Thursday's TPM Daily Dozen (Dec 13, 2012)

TPM Number One, Bruno Mars' LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN, still not at the top of either of our chart-influencing components, is now the runaway leader for Total Popular-ity -- 1057 total plays ahead of runner-up DIE YOUNG from Ke$ha, which continues small renewed gains. It looks like it will be a long run for LOCKED at the top of Total Popular Music -- into 2013 ... UNLESS ... The only short range potential threat to Bruno comes from The Lumineers with their runaway SuperHit HO HEY, up yeterday 7-6, up again today 6-5. But, realistically, right now HO HEY is 4300 TotalPlaysMonitored behind LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN ... Phillip Phillips doesn't appear ready to go home for the holidays. His HOME likes our Daily Dozen, and with renewed gains gets closer to ascending 8-7 before the current chart week is over ... TOO CLOSE continues losing total plays now at the speed of sound. That should help Flo Rida's I CRY soon see a 10-9 rise ... UNLESS ... P!nk's SuperGaining TRY leaps ahead of I CRY -- but P!nk's latest will have to TRY hard to make Flo Rida CRY! ...
