December 31, 201114 yr The activity of the best selling single around the world. World - Adele - Rolling in the Deep Australia - lmfao featuring Lauren Bennett and goonrock - party rock anthem Belgium - Adele - Rolling in the Deep Bulgaria - Katy Perry and Kane west - e.t. Canada - Adele - Rolling in the Deep Denmark - maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera - moves like jagger Netherlands - Alexis Jordan - happiness France - Adele - Rolling in the Deep Ireland - Adele - someone like you New Zealand - lmfao featuring Lauren Bennett and goonrock - party rock anthem Portugal - Adele - Rolling in the Deep Switzerland - Adele - Rolling in the Deep US Airplay - lmfao featuring Lauren Bennett and goonrock - party rock anthem US Singles - Adele - Rolling in the Deep amazing how Rolling In The Deep completely trounced Someone Like You everywhere except here and Ireland, where that trounced everything else! I do wonder just what would've happened had she never performed it on the BRITs
December 31, 201114 yr Can anyone confirm that "Rolling In The Deep" ended up the biggest seller in the US? Also where did "Someone Like You" end up in the US. I'd guess it would be Top5? Someone Like You ended up at #24 iirc, but yes, Rolling in the Deep sold the most, and also was #1 in the Hot 100 (which combined sales, airplay and online streaming). Someone Like You was so "low" because it only got popular in the US towards the end of the year (and they also end their year in November, which puts it at more of a disadvantage). Someone Like You will probably be in 2012's year-end top 40 in the US too though.
December 31, 201114 yr US Airplay - lmfao featuring Lauren Bennett and goonrock - party rock anthem Not true, it's "Give Me Everything". What's your source?

December 31, 201114 yr http://acharts.us/us_airplay_top_100/yeartodate That website says its year-to-date, so I think they simply get the chart and assign points each week (e.g. 100 to #1, 99 to #2, etc.) and total them up. So I don't think that's official, since the proper Billboard year-end list will be based on total audience plays rather than total chart position points.

December 31, 201114 yr Fab sales for SLY & :o Maroon 5 nearly a million :dance: Its already at a million, the numbers are from last week.
December 31, 201114 yr http://acharts.us/us_airplay_top_100/yeartodate Oh I see, it might be accurate as it can be after all because I forgot Billboard's year is Nov-Nov. And GME is #1 there.
December 31, 201114 yr Thanks Eric. The American end of years always seem more complicated than the UK! Lol Yeah. Their charts are so complicated sometimes. They have so many different rules, and I think the thing that confuses people most about the year-end charts every year is why songs released in the summer/fall of the previous year often chart higher than songs released the summer/fall of the actual year. It makes sense when you know all the rules, but it's difficult to explain to people.
December 31, 201114 yr Its already at a million, the numbers are from last week. Of course it is but I was just going by the latest sales. Didn't think they were that close ;)
December 31, 201114 yr Billboard has its silly end of year cut off point simply so that it can attract lots of advertising from record companies congratulating their acts on their successes in the Billboard end of year charts which appear in the final issue of the magazine for the year. I've got the current issue with the end of year charts and it's full of backslapping ads.

I've got the current issue with the end of year charts and it's full of backslapping ads. That's probably a reason for it (if not THE reason). I have no problem with the cut-off point, since December's sales, etc. will count to next year. Just that it's very confusing to people when they see a song like We Found Love at #66, but What's My Name? at #20 in 2011's chart.
January 1, 201214 yr Military Wives were #144 the week before, but I'm amazed that you can sell nearly 2,000 copies and only be #144! The 2k level is normally around #125 nowadays. This must be Chris Brown's biggest ever hit too (or at least, best-selling in the UK)? Obviously helped with sales increasing every year since he started out. Who'd have thought beating the crap out of your girlfriend could be so lucrative... :angry: Jar Of Hearts! :wub: So amazing, all its success. Future classic. :heart: One of my favourites in the top 40. It is definitely my fav in this T40, and 2nd only to Skinny Love in my favs of 2011. :)
January 1, 201214 yr Who'd have thought making shamelessly generic club songs could be so lucrative... :angry: Corrected that for you :D
