I wish her team would send/push this to radio ASAP. I think it would do really great and go top 10 on Urban/Rhythmic. Her most radio-friendly single so far.
Although based on the mock-up/spincrease updates, it looks like it will make top 50 on both formats.

I Had Some Help is expected to be performed at this week's ACM Awards on Thursday. This should help give the song one last boost for the week (not like it needs it) and a boost to start the next tracking week. Also, obviously the song has lost some streaming on Spotify (and likely elsewhere). What caused the TOTC prediction to increase by over 50 points? Was it just a super conservative early number or airplay just exploded? 20(+5) Post Malone - I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen) 38.93(+5.18) Likely a combination of higher airplay, higher sales and high streaming. Despite its decreases on spotify, it's #2 on Apple Music still and is likely doing quite a lot of streams on Amazon in particular.

"Birds of a Feather" sounds really good from the snippet!
Have some tickets to see her next year *_* I hope she outdoes expectactions streaming-wise when the album drops (assuming it is a great album!).

I think this'll become song of the summer and spend a long time at/near the top spot. This should do very well on radio. I can see it going to #1 on Country/Pop/HAC which should give it quite a nice total AI. Might be the first song in a while to get to 100 million overall audience.

Her videos are so on point this era, the visuals! The song is good as well and is quite catchy. Hopefully another Top 40 on Hot 100 and it'll get sent to radio? Although to me this seems like a statement song, particularly with the end of the video. Perhaps she's going to release another song soon? Or maybe I'm thinking too much? Either way 3/3 for me, can't wait for the album *_*

Interested to see Kendrick's spotify numbers tomorrow. Might be able to get 3 top 10s and 4 top 20s on the upcoming Hot 100? *_*

Yet another diss track from Kendrick and dare I say his best so far? Can see it being massive.

Kendrick's "Not Like Us" is probably my favourite he's done so far, damn!
Apple Music
1. Kendrick Lamar - "euphoria" 4. Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar - "Like That" 33. Kendrick Lamar - "Not Like Us"
3. Drake - "Family Matters" 8. Drake - "Push Ups"
Expecting "Not Like Us" to zoom into the top 10 and "meets the grahams" to debut in the next updates.

I'm really liking the album! The only track I'm not bothered about is "Anything For Love".
Shame the initial streaming is quite low. Perhaps it'll manage to hold on well?
I assume they might release a 4th single with a significant feature/remix. Then release a deluxe edition later this year with a big hit. Perhaps the deluxe including "Dance The Night" to help streaming numbers.

Looks like it will get just two weeks at #1 billboard. Being rapidly overtaken by Million Dollar Baby and Tipsy and Espresso. Can't forget about Euphoria, I think it's challenging for No. 1 Also Drake & Kendrick dropped two more songs today which may challenge for the top spot (Kendrick in particular).

We looking at Kendrick & Drake fighting for #1 on the Hot 100 this week then? The fact Kendrick might have 2 top 10 hits from this in the upcoming week damn!

If you think so I respect that. I just think II Most Wanted is the strongest singles wise. But then again I also thought Alien Superstar was terrible. Lol That being said. Rooting for this to go top 10! Would be cool to see it grab a week at #1 on the hot 100 eventually.I don't see that happening unless Beyoncé decides to play the game. And by that I mean releases a video of the song to increase streams along with a live performance. Perhaps SNL with her & Miley doing the duet live with the video being uploaded ASAP/going viral. But I think Beyoncé is in a place where she does what she wants and lets the music speak for itself. Still hoping "Bodyguard" might get sent to radio in June/July. Perfect for the summer.

I was hoping this would have made top 5 on Pop given most songs in the top 10 declining, but oh well. At least it became a really nice sized #1 hit for Beyoncé!

Yes please! I think they'll hold off until late May/early June. By then "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" should have got to #1 and be starting to decline.

I hope we might get some info on the next album after her Munich shows later this year or when her Vegas residency ends in November. Although part of me feels that we won't get an album until 2026 at the earliest and Adele may do random shows/"residencies" throughout 2025.

Still wild to me that #19 has over 1.3 million streams. Music is back, y'all! The amazing thing is if you were take take out Taylor's album, the entire top 20 would be over 1 million. Currently 37 songs over 1 million - 22 without Taylor. Spotify's aggressive marketing campaign over the last year seems to have paid off a lot. I would be interested to see just how much more of a market share of the streaming market they have compared to Amazon & Apple Music now. The larger their market share, the most visibility we have to streaming numbers which is great.

Now top 50 on Urban & Rhythmic Radio Urban 45 42 GLORILLA & MEGAN THEE STALLION Wanna Be 472 345 127 1.594 Rhythmic 56 44 GLORILLA & MEGAN THEE STALLION Wanna Be 225 131 94 0.238 Back at #1 on the US daily youtube chart, #48 spotify & #19 on Apple Music. Has held up really well in the face of the Taylor album bomb. Should hopefully start climbing a bunch as the Taylor's album begins to drop down a bit. Hopefully the label will fully push this to Urban/Rhythmic now - with airplay support I wouldn't be surprised at it becoming a top 10 hit in the coming months. Juan Carlos could you move this to the Urban/Rhythmic forum now it's top 50 on both formats?

Billboard Top 10 from 60 years ago: May 2, 196402 04 Hello, Dolly! - Louis Armstrong What an iconic song and run — going number one at 63 years old (next week). Obviously, an incredible legend who well deserved it 60 years ago. Does anyone think a 60+ year old artist could go number one today? Who? Coming for #1 in Christmas 2035 after year by year gaining on Mariah, Brenda and the likes!

