Every 2010s Hot 100 #1 song's point breakdown

[Deleted]

Well, chart geeks, 2010s has almost come to an end, there has been
exactly 100 #1 songs
since the beginning of 2010 tracking year (the week dated 12/05/2009) until this week (11/10/2018)!

From Empire State of Mind (979th #1) to the current Girls Like You (1078th #1), this decade has seen a huge shift from digital sales domination toward (the annoying) trend to stream songs, which I don't prefer.

Anyways,
every no.1 song's different in some subtle ways, and so are their Hot 100 points, which is the best source to get an idea on how dominant a song is in America.
There're long-running #1 songs that defined an entire summer, 1-weekers that just got lucky, frontloaded songs that got huge debut points, as well as some weak-ass #1 weeks (spoiler alert: the current #1 knows what I'm talking about)... 

I'm pretty sure that you're wondering how many points did each #1 song have in their #1 runs. There are some other posts on Pulse that incompletely ranked some #1 song's points in streaming era or so, so I know that you are interested.




So as Girls Like You wrapping up its #1 run as the 100th chart-topper this decade, it only seems like the appropriate occasion to post a complete Hot 100 point breakdown for every #1 song in 2010s. So that you can see for yourself what songs' points truly earned the #1 spot. You can compare through the years and find out what songs have the biggest weeks at #1 and what songs do not.




Formulas (well, that's the most accurate estimations I have so far. I don't know how much sense Billboard makes to themselves):
12/05/2009-3/17/2012    sales (k)/1 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.025 (mostly passive radio streams)

3/24/2012-2/23/2013      sales (k)/1.3 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.0125
3/2/2013-11/30/2013     sales (k)/1.3 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.05 
12/7/2013-11/29/2014   sales (k)/1.3 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.06 
12/6/2014-2/6/2016 sales (k)/1.2 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.09 
2/13/2016-2/4/2017 sales (k)/0.9 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.11
2/11/2017-7/7/2018 sales (k)/0.8 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.16
7/14/2018-Now sales (k)/0.6 + radio (m)/1 + streaming (m)/0.19 (an ad-supported on-demand stream and youtube stream count as 2/3 of a regular stream)

Note: a passive radio stream (like pandora) has always been half the weight of a regular stream.

I'm very interested in this.

Now before we begin, you can try this pop quiz to see how much you know about #1 songs in 2010s.

Pop Quiz


Rank the dominance of double-digit chart-toppers:
1. Now there has been 12 songs (Despacito (Remix), Uptown Funk, Blurred Lines, See You Again, Closer, Shape of You, God's Plan, We Found Love, Happy, Hello, One Dance, In My Feelings) that topped Hot 100 for 10 or more weeks,
which 2 songs do you think are the most dominant (meaning, with highest average points at #1), and which 2 songs do you think are the least dominant?



The disappointing sales:
2. Sales have withered so hard in recent years. In 2018 Nice for What’s 7th week atop had a recording-breaking mere 8.4% of its points coming from sales.
But when the sales were still good, like, between 2010-2015 there’s 1 song that shared such upset,
and topped Hot 100 while sales accounting for... less than 10% of its points.
Which song is it?


Radio powerhouse:
3. There’s only 1 song in the entire 2010s that topped Hot 100 while radio accounting for more than 50% of its total points. Which song is it?



What truly could have been the longest-running #1 song of the decade?
4. If Uptown Funk! started topping Hot 100 in July 2018 instead of January 2015, just based on its points, how many weeks at no.1 could it spend instead of 14 weeks?


The most even song:
5. In streaming era (since 2012), especially that streaming has been so viciously heavy, it’s hard to keep points balanced between 3 components.
But comparative evenness exists. From over 300 weeks of ragged point distributions, I found the most evenly distributed week for a no.1 song: sales 32.1%, radio 33.3%, streaming 34.6%.
And guess what that song is.


The most polarizing instances:
6. True or False: Hello's first week had more points than Girls Like You's 7 weeks at #1 combined.
7. True or False: If this is the heavily competitive May/June of 2017 instead of late 2018, then there's a chance Girls Like You won't even make top 5 at all let alone 7 weeks at #1, and that its 7 weeks at #1 in average have less points to even make the top 10 in May/June 2017.



