OMG, that smiley. :lol:

 

Anyway, there's no need to fight about the #1, we'll see how it goes next week.

 

^_^ I love ATRL smilies

 

Yeah we should stop, facts of the matter are that:

 

-It got #1

-It was a great #1 and truly deserved it imo (spins record, ww smash, AI)

-It's debatable whether itunes error was the cause of the the #1, although it obviously was a part of it.

Incredible lead for BEP, no surprise as IGF is amazing. :wub:

Wow, that is amazing! Another 10 weeks at #1 for them? :lol:

It's suprising how the album isn't killing the charts with sales like these on singles for the BEP's.

That's the new era... most of the artists that sell the album much (like Coldplay) only the first single do something (with VLV they had a HUGE hit, but before? nothing special but all of their album past the 10 Million) and artists that sell a lot of singles do pretty bad with the album... like FLO RIDA, and some other pop acts. pop = selling more singles. Rock selling more albums.

Yeh man B)

I'll start by correcting my maths, it should be sales/time not time/sales.

 

25(sales per day)/24(hours) = 1.04(k per hour)

 

1.04*13(hours off itunes apparantly) = 13.54k

 

He missed out on 13.54k sales.

Firstly, that makes no sense; having an airplay advantage means you can sell less than #2 but still be #1 - not that you have to sell more to get #1.

 

Secondly, If he just needed 4k less/more and he only missed out on 13.54k of sales then his total is 198,412, not enough for #1.

 

It would have been a tight race but GaGa would have won it.

 

Don't give me no crap about #1 advantage either seen as both songs where all over the radio, tv, charts etc so if people wanted them they'd get them.

 

 

Exactly if, Flo Rida had sold 188k that week he would have remained at no.1 on the HOT 100! So, as you have rightly calculated he would have missed out on 13k of sales.

 

When points were added up for airplay and sales that week- as in airplay points and sells points- the difference amounted to Flo Rida needing either 4,000 sales or 4million extra listeners than he did have to stay at Hot 100 no.1. So Flo Rida only needed to sell an extra 4k and would have been no.1 on the Hot100. Unless, you are complete unaware of how the Hot 100 is calculated?!?! Because I'm starting to think you don't know, as you wouldn't even try and argue if you did!

 

 

 

So, we have the facts, here, he sold 184 k, he lost out on 13k worth of sales, he only needed an extra 4K to stay at no.1 on the Hot 100 [due to him have more than 16million listeners than PF). I.e. he would have stayed without the error.

 

 

 

Msg Britser, you have no idea about the No.1 boost; if you discount it as nothing. Because plastered all over sites like Perez Hilton, Music sites, ads (extra advertising) come up just displaying the current US iTunes no.1, so please don't even try an dispute that! Of course you can say they were both all on radio, but extra advertisements help especially on music sites, lol.....

 

 

- I could truly understand you arguing if he had needed an extra 13,000 sales to stay at no.1, as who's to say he would have sold that between that particular period, [forgetting the no.1 boost for a min]. But, seeing as he only need 4,000 extra sales to remain as Hot 100 no.1 (a third of the sales he would have missed out on) it's a bit of a no-brainer not to realise that he would have stayed there without the error!

 

-Finally explain why iTunes issued an apology stating they cost him Hot 100 no.1; if they did not? Or do you know more than Billboard and iTunes put together??? :rolleyes:

^ and I thought you'd finally dropped it :mellow:

 

Ok, I didn't grasp what you were saying before about the 4k seen as I interpreted it as you saying he needed to sell 4k extra than Poker face, not just 4k extra. Now that we're on the same page I fully understand your arguement but you can't say sales would have remained the same over the next few days. Losing 3 bars is nothing, songs have dips all the time. Also, I imagine that GaGa would have atleast done some more performances if Flo hadn't been removed to boost sales, so again, we can't say sales would have remained constant.

 

And if the #1 boost is as strong as you say it is then why where the pop bars close? Why wasn't Flo miles ahead, seen as he had your precious #1 boost?

 

P.S. You should stop using :rolleyes: in the context you do seen as it makes you come off as very rude and patronising.

back onto iTunes, BBP single version has been removed.

IGF is so going to #1 with BBP removed. :lol:

It will be the first time ever that a single and album by the same artist have debuted at #1 the same week :w00t:

Very smart, now none of the rift raft below can even come close to stopping them....delete! The album version will be defo rise up to no.2 now!

^ it has now :kink:

It will be the first time ever that a single and album by the same artist have debuted at #1 the same week :w00t:

NO...WOW!!

that can't be possible....

I'm pretty sure it is, read it on another forum and can't think of any other instances.

Are the pop bars working yet? :)

I'm glad BBP's reign at #1 is ending; IGF is far superior and it'll be nice to see the track debut so high
