Billboard Hot 100 09/01/12

[Agent Yoncé]

I can't at 'Cinema' topping a milli downloads & never charted on the Hot 100.

[Enigma.]

Shame that 'Come Over' never took off the way it should have. #23 is not bad though.

[Deleted]

only 1 song went recurrent from last week's Top 50:
Luke Bryan, Drunk On You, peak 16, wks on 24

Justin Bieber's Boyfriend also went recurrent after 20 weeks on.

[trackmaster13]

As did One Thing by One Direction which also did its 20 weeks.

Interesting note, Time is Love by Josh Turner doesn't go recurrent after 20 weeks at position 53. That's the second time, I believe, this charting year that has happened with You Don't Know Her Like I Do by Brantley Gilbert being the other.

[forg]

Too bad Need You Now didn't hit #1, it came really close though

Congrats Taylor Swift!

I Won't Give Up still charting well! I wonder how long can it stay

Everybody Talks almost matched Animal's peak

Aww at Dark Side, still can't pass Stronger

[skizzo]

at least Amazed was a real country song that topped the pop charts...

[Arabella21]

"Time of My Life" is at 1,459,000 as of August 2012. "I Love You This Big" has sold 839,000 downloads. Wikipedia has "No Boundaries" at 312K, the total might be slightly higher now but probably not a whole lot. I wouldn't be surprised if "Home" went double platinum at least.

[cesarams]

I was thinking about the Hot 100's formula. I used concrete figures and some estimates based on chart position.
I used this: Sales*1.2 + Radio*2 + Streaming/10
The ratio between Taylor and Flo was 1.834 (almost 2 to 1). Guetta and Gotye went almost tied. This isn't right, but can help us to predict next week charts to see if it works.

I found these:
WANEGBT - 851.6
W- 464.1
L- 431.9
CMM- 426.3
WA- 403
SN- 375.7
P- 353.5
ALAYLM- 321.4
OMN- 318.5
T- 310.4
STIUTK- 310.2
BM (OLK)- 289.6
GT- 289.4
ET- 277.3
WHYB- 274.6
WUB- 273.6
H- 245.6
GYHAB- 244.2
M- 227.5
TC- 211.8

On Pop Songs, "Never" starts with the fifth-best opening rank since the chart began the week of Oct. 3, 1992. The format's four higher arrivals also belong to women: Mariah Carey's "Dreamlover" (No. 12, 1993), Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (No. 14, 2011), Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" (No. 16, 2011); and Madonna's "Frozen" (No. 16, 1998).


Maroon 5's No. 2-peaking "Payphone," featuring Wiz Khalifa, descends 5-7 in its 18th week on the Hot 100 and its first below the top five. Its sum of 17 weeks lodged in the top five from its debut equals the Hot 100 record; Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" spent its first 17 weeks in the bracket in 1995-96, including its first 16 at No. 1 (the longest command in the Hot 100's archives) and the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" likewise logged 17 weeks in the top five from its start in 2009, including 14 at No. 1.

Ask Billboard: Taylor Swift's Career Sales
by Gary Trust | August 25, 2012 11:05 EDT

Yet more on the superstar's strong week.

SWIFT'S GOT IT 'TOGETHER' AT COUNTRY AND POP
Hi Gary,

Two interesting points come to mind when it comes to the country field this week.

1) Blake Shelton's seventh straight Country Songs chart-topping single, "Over," jumps 4-1. He has the longest streak of No. 1 singles on the chart since Brad Paisley's run of 10 in 2006-09.

2) As Taylor Swift flies 72-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and enters Country Songs at No. 13 with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," I would assume that she is the first female country solo artist to top the Hot 100 with a country hit since Dolly Parton, who led both charts, actually, with "9 to 5" in 1981 and with "Islands in the Stream," with Kenny Rogers, in 1983.

Overall, the last country hit to top the Hot 100 had been "Amazed" by Lonestar in early 2000, right?

Hi John,

Blake Shelton certainly has become country royalty, with his coaching gig on "The Voice" only helping his profile.

As for Swift, it depends on how you define "country hit." She isn't the first woman to send a Country Songs chart entry to No. 1 on the Hot 100 since Parton. That honor belongs to Carrie Underwood, whose "Inside Your Heaven" debuted atop the July 2, 2005, Hot 100 as it entered Country Songs at No. 59. Her "American Idol" coronation ballad rose to its No. 52 peak two weeks later, largely out of programmer curiosity than focused radio promotion by Arista. The label didn't begin promoting her all-out as a country artist until "Jesus, Take the Wheel" arrived four months later and became her first of 12 Country Songs No. 1s (of 16 radio singles; of the other four, three reached No. 2, while her latest, "Blown Away," pushes 17-16 this week).

Swift's "Never," however, is the first top 15 Country Songs hit by a woman to top the Hot 100 since Parton and Rogers' "Islands" led both lists in 1983. Yet another notable achievement for Swift.

Since "Islands," the only Hot 100 No. 1s by core country artists are Lonestar's "Amazed," as you note, a No. 1 on Country Songs for eight weeks in 1999 and on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 2000; Underwood's "Heaven"; and, Swift's "Never." That's three of 478 total Hot 100 No. 1s over 29 years.

(Honorary mention to Whitney Houston's pop/R&B cover of Parton's "I Will Always Love You," which ruled the Hot 100 for 12 weeks in 1992-93. Parton took versions of the song, which she wrote, to the top of Country Songs in 1974 and 1982.)

Three female country stars almost hit the Hot 100's summit in the late '90s/early 2000s, each stopping at No. 2: LeAnn Rimes, with "How Do I Live" (1997); Shania Twain, with "You're Still the One" (1998); and, Faith Hill, with "Breathe"; despite the lattermost song not reaching No. 1, it still became Billboard's top song of 2000, thanks to a lengthy 53-week chart run, 18 of which were spent in the top five.

Going by that definition (charted anywhere on Country Songs and topped the Hot 100), wouldn't the honor actually go to Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment like This", which also got enough curiosity spins to peak in the 50s on Billboard's country chart?

Absolutely. Those songs are on the same level as far as counting for this achievement, as far as I'm concerned.

[Deleted]

I don't think it's really fair to count it as a country song just because the country remix is doing well on country. The version that accumulated all the downloads and most of the airplay is a full out Max Martin pop song.

[fridayteenage]

Well then Amazed doesn't count either. The original version only peaked at #24 before falling off.

The pop mix re-entered the chart and took it all the way to #1.

So Amazed + We Are Never either both count, or neither counts. A Moment Like This + Inside Your Heaven either both count, or neither counts.

[Deleted]

However you slice it, it is still the last song to hit #1 on both charts

[jebsib]

Unless our society changes radically, a straight forward fiddle / steel guitar, 'yee-haw' kinda song will not be topping the Hot 100 in many, many years. In the meantime, this kind of song is the closest we can get... a song by an artist whose core format is country.

[Deleted]

OK so what was the last steel guitar/fiddle yee-haw song to go #1 ?

[Enigma.]

Not Ready to Make Nice reached #4, that's the most recent proper country song in top 5 imo.

Then there was Jason Aldean's Dirt Road Anthem with Ludacris which reached #7 last year.

[Deleted]

How is anything with Ludacris in it, a "proper country song"?

It was still a proper hit on its own, the version with Ludacris just gave some extra boost.
