Well I think it is safe to consider the 96-1 or 97-1 jumps as "almost debuts" at 1. They certainly don't represent a slow (or even fast) climb to the top, as they were basically instantaneous. @Chris Molanphy: oooh, interesting.

Since the iTunes era started (early '05), the only No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100 have been <i>American Idol</i> coronation songs, but maybe Britney can overcome that trend. @chachwitablog: Actually, maybe I was wrong about Britney: the full chart’s out, and “3″ doesn’t make an airplay-only debut.

Remember, Womanizer only started at 97 (or 96?), so it seems possible that "3" won't even dent the Hot 100 at all this week. But then again I haven't been listening to radio at all so I have no idea. @cassidy: I sort of agree, except "Down" really only sounds like one Chris Brown song (the only one anyone remembers and/or cares about). And Jay Sean is so much cuter than Chris Brown! And less likely to choke Rihanna. @Chris Molanphy: Ah, I wasn’t sure if she would have enough (any) airplay to make it on the chart at all this week, hence my thought that she might actually debut at 1 rather than just zoom to 1 (or close) next week, the way Womanizer did.

The Chris Brown comparison is apt, because this sounds like just about any his songs. And not nearly as catchy. Downright boring actually. Unseated the Black Eyed Peas you say? Meet the new boss...

On the other hand, I actually really like* "Meet me Halfway" and wouldn't mind hearing it on the radio or at a club. But something else is going to evict "Down" before the Peas get another crack at the top. I'm thinking Britney ("3" is tops at itunes so she could debut at 1 with a huge sales week), "Watcha Say" (if sales/airplay continue to increase as "Down" falls), or something GaGaish. *and by really like, I mean that Fergie's chorus is amazing.
