Naysayers may have doubted initially, but now it seems pop princess Britney Spears’ newest song ‘Work B*tch’ is doing just that – working.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Indeed, the song nearly slipped out of the top 50 a week after its debut on Itunes, but weeks later, after a smoking hot video to aid, the dance number appears to have re-entered the race – giving a run to chart champions Lorde, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry (who have collectively dominated the Hot 100 all summer long).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Their efforts appear to be extending into the fall as well, but will their catchy tunes be enough to keep Britney at bay? This week’s chart check awaits…
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Who run the world? Girls, apparently.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“Lorde’s “Royals” rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week…and Britney Spears’ “Work B**ch!” zooms toward the Hot 100’s top 10. Lorde’s debut hit fends off Katy Perry’s former two-week Hot 100 No. 1 “Roar” for a second week (2-2).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Perry concurrently debuts at No. 34 on the Hot 100 with “Walking on Air”. The cut begins on Digital Songs at No. 8 (113,000). Two weeks ago, fellow “Prism” track “Dark Horse” (featuring Juicy J) started on the Hot 100 at No. 17 and Digital Songs at No. 4 (194,000); this week, it descends 8-10 on Digital Songs (99,000, down 5%).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)As previously reported, with “Roar,” “Air” and “Horse” in the Digital Songs top 10 simultaneously, Perry is the first artist with three concurrent titles in the bracket since Taylor Swift almost a year ago. Just outside the Hot 100’s top tier, Britney Spears’ “Work B**ch!” rebounds 41-13, nearly matching its No. 12 peak posted upon its debut two weeks ago.”

Yas Miley still holding the top 3 down… but ima need applause to fall out the top 10 already who tf is buying that b*******?
The tired and old Drag Queens are still doing their numbers to that song…. Those are the only girls buying that
Mad?
Pressed? Applause 2 months in Top 10. What a flop. lol
LOL SOMEBODY’S MAD CUZ APPLAUSE IS STILL SLAYING LOL
I still can’t believe how well Blurred lines is doing..Blurred lines is def the song of 2013 ..Robin finally own a year congrats to him
Miley made the song more popular after performing it at the vmas plus she made Robin more popular in general even he said so 🙂
Miley didn’t make NOBODY more popular cuz Blurred lines already went #1 on billboard for 12 weeks str8 b4 the vma performance so stop tryna take the man’s hard work away from him.. If Miley made him more popular why didn’t wrecking ball stayed at #1 for 12 weeks
Airhead.
LOL B**** PLEASE, BLURRED LINES WAS ALREADY THE BIGGEST SONG OF THE YEAR AROUND THE WORLD BEFORE FLOPLEY BENT HER PANCAKE ASS OVER ON TV LOL
wildest dreams brandy
brand new me alicia keys
thank you estelle
amnesia cherish
lose to win fantasia
never should have ashanti
sorry ciara
love and war tamar
i swear people dont know good music anymore….how did these songs flop but those are slaying???
Because their music is stale sweetie.
Their music are stale yet none of the top songs except blurred lines gonna get any grammys much less a damn nomination and watch the “stale” songs get a grammy
I know, RnB generally doesn’t get much attention unless it’s mixed with Hip hop.
all the songs u listed above had meaning and soul..plus nobody was half naked in the videos
1 word.. PROMOTION
no clear channel deals they sold their music the OLD FASHION way 😀
I’m guessing the YLvis song will leave the top 10 once Halloween is dead and gone cuz i can’t see how in the hell that’s top 10 material.
Ylvis The Fox #6
The world I live in…
It’s #6 due to streaming cuz it’s only have a 1.2M audience on radio..
Rihanna>>>>>>>Beyoncé 🙂
Ho shut the f*** up *Big Sean voice*
Ho slap my ass 🙂
Your tired attempt at a Stan war is ridiculous dumb b****
B**** kiss me 🙂
What does that s*** have to do with this post?
Suck my mocha penis!!!!
What? Suck your baby d***? No thanks.
Wow just listened to the Ylvis Fox song and i can’t believe something so s***** could even chart let alone make top 10 my country is a joke.
I’ve never heard dat damn song until 2day cuz of billboard 100..
And that Wake Me Up song is HORRIBLE its some black man singing & yodeling over a country autotune MESS… I hate these new billboard rules – I thought it was gonna help people at first until I realized you have to basically break 24 hour record to even make an impact. Most times an artist has released a video its before the single is available on Itunes so the debut views don’t even help
Streaming is really f***** up billboard 100 cuz Ylvis song would never made it 2 top 30 if it wasn’t for vevo and youtube streaming..U tellin me that the songs below it sold more and had more airplay yet they are at a lower # on billboard 100.. If it wasn’t for streaming work b**** would’ve fell out the top 50 and wrecking ball never woulda made it to #1
Exactly ! Its just another thing to hurt black artists bc white people don’t check for soul videos so they won’t be on the charts do you think Ledisi is gonna get 14mil views in 24 hours ? 🙄
SO STUPID .
