Prediction:  Ke$ha - C'Mon

Ke$ha - "C'Mon":  Will Have Mainstream Radio Success and Chart Highly on the Billboard Hot 100

We have decided that with our "Predictions" page, we will be predicting which songs from popular albums will top the charts.  These posts will pop up every once in a while, only when our editor, DWilliams, has a strong feeling about a certain song.  In this case, it was Ke$ha's latest album, Warrior.  This album has done very well and we decided to give it a listen.  We have decided that the song that we think will top the charts next, will be the third song, "C'Mon".  At this point "C'Mon" is not charting on neither the Billboard Hot 100 nor the iTunes Top 100.  We will update this post if "C'Mon" has any chart success.
