What does that have to do with anything?

Well, we had been discussing the chart performances of A-lister first singles compared to their previous efforts, and you were listing a bunch of songs - including a country song - by artists that had mostly not had enormous success on the CHR/Pop chart.

And you said that if a song has enough mass appeal/commercial power, it will inevitably cross over to CHR. You didn't specify that was only in regards to artists with huge past CHR success.

[Deleted]

I'm curious as to what songs inevitably crossed over based on someone's past CHR success (and more specifically, which of these songs did so without being sent to CHR at first). Because I honestly am drawing a blank. As I mentioned before it's notable that three of the most pop-friendly r&b artists of recent ended up not faring very well on pop with their pure r&b material during the very time when CHR broke away from r&b. The same holds true for the corporate rock acts as well - the singles from Daughtry and Nickelback's last albums come to mind, and those were two of the biggest corp-rock staples before.

I thought of a couple of examples but it was r&b songs in the 00s, when urban was the most popular sound on CHR anyway, so I don't think that really counts.

This weeks race to #1 turned into a rout. Here is my estimate of the top 4:

When I Was Your Man ~ 63,700
Thrift Shop ~ 55,200
Just Give Me A Reason ~ 46,300
Stay ~ 41,800

Although WIWYM has a sizable lead over JGMAR, next week's race could be quite close with the Bruno Mars song taking a tumble in sales points, and the Pink song gaining strongly in airplay and streaming. I can't see "Stay" getting any higher than #2, perhaps in two weeks.

"Can't Hold Us" will probably be in the top 5 next week. I was hoping that Billboard would tweak its' methodology giving less weight to passive streaming (including YouTube views), but I guess that is not likely to happen. I can think of 20 songs on the Hot 100 that have more buzz than "Harlem Shake" which stopped going viral a few weeks ago.

oooh...I hope you're right, I would love to see P!nk take over next week!

I'm glad that WIWYM managed to get in a week on top, but I'm all for speeding up the turnover rate after the nonstop TS/HS domination this year. if WIWYM does fall from No. 1 next week never to return, it would be the first song to spend only one week at No. 1 since the addition of on-demand streaming to the Hot 100, right?

Yes the last song to spend a single week at #1 was "Part Of Me" by Katy Perry. With the last before that being "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull & Co. Single week #1s have become quite the rarity, which is sad. I'd love to see more.

[Duca]

"Mirrors" has spent a week at #11, #12, and #13 on the Hot 100. If it falls down to #14 next week.

[Duca]

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Drake's "Started From the Bottom" descends 8-9 and Pitbulll's "Feel This Moment," featuring Christina Aguilera, backtracks 9-10 (*Updated).

They messed up again?

[Daniel Collins]

Yeah. They've put Radioactive at #10 on the first post.

[Enigma.]

Again something wrong with Feel This Moment's positions.. Weird.

[josh]

Well its sales are down, airplay isn't growing massively like before, and it hasn't done too well on streaming so far, has it? It doesn't surprise me too much.

They are reluctant to give Christina a top 10 hit.

[Enigma.]

Yea that must be it...

"FTM" took a big tumble in sales which cost it around 2,500 chart points. It would have to gain 18.75 M audience impressions or 1 million streams to make up the loss.

Looking at its' current position on the ITunes popbars (#22) it could suffer a further drop in sales this week.

spoilt meant that earlier this year they messed up and had "Feel This Moment" at #10 over "Love Me," when really it was supposed to be the other way around. Now it seems as if they messed up again with "Feel This Moment"'s position.

Just an odd coincidence, though. That one week they had a lot more wrong than just "Love Me"/"Feel This Moment." Almost as if they had published a Hot 100 calculated a day early or a day late. This time, though, it appears to just be an error between "Feel This Moment" and "Radioactive" that was quickly caught.

History of piano ballads on the Hot 100

Amid a boom of hi-NRG EDM club anthems, stomp-and-clap folk/rock sing-alongs and rapped odes to bargain-hunting, a simple piano ballad, Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man," crowns this week's Billboard Hot 100.

The melancholy tale of lost love sports only Mars' vocals and his own piano accompaniment.