70,000+ Club:
From over 450 weeks, there are only 26 weeks where the #1 song has over 70,000 points. That's why 70,000 premium club is marked orange.

8. Huge weeks are not always needed for a song to smash. Now we got smashes in recent memory (since 2015) that made Billboard all-time top 100 (I know Billboard's all-time charts are not based on real points, but still):
www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100-60th-anniversary
I'm talking about Uptown Funk, Shape of You, Closer, Despacito (Remix), rockstar, Perfect

Kind of surprisingly, only 1 of them has a week over 70,000 points. Guess which song.


9. Girls Like You has such measly points at the moment that's really calling for a song to dethrone it. Make you really miss the only week in this entire decade where a song with 70,000+ points is dethroned by another song with 70,000+ points.

You know which week that was?


10. Finally, which artist has the most songs in 70,000+ points club?

[Deleted]

Sales (k) and Raw Sales (k) if applicable: note that Soundscan deducts the Complete My Albums (which means someone pays off rest of the album and it counts as an album sale as a whole, so that the previous purchase for the single would be deducted) numbers from its sales charts, however, for the most part of 2010s Billboard didn't deduct that from Billboard Hot 100,
although Billboard would report the deducted numbers (like Shake It Off fell out of Digital Songs chart on the album release week but Hot 100 still counted its almost 200k sales).
That's why under Sales (k) I put 177k for Shake It Off, and for some songs I marked Raw Sales number (Billboard reported) aside as a reference.

Weighted Streaming (m):
As I explained, radio/programmed streams always count as half the value of a normal stream.
That's why I deducted the values accordingly.
For example, Despacito (Remix) got 69.4m total streams one week, but about 12m is programmed stream, so I deducted 12/2=6m streams from the number, and came to 69.4-6=63.4m Weighted Streams.

Digital #, Radio # and Streaming # are the rankings of the songs on the three component charts.

Digital %, Radio % and Streaming % are what percentage of the song's Hot 100 point's from a component, so that you can finally find out if a song can rock a spotify playlist but be rolling in the deep in the airwaves (comparatively). God's Plan?

Hot 100 Points: It's based on the formulas I just typed in the first post, depending on what era it was.
And, every year is weighted by a different multiplier.

What it means:
For example, in 2010 the weekly Digital Songs #10 sold about 110k, and Radio Songs #10 had about 66m audience impression and about 0.075m radio streams (just a rough estimate, I mean, streaming data before 2012's so hard to find), so that came to 110/1+66/1+0.075/0.025=179, and the multiplier for 2010's *131, so the Hot 100 Points for this would be 179*131=23,449, around 23,500.

And I made sure that each year the number would be about the same for weighting purposes.
Like, in 2017, weekly Digital Songs #10's about 42k, Radio Songs #10 still near 66m, and Streaming Songs #10 was looking at 20m weighted streams, so that came to 42/0.8+66/1+20/0.16=243.5, so the multiplier would be *96 to come close to 23,500 points.



Oh, and if I colored the component chart numbers (mostly under "Weighted Streaming), which means that it's an estimate and not 100% reported (because Billboard doesn't report how much programmed streams a song gets every week).

For Hot 100 Points, a song's week over 60,000 points is considered gold, and a week over 70,000 points, as explained, is the premium status and feeling just like a rockstar!



2010:

Now Tik Tok's huge week was a Christmas week (Christmas week in iTunes era is a huge boost to a song's points), otherwise it's not a very strong year-end #1.

California Gurls and Love the Way You Lie got some strong points back-to-back!

Overall not that many dominant #1s in 2010...

[Deleted]

2011:

This was a flamboyant pop-dominated year.

Bruno Mars got some serious boost on the Christmas week as well! Is it the biggest Hot 100 week of his career (compared to Uptown Funk)? You'll soon find out.

Born This Way was released mid-week for some reason, or it could almost be record-breaking.

Rolling in the Deep (lead single of the biggest album in Billboard history) and Party Rock Anthem are 2 biggest songs of all-time, but they played more of a longevity card instead of huge weekly dominance.
But mid-year's still comparatively exciting, got Katy Perry vs. Rihanna, Katy Perry vs. LMFAO there's more actions.

