April 13, 201412 yr Shame this will never be top 10 now. It would've been great to have something so different there.
April 13, 201412 yr Kinda sad this didn't reach top 10 but happier cause Dark Horse is heaven Edited April 13, 201412 yr by jsilv
April 13, 201412 yr The sound of silence We're trying to play this station, but we're having problems. Apologies. The station's stream may be broken, or there may be a mis-match between this stream, and your device. Fortunately, there's another way of listening. Download our free app, and put Radioplayer on your phone or tablet. For some reason I'm getting this message on iPlayer. sigh
April 13, 201412 yr Not a huge fan of it but it would have been great to see it Top 10 just because of how HUGE Frozen has been.
April 13, 201412 yr Great to see Tove Lo climbing! Should go top 10 next week hopefully. ^_^ Katy Perry beating Idina to the top 10 is great to see too
April 13, 201412 yr I don't think it really matters *who* bought them, just that they did and it counts to the chart...? Yes, because a song that had its sales tripled by obsessive fans buying it multiple times is clearly as popular as songs that get to #1 with single versions.
April 13, 201412 yr Let It Go gets too much hate :( wish it was Top 10 over bloody Dark Horse :/ YES For some reason, this type of music is really doing very well at the moment. I don't understand it.

Before she topped the charts with songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career. At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette's chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group's two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as "the Next Big Thing!" With the Matrix's unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with "I Do Not Hook Up" several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry's debut single, "UR So Gay," generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was "I Kissed a Girl" that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008's One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, "Hot N Cold" became her second multi-platinum hit, "Thinking of You" (one of the album's three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and "Waking Up in Vegas" cracked the Top Ten. Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry's biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his fiancé. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with "California Gurls," which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August. The album would be reissued in 2012 as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, with the bonus track "Wide Awake" earning Perry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Katy Perry 2008 01 I Kissed A Girl -1- 2008 04 Hot N Cold -2- 2009 27 Thinking Of You -3- 2009 19 Waking Up In Vegas -4- 2009 03 Starstrukk (3OH!3 Feat.

April 13, 201412 yr Yes, because a song that had its sales tripled by obsessive fans buying it multiple times is clearly as popular as songs that get to #1 with single versions. If that actually mattered in the charts, only one purchase would count per person, but it doesn't so I don't see why it's any kind of problem?
April 13, 201412 yr Somehow I'm not sick of Dark Horse yet even though I've heard it since September.
April 13, 201412 yr If that actually mattered in the charts, only one purchase would count per person, but it doesn't so I don't see why it's any kind of problem? It gives the impression that a song is more popular then it actually is. That's the point being made.
April 13, 201412 yr If that actually mattered in the charts, only one purchase would count per person, but it doesn't so I don't see why it's any kind of problem? "Non #1" = unpopular #1. A song that only got near the top spot due to fanbase chart manipulation is the definition of an unpopular #1. Nobody thinks them having a non #1 is a problem except you.
April 13, 201412 yr So it's a 'Dark Horse' re-entry blocking Idina. *.* (I actually forgot this dropped out of the top 10 last week, still sounding great to good to see it back up there!)