Amazingly, of the 1,023 songs to previously top the chart, dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, launch, just one also features nothing but vocals and piano: Adele's "Someone Like You," which ruled for five weeks beginning on Sept. 17, 2011. The song showcases Adele singing and Dan Wilson on piano.

With its 2-1 lift this week, "Man" is the first ballad to top the Hot 100 since "Someone." Before Adele's ascension, no ballad had reigned since Rihanna's "Take a Bow" the week of May 24, 2008. "Man" is the first No. 1 ballad by a male since Akon's "Don't Matter," which led the Hot 100 the weeks of April 7 and 14, 2007.

Songs like "Bow" and "Matter," however, include instrumentation beyond piano. Much more uncommon is a hit compelling enough for pop radio to slow its tempo to only a voice and piano without drums, strings or other sonic elements.

Throughout the Hot 100's history, piano ballads have reigned, but until Adele and Mars' songs, none were as stripped down as "Someone" and "Man." All-piano-and-vocal hits have charted, but none previously had reached No. 1. Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," for example, rose to No. 4 in 1999.

A chronological trip back through the Hot 100's archives reveals examples of No. 1 piano ballads, but all include other instrumentation.

Updating a recap first published on Billboard.com when "Someone" reached No. 1, let's time-travel through the chart's past … keying … in on some of the most notable such hits.

2000s
The 2000s (through this year) have brought such piano-intensive No. 1s largely courtesy of Fox's "American Idol" coronation songs, including Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" (2005) and Fantasia's "I Believe" (2004). Plus, in 2005, the series' original winner, Kelly Clarkson, reached No. 7 with "Because of You." None of those songs, however, are as bare-bones as "Man" or "Someone."

Similarly, Alicia Keys' "Fallin' " (No. 1 in 2001), Lonestar's "Amazed" and Mariah Carey's "Thank God I Found You," featuring Joe and 98 Degrees (each No. 1 in 2000), are piano-driven but not entirely so.

Following Mars' "Man," could another pure all-piano ballad soon reign? Rihanna's current hit "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, features only their vocals and piano by Justin Parker. The song rebounds to No. 4 this week, having risen as high as No. 3 so far.

1990s
During the decade when the pure-pop boy band dominations of New Kids on the Block and 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys sandwiched the rise of grunge, Elton John performed "Candle in the Wind 1997" (on Sept. 6, 1997) on piano at the funeral of Princess Diana of Wales. When he released a new studio version of his '70s classic as a single (paired with "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"), "Candle" included orchestration by its conclusion. Thus, while it's an unquestionably a piano ballad (and half of a double-sided 14-week No. 1), it's not 100% so.

The '90s brought other leading piano ballads, but all also with varying degrees of strings, guitars or drums, including Carey's "Hero" and Janet Jackson's "Again" (1993); Carey's "I'll Be There" and Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" (1992); and, Stevie B's "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" (1990).

(Also in 1992-93: while not the prototypical piano ballad, considering its signature saxophone and drum flourishes, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," which logged 12 weeks at No. 1, is notable in that its vocal impact is similar to that of "Man" and "Someone," as Houston's hit opens with a 44-second a capella intro.)

And, one from the original Piano Man: At the beginning of the '90s, the fifth and final single from Billy Joel's Billboard 200 No. 1 album "Storm Front" was an all-piano ballad pop hit. "And So It Goes," however, just dented the Hot 100's top 40, reaching No. 37 in December 1990.

1980s
Synthesizers dominated the decade, but not on these piano ballads, which sport additional instrumentation: Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" and Debbie Gibson's "Lost in Your Eyes" (1989); Tiffany's "Could've Been" (1988); Phil Collins' "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)"; Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love" (1981); and Kenny Rogers' "Lady" (1980).

Two mixes exist of Bette Midler's "The Rose": the single edit with orchestration and the soundtrack version that sports piano and vocals-only. The song just missed topping the Hot 100, however, reaching No. 3 in 1980.

(Honorable mention: Bobby McFerrin scored the Hot 100's first a capella No. 1 with "Don't Worry, Be Happy," which led for two weeks in 1988.)

