Xmas Loves Mr.I

Rihanna no.1 again! T.I is coming tho! And what the hell has happened to Estelle...has it been deleted??? I thought she might have been...very strange, as she was doing really well and heading to 1 mil downloads!

It's gonna be close at the top!

These sales arent nothing to write home about! But, i suppose she aint signed to a big deal and her label don't spend that much on her! But, if the Saturdays sell 200k worth of albums i will eat my shorts. By next Spring, they wont exist! :P

MIA getting a hit is due to the huge promo for stoner movie 'Pineapple Express' where 'Paper Planes' is used as the backing track! :w00t:

Ri Ri No.6....the increasing airplay should shoot it up near to Katy Perry by next week! Top 5 in the singles chart definitely next week!

Woo Ri Ri Now no.8

Well done Ri Ri...hopefully no.2 on the Hot 100. Hope airplay picks up too, but with Take a Bow still doing so good on that score, it makes it tough for her to have two highly played songs! Mikal, have you got another link to that audience impression website mmr?

yeah 21-30 or lower....it hasnt taken off at all!

1 million for Lil Wayne :cheer: :D :D Fantastic achievement in the current climate! That's what you call a good promotion campaign!

Not being funny but, your waiting for something that will probably never happen. Their single hasnt been in iTunes top 100 for over a month and no radio support....means it won't be returning. It looks like their album when it comes out will bomb hard when it is released...maybe Charlye was right not to want to join the band, cos they've made them into sluts and it ain't gone down very well!

No.1 written all over it. Tbh I recon this song will do a 4minutes not DSTM, cos that was a relatively old album track which would also limit it's sales. I don't see most fans going out and buying the re-loaded version of the album in great numbers and it''s a new track...the more radio get the buzz, the more it will rise!

400 copies isnt a big increase...or am I not reading the same figures?!?! :rolleyes:

Sorry but stalling around 50 million (for now) doesn't get you anywhere, unless you have huge sales to back it up! And, I said by Mariah's standards........well she does hold the record 223 million and obviously every song she releases won't get near that, but 50 million is poor........if she managed to get audience impressions up 70 million, I think alot industry folks would die of shock! ;) Hence why she ain't promoting it anymore, cos she knows it aint gonna get to no.1....why make the effort on a song which probably won't reach the top 10, eh??!?

Personally, as much as I love this song....it has been pretty much a dud by Mariah's standards. The airplay has been really c**p to say the least. I thought this would be the 19th No.1...how wrong I was....I doubt it will go top 10 in the US and have reservations in this country (i see it getting like 11-13 when released physically)!

I seriously doubt it! When combined they are 1 bar ahead (which evens out over other download sites), but Rihanna's physical will easily see her to victory, especially due to the fact she ALWAYS has high weekend sales!

Tbh, I don't care whether she went to no.1. But, to say Rihanna shouldnt have got to number 1 isn't really sensible, cos she sold 100K more than her competition and she didnt exactly wait til her airplay was really high to release the download (like others, hint hint my fave Mariah), cos it still only at 50million impressions. If anything, going along with the sales argument, Rihanna should still be there.

This a stupid remark! Because, if we wanted to take the no.1 as who sold the most, Leona still would only have been no.1 for 4 weeks, tbh the major casualty of not getting to no.1 was Madonna, cos her airplay stinks!

Yep, it gets ahead of Rihanna (50 million only) overwhelmingly cos of it's airplay, but this week I have hunch that he was probably right behind the downloads of Leona, cos her lead on iTunes has been by like a bar all week and he's consistently being narrowing the iTunes gap on alternative download sites! So, if we want a sales no.1 it's Rihanna If we want a combined no.1 it's Lil Wayne Take your pick!

She was never gonna be! But, BIT won't go to number one. The best news is the album is going back up and that is all I really care about...

Well done Rihanna! A bit weird with the Lil Wayne and Leona scenario cos he's on 148 mil and she's on 131 million, hence why he's still bulleted, and the gap was only 10.5 K. could physicals and streamings have made such a difference.....this a strange one I must admit! It makes next week even more interesting....a 3 way fight for the top.....my money still is on Lil Wayne!

It might have done, had airplay been stronger earlier on. Tbh, this will probably be her last stint at no.1 cos the gap between her and Lil Wayne is decreasing in downloads and he has approx 20 million more listeners, so it will be him who will return to no.1 (after Rihanna) and stay there, unless Rihanna's airplay picks up!

Rihanna and Ting Tings (combined) approximately equal!

Madonna is lacking staying power. This album really isn't gonna do anything near to Confessions!

Nope Rihanna will be at no.1 Lil Wayne at no.2 and Leona at no. 3! Next week will be closer, with Rihanna's advantage diminishing slightly (although her airplay will shoot up when she is announced at Hot 100 no.1 tonight)..with the favourite to return to no.1 being Lil Wayne, cos he's like 20 million ahead of Leona on airplay!

If there has been no pre-nup, then sorry but she has been a dumb bint! i hope this aint true, and if she was foolish enough to marry him after only dating for a month, she had the sense to get a pre-nup...cos WHEN they get divorced (if their married) he will get at least £10mil!