This has been holding up really well in streaming and is gaining again. With radio on board, wouldn't be surprised to see this go top 5 on the Hot 100 in a few weeks or so as Taylor's album bomb's impact reduces.

I was hoping for something more along the vein of "Love Lies" or "Wild Side". Or something like Muni Long's "Made For Me".
Whilst this is pretty and would make a nice album track, the hook isn't particularly strong.
I hope it proves me wrong and manages to become a decent sized hit though. I'm sure it'll do really well on R&B radio and will likely make a splash on Urban/Rhythmic!

The Adele numbers are just absurd lol. The untouchable 3.5 million is one thing... but two additional weeks over 1.1 million? And another over 800k right? If it was the early 2000s when album sales were huge, I don't think I'd blink. But for 2015? It's mind-boggling. Week 1 - 3,480,000 Week 2 - 1,110,000 Week 3 - 695,000 Week 4 - 790,000 Week 5 - 1,160,000 Week 6 - 307,000 5 weeks over 500k/6 weeks over 300k. It wasn't just its debut week but how it sustained itself throughout the holiday period and increasing sales in week 4 and 5 in the run up to Christmas, just amazing. The UK numbers are just as absurd, if not even more so considering the population if 5x less than the US: Week 1 - 800,307 Week 2 - 439,337 Week 3 - 353,765 Week 4 - 376,716 Week 5 - 449,870 Week 6 - 75,783 It was such a great time as a chart watcher! Amazing to see Taylor get such high numbers as well. I hope one day we'll see another artist repeat what Adele & Taylor both managed to do despite doing it in a backdrop of declining album sales.

Do we think the album will get a second week over 1 million? Would be amazing if Taylor could also do that! Although I assume that might be quite difficult? What were the seocnd week drops of Midnights and 1989 (Taylor's Version)?

Have we had any updated projections? I'm not entirely sure Taylor will manage the top 10 again? I think "Guilty As Sin" was the projected #10 but "Too Sweet" overtook it yesterday on spotify and has extended its lead on spotify today. Which will likely increase again tomorrow. It might be quite close?

Hopefully not.... the songs at #2-#6 are all falling so if this keeps holding on it should get into the top 5 fairly easily. :( I'm also hoping the Taylor effect is still taking away some spins slightly...

I will not stand for the slander of "Fortnight". Fast becoming one of my favourite singles she's released and the music video is great too. Certainly going to be a big hit in its own right!

The song feels dead and buried now, I still think they need to drop another single asap. You say that but it's been re-entering/climbing on Apple Music/Spotify in Europe despite the Taylor album bomb. I'm surprised the label didn't full push this to radio, particularly in Europe. It may still manage to do something/go viral. But lack of support from the label will likely means it'll fade away again.

Adele simply waited too long to release 30. Although 25 was undeniably massive, its singles (except "Hello") didn't have the impact/longevity of most of 21's. The era also felt pretty short compared to 21. Though it would've been hard to avoid how front-loaded it was, I think she could've kept the momentum going a bit longer. She probably should've released in 2019. The reason for that was that they weren't available on streaming services until they were given an offical impact date. "When We Were Young" wasn't released to streaming services until it was announced as the second single in January 2016. By which time the album had already sold huges amounts of copies. The album itself wasn't released to streaming until June 2016. I would argue "When We Were Young" definitely had an impact as big as the singles from 21 and has become a classic in its own right. It's a shame we don't have updated US certifications for Adele's songs/albums. 25 has proven itself to stream really great - on par or even better than 21 in some aspects. In terms of 30 I agree they waited too long, but they couldn't have forseen the pandemic happening. It was meant to release in Q4 of 2020. By the time they did release 30 Adele was already kind of over the album. I believe they would've pushed 1-2 more singles (the label likely pushed Adele to record/include "Can I get It" to be a single for summer 2022). But the whole mess with her Vegas residency happened which is what I think was the ultimate nail in the coffin. Had the vegas residency gone as expected, they would've likely pushed 2 more singles ("I Drink Wine" in the spring - she performed it at the BRITS and the video had been recorded months ago & "Can I Get It" in the summer). Instead Adele seeemed to want to have as low as a profile as possible after that happened. Likely to try and ride out some of the backlash, but also she was likely completely done with the album by that point unfortunately... It was quite heartbreaking after waiting so long for her to have another era for it to be completely done after ~3 months. Since then her Vegas residency has gone really well and her dates in August in Munich will likely go just as well. I think one of the things that hurts Adele's numbers is her lack of touring as well. She's only done 1 world tour vs Taylor's 6. Touring is a great way to build a really loyal fanbase which help with the first week numbers and long-term streaming of the album. I'm hopeful that Adele's next era will be able to do well (likely won't be until 2025-2026 at the earliest if she doesn't have another baby by then) with a large opening. But back to Taylor, 1.6 million SPS is amazing first day! Guarenteed to do 2 million now with just the streaming for the rest of the week. I expect she'll do between 2.3-2.5 million overall? Unless her and her team decide to try to do things midweek like drop a deluxe version with more tracks or drop the actual double album physical in store? Perhaps dropping some prices etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor somehow does 3 million at this point.

Not too bad of a second day drop. The most of her albums so far which is expected due to the huge debut numbers and the high number of tracks. Will likely see fairly big drops in the coming days, but still at very high streaming overall. I'm hoping some of my favourite album tracks will stablise better and climb above a number of the other album tracks.
I'm not too sure she'll manage to occupy the entire top 10. I can see "Too Sweet" and "Like That" occupying somewhere in the bottom top 10. Perhaps even Drake somewhere in the mix if he holds on well.
