Nooo, Missy is #1 on bubbling...THANK YOU Taylor Swift Even though the album was surprisingly good, this is probably one of my least favourite album bombs, and would definitely be my least favourite if it killed off Earfquake and Never Really Over like it almost did.

^Surprisingly to me, though, God's Country and Whiskey Glasses survived it.
In another Hot 100 chart oddity, Me! gained the Digital Gainer award this week, but didn't even make the Digital Song Sales top 50, due to the "complete my album" rule, probably.

I'm fine with old songs and underperformers dropping out thanks the album bombs. I love NRO but a couple more weeks at #95 won't make it the hit that I wanted it to be.

Apparently Me! has something weird going on with its points (according to simmnfierzig), it does seem fishy. Me!: #33 Streaming Songs N/A Radio Songs We don't know how much it actually sold last week since the 'Complete My Album' rule, but Kworb has it projected for #14 in Sales last week with 9K. How does that all equate to #11 on Hot 100?

Why did YNTCD and ME disappear off of the sales chart? I remember the same happened to I Dont Care album release week. And how come BB didnβt acknowledge their (or Lovers) sales total for the week in the article Complete My Album on iTunes counts as a return of the single, otherwise a negative sale. This used to be reflected on the Hot 100 as well as current singles from a new album would fall due to a negative sales number, but a few years into the decade they decided to count just the individual sales of the tracks for the Hot 100, but the returns still factored into the Digital Songs chart. It's... weird and a little complicated. would this be why songs on the UK singles chart drop off without warning and then return the next week? It happened with I Donβt Care & Grace (Lewis Capaldi)

It happened with I Donβt Care & Grace (Lewis Capaldi) I'm not sure for the Lewis Capaldi situation, but I'm pretty sure that the week I Don't Care left the UK chart was because of the rule that they have where only 3 songs per album can chart at the time. This was actually done because when Ed Sheeran released Divide, he occupied most of the top 10. So as a way for that to not happen again, they made it so that only the three highest songs from one album can chart.

If they hadn't made the new rule of 3 songs per artist (not album), Ed would've occupied almost half the entire top 40 for ages. That wouldn've completely ruined the chart imo, especially as so many new/up and coming artists would've missed top 10/20/40 places because of it.

I'm personally of the opinion that the charts should reflect the actual buying/listening habits of the public, but yes, that would mean far fewer chart entries because of enduringly popular songs that linger for a long time. That's just how life goes.

Taylor Swift's Next Radio Single Is the 'Lover' Title Track
9/5/2019 by Gary Trust
The song is trending to debut on next week's Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and Adult Contemporary airplay charts. The next official radio single from Taylor Swift's new album Lover is the title track.
The ballad is trending to debut on next week's Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and Adult Contemporary radio airplay charts (dated Sept. 14), according to building Nielsen Music data.
The song is the third promoted radio single from Lover, following "Me!," featuring Brendon Urie, and "You Need to Calm Down." "Me!" reached Nos. 5, 6 and 7, respectively, on Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and AC. "Calm" climbs to a new No. 5 high on the latest, Sept. 7-dated Adult Pop Songs chart, after hitting No. 9 on Pop Songs and No. 24 on AC.
The Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and AC charts measure total weekly plays, as tabulated by Nielsen Music, among their reporting panels of 166, 85 and 86 stations, respectively.
As previously reported, "Lover" this week vaults 19-10, after the release of its official video on Aug. 22, on the all-genre streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 25th top 10, while Lover, released on Republic Records, launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the biggest consumption and sales week since her last LP, 2017's Reputation.

So among my many professional exploits, I sing for several weddings each year. So many people have asked me about it, I'm working on a cover to try and post ASAP so people will know I can perform it. This song is going to be the next monster for that market. The iconic wedding anthem for younger Millennials and GenZ.