1970s
Disco beats invaded even the catalogs of even rockers Rod Stewart and Kiss in the '70s. But, piano ballads maintained their place, including the Commodores' "Still" (1979); Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand's "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (1978); Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" (1977); Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" (1975); Streisand's "The Way We Were" (1974); Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and Nilsson's "Without You" (1972). None, however, qualify as piano-and-vocal-exclusive ballads.

Even Barry Manilow's three piano-centric No. 1s – "Looks Like We Made It," "I Write the Songs" and Mandy" – are string-laden, as are the Beatles' last two No. 1s, "The Long and Winding Road" and "Let It Be," along with John Lennon's "Imagine," a No. 3 hit in 1971.

In February 1970, Simon & Garfunkel began a six-week reign with "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Art Garfunkel's vocal and Larry Knechtel's piano arrangement carry most of the song. But, strings and drums arrive near its closing.

1960s/'50s
Not too many ballads of any kind ruled the Hot 100 during the decade, as the Beatles helped craft an era of, largely, jangly pop/rock toppers. Pre-British Invasion, tempo also was an almost exclusive Hot 100 No. 1 ingredient, although with fewer guitars and more orchestral arrangements.

Piano-dominated songs hit big in the early '60s and late '50s, but the instrument in those years tended to serve as an uptempo component of early rock and roll (i.e., Chuck Berry, Dave "Baby" Cortez and Fats Domino) or the focus of fast-paced instrumentals, such as Floyd Cramer's "Last Date" (a No. 2 hit in 1960).

In all, just two piano-and-vocal-only No. 1 ballads among 1,024 Hot 100 leaders: Mars' " Man" and Adele's "Someone." Notably, both have reached the summit in the past year-and-a-half.

With more tools available when it comes to music production, perhaps ballads stand out more now, helping to make the most compelling of such songs rarer, and, thus, more appreciated than ever before.

Incredibly, Mars has racked his first five Hot 100 No. 1s faster than any male since Elvis Presley. Mars' span since first arriving on the chart the week of Feb. 13, 2010, is just three years, two months and one week. Only the late Presley reached five leaders more quickly, over just two years, seven months and three weeks, from the chart's inception through March 25, 1961.


This is a very misleading statistic. As has been previously mentioned, Elvis had many hits before the inception of the Hot 100 in August 1958; in fact, he had 10 #1 hits between 1956 and 1958; the last one literally one week before the Hot 100 came into being. So by March 1961, he had actually collected 15 #1 songs, not just five.

Technically the Hot 100 part of it is true, but it gives Elvis short shrift, by ignoring his 10 #1 hits from before the Hot 100.

Yes and I wasn't really serious. They messed up the whole chart couple of weeks ago.

Maybe it's the streaming thing with Youtube stats.

..Week Ending April 7, 2013. Songs: Discount Helps Bruno Reach #1
..By Paul Grein
.Posts .By Paul Grein | Chart Watch – 53 minutes ago

Here’s an irony for you: A price reduction to 69 cents enabled Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” to bump “Thrift Shop”—a song about hunting for 99-cent bargains—out of the #1 spot on the Hot 100. Mars’ song was discounted to that price in both the iTunes and Amazon MP3 stores, which put it far below the standard $1.29 price of most current hits. This was a shameless (and effective) bid to give Mars’ hit the final push it needed to reach #1. The song sold 340K copies during the week, which represents a 45% gain over the previous week. “Thrift Shop,” which is the only song in digital history to top 300K in weekly sales nine times, sold 211K during the week, a 25% drop from the previous week.

“When I Was Your Man” is Mars’ fifth #1 on the Hot 100. Mars has amassed his first five #1 hits faster than any male solo artist since Elvis Presley. Mars first charted on Feb. 13, 2010 as the featured artist on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You.” Thus, he has piled up five #1 hits in three years and two months. Presley amassed his first five #1 hits in less than a year (March 3, 1956 to Feb. 9, 1957, when “Too Much” bumped Guy Mitchell’s “Singing The Blues” out of the top spot).

