Billboard Round Up (02/06/11)
Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" banks a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (June 2) on Billboard.com, while this year's "American Idol" champion and runner-up roar in with top 20 debuts.
"Deep" ascends ...
2-1 on Radio Songs (144 million in audience, up 6%, according to Nielsen BDS) and 3-1 on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart. With it having topped the Triple A adult alternative airplay list (for 14 weeks), the song is the first by a woman to have ruled all three radio-based rankings and just the third among all acts, following Shawn Mullins' "Lullabye" (1998) and Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide" (1998-99).
On Digital Songs, "Deep" registers a fourth frame at No. 1 (254,000 downloads sold, down 14%, according to Nielsen SoundScan).
Pitbull's "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer, rises 3-2 on the Hot 100 with Airplay Gainer honors, advancing 6-4 on Radio Songs (100 million, up 16%). The track holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (210,000, down 1%).
Katy Perry's former Hot 100 No. 1 "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, dips 2-3; Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, rises 5-4, swapping spots with the Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough" (4-5); and, Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" holds at No. 6, while Britney Spears' "Till the World Ends" maintains its No. 7 rank.
As Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" blasts in atop the Billboard 200 with the biggest sales week since 2005, "The Edge of Glory," the album's third radio single, rebounds 19-8 on the Hot 100 with the chart's Digital Gainer award (after debuting at No. 3 two weeks ago). The song storms 14-4 on Digital Songs (165,000, up 74%), while jumping 37-24 on Radio Songs (39 million, up 31%). Two other tracks from "Born" enter the Hot 100 on the strength of digital sales: "You and I" (No. 37; 83,000) and "Marry the Night" (No. 79; 35,000).
LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, retreats 8-9 on the Hot 100, while DJ Khaled's "I'm on One," featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, rockets 78-10 (159,000 downloads, up 798%). The song marks DJ Khaled's first top 10; he had previously peaked as high as No. 19 with "I'm So Hood," featuring T-Pain, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross and Plies, in 2007.
2011 "Idol" champion Scotty McCreery scores the Hot 100's Hot Shot Debut with victory ballad "I Love You This Big" at No. 11. The song, which McCreery sang on the Fox show's May 24 and May 25 finale-week episodes, starts at No. 3 on Digital Songs (171,000). As previously reported, "I Love You This Big" logs the highest debut on Billboard's Country Songs chart (No. 32) for a brand new artist's first single since the survey adopted BDS data the week of Jan. 20, 1990.
McCreery's arrival bests that of 2010 "Idol" winner Lee DeWyze, whose coronation single, a cover of U2's "Beautiful Day," bowed at No. 24 on the Hot 100 with 95,000 downloads.
'Idol' Q&A: Scotty McCreery on His 'Crazy Ri"Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina charges onto the Hot 100 at No. 20 with "Like My Mother Does," which begins at No. 11 on Digital Songs (121,000). Alaina likewise enjoys early support from country radio, as the cut, which she performed May 24 on "Idol," starts at No. 49 on Country Songs.
The "Glee" cast sends five songs onto the Hot 100 from the Fox series' May 24 second-season finale, led by two songs written specifically for the episode: "Light Up the World" (No. 33; 86,000 downloads sold) and "Pretending" (No. 40; 79,000). The troupe had charted two prior original compositions among its Hot 100-record 156 appearances: "Loser Like Me" (No. 6) and "Get It Right" (No. 16) in April.
After she performed the song on the star-studded May 25 "Idol" season wrap-up, Beyoncé enters the Hot 100 at No. 57 with "1+1" (57,000 downloads). Her "Run the World (Girls)" similarly benefits from her performances on the 2011 Billboard Music Awards May 22 and the first half of the two-day "Oprah Winfrey Show" all-star celebration May 23, lifting from No. 50 to a new peak of No. 29. The track had debuted at No. 33 five weeks ago. (Columbia Records is not soliciting airplay for "1+1," instead shifting to "Best Thing I Never Had," also from Beyoncé's fourth studio album "4," due June 28, as the radio follow-up to "World").
Other notable Hot 100 debuts include Reeve Carney's "Rise Above 1," featuring Bono and the Edge (No. 74), after the star of the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" performed the song with the members of U2 on "Idol" May 25; Kenny Chesney's top 25 (27-21) Country Songs hit "You and Tequila," featuring Grace Potter (No. 92); and, "Man Down," the fifth chart entry -- which concurrently rises 40-34 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs -- from Rihanna's album "Loud" (No. 94) (as her new pop single "California King Bed" pushes 80-66 in its second week).
