"Somebody That I Used To Know" vs. "We Are Young"
VS 
Now that "Somebody That I Used To Know" has finally reached the summit on US iTunes with a 50% lead (and could be even more after their SNL performance this weekend), with increasing airplay and inching closer to "We Are Young"'s OnDemand streaming points, which will claim the #1 on the Hot 100 next week?
Receipts (as of April 11, 2012):
Nielsen BDS Airplay
"We Are Young" - 120 million
"Somebody That I Used To Know" - 61 million
Digital Sales
"We Are Young" - 390,000
"Somebody That I Used To Know" - 311,000
OnDemand Streams
"We Are Young" - 1.1 million
"Somebody That I Used To Know" - 1 million

I LOVE Somebody That I Used to Know and I absolutely hate We Are Young. I don't understand why it's so popular.

WAY and STIUTK are about equal in streaming, so that's nothing.
STIUTK will clearly outsell WAY this week, but will it be enough to make up for airplay? I think so... or at least I hope so.

the only thing interesting about STIUTK is how Kimbra effortlessly steals the limelight
WAY is a better song, so hopefully it blocks STIUTK

Somebody That I Just To know. But I know half of you are gonna hate it as soon as it hits #1 on Billboard and it has the AI of We Are Young. 
No freedom until we're equal, damn right I support it...

Somebody That I Used To Know needed to be #1 six months ago, tbh. But this is its time.

i almost thought it was for personal taste, and i certainly would have looked for that NEITHER option
But, I think it's a close call.
But STIUTK being number one on the global chart for so long is impressive.

Gotye. Gotye looks to sell near or over 500k, so clearly airplay difference won't matter.

Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" rolls well past the 500k mark for the week following his appearance on Saturday Night Live.
