Why does that matter?

Well the EP is #1

That might be the pre-order charting though.

Kat DeLuna - Run The Show 41, then 42 :(

It won't :( hoping for Top 75 though.

01 | Leona Lewis 02 | Kelly Clarkson 03 | Little Mix 04 | Diana Vickers 05 | Olly Murs 06 | Will Young 07 | Girls Aloud 08 | Jordin Sparks 09 | One Direction 10 | Amelia Lily

It's all over Radio 1 I believe, and is played a lot on my local (awful) radio station Juice FM. This will obviously be a bigger hit though. I think this one could stick around too.

Why would it? that show's that some people are that 'desperate' for it, they're buying a fake version. These are the people who will more than likely re-buy it when it's released. Plus a top 250 position on iTunes must be like 250 sales?

_zR6ROjoOX0 I think this will be massive, such a catchy song. Seems to be getting support on radio too.

I agree in the sense they need to stop trying so hard, Amy Winehouse best female?! And Cat Power best international female? It does come across a bit try-hard at times.

Aren't they together though? They just released a new album?

This should be moved. But times have changed, digital era has allowed multiple album tracks to chart highly. Plus some of Rihanna's are features too. Can't really compare. It's great for her though and I guess records are there to be broken.

He did the NTA's and was really good!

Dermot O'leary should host, I hate those shit comedian's with their 'jokes'

CgTB1ay_nnA Recently added to Radio 1, would love this to be massive. It's got a great vibe and she sounds great! (thought she was a rapper?!)

That's the thing though, Thrift Shop is MILES ahead on airplay and sold over 400,000+ downloads this week, the only format Harlem Shake beat it on was YouTube views. They've got their ratio's all out imo.

'Gangnam Style' with this new rule would have been #1 for months. I just can't get my head around using the plays of those 30 second videos? It just doesn't make sense.

I imagine record labels are panicking, they'll have to go all out with music videos now. Lyric videos will be everywhere too. The only good this is that radio plays less of a part. This rule change is insane though. It should only include OFFICAL Vevo plays, not all those home-made videos.

She would have been #1 easily, which is shocking. This whole idea is ridiculous. Include YouTube views but not at the level they have. 'Harlem Shake' will be #1 for absolute months now. They're counting all those stupid 'homemade' clips. So this means if I record a song, put in on YouTube and it goes viral I could get a Hot 100 #1?!

Reduced to 59p is the only reason I can think of!

I think that's pretty spot on, I reckon Taylor Swift will win best international, as she's performing. I'd love to be surprised and see them snub Emeli though...

Goes for Pop Radio adds March 12th, thank GOD http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=16691

Thank you! The thing is in the US (especially with new artists) songs can take months and months to catch on properly. So far they've done everything perfectly. Airplay is always the last thing to kick in in the US, look at Ellie Goulding 'Lights' that was selling bucket loads before radio jumped on. The song has clearly got a small demand hence the iTunes recognition, I imagine they're going to wait for the series to end and have the song sell quietly, THEN focus on radio formats to make the song an actual hit. It might never happen but that doesn't mean it won't happen with the next single. They're label will obviously have a detailed plan of dates and everything to coincide with their major promotions later on.

Well the rest are correct, so no reason for them to be.

I don't understand that either :S
