Billboard Hot 100


100 NE 01 deadmau5 Featuring Greta Svabo Bech, Raise Your Weapon

Oh Yay first Hot 100 entry for Deadmau5!

[kingofpain]

Unfortunately that was Selena's last chance to crack the top 20, it looks like 22 will be its peak. A shame really that it missed out on the top 20 by two positions after months of radio waffling and sub-par sales. Airplay is dropping rapidly after it peaked last week and its current itunes sales are now down to the 50's!

Happy for Deadmau5!!! Surprised it made an entry as the digital sales chart that was posted shows it as low as #96 and its not like it had huge airplay impressions, I didn't think I'd see it on the Hot 100!

I knew Gotye wouldn't budge... unbelievable that it's now at #7 on the itunes chart... and it still won't make a scrap of difference.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

Is this the first time ever that there has been 3 Top 10 entries in the same week on the HOT 100?

I read this question wrong the first time and was going to say, usually by my count, there are 10 entries in the top 10 on the Hot 100 and it happens pretty much every week.


Then I realized you meant debuts ;)

56 RE 06 Taylor Swift Featuring The Civil Wars, Safe & Sound

Nice to see it back in the top 100. :)

Debuts of this type used to be extremely rare. Prior to 1995 the record for biggest debut was #6 so, top 10 debuts of any kind did not happen much

There have been instances of 2 top 10 debuts before but I can't remember 3 (I might be wrong though)

And that #6 debut record which stood for 25 years, was by none other than...

The Beatles with "Let It Be", which debuted on the 3/21/1970 Hot 100 chart at that number, the highest debut in the history of the Hot 100 up to that time.

[Deleted]

"Scream" was the song that broke that record, debuting at #5, iirc. And then MJ broke it again, in a sense, by being the first to debut #1.

[Deleted]

Not quite as significant of an event as it used to be now, since we average 1 or 2 a year

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

Now we have 3 in one week.

[worldwide]

Since when old song szch as IWALY are allowed to chart on BH100?

I was talking about #1 debuts averaging 1 or 2 a year. Top 10 debuts run quite a bit higher

The 1998 rule change stopped it from happening so frequently.

[HolidayGuy]

Thanks for posting that. The rule change in 1995 made these debuts possible, with tracks building up airplay before the commercial single release. After "Let it Be" in the 60s, the next highest debut, I believe, was Madonna's "Rescue Me' in 1991 (No. 15; pre-BDS-/SoundScan-era)- and that was because the label released the single later in its airplay life. Then there were a few top 15 debuts in 1992/1993 (after the BDS/SS era began).

By the way- "Mr. Know It All" went recurrent this week (23 weeks on the Hot 100).

Nice to see a Total for this. After RHI and hopefully TT, itd be cool to see this get a release to AAA HOTAC and AC

[jebsib]

I'm old enough to remember when MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" debuted at #27 and we all freaked out!! In retrospect, it was the beginning of labels doing crazy things (repressing) with singles.

I've always wondered that too, since the "backing vocals" are pretty much the whole chorus, and it's obviously not J.Lo.

[badrobot]

Was "Scream" the first song to debut at its peak position? A dubious feat, if so. (Although obviously every #1 debut since has debuted at its peak position.)

Not even close


How many songs came before it that charted at say #85 and fell off a week later?

[badrobot]

Yah -- I guess any song that spent only 1 week on the chart also qualifies.

I guess I was thinking more songs that debuted in the upper half of the chart.

Some singer named Shelene Thomas. She did the background vocals on the original version along with the original mixes to "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny".

[Verisimilitude]

And thanks again, Virgo! Wow, the J-Lo mystery is now solved in only a few days. I was really only aware of Christina Milian and Ashanti before, but not that one.

Hot Stuff: Why This Week's Billboard Hot 100 Is History-Making

Certain weeks in the Billboard Hot 100's 53-year history stand out.

April 4, 1964, when the Beatles monopolized the entire top five. Sept. 2, 1995, when Michael Jackson scored the list's first No. 1 debut (with "You Are Not Alone"). Dec, 5. 1998, when Billboard began allowing album cuts not released as physical singles to appear on the ranking.

You might want to add the current March 3, 2012, Hot 100 to the discussion.

To recap, here is a listing of the extraordinary moves and milestones on this week's survey.


-- This is the first time that the Hot 100 has welcomed three top 10 debuts in a week: Katy Perry's "Part of Me" (No. 1), Nicki Minaj's "Starships" (No. 9) and Chris Brown's "Turn Up the Music" (No. 10). In 11 previous weeks, as many as two titles debuted concurrently in the top tier.

-- "Part" becomes just the 20th No. 1 debut in the Hot 100's history, and Perry's first chart-topping entry. It's also Capitol Records' (Perry's label) first No. 1 bow.

-- Perry achieves her seventh Hot 100 No. 1. Only five women have more: Mariah Carey (18), Madonna (12), Rihanna, Whitney Houston (11 each) and Janet Jackson (10).

-- Adele is the only woman, as a lead artist, to chart three songs in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously. (She also re-enters new single "Rumour Has It" at No. 67).

-- Adele's former No. 1 "Rolling in the Deep" rebounds 17-5 in its whopping 59th week on the chart following her six Grammy Award wins on Feb. 12. The song is just the eighth to spend as many as 59 weeks on the Hot 100. No prior song had ranked as high as the top five (or even the top 20) so late in its chart run.

-- Although Kelly Clarkson falls 1-4 on the Hot 100 (although with top Airplay Gainer honors) with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," the song takes over as her first No. 1 the Dance/Club Play Songs chart. That makes Clarkson the first artist ever to have topped the Hot 100 and each of Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs, Country Songs, Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs charts.

-- Minaj earns her highest-debuting Hot 100 hit, as "Starships" sails in at No. 9. Brown logs his second-best start, as "Music" begins at No. 10. Only his "Forever" launched at a loftier rank (No. 9) in 2008.

-- The late Whitney Houston moves from No. 7 to No. 3 with "I Will Always Love You." As the track initially spent 14 weeks at No. 1 in 1992-93, it's only the second song ever to reach the top three in separate chart runs. Chubby Checker's iconic "The Twist" reigned at No. 1 in both 1960 (one week) and 1962 (two).

-- Three of Houston's '80s No. 1s also surge: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (35-25); "Greatest Love of All" (41-36); and "How Will I Know" (a re-entry at No. 49).

-- The "Glee" cast adds its version of "Always" for good measure, as it debuts at No. 87. Coincidentally, the song, sung by the cast's Amber Riley, was already set to air in the series' Feb. 14 Valentine's Day episode before Houston passed away on Feb. 11. The remake is the TV troupe's 59th charted cover of a former Hot 100 No. 1.

-- Pop vocal group One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" debuts at No. 28, marking the highest Hot 100 bow for a U.K. act's debut U.S. single in nearly 14 years. The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" arrived at No. 13 on the March 28, 1998, chart.

-- There's even news at No. 100, where Deadmau5 debuts with "Raise Your Weapon," featuring Greta Svabo Bech. The Canadian dance luminary (born Joel Thomas Zimmerman before taking on the moniker Deadmau5) makes his first Hot 100 appearance, after he performed on a remix of Foo Fighters' "Rope" with the rock band at the Grammys.


Oh, and, with new songs by B.o.B, (the pop/rap "So Good") Carrie Underwood (her instantly catchy "Good Girl") and Carly Rae Jepsen ("Call Me Maybe," the No. 2 song on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 after ruling the chart for two weeks) off to strong digital starts, next week's Hot 100 is sure to sport plenty of interesting action, too.
