What happened to ballads on CHR? I've noticed a drop-off all decade

I have heard theories that Celine's MHWGO was so overplayed that it changed the programming paradigm, and outside of American Idol Coronation songs and midtempo r&b singles (like Usher's Burn or Bleeding Love) big hit ballads have been few & far between. I wonder why.

I think it's essentially a combination of changing tastes and changing production trends. The beat and bass of a song have become more prominent in popular music in general over the past 10 years, which goes against the delicate "build-up" structure of songs like MHWGO, Un-Break My Heart, I Will Always Love You, etc. The closest thing to that type of song was Big Girls Don't Cry and even that had a beat under it during every chorus, whereas during the 80's or 90's the first chorus usually would not have one.

[David]

What's the last straight up ballad (not a modern one with a beat behind it) to be a hit? Was it really Glitter in the Air? I know it didn't do anything on Pop, but it did go Top 10 on HAC, which has also lacked straight up ballads too. I can't believe we haven't had one on Pop in that long though.

[Deleted]

Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" went top 10 at pop radio and that was a fairly "traditional" ballad.

[Caviar]

^ This. I'm still shocked it did that well back then. I still love that song.

I'm lovin' this GaGa and Katy Perry updates.

I have a really strong suspicion that GaGa's TEOG airplay will be her biggest one, with a possibility of grabbing that #1 on the Hot 100.

What I don't like at all, is that it always seem like only 4-5 songs who are receiving this great updates, and all the rest (with some good songs there) receive mediocre ones.

[HolidayGuy]

Too early to say that "I'm into You" may not outdo its initial No. 72 peak? Or maybe that it won't crack top 40? Place those bets. ;) It seems to be seesawing between gains and losses, with nothing significant on either end. This is its impact week at pop, while it apparently had its impact at rhythmic and urban weeks ago.

"The Edge of Glory" is seeing terrific airplay gains. "Just the Way You Are" back on the positive. lol

Looks like Nicki will finally be in the top ten.

Seeing LFN's gains on iTunes it seems like Katy is in no danger of losing her top ten streak as ET is barely budging.

[HolidayGuy]

^You mean of losing the top 10 streak, yes? :)

The gap between RITD and GME is shrinking, but Adele should hold on for at least one more week after this, I'd think.

GaGa's AI :O

So OTF finally fell out of the top 10 of the digital sales chart. It has done superb for a song with a so-so airplay.

How much has it sold? Close to 3 million?

[badrobot]

^So-so airplay?! On the Floor is a top 5 airplay hit. Not sure when that came to mean just "so-so."

What was it's peak airplay though? Close to 90M? So-So is not the proper word, but for a song that has topped the digital sales chart for two weeks, and has stayed in the top 10 all it's chart run, I'd say so.

[HolidayGuy]

^"On the Floor" did drop from the top 10 for one week, before rebounding. it has done very well- probably one of those one-notable-it-singles-from-the-album deals, though.

Billboard:

Adele 'Rolling' Along Atop Hot 100, Jason Aldean & Nicki Minaj Reach Top 10
by Gary Trust, N.Y. | June 15, 2011

Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" logs a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart to be released Thursday (June 16) on Billboard.com, while Jason Aldean and Nicki Minaj enter the top 10.

"Rolling in the Deep" spends a third week atop Radio Songs (151 million in audience, up 1%, according to Nielsen BDS). The multi-format smash rewrites the weekly plays record (5,109) on the Adult Pop Songs airplay survey for a fifth straight week, tops Pop Songs for a third week and bullets as the Greatest Gainer at No. 2 on Adult Contemporary.


On Digital Songs, "Deep" claims a sixth frame at No. 1 (224,000 downloads sold, down 8%, according to Nielsen SoundScan).

Pitbull's "Give Me Everything," featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack and Nayer, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, pushing 3-2 on Radio Songs (129 million, up 11%). The track spends a fourth week at No. 2 on Digital Songs (211,000, down 3%).

LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, jumps 6-3 on the Hot 100 with Airplay Gainer honors. The song zooms 16-9 on Radio Songs (67 million, up 34%). On Digital Songs, it holds at No. 3 (189,000, up 12%).

Katy Perry's former Hot 100 No. 1 "E.T.," featuring Kanye West, dips 3-4 and Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song" saunters 4-5.

Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" rises 7-6 on the Hot 100. The song drops 4-5 on Digital Songs (154,000, down 7%) but bounds 15-10 on Radio Songs (67 million, up 31%), fueled by advances on Pop Songs (10-8) and Adult Pop Songs (22-14 as the chart's Greatest Gainer).


Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," featuring Pitbull, slides 5-7 on the Hot 100 and the Black Eyed Peas' former No. 3-peaking "Just Can't Get Enough" holds at No. 8.

Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" speeds 23-9 with the Hot 100's Digital Gainer award. As it flies 16-4 on Digital Songs with 169,000 downloads sold (up 99%), the song nets the second-best weekly sum for a male country artist. 2011 "American Idol" champion Scotty McCreery's "I Love You This Big" began with 171,000 two weeks ago.


Aldean performed "Anthem" with Ludacris on the CMT Awards (June 8). A new studio version of the song with the rapper was released June 7 and its 75,000-unit first-week download total accounts for 44% of the title's overall download total.

With the vault, Aldean surpasses his previous best Hot 100 showing, reaped with "Big Green Tractor" (No. 18, 2009).

Nicki Minaj earns her first Hot 100 top 10 as a lead artist, as "Super Bass" steps 11-10. The cut climbs 8-6 on Digital Songs (143,000, up 8%) and blasts 31-14 on Radio Songs (50 million, up 38%).

Minaj had previously ranked in the top 10 last year as a featured act on Trey Songz's "Bottoms Up" (No. 6).

Paramore heads up nine new titles (eight debuts and a re-entry) on the Hot 100, as "Monster" creeps in at No. 36. The song, from the "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" soundtrack, due on next week's charts, starts at No. 16 on Digital Songs (88,000). The Digital Songs entrance marks the group's best rank on the list since debut entry "Misery Business" reached No. 11 in 2007.

The Band Perry's "If I Die Young" returns to the Hot 100 at No. 46 after inking a 28-week chart run between July and January. The song peaked at No. 19 in October on its way to reaching the Country Songs summit in December. The ballad, which "Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina performed on the series' May 17 episode, has been promoted to pop and adult radio since early this year and re-enters the Hot 100 powered by No. 29 rankings on Pop Songs and Adult Contemporary and a No. 32 bow on Adult Pop Songs. On Digital Songs, the track rebounds 44-36 (49,000, up 21%).

Other notable Hot 100 debuts include Brad Paisley's "Remind Me," with Carrie Underwood (No. 59), spurred by 42,000 downloads sold in its first week; "The Voice" contestant Dia Frampton's cover of Kanye West's "Heartless" (No. 78), the show's second track to make the survey, following Javier Colon's remake of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" (No. 65) last month; and, Aventura frontman Romeo Santos' "You" (No. 97), which spends a fifth week - its entire chart run - atop Latin Songs.

What's the last straight up ballad (not a modern one with a beat behind it) to be a hit? Was it really Glitter in the Air? I know it didn't do anything on Pop, but it did go Top 10 on HAC, which has also lacked straight up ballads too. I can't believe we haven't had one on Pop in that long though.

Glitter In The Air didn't crack the top 50 IIRC. Definitely not a big hit no.

Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" jumps from #23 to #9 on the Hot 100, thanks to an assist from an unlikely source: rapper Ludacris. The two stars performed the song on the annual CMT Awards on June 8. They also recorded a studio version of their collabo, which sold 75K digital copies this week. That represented 44% of the song's overall sales tally of 169K for the week..

