The pop bars are based on sales -- declining weighted average. The reason LMD is #1 is because you are not looking at the "Wake Me Up" single which is by far more popular right not. The one you can see is the album track. Look at all the Avicii track -- not the album. WMU is #5 on iTunes right now. but I see WMU on this chart in the third position and the number of bars is less than for LMD... so, I am still confused  I think these are all cuts from the ALBUM being listed. The SINGLE Wake Me Up is not on this part of the list. It has sold many more. The SONG Wake Me Up is actually listed in two places - as a single and an album cut. |

I hope it's okay to post this from IDF regarding Adam in Korea:
All of this has reinforced to me yet again how easy it is for established radio darlings to achieve hit after hit simply through the power of repetition. Adam happened to strike it lucky here with IIHY, thanks to the Cass beer ad campaign, but I think many of us would agree that he has superior songs on Trespassing that would be even more popular---if they could only be heard by the public at large on a regular basis.
Here's a link to the actual post on IDF: idolforums.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=696387&view=findpost&p=25936745Yes, look at the ones who do get hit after hit in the US. Radio and exposure. Take the idol winners as an example. Phillip couldn't have gotten any better exposure than the most popular event at the Olympics. Then radio followed. For his second single, he continues to get a lot of radio spins. Lately, he is the best selling singles seller. Scotty got radio play, but not a lot, so he had moderate hits. Lee got very little exposure and almost minimum radio (did he get any?), so you know his story. Kris got tons of radio spins for first single, so he had a pretty good hit. Very little after that. Kelly and Carrie get tons of radio play, and both of them are everywhere, esp Carrie. What does it take to get those radio PD's attention, anyway? WRITE COUNTRY MUSIC! just look at WMU: Wake Me Up to me is a combination of boring country vocals and a cheap-country-fair-entertainment-polka-like chorus. And it is a freaking hit all over the world... ![]() |

The SINGLE Wake Me Up is not on this part of the list. It has sold many more. oh, so you are saying these are the bars reflecting the individual songs SOLD from the album list, and WMU THE SINGLE is sold elsewhere, and THOSE numbers are not part of these bars.... I see now... THANK YOU! |

I've played the song for days now. |

And it is a freaking hit all over the world... I think Adam might be one of the few, if not only, idol who won't sing a country song. And what would his lyrics to be like: "My boyfriend cheated on me, so now I'm going into bar to hook up with a girl just to get back at him." |
