I like the fact she slayed on POP RADIO – THAT IS WHERE THE HITS ARE MADE. LOL LOL WHEN BEYONCE’S PAYOLA RUNS OUT
Considering the fact Rihanna only releases a new album every year full of trash…also let me know when Rihanna sells 80000 copies in the first three hours.
beyonce will drop Blow and drunk in love, and next year drop XO. LOL LOL RIH HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT . Thos singles aint saying s***.

UNA sold 4 mill by march of 2013. WE ARE IN DEC 2013. WILL THAT DO?
beyOLDce’s album will 4lop after this wears off. Watch.
WOW Royals made a swift move up there in those charts considering its release
Dead @ Applause (supposedly a huge comeback single) being under Miley, Selena, Ariana etc.. But that is where it should be – all of those songs were better than Applause to be honest – no one wants to hear a mad scientist on a track rambling about wanting applause when it isn’t well-deserved. Truth all wrapped up in a shiny bow for ya’ll Merry Xmas!
Not the queen slaying 2013 with songs from 2012? Where’s ciara
did u read the full list? or u were to lazy?
We Can’t Stop way higher than Diamonds
@NAVY body party is all the way down at 84.
Need a remind folks that Diamonds is a 2012 single so that fact it makes 2013 lists an achievement in itself!
That Harlem Shake even on there is a travesty
The list is terrible!
Especially the Top 10. Really!?
“Blurred Lines,” should have been #1.
And the fact that the forgotten “Girl On Fire,” is Top 50…. Shows the list is a mess!
