Dark Horse

this time is the longest... 'So what' and 'Raise your glass' both stayed for 1 week....

One hit wonder??? Psy Gentleman will be this week's Hot 100 number 1 thanks to its huge YouTube views...

gentleman is a surefire number 1 with the huge amount of views it has collected...

Unfortunately downloads are not yet included in the official chart, since it's mostly airplay based, they shall be included soon since iTunes has only been available in Lebanon and 50 other countries since December 2012, therefore they are still minimal compared to what they are in the UK and US... The number 1 song averages 100-150 downloads which is not much but it's still great to see a song called G.A.Y at the top somewhere....

Yes it's a Geri song from 1999 called G.A.Y... I made a campaign among my gay friends to get it to number 1 on iTunes Lebanon for a day... And we succeeded, it was number 1 for 3 days!!!! U don't need a sim to download from iTunes... I'm using a Samsung now... Lol

yes but people who buy Suede and Depeche Mode are mostly in.the 30+ age demographic which tend to.buy a lot more CD albums than iTunes pre-orders.therefore sales don't fall sharply the same way with new fanbase acts....

very easy, since sales are so low in the top 75 u only need 1.5 k sales.to stay there... so i'm sure it's not that hard..

why is Blue doing so badly?!! such a great song... their best in a long time...

Am I not allowed to have an opinion??? I didn't know that...

he's a dead cert number 1 for.next week thanks to his YouTube views... such a pointless chart nowadays, airplay and sales don't matter that much anymore..

Right Now was the most downloaded 'Unapologetic' album track internationally, u could check kworb, it was a hit everywhere and still is charting high in some countries including France and Belgium, so yes, even if i don't like it, it will be a big hit and it's an obvious choice... Loveeeeeee Song is lame and flopped in the US saleswise and only charted due to high R&B/rhythmic airplay.... 'Nobodies Business' could be a huge hit for her also due to the Chris Brown association and the fact that it sounds like the best song Michael Jackson never recorded, along with Chris Brown's 'Fine China'....

it hasn't been confirmed as the 3rd UK single,.i think she should release the obvious ones like 'Right Now' and 'Nobodies Business'...

i can't believe Christina Aguilera's last top 10 SOLO hit was way back in 2006... i guess she's not able to have hits anymore on her own....

yeah, i just noticed that... you beat me to it.... :rolleyes:

because it's a cover of the De La Soul song from the early 90's.... yes, i'm that old!!!! :huh: not that original that Little Mix... gC1xuVCBl4o

yes, it looks like so, it the US they already peaked last year, and usually the UK is 2 years behind in term of consumer habits so i'd have to say that 2014 will be the UK peak for digital sales... then it will be a shift to streaming...

not to.mention the fact that Next to me is.being used on next week's episode.of Glee.... oh Dear...

the only good thing about this campaign is that Liza Minelli will make a few bucks out of it.... i'm.sure she.needs.every penny...

Nicole Kidman had a solo top 75 with One Day I'll fly away.... And I can't believe u didn't put Queen Kylie at the top of the list....

I find it appalling and i'm not even British , celebrating the death of Thatcher is similar to what supporters of Al Qaeda did after 9/11, nobody should celebrate someone's death... It's beyond cruel to her family, friends and supporters.... And I'm sure most of the people who downloaded this song weren't even born when she was PM... That is also another proof why the physical CD days were better... There was no place for sick campaigns like this...

sounds like a Rachel Stevens B-side from 2004, but it will be a hit because it's Selena and she's America's sweetheart.... in the US, the artist matters more than the song.... if it was Madonna.or Kylie releasing that song in the US, they would have made jokes about it

Cher Lloyd so close to the Hot 100!!! Come on Cher you can do it....

of course, since American artists care more about US success, since it is considered the biggest achievement to crack the US market.... however some of the biggest artists such as Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams & Take That are considered half successful because of their lack of US success... cracking the US market means cracking the worldwide market...

You're sooo right, that silly rule change which led to this anomaly where the biggest selling, most airplayed, most streamed song (Thrift shop) gets stuck at number 2 behind a song only because of some school made videos using a 30 second sample of Harlem shake which helped it get to number 1... this is indeed the unfairest and silliest chart component in history of music ....

ur right... The BB Hot 100 has become a load of tosh and seriously they don't know what they're doing, they changed the rules like 100 times the past few years... What next??? Adding songs people whistle in the bathroom while showering to the official Chart??? :puke2:
