Are Young 322k (up 7%)

2 [2] The Wanted - Glad You Came 191k (down 7%)

3 [3] Kelly Clarkson - What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) 175k (down 11%)

4 [4] Nicki Minaj - Starships 163k (up 2%)

5 [5] Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 153k (up 3%)

6 [11] Flo Rida feat. Sia - Wild Ones 151k (up 44%)

7 [7] Katy Perry - Part Of Me 124k (down 13%)

8 [13] Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 118k (up 25%)

9 [6] Adele - Set Fire To The Rain 114k (down 21%)

10 [10] Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa feat. Bruno Mars - Young, Wild & Free 103k (down 6%)

 

Seven non-movers :drama: Disappointing to see The Wanted decreasing already, I hope they haven't peaked. Big drop for Adele as well and Gotye not increasing as fast as I'd hoped he would be :( Great to see fun. still increasing though, this is going to have BIG overall sales to say its airplay is nowhere near peaking yet. Also good to see Wild Ones finally starting to catch on in the USA.

Ah, so Adele's airplay lead is still too big meaning The Wanted should remain #4 officially but with The Wanted's airplay increasing whilst Adele is starting to decrease, they should overtake officially next week.

On the plus side, 'Glad You Came' has now sold a million! :D 1,003,000.

Just noticed Florence's Shake It Out is back at 55 :wub: anyone know why it got a boost?

I have a feeling it was sang on smash?

"Too Close" is apparently being used on the Internet Explorer 9 ad. At least that explains why it's in the top 100!

Thanks! You're right i just listened to it on you tube, terrible version of the song but good to see Flo getting some more exposure!

Glad to see Gotye back #3 after it dropped a few days ago.

Let's just hope more people buy the song than get the browser.

 

Gotye back in the top 3 :D

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful has just been removed from Us iTunes

 

79. One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

113. One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

I saw that (1D's beautiful ) being removed from iTunes. Why?!

Strange decision, they've lost their Top 10 effect for a while!

It's so people get the album version. It will recover in a day or two. But this kind of thing does have an effect on the charts... Deleting Flo Rida's Right Round midweek in 2009 gave Poker Face its 1 week at #1 :)

Set Fire To The Rain back in the top 10 by default then... :P

 

Calvin at #11 now, top 10 soon please! Rascal Flatts aren't climbing as fast as I assumed they would, still only #17.

Glad You Came has dropped to #3 and What Makes You Beautiful is #20.

Mixed emotions about Gotye climbing #2 and The Wanted #3

 

All-in-all a brilliant top 3 :wub:
