Bieber is releasing his new song on Thursday, so those initial first day sales, streams, and airplay will go toward this week. It's possible that there might not be enough for it go to #1 during Despacito's possible 16th week. It will definitely be a fun week to watch the charts though.

What if Taylor also releases her lead single this week along with Justin bieber? Who would be number 1 do you guys think? I don't know who would get the #1, but I know who would be the #3; Despacito . Definitely, but tbh I thought Taylor would get the number 1 since she's been gone for longer. Demi must really not like Despacito.

Taylor is definitely not going to release against Biebz, she wouldn't stand a chance against his streaming fanbase on first week. Her team is not that stupid.

He knows he's getting blasted in streaming But like it probably won't matter lol. 15th week is pretty closed to locked and if Friends sells well besides the first day Justin will be number one and Wild Thots will still not be number one

DJ Khaled lmao
This has to be one of the most draining chart periods ever. People desperately want Despacito to break the record, but people also desperately want Wild Thoughts to somehow get at least one week in at #1 before big names release.
Can't wait until it's all over tbh..

Three songs from the movie "Waiting To Exhale" (lol) with "Exhale" by Whitney Houston actually peaking at #1 just week before "One Sweet Day" replaced it. This should go to the "Funny Chart Coincidences" thread Also "Missing" by Everything But The Girl

Sidenote: I never realized how big "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" was, considering it would've been #1 for twelve weeks without "One Sweet Day." I feel like it gets lost in the shuffle of other Whitney hits. [Context: I was 5 years old at the time]

Exhale missed the top 10 on pop radio (R&R's pop chart) which was the only chart I followed back then (pre-internet when Billboard wasn't accessible to me) so while it felt bigger than its peak to me at the time, it doesn't feel as big as a would-be 12-week Hot 100 #1 either. Granted, R&B music wasn't represented well where I come from so that likely plays a significant role in downplaying the success of the song and the soundtrack, but Waiting To Exhale as a whole definitely did feel like an event despite all that.

I remember Missing being the #1 CHR song of 1996 over OSD.

I guess that's why both versions are currently in the green and rising on iTunes.

[Context: I was 5 years old at the time] In all fairness, Exhale Shoop, Shoop wasn't as big as Whitney Houston's other soundtrack single, I Will Always Love You. However, its time at #2 is the longest after a single spent time at #1 (I believe).
