And now I return to hiding from those with words like knives and swords and weapons that they use against me, knocking me off my feet again to make me feel like a nothing, calling me out when I'm wounded, picking on the weaker man. Pointing out my flaws again as if I don't already see them, trying to make me walk with my head down while I block them out cuz I'll never impress them. I bet they got pushed around, somebody made them cold. Or something like that. Cool story bro. |

Looking at the thread title, I was under the impression that Version 2.0 by Garbage had the most hits per one album on the hot 100.  |

Most Top 40 hitsTaylor Swift Fearless (7) Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation (7) Michael Jackson Bad (7) Michael Jackson Thriller (7) Michael Jackson Dangerous (7) Bruce Springsteen Born in the U.S.A. (7) OMG, Red got a 7th. So Goddess Swift scores the 7th album release to score 7 T40s, and is just the second artist with two! |

Ed was on the original version that appears on the album I believe. I never heard this supposed remix before.

All the album bombs from the last few years are going to provide a huge increase to the list.

Comparing album bombs where songs spend 1 week in the top 40 to an album like Born in the USA that had 7 legit top 10 hits is not the same.

The same way a one-week #1 is still regarded as a #1 is the same way a one-week top 40, top 20 or top 10 should be regarded valid. If it was SO EASY to debut several songs in the top 10, top 20, everyone would be doing it. It if was so easy to have every song on an album chart on the Hot 100, everyone would be doing it. |

I think the point was that it wasn’t happening before the past several years because that’s just not how the chart worked or the way music was released. Comparing chart feats from today to the those of decades ago is like comparing apples and oranges. Billboard does it because announcing a long-standing record is broken makes a good story, but is the Glee Cast really one of the biggest music acts of all time? Is Drake bigger than The Beatles because he’s charted more songs from a single album than them? Is “Harlem Shake” a bigger hit than “Stairway to Heaven”? The Billboard chart feats only tell part of the story. |

Is Drake bigger than The Beatles because he’s charted more songs from a single album than them? Is “Harlem Shake” a bigger hit than “Stairway to Heaven”? The Billboard chart feats only tell part of the story. I understand that. I've said several times myself that there should be a distinction made when discussing chart records and the eras they were set/broken in. When the Beatles were selling millions of albums yearly and scoring #1 albums and #1 singles like it was nothing, they saw a system and methodology in which they dominated in and they took advantage of it, releasing as much music as they could during that period. These guys were dropping several albums per year. Today, if an artist drops more than one album in a year, we scream oversaturation. There's nothing happening now that hasn't happened in some shape or form in the past. It's just taken on a different dynamic, that's all. 20 years ago, an artist as big as Drake is today would have several diamond albums to their name. That isn't the case today. Things change, the music industry evolves and things keep moving forward. I just don't like it when people act like the streaming era is this sort of cheat code era where everything is instantly easy to achieve because it isn't. It's still difficult to score a top 10 hit. Because it seems easy for a select number of artists doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. It's hard to keep people interested in a song for several months, enough for it to garner billions of streams. Things are just different now. Hundreds of thousands of songs get released every day globally. It's hard to consistently cut through all that noise and establish yourself as an artist in today's music market. There was a time when the biggest artists could move tens of millions of physical album units every other year. That's not a thing now. I think every era is special to itself and should be treated as such, including the streaming era. |
