I was hopeful that Ke$ha’s reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 would come to an end soon with “Tik Tok” being usurped by Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”. “Bad Romance” set a record for airplay last week, getting 10,859 plays and had good digital sales (currently eighth on iTunes). Now, according to Billboard, “Tik Tok” has broken that record just a week later, lodging more than 11,000 plays last week.

“Tik Tok‘“s initial success was fueled mostly by online sales but now that airplay has caught up (and how!), it could be number one for quite a while.