LOL YUP, FLOPLEY CYRUS WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO #1 IF YOUTUBE DIDN’T EXIST.
Applause is trash why is it still in the top 10??? Ewwwww…. has cici overdose charted yet?
If applause is trash so wat would u call YLvis song ..oh let me guess it brilliant cuz gaga didn’t sing it.. The hate for Gaga is real..Applause 1.3M and counting so u mite as well stop lookn at bb100 cuz it’s not comin off the chart anytime soon..
Applause is so 2010
The delusion. The only decent songs in the top ten are Applause, Holy Grail, and Summertime Sadness.
lol Girl please how can you say generic dance trash applause is better than that power ballad wrecking ball. #delusional
Gurl bye. Wrecking ball was nothing but a generic pop song full of cliches. Stop acting like it’s on the level of a Celine or Mariah ballad.
If Mariah sang it you’d love it but since its Miley you act like its not worthy.
i’VE NEVER HEARD SUMMERTIME SADNESS N NEVER PLAN ON IT
Summertime sadness slays applause.
The lies. There are plenty of songs I don’t like from Mariah’s albums even during her prime so that’s absolute b*******. Even if she or Celine sang this, I still wouldn’t have even bought it because it’s still hot steaming garbage.
Thank u. @touche I don’t get the love for wrecking ball. How many times have we heard that type of song before??
@Touché
EXACTLY!!! Thanks we need more people with common sense and nice taste in this blog.
Ci song has not debuted because it has not been released to radio until the 14th I know u salivating in anticipation like #csquad but keep waiting like u praying for a cure for ur A*** f** 😆
Rihanna is snathin Beyoncés weave off Hard LOLOLOL!!!!
Miley >>>>>>>Beyoncé & Gaga Combine, well I’ll be damned LOL
Wrecking Ball & Hold On Were Going Home are the best songs in the Hot 100 right now everything else is basic or trash mk .
LOL YOU JUST NAMED THE TWO MOST BASICALLY TRASH SONGS OF ALL TIME. WHICH IS WHY FLOPPERZ IS FAILING LMAO
Yaaaassssss at the slayage Werk Bertch is delivering, I live. Beyonce can never.
Damn right!!!!!, Beyoncé cant slay Ariana grande either 🙂
Why is Beyonce always on your mind? This post had nothing to do with her yet you couldn’t help but bring her up as usual.
Kiss my s*** mouth 🙂
I’ll pass on your h***** infected lips.
Applause is the only FLOp song that made it to bb100 top 5 and sold 1.3 m!!! Yet Drake song Peaked at #4 just like applause did n sold 1.1 million yet its successful lol pplz on here is 2 damn funny
Girl go to bed.
LOL GIRL STOP BEING MAD AT SLAYPLAUSE LOL
Lady Gaga needs to sit her ass down somewhere like real talk
Pressed kid #3217.
LOL YOU NEED TO SIT YOUR PRESSED ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE LIKE REAL TALK LOL
Summertime sadness> Wrecking ball > Going home> Roar> Holy Grail> Applause > Royals> Fox
fOR U 2 BE A KELLY FAN UR TASTE IN MUSIC IS REALLY BAD..
LOL AND YET ALL THOSE SONGS HAVE OUTSOLD SUMMERTIME FLOPNESS LOL
I can’t at The Fox even charting. Novelty songs are already trash and this is the worst one by far.
Lana deserves the number 1 spot.
I’M Horny!!!!!
Another ancient commentor is back —> @Keri Johnson
Sorry man, but your relevancy ship already sailed in 2011
You is irrelevant now. You hardly get attention out here
Hang it up Flat screen
Lol I don’t ever remember him being a relevant commentor
He was never relevant sis. Just a troll.
I’m impressed with how well Royals is doing considering Roar is dominating it on radio and streaming. I would’ve liked to see Roar stay at #1 a little longer but I like Royals so I don’t mind. It has potential to be her best selling single to date. And to think some people on here thought she’d flop…
Honestly, seeing how well Miley’s singles are doing and how she’s currently the most talked about artist I expected her album to do at least 300k.
WTF is Blurred Lines still doing in the Top 10?! GO AWAY!!!! BYEE!!!!!!!!!!! No one cares! Tired ass song!! And “The Fox”? GTFO!!!! This is why The Hot 100 is a mess. These songs are only hogging spots in the Top 10 when they shouldn’t even be there. Airplay is still too large and the mysterious “streaming” that is all over the place has too much weight. If Youtube video views are counted then why aren’t TV appearances and commercials counted? You can’t count some things and not count others. It’s ridiculous! All of these things, radio, TV, the internet affect sales which should be the sole component AKA like the UK charts. SMH. Billboard is a M.E.S.S
As if Britney could be at #1… Even Gaga didn’t get there !
Britney, you want to be #1. You gotta work b****
Congrats to Lorde! Really unexpected. So rare to see these days.
LMAO @ LORDE SLAYING FLOPLEY CYRUS, FLOPNEY SPEARS, AND KATY PAYOLA SO EASILY LMAO
