Friday's Daily Dozen (Dec 14, 2012)

TPM Number One, Bruno Mars' LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN reaches 18,770 TotalPlaysMonitored across our components, 1135 ahead of runner-up DIE YOUNG from Ke$ha. That's up from 1057 yesterday -- and LOCKED is still nowhere near its ultimate peak at TPM or either of our chart-influencing components ... We play another round today of "Who Will Be Next to Pass?" the now-declining Alex Clare hit TOO CLOSE. And the winner is Flo Rida's I CRY, up 10-9 ... Other gainers today include Rihanna's DIAMONDS, The Lumineers' HO HEY (adding another 304 to its tally from Thursday), Phillip Phillips' HOME, Pink's TRY and Ed Sheeran's THE A TEAM ... Two songs just below Today's Twelve are getting anxious to enter the Dozen: BEAUTY AND A BEAT from Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift's I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE, which is below BEAUTY but gaining on it daily and could jump ahead by the time there's an opening in the Daily Dozen! ...
