I feel as if 'It Ain't Me" will blast into the top 10 this week like iSpy did, and move up around 7 places (15-8) like iSpy (12-5)

Shape Of You

-0.171

Finally.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

ED SHEERAN Shape Of You 246.331 -0.699
BRUNO MARS That's What I Like 200.348 +2.752

That's from today's kworb daily radio update. So, 1 more daily drop for Shape of You and I'll feel safe to say it has peaked. That said, it would still take That's What I Like a couple of weeks to be able to dethrone it.

THE CHAINSMOKERS & COLDPLAY Something Just Like This 101.845 +2.549

From this I can see it reaching #6 or even #5 by next week's Radio Songs chart.

KYGO X SELENA GOMEZ It Ain't Me 79.578 +1.807

It should be able to reach #12 by next week.

ZEDD & ALESSIA CARA Stay 68.880 +1.482

It should be able to reach #17 by next week.

DRAKE Passionfruit 32.027 +1.969

It should be close to the Top 50 by next week.

HARRY STYLES Sign Of The Times 31.242 +3.777

It should be close to the Top 40 by next week, baring a major Friday correction.

That's What I Like crossed the 200k audience mark!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

On another development I'm happy that Castle on the Hill will get a chance to really become a hit because I loved the song since I first listened to it. I don't expect it to be as big as Shape of You but if it manages to return to the Top 10 of the Hot 100, I'd be thrilled.

'Castle on the Hill' is Ed Sheeran's Next Single From 'Divide'

4/12/2017 by Gary Trust

The song follows "Shape of You," still atop the Hot 100 for an 11th week.

Ed Sheeran's smash "Shape of You" is still No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, leading the list dated (April 22) for an 11th week, but the follow-up single from Sheeran's album ÷ (Divide) has been announced. "Castle on the Hill" will officially begin impacting pop and adult radio effective immediately, according to Atlantic Records.

The move shouldn't come as a surprise, as "Castle" has already been spotlighted: it debuted at No. 6 on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 28, the same week that "Shape" launched at No. 1 (making Sheeran the first artist ever to debut two songs in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously).

Now, "Castle" begins its radio run. Stations have already taken to the song, as it jumps 33-28 on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs chart and debuts at No. 35 on Pop Songs. WNEW New York led all Adult Pop Songs reporters with 71 plays for the song in the week ending April 9, according to Nielsen Music, while WZPL Indianapolis paced all Pop Songs panelists with 96 plays, followed by SiriusXM's Hits 1 (61). "Castle" also rises 9-8, returning to its best rank so far, on the Adult Alternative Songs tally (where the pop-leaning "Shape" has not charted).

"Shape" tops Pop Songs for an eighth week and Adult Pop Songs for a seventh frame. It leads the all-genre Radio Songs chart for a ninth week, up 4 percent to 181 million in airplay audience.

"Castle," which Sheeran wrote and produced with Benjamin Levin (aka, Benny Blanco), who's written 25 Hot 100 top 10s, goes to radio with built-in familiarity, thanks to its arrival (concurrently with "Shape") ahead of the release of ÷. "Castle" has sold 335,000 downloads since its Jan. 6 premiere, making it the No. 22-top-selling track of 2017, per Nielsen Music. "Shape" is the No. 1-selling song of the year (1.7 million, currently the only song to have passed 1 million in sales year-to-date). Likewise, ÷ is the top-selling album of 2017 so far: 535,000 in its first five weeks, dating to its March 3 release. (It spent its first two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.) "Castle" also boasts 119 million U.S. streams to-date.

"'Castle' has been out there and fans love it," Atlantic Records senior vp promotion John McMann recently mused on Billboard's Chart Beat Podcast. McMann added that ballad "Perfect" could follow as the third single from ÷. "Hopefully, if all goes well, the second single gets rolling early this spring, takes us through the summer, and then hopefully 'Perfect' will be the next single that will be this gargantuan thing going into the fourth quarter."

[Dylan :)]

The distance between #1 and #2 is pretty big but the difference between #2 and #3 is :O :O

The answer is that there are other metrics. In streaming, Sam Hunt has a distinct edge over Lauren, for example with 4.5 million Spotify streams for BLABR last week while RLT missed the top 200, meaning it had less than 1.18 million, possibly way lower. In sales, BLABR also curbstomps, with around 70,000 sales last week and RLT trailing *way* behind at around 7,000 sales last week even with a minor discount (its permanent price appears to be $0.99 as opposed to $1.29).

Lauren's airplay is more "label-fueled" while Sam's song is actually a hit (regardless of radio) that people are buying and streaming in relatively large numbers.  That's my theory.

As they have mentioned above, radio airplay is only one of the three major components involved in the Hot 100 calculation. In Digital Song Sales, BLR has been in the Top 5 the last few weeks and in Streaming Songs, it rose 31-24 this week. RLT sadly isn't even in the Top 50 in either of those components. So that's your huge difference their and it should come as no surprise as to why one was #6 while the other #69 in the Hot 100 last week.

It's even more shocking when you consider numbers 3-7 are all in decline; so the #2 song has nearly DOUBLE the audience of its next closest challenger at #8.

Yeah this is pretty much it. To add, "Road Less Traveled" is just now falling from the #1 spot on country radio (currently #2) whereas "Body Like a Back Road" is still moving up on country radio (currently #3) and getting started on HAC radio, so it actually makes sense that the two are essentially even on airplay.

[Envoirment]

Hopefully the announcement of "Castle On The Hill" as the next single will make "Shape Of You" fall faster now. Bruno is looking good for a shot at #1 on the Hot 100 and airplay chart over the next few weeks!

Yeah. I can see That's What I Like at #1 in two weeks, baring any major boost to Humble from Kendrick's new album release that week.

Ikr, imagine how many weeks SOY can log at no.1 in airplay (14-17 weeks) if there's no Bruno Mars' ******* ** single. But neither of the songs is good at all anyways.

[wjr15]

When's the last time there were multiple songs with 200M+ AI at the same time? Looks like SOY and TWIL are going to be dominating the Top 2 for awhile.

The irony in it being Bruno and Ed again. Goes to show both artists have huge multi format radio support.

Didn't both One Dance and Can't Stop The Feeling manage to reach 200m at the same time last summer around June? I remember CSTF in particular having a pretty nuts rise up the charts.

I checked Hello & Sorry, but forgot about those 2 mistakenly.

[Deleted]

I thought Sorry topped out at around 180-190m, but didn't drop as fast as Hello. That may have helped it reach #1.

I checked the Chart Beat articles for the 3 weeks Sorry was at #1 and its audience was 140-145 MM those weeks. Hello still was #1 in Radio Songs with over 150 MM those weeks. The one thing that helped Sorry most be #1 those weeks was Streaming Songs. It had been #1 for 6 weeks in that chart by the time its last week at #1 in the Hot 100 happened.

That's Nielsen Airplay. I think they were talking about Mediabase Airplay.

Probably so. In the end, the former is what Billboard uses toward the Hot 100.

Very pleased That's What I Like exceeded what 24K Magic's performance which was a little underwhelming