A similar surprise pairing on the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3 featured Rihanna and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland joining forces on Rihanna's current hit "California King Bed." These are among the most head-turning collabos since "Over And Over" by Nelly featuring Tim McGraw peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 in December 2004..

Ludacris had already collaborated on top 10 hits with an exceptionally wide range of performers, including Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, Fergie, Justin Bieber and Enrique Iglesias..

"Dirt Road Anthem" is Aldean's highest-charting hit on the Hot 100, topping "Big Red Tractor," which reached #18 in 2009. The current hit jumps from #16 to #4 on the Hot Digital Songs chart, which combines all versions of a song by one artist..

Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" logs its sixth consecutive week at #1 on the Hot 100, which ties Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" for the longest run at #1 in 2011. "Rolling In The Deep" has also been #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the past six weeks. It's the first song to spend six consecutive weeks as the nation's top-selling digital hit since "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem featuring Rihanna last summer..

Even more impressively, "Rolling In The Deep" has become one of the biggest multi-format hits in recent years. In the current issue of Billboard, the song holds at #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart, holds at #18 on the Rock Songs chart and jumps from #100 to #82 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs..

"Rolling In The Deep" has sold 3,580,000 digital copies, which makes it the #2 digital seller so far this year. It trails only "E.T." by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg, which has sold 3,809,000 copies since the beginning of the year..

"Give Me Anything" by Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer holds at #2 for the third straight week. "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock jumps from #6 to #3. Both of these songs have already reached #1 in the U.K. So if either of them is able to oust "Rolling In The Deep" from the top spot on the Hot 100, it will instantly become a transatlantic #1. ("Rolling In The Deep" doesn't qualify for the transatlantic title: It peaked at #2 in the U.K.).

In addition, "Party Rock Anthem" tops the 1 million mark in digital sales in the U.S. this week..

Lady Gaga's "The Edge Of Glory" jumps from #7 to #6 in the week after Clarence Clemons, who played sax on the record, suffered a stroke at his home in Florida. Clemons, a long-time member of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, also played on "Hair," a second hit from Gaga's Born This Way album. He also performed with her on the American Idol finale last month..

Nicki Minaj this week lands her first top 10 hit as a lead artist with "Super Bass." The song is from Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday, which hit #1 in February. The album has sold 1,419,000 copies to date. Minaj is the front-runner to win the Grammy for Best New Artist next year. Voters often favor female artists in that category..

Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 songs..

.

Two songs drop out of the top 10 this week. Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends" drops from #9 to #12 in its 15th week. Lupe Fiasco's "The Show Goes On" dips from #10 to #11 in its 24th week..

Lil Wayne's "How To Love" dips from #12 to #13 in its third week. This is vying to become Lil Wayne's 15th top 10 hit, but it would be only his second top 10 hit on which he was flying solo, without billed collaborators. (The first was "A Milli" in 2008.) Digital sales rank: #8 (133K)..

Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" jumps from #29 to #14 in its second week. This was the song's first full week of sales availability. It's vying to become Coldplay's third top 10 hit, following "Speed Of Sound" and "Viva La Vida." Digital sales rank: #7 (136K)..

Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" vaults from #63 to #31 in its second week. It's vying to become the fifth #1 hit from Perry's Teenage Dream album. No female artist has ever pulled five #1 hits from an album..

Paramore's "Monster" debuts at #36. The song is from the upcoming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon soundtrack. Paramore had good luck with a previous movie song. "Decode," from the 2008 box-office champ Twilight, reached #33. "Monster" is vying to become the group's first top 20 hit. Its highest-charting hit to date is "The Only Exception," which reached #24. Lead singer Hayley Williams was featured on B.o.B's "Airplanes," which hit #2 a year ago..