How Post Malone Is 2019's Most Consistently Successful Pop Star 9/5/2019 by Andrew Unterberger
An extremely unusual thing happened with the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week: Post Malone wasn't on it.
Yes, for the first time this calendar year -- the first time since the Hot 100 dated Dec. 22, 2018, a 37-week streak in all -- the artist born Austin Richard Post was nowhere to be found within the chart's top 10 slots. He had been represented by one or multiple songs in every week since then, first with the chart-topping Swae Lee teamup "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)," then with his own No. 2-peaking solo smash "Wow." and then finally with his Young Thug collab "Goodbyes," which debuted at No. 3 in July.
Not that he's disappeared from the chart altogether, though -- all three hits are still in the top 40, with "Goodbyes" sliding to No. 12, "Sunflower" at No. 17 and "Wow." still hanging on at No. 35. And what's more, the Post-less drought in the top tier should probably last just the one week, as next week's chart will reflect the debut of the singer/rapper's new single -- the alt-leaning "Circles" -- and then immediately after that comes the release of his third full-length album, Hollywood's Bleeding. It might be a little while before we see a top 10 without Post Malone on it again.
At this point, Post Malone on the charts just sort of feels like a fact of life. It's only been four years since he first broke out with the viral rap hit "White Iverson," but since then he's shed the one-hit wonder tag that plagued him for about a year -- until the success of debut album Stoney and its most popular single, the Quavo-featuring "Congratulations," made it clear he wasn't going away that easily -- to prove himself arguably pop's most consistent performer. He's scored six top 5 hits on the Hot 100, including three chart-toppers in "Sunflower," "Psycho" (with Ty Dolla $ign) and "Rockstar" (with 21 Savage); he's charted all 18 songs off his Billboard 200-besting sophomore LP Beerbongs and Bentleys; he's smashed streaming records, and been nominated for Grammys -- in pop, rap, and all-genre categories.
And he's done it all a little... quietly? New album Hollywood's Bleeding arrives without a major press campaign behind it, without any major narrative hook preceding it, without really anyone saying all that much about it or what it might mean -- least of all Post himself. He's wormed his way so deep into pop's center that top 40 now conforms to meet him, not the other away around: When "Circles" debuts and represents an almost total musical about-face for the artist, trading trap beats and booming bass for a loping Rex Orange County-type groove, there's no handwringing about what it means for Post and his career. Instead, it just immediately shoots to the top of the Spotify charts, while radio programmers nationwide shrug and place it into heavy rotation. It's good to be Post Malone in 2019.
Which isn't to say it's always been easy for the Post-man. He had an unexpectedly perilous 2018, a year in which he experienced so many unlikely brushes with mortality that fans eventually wondered if he was the victim of a historical curse. More pressingly, part of the reason behind him letting the music speak for itself at this point no doubt comes due to his having been burned in the past, by writers and critics who have taken him to task for a variety of complaints -- ranging from a lack of originality or depth to his music, to a lack of respect for the hip-hop culture that he draws from, and the struggles he has the privilege to bypass by virtue of being white. None of these grievances have come totally without merit, and Post has struggled in the past to coherently defend himself against them, thus making his current media strategy of barely any media engagement at all a fairly logical one.
But for better or worse, Post Malone's success has outlived the criticism. Whatever the critics end up saying about Hollywood's Bleeding (and they certainly had their opinions about Beerbongs and Bentleys), its status as a commercial blockbuster is practically pre-ordained: "Sunflower," "Wow." and "Goodbyes" already give it three smash hits -- top 10s on both radio and streaming -- and "Circles" seems well on its way to becoming its fourth. Given Post's recent track record, and the star-studded list of features on Bleeding tracks still to come (including fellow '10s stars Future, Meek Mill, Travis Scott, Halsey, SZA and Lil Baby), there's almost zero chance that the set doesn't become of one of the year's biggest, regardless of what anyone has to write about it.
Of course, it's unlikely that Post Malone will thrive to this degree forever -- maybe he'll finally attract criticism that actually does affect his popularity, or maybe musical trends will simply start to drift away from his post-genre sense of smoked-out melancholy hedonism. But at the end of the 2010s, there might not be a safer bet in pop music on a song-by-song basis -- maybe not Taylor Swift, and maybe not even Drake, both of whom swing too big to not miss at least occasionally -- than Austin Richard Post. And when the 2020s start, smart money would be on his smiling face being front and center in the Hot 100's top 10.

She follows Finneas O'Connell as the only act to rule both rankings simultaneously.
Taylor Swift leads Billboard's Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, the former for a second week and the latter for the first time, thanks to an explosive week on the Billboard Hot 100 following the arrival of her new album Lover.
She rules both charts concurrently, as she charts 18 Hot 100 entries (the entirety of Lover) that she either wrote or co-wrote and co-produced.
Here's a look at all the songs Swift wrote on the latest Hot 100, with additional co-songwriters in parentheses:
Rank, Title (songwriters in addition to Swift) No. 4, "You Need to Calm Down" (Joel Little) No. 10, "Lover" No. 11, "ME!" (Little, Brendon Urie) No. 23, "The Man" (Little) No. 28, "I Forgot That You Existed" (Louis Bell, Frank Dukes) No. 29, "Cruel Summer" (Jack Antonoff, St. Vincent) No. 38, "The Archer" (Antonoff) No. 45, "Paper Rings" (Antonoff) No. 49, "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" (Little) No. 51, "I Think He Knows" (Antonoff) No. 57, "Cornelia Street" No. 62, "London Boy" (Antonoff, Cautious Clay, Mark Anthony Spears) No. 63, "Soon You'll Get Better" (Antonoff) No. 67, "Death by a Thousand Cuts" (Antonoff) No. 75, "Afterglow" (Bell, Dukes) No. 77, "False God" (Antonoff) No. 89, "Daylight" No. 92, "It's Nice to Have a Friend" (Bell, Dukes)
As for production, Swift co-produced the songs listed above at Nos. 4, 11, 23 and 49 with Little; Nos. 10, 29, 38, 45, 51, 57, 63, 67, 77 and 89 with Antonoff; No. 62 with Antonoff and Sounwave; and Nos. 28, 75 and 92 with Bell and Dukes.
Swift logs her second straight week atop the Songwriters tally, becoming the third artist to log multiple weeks at No. 1 (dating to the list's mid-June launch), after Finneas O'Connell (nine total weeks on top) and Billie Eilish (three).
Swift also becomes just the third artist to pace the Producers ranking, after Lover collaborator Bell and O'Connell. Bell led for nine consecutive weeks and dips to No. 3 on the latest list, behind Swift and Antonoff.
O'Connell is the only other act to top both the Songwriters and Producers charts concurrently, as he achieved the feat in back-to-back-to-back weeks in June.
The weekly Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100; plus, genre-based songwriter and producer charts follow the same methodology based on corresponding "Hot"-named genre charts. As with Billboard's yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings).
Among other moves, Lizzo and Ricky Reed debut on Hot 100 Songwriters at No. 7, thanks to a trio of entries on the Hot 100: "Truth Hurts" (co-written with Steven Cheung and Jesse Saint John) logs its first week at No. 1; "Good as Hell" (written by Lizzo and Reed only) debuts at No. 52; and "Juice" (co-written with Theron Thomas) re-enters at No. 82.
The full Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, in addition to the full genre rankings, can be found on Billboard.com.