By the end of the year #1 songs were more hovering in the middle with no huge debuts or frenzied momentum, and that's how We Found Love squeezed 10 weeks at #1 in total. Lucky duck...

This could be a fascinating thread, but those tables are so small as to be illegible, even when opened in their own tab. Can you wrap either the headings or column data to make the text appear larger? And can you use a screenshot (like Snipping Tool) to cut out the whitespace on the left & right margins?

You look like you're using Excel. If you can get to "Format cells", set all cells to "Wrap text". Then narrow down the headings that are wider than the text, so that "Weighted Streaming %" looks more like:
Weighted
Streaming
%

Repeat for the other columns. Get rid of the big empty space between Radio % and Digital %. And don't include that last column (Raw Sales %) at all. It's taking up a lot of real estate and not contributing much.

You don't need to make the text larger if you can make the columns more narrow.

Zooming in doesn't help because a lot of clarity is lost when the image is compacted. Here's how it looks zoomed in from the Imgur image.

2012


As Billboard reduced sales weight, Christmas week only made a 60,000+ club member this time.
Mid year was among the top competitive times of the decade! With We Are Young dethroned at 60,000-level, and Somebody That I Used to Know's huge sales (but only 4 weeks atop sales chart, wtf) and across-the-board dominance.

It's worth noticing that since the cool summer jam Call Me Maybe the air chilled down a bit and the rest of the year's basically just weeks below 40,000 points. Except for... Taylor Swift's Red's lead single that's as hot as the color, with her career best sales number (2012's the peak for digital sales) but no on-demand streaming. It's surprising that it "only" got a little over 60,000 points that week.


Also, it's fascinating that One More Night's 9 weeks at #1 got such steady performance. It got 6 weeks between 37,400 and 38,000 which is some precision. Reminds me of Girls Like You's holding onto the Radio Songs chart at pretty much the same number for 15 weeks. Some Maroon 5.

Lol my excel's currently having problems. I selected part by part to save as pdf at first, but then it's still in print select mode or whatever, and now I can't even click on anything at all. 


I'm just saying, I really don't understand why anyone has trouble seeing the texts. It's just as big as your texts, if not bigger.

2013:


Thrift Shop vs. Harlem Shake's still so hilarious.
Thrift Shop's peak point was a little above 70,000, but it's not even showing here because of Harlem Shake took its attention away.

I mean, still wtf is with Harlem Shake.

Blurred Lines broke the radio record and it's so unbelievable. 228.9m audience impression is really sticking up alongside of Hello's first week sales or Harlem Shake's first week stream. And the fact that the 228.9m audience impression's on its 11st week at #1 is just some mastery. 

That got to be the most competitive fall/winter season this decade. Roar with 70,000+ points (surprise!) and Wrecking Ball peaked only below Harlem Shake and Hello... Roar, Royals both crossed 170m audience impression effortlessly and with robust performances.

Crazy year.

2014:


Christmas gift cards didn't send a song above 60,000 points? What???!

Happy's 226m audience impression's huge, but spent less than 10 week at Radio Songs #1. I can't believe it happened just a year after Blurred Lines. And I can't believe that Girls Like You peaked about 129m in audience impression but spent 15 (and counting) weeks atop Radio Songs. Luck?

Also, I think Happy's streaming numbers had some data errors. I mean, it went from 8m to 3.3m in 2 weeks and I think it's a case of the youtube number wasn't reported or something.

Bunch of tough #1 songs... All of Me was huge on Radio, Fancy huge on streaming, and even Rude almost crossed 170m audience impression, All About that Bass's robust enough to block Shake It Off 8 weeks (no!!!!!)

More blank space for 70,000+ club? Taylor Swift will write her name (a few weeks later)

And I'm happy to say that you got less than half of the questions exactly right. But no biggie. There's just some gaps in our calculations. I don't even know if Billboard 100% sticks to its formula. Some weeks' numbers they posted don't make sense and contradicted with each other a little bit in my calculations. I'm just trying

2015:

Such a golden year! How beautiful it looks!

From Christmas' Blank Space to that summer song as my favorite song of all time's just an epic ride.

Uptown Funk just got everything as a dominant #1 song, big sales, about 190m audience impressions, respectable streaming numbers from a memorable music video, and dance videos went viral and all. It peaked... at 80,000 level because of a school's dancing video. Its peak's the second-biggest among long-reigned #1 songs only trailing Hello.

