I HATE this now, but I'm happy for him.

I was getting tired of this right when I left the US, but almost 2 weeks away from overexposure and I really like it again.

I was getting tired of this right when I left the US, but almost 2 weeks away from overexposure and I really like it again. Me too. But I dare you not to like this as you're driving down the road with the windows down. It's the perfect song for driving on a nice, spring day. I never turn it off when it comes on the radio.

^ I agree... it is perfect for this time of year.
It's so refreshing to have this hit #1 and be such a big smash. It CAN be done, without degrading women or talking about sex all the time.

Looking back on it, I can't believe Mims went to #1 on the Hot 100...that was a HOT song, but it was a huge digital seller and that helped it get to the top, right?
and LOL at Snow "Informer" hitting #1 also...granted, that was 17 years ago, but still...

Currently sitting at #4 on CHR/Pop, and getting big updates... this could go to #1 there.
About 1300 spins behind "Rude Boy" and it's getting big updates, looks like it will be between this and Taio Cruz to replace Rihanna at the top.
Personally, I hope this beats out Taio Cruz. I am sick of both songs, but I'm more sick of "Break Your Heart".
Also, it would be more fitting to see this hit #1 everywhere, rather than have to settle for a #2 peak behind Taio Cruz on Pop. Just wouldn't feel right.

I wouldn't be surprised if this and Taio both went to #1 at Pop.

Although I completely understand its appeal and feel like I SHOULD like this on paper, I just find this so generic and uninteresting. I became tired of it after about five listens.

It's the opposite for me...I didn't care for it at first, but now I really enjoy it. Bruno Mars totally makes this song, though. His hook is just perfection.

Not much of a surprise here, but this is #1 on the Hot 100 for a 2nd week. It looks like it should make it 3.

Yeah it'll probably get a 3rd week before Usher takes over.

We'll see how much Usher sells this week. He probably won't sell enough to overcome the airplay gap just yet, possibly the week after though, he could.

Singer Bruno Mars may not have an album out just yet, but he surely has reason to celebrate after he helped displace Rihanna from her spot atop the Billboard Hot 100 last week. The 23-year-old Hawaii native, who sings the hook to “beautiful girls, all over the world,” on B.o.B’s infectious track “Nothin’ on You,” heard the news of the rapper’s jump to No. 1 while performing in his home state.
“I actually [was] forced to celebrate in Hawaii,” Bruno tells Rap-Up.com. “I booked a gig there. It was a perfect time being at home with my family while it was No. 1; that’s an amazing feeling.” While Mars was excited to relish the moment in front of his fans, he wasn’t able to tip his fedora hat to B.o.B, who was busy promoting the release of his debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray. “This week is gonna be the first time I’ve seen B.o.B since it’s been No. 1 on the charts,” Bruno reveals. “He’s touring everywhere. He has to do ['Nothin' on You'] without me. For my shows, we wrote a little remix, a special live version where we perform a verse and we sing the hook.”
As for knocking Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” off its pedestal, Bruno, who is also part of the production camp The Smeezingtons, felt the accomplishment was well-deserved. “I was happy because we worked so hard,” he continues, “we felt like, ‘If this song doesn’t go, we’re in the wrong business,’ ’cause we never believed in a song so much.”
For years, The Smeezingtons—comprised of Bruno, Phil Lawrence, and Ari Levine—would create records featuring Bruno on the hook, only to have A&R reps replace his vocals with an artist of their choice. “Finally I’m singing the hook and they didn’t replace me with anybody else,” Bruno joyfully exclaims. “They kept me on the hook. When B.o.B put his verses in, it was such a special contrast song. [Rihanna] had her shine, now can we get ours, please?”

B.o.B stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to perform “Nothin’ on You” with Bruno Mars and “Lovelier Than You,” T.I.’s favorite song off his debut The Adventures of Bobby Ray. His album falls to No. 12 in its second week on the Billboard 200, while he scores his second Hot 100 top 10 with “Airplanes.”

Although I still hear this plenty on 95-5 The Beat and Q100, mostly because those two stations are overly conservative with respect to new music, I feel like the hype behind "Airplanes" rapidly and completely overshadowed this even though it was a #1 smash. Basically the same effect "Poker Face" had on "Just Dance."

To me this still feels like a bigger hit than "Airplanes."

To me this still feels like a bigger hit than "Airplanes." Really? I've heard this a 10th of what I hear "Airplanes"...

The NYC stations still KILL this. I hear "Airplanes" constantly but I still hear this more. Then again I also listen to Urban radio, not only Pop.

I don't feel that way... this was already played a HUGE amount by the time "Airplanes" surfaced...
I still hear this quite regularly on local radio and I never really got tired of this, but I am now growing tired of "Airplanes"

I think in the long run, this will be more of a recurrent hit than "Airplanes." There's just something simple and timeless about the melody and the lyrics that will resonate for a while.
