initial Ultimate Chart

WE’LL DRINK TO THAT: The initial weekly edition of BigChampagne’s 100-entry Ultimate Chart, which we told you about yesterday, is now up, and it looks a lot like the iTunes singles chart, despite the fact that the rankings integrate data from online audio and video streaming, social networking fans/friends/followers and airplay as well as sales (i.e., downloads). Here’s the initial Top 10:

1. Eminem f/Rihanna, “Love the Way You Lie”
2. Katy Perry, “California Girls”
3. Shakira, “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”
4. Eminem, “Not Afraid”
5. Justin Bieber, “Baby”
6. Taio Cruz, “Dynamite”
7. B.o.B f/Hayley Williams, “Airplanes”
8. Enrique Iglesias, “I Like It”
9. Lady Gaga, “Alejandro”
10. Travie McCoy, “Billionaire”

Clicking on “Details” for each entry on the main page brings you to a breakdown of ranking by Sales, Broadcast, Watching & Listening and Fans, Friends & Followers, as BigChampagne has dubbed the categories. (7/21a)