Oh, did I tell you that Uptown Funk actually had a week 32.1% sales, 33.3% radio and 34.6 streaming, 3 components contributing so evenly?

It's #1 for (only) 14 weeks. According to my estimation, it could get up to 20-25 weeks at #1 at the luckiest scenarios this year.

See You Again though... What a "coincidence" that it just knocked UF off at that particular week... See You Again had some huge weeks and its video once became the most viewed youtube videos of all time in summer 2017.

Justin Bieber debuted high. But Adele's Hello's just a legendary moment for a music artist. It's just the impact of the buzz following up the biggest album of Billboard history.

[Deleted]

2016:

Hello's dominance amassed great points for some weeks until it faded off the charts.

Can't believe that Rihanna's Work had the biggest week in 2016 other than Hello. An odd song with 2 videos.

Justin Timberlake came back with huge sales (it's like, equivalent to 700+k sales in 2010).
And it's ironic that One Dance topped the charts while mostly stuck at #2 in component charts. Two Dance?

If you cringe over how Cheap the Thrills' were, topping Hot 100 with little points, then wait to see how weak-ass 2018 #1 songs have been. Music scene is a funny place this year.

On the bright side, Closer's still amazing, just look at how it proudly dominated across the board until magical 2017.

[owenlovesmusic]

Very interesting.

[Deleted]

2017:


Following Closer, Black Beatles had some streaming numbers.

On the contrary, Shape of You's braving through 12 weeks at #1 with streaming being its weakest link.
Shape of You's the king of airwaves, with 38 weeks in Radio Songs top 10, and it's easily the biggest radio song of this decade. Take that Girls Like You!
Shape of You could literally spend 26 weeks at Radio Songs #1 if it's released this summer. Girls Like You just had to make it look bad, huh?


Despacito (Remix)'s record-typing 16 weeks at #1 is so cool. It stumbled off top 10 after Look What You Made Me Do's release. 

Speaking of which...
That's nearly 100,000 points you're talking about, by far Taylor Swift's biggest Hot 100 week.
That 353k sales is pride for people who still buy music (like me). And its 83.3m streaming pleasantly surprised me that week.

And to cap off the year, funny how a song called "rockstar"'s not rockstar enough even when it's #1.

[Deleted]

2018:

It's this year! Counting toward the magical 100th #1 song of 2010s!

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

Perfect's sales number is so amazing. 181k sales at this era??! 

Drake just dominated this year with historical streaming numbers. It's polarizing and with questionable longevity. God's Plan remained the biggest song as well as the biggest week this year. Since In My Feelings' 116.2m streams got a lot of youtube numbers, its points were reduced by Billboard's new formula.


And dear god... look at Girls Like You's points. In a strong week it shouldn't even make the top 10 with that point.

Please... I need good new songs

I appreciate that you separate by chart year rather than calendar year. Great work!

Holy fuck, GLY was at #1 for 7 weeks with less than half of UF's points at its 14th week? *cringes uncontrollably*

Seriously though, Ariana should utterly crush that #1 spot this week if all it needs is that pitiful amount of points. It has the sales and especially on-demand streams to do it.

Girls Like You is so lucky to have been #1 this long.

This was so interesting! Thank you for doing this!

Some things I noticed which I thought were interesting-

"Blank Space" last week at #1 was huge! As well as "The Monster", was this because of Christmas?

Also shocked at how strong thrift shop was if it wasn't for "Harlem Shake" it would of been #1 for 11 weeks, it deserved that year end #1.

Also I knew girls was weak but jesus in comparison with all the other #1's listed its ridiculous. Amazing/lucky that it went #1 let alone for 7 weeks.

Would love to see this but for #2's to see how close the race was for many of these songs.

12 double-digit-week Hot 100 toppers rankdown (based on average points at #1):

Hello's by far the most dominant long-reign #1.
and impressive that Uptown Funk! managed such high average points in a 14-week run.

Blurred Lines and Happy cornered the third and fourth place here, thanks largely to their record-breaking radio numbers that gave them the extra edge.

Note that In My Feelings' low in average points despite peaked really high.

Oh, and We Found 10 weeks atop in a hopeless place, right?