The Band Perry's "If I Die Young" re-enters the chart at #46 in the wake of the release of a pop radio remix of the song. This is the song's 29th week on the Hot 100. It has climbed as high as #19. The song has already sold 2,117,000 digital copies, which makes it the 11th best-selling country hit in digital history. If this remix enables it to sell 1 million more copies, it will move up to #5 on that list. .

"Remind Me," a duet by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, debuts at #59. The equal billing reflects the fact that the stars are closely matched in star power. Paisley is bigger in the country market (he's the Country Music Assn.'s reigning Entertainer of the Year). Underwood is more established in the pop market (she has amassed four top 10 hits on the Hot 100, whereas Paisley has yet to crack the top 20). "Remind Me" got a three-week head-start on Hot Country Songs. It jumps to #26 on that chart in the current issue of Billboard..

Rihanna's "Man Down" jumps from #68 to #63 in its third week..."Out Of My Head" by Lupe Fiasco featuring Trey Songz jumps from #87 to #70 in its third week. The song is vying to become the third top 10 hit for both artists..

Pitbull's "Pause" debuts at #73. The song is vying to become Pitbull's eighth top 10 hit. As with Lil Wayne, the bulk of these hits have been collaborations. "Pause" would be only his third strictly solo top 10 hit, following "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" and "Hotel Room Service"...Beyonce's "Best Thing I Never Had" jumps from #84 to #75 in its second week..

.
Dia Frampton's version of Kanye West's "Heartless" debuts at #78. Frampton, 23, is a finalist on NBC's The Voice. This is third cover version of West's song to reach the Hot 100. An acoustic version by Kris Allen debuted and peaked at #16 in June 2009, shortly after he was named the Season 8 winner of American Idol. The Fray took it to #79 that same year. It's unusual for a song to have so many charted cover versions in this day and age. West's original version reached #2 in February 2009. .

.
Are you wondering what has happened to the initial releases by this year's top American Idol contestants? Scotty McCreery's "I Love You This Big" drops from #35 to #68, two weeks after debuting and peaking at #11. Lauren Alaina's "Like My Mother Does" drops off the chart from #60, two weeks after debuting and peaking at #20. Both artists will get a second shot when their debut albums are released later this year..

Natasha Bedingfield's 2008 smash "Pocketful Of Sunshine" tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. Bedingfield's 2006 hit "Unwritten" isn't far behind. It has sold 2,731,000 digital copies. Both songs reached #5 on the Hot 100..

Ke$ha's current hit, "Blow," tops the 2 million mark in digital sales. It's her sixth song to reach this plateau, following "TiK ToK" (5,897,000), "We R Who We R" (3,365,000), "Your Love Is My Drug" (2,881,000), "Take It Off" (2,134,000) and "Blah Blah Blah" (with 3OH!3, 2,132,000). ("Blow" is still percolating. This week, it rebounds from #20 to #19.).

Sugarland's "Stuck Like Glue" tops the 2 million mark in digital sales. It's the 12th country song to reach this milestone; the first by a country duo. The next best-selling song by a country twosome is Big & Rich's 2004 hit "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)," which has sold 1,732,000 copies. Sugarland also has the third best-selling digital hit by a country duo. Its 2008 hit "Stay" has sold 1,643,000 copies. ("Stuck Like Glue" is a great record, and an even better video. Jennifer Nettles has real comic flair

Judas went #1 somewhere

"Judas" is definitely a "forced" flop

majority stations were not willing to play it

Very surprising and satisfying for her. She needs a mammoth single again like those two.

Um, these need to be corrected:

It trails only "E.T." by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg, which has sold 3,809,000 copies since the beginning of the year..

"Dirt Road Anthem" is Aldean's highest-charting hit on the Hot 100, topping "Big Red Tractor," which reached #18 in 2009.

What is wrong with them

ET features Kanye, Not Snoop. Jason Aldean's song is named Big Green Tractor.

The callouts were poor and it couldn't resurge on iTunes with promotion and a good music video. I think it was just a matter of it not clicking with people.
