Saturday's Daily Dozen (Dec 15, 2012)

Bruno Mars' LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN again grows its TotalPlaysMonitored tally (to 18,843) to further secure its hold on TPM Number One, growing its advantage over runner-up DIE YOUNG from Ke$ha to 1188 - and nothing else is even within striking distance right now ... But still racing toward that goal is The Lumineers' HO HEY, up for the week to date 7-5, and today passing 14,000 total plays across our components in a one-week period ... Speaking of up, Phillip Phillips' HOME ascends this day 8-7 (passing Ne-Yo's LET ME LOVE YOU), and P!nk's TRY is the latest to pass the now-declining Alex Clare hit TOO CLOSE, a day after Flo Rida's I CRY did the same. TRY rises 11-10, right behind I CRY ... Still stuck in the anchor position for the Dozen, Ed Sheeran's THE A TEAM continues growing its total plays tally, but has a distance to go to be the next to pass TOO CLOSE ...
