Why did it say on the Billboard site that Pink was at number 9 and Lil Wayne at 10... Why the sudden change ??? Weird... And what's weirder is that Macklemore 'Thrift Shop' is by far the biggest selling song of the past 9 weeks and by far the most airplayed and the most streamed for many weeks, yet it's at number 2 behind a song that sells half as much, doesn't get any airplay, yet is at number 1 thanks to thousands of user generated 30 second meme videos on YouTube... Really Billboard Charts has lost all its relevance...

12 to 13 weeks... That YouTube addition is really silly, it will prevent the biggest sellers & biggest airplay hits from reaching the top... Bruno Mars and Pink should've been there instead...

Sales is the only component that really measures popularity since YouTube views only shows the popularity of a video... I think the addition of YouTube views on the BB Hot 100 totally ruined the charts since it lead to a situation where the biggest selling song in the US by far Thrift Shop was denied of number 1 because of a viral 30 second video showing people randomly dancing to a random song that people didn't even bother to spend 1.29$ on , aka Harlem Shake.... A song's success is defined by sales not by radio airplay or viral videos, that's why i think the UK chart formula is the best and most representative...

why is '30 Days' at the bottom of everyone's Saturdays chart??? it's such a great club song which sounds like it could've been a huge Euro-dance hit...

My Top 5 Saturdays Singles: 1.What about us 2.30 Days 3.Forever Is Over 4.Up 5.All Fired Up

exactly, that new Beyonce single is just dreadful, makes Run The World sound like a masterpiece... i doubt it will bother the top 20 anyway...

r u trying to compare 2 UK hit wonder Rita Whora with the Princess of Pop Kylie??? :o

she is only known in gay clubs in San Fransisco and New York, apart from that, she's only known in the US as the girl who covered 'The Locomotion', and then came back 14 years later with a dance hit in the shape of 'Can't Get you out of my head',.... and that coming from the biggest Kylie fan ever, and who has spent 6 months in the US...

this is actually by far their strongest single to date,(followed by All Fired Up and Up) and that's why they chose it to lauch their career in the US, i agree with you about the Sean Paul feature though , it's really pointless since he's a has been in the US, they should've replaced him with Pitbull or Flo Rida.... but i disagree with you on the 'f*** America' part, since America is the ultimate goal for each and EVERY artist including ones who say they don't care about it, America is still the biggest music market in the world and becoming a success there takes you to worldwide success straightaway...

it's really sad that such a pop classic has been ignored by the UK public and it took a Glee cover to launch it Stateside... 1-JsfrV2K5c

I didn't say she was unknown outside of the UK, I'm from Lebanon an her songs get played on the radio here all the time...I'm just saying she isn't known in the US therefore the international media doesn't recognize her success as they do with successful US artists like Britney , Pink and Katy perry... She deserves more US success than what she had already...

Why are there large decreases today???

She is Underrated worldwide, she has tens of great classic pop songs but has only scored 2 hits in the US which makes her really underrated.... Maybe she's really popular in the UK, but in the rest of the world she is widely unknown....

Kylie overrated??? She's one of the most underrated artists in the world, if there's any justice, she should've been more successful than Madonna ....

Now Marina up to number 114 !!! come on Marina crack the top 100 !!!!

It's unfortunately number 2 on the Billboard Charts thanks to the stupid new rule which counts home-made YouTube videos into the official charts leading to Harlem Shake being the number 1 instead of the real big seller...

Marina and the Diamonds up to number 146 on the US iTunes with How to be a heartbreaker. :dance: probably thanks to its use on Glee !!!

it's so unfair to see Harlem Shake still at the top while Thrift Shop is way well ahead in terms of sales, on-demand streaming, and airplay, the only winning point for Harlem Shake in the chart is those user-made 30 second videos which shouldn't even count in the official chart but unrightfully do... this silly rule gotta change, otherwise we will have dozens of Harlem Shakes style crazes that stick around at number 1 for ages without selling enough copies to deserve it....

he was only famous in the Uk back in 2007.while now he's an international artist...

it will now since he's become world-famous recently...

how can Diana Vickers be overrated while she's only had 1 UK hit so far and is yet unknown to.the rest of the world???. same goes concerning Girls.Aloud since they're unknown outside.the UK...

They're talking about the closures already mentioned in the list before not new ones...

UK -Emeli Sande ( she has 2 OK songs 'Next to me' and 'Heaven', but the rest is just dull, so enough shoving her down our throats everywhere Olympics, Brits, etc....) if she had come out in the 90's she would've been as non-successful as Shara Nelsen or Mica Paris... -Rita Ora (her biggest hit sounds like a Sugababes leftover from 2004, enough said...) -Ed Sheeran (very dull, his songs at best sound like James Blunt B-Sides) -Conor Maynard (the British Justin Bieber??? not really- only his Ne-Yo collaboration is good, the rest is just average at best...) Worldwide -Beyonce (her last good song was in 2003, but she's been everywhere since, and she's married to Jay-Z hence her success... way overrated) -Eminem (he's really talented at ruining nice hooks with his bad rapping starting with his Dido massacre and ending with 'love the way you lie' etc...) -Flo Rida (he raps over 80's songs, where's the talent in that? it's OK if it was a novelty, but he's been around since forever and scored a zillion hits and featured on a zillion others etc...) -Justin Bieber ( :puke2: ) -Lil' Wayne (in the US he has scored now more hits than Elvis Presley, thanks to his never ending collaborations etc...) -Pitbull (i wonder when he has the time to record all these features, now he'll still looking for someone he hasn't collaborated with...still looking B-) ) I know i will get bashed for mentioning these artists but that's my opinion, i'm sure a lot agree...

classic FLOP ... it wasn't a hit anywhere in the world, so i'm sure she wouldn't have risked anything if she released something different-sounding and not the usual camp disco-pop from 2001... 'Come down', 'Sensitized' and 'Speakerphone' would've shown a different side to Kylie but she chose to stick to her usual formula... and it's not working anymore... 'Aphrodite' the album was great but it was too safe, that's why it flopped... she needs to try something new and at this stage in her career she can't afford any more flops...

she didn't release or promote All the lovers in the US dear :D , she promoted the dire 'Get outta my way' which flopped terribly... i'm sure 'Come Down' would've done a lot better in the US than the dire 'Get outta my way' or the lame 'All I See'...