Only two other artists have amassed five or more #1 hits since January 2010. Rihanna leads with seven in this young decade. Katy Perry has had six. Among male solo artists, Mars is way out front. Eminem is in second place with two #1 hits since January 2010.

(Wanna know who else has had two or more #1 hits in this decade? Adele has had three. Ke$ha, LMFAO and Maroon 5 have each had two.)
Billboard’s Gary Trust notes that “When I Was Your Man” is only the second single in the nearly 55-year history of the Hot 100 that features only piano and vocals. It follows Adele’s “Someone Like You,” which topped the chart for five weeks in late 2011. That influential smash, which brought Adele a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance, featured her vocal backed by Dan Wilson’s piano. Mars’ smash, which will probably be a front-runner in the same Grammy category come February, features his vocal backed by his own piano accompaniment.

“When I Was Your Man” jumps to #1 on Hot Digital Songs. It’s Mars’ sixth #1 on that strictly sales chart. It holds at #1 for the third week on the all-format Radio Songs chart.

Two other ballads rank in the top five on this week’s Hot 100, making this one of the most ballad-heavy top fives in years. “Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess jumps from #5 to #3. It’s the highest-charting of the three singles from P!nk’s latest album, The Truth About Love. “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” peaked at #5. “Try” reached #9. “Stay” by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko rebounds from #6 to #4. The song tops the 2 million mark in digital sales this week.

While “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz dips to #2 on the Hot 100, it tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the 13th week. That’s the longest run at #1 by a white artist since the chart originated (as Harlem Hit Parade) in October 1942. (Mariah Carey, whose “We Belong Together” logged 14 weeks at #1 on the R&B chart in 2005, is biracial. Her father was of African American and Venezuelan descent. Her mother is of white Irish descent.)

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis has a second song in this week’s top 10: “Can’t Hold Us” (featuring Ray Dalton) leaps from #15 to #7. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is the first duo to have two songs in the top 10 at the same time since LMFAO achieved the feat for 11 weeks in late 2011 and early 2012 with “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy And I Know It.”

A third song by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, “Same Love” (featuring Mary Lambert), re-entered the chart last week at #93 and is expected to move up this week. (The song, which deals with the hot-button issue of gay marriage equality, enters the Alternative Songs chart at #35.)

Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” re-enters the chart at #8, which is its highest ranking to date. The song previously peaked at #16. The duo performed the song on the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday. The duo also won two awards on the show. The song benefits from a remix featuring Nelly, which accounted for 75% of the song’s overall digital sales for the week (186K copies out of 248K total). This brings sales of “Cruise” to 2,547,000. It’s probably just a week away from becoming the best-selling by a country duo in digital history. It trails only Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue,” which has sold 2,618,000 copies.

“Cruise” returns to #1 on Hot Country Songs. This is its sixth week on top. It’s just the second song so far this decade to log six or more weeks at #1. Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” held the top spot for 10 weeks. Also, “Cruise” is the first song by an ongoing duo to log six or more weeks at #1 since Brooks & Dunn’s “Ain’t Nothing ’Bout You” did it in 2001.

This marks the second time that Nelly has collaborated with a country act. “Over And Over” by Nelly featuring Tim McGraw topped Hot Digital Songs for two weeks in the fall of 2004 (and reached #3 on the Hot 100).

Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” dips from #8 to #9. It tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week.

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

The Top Five: Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” jumps from #2 to #1 in its 16th week on the chart. This is its ninth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (340K)…“Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz dips from #1 to #2 in its 27th week on the chart. This is its 16th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #4 (211K)…“Just Give Me A Reason” by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess jumps from #5 to #3 in its eighth week on the chart. This is its fourth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #2 (280K)… “Stay” by Rihanna featuring Mikky Ekko rebounds from #6 to #4 in its ninth week on the chart. The song has climbed as high as #3. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #5 (207K)…“Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z drops from #3 to #5 in its 13th week on the chart. This is its 10th week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #8 (145K).

The Second Five: Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” drops from #4 to #6 in its eighth week on the chart. It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Digital sales rank: #25 (73K)…“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton jumps from #15 to #7 in its ninth week. It’s the duo’s second top 10 hit; Dalton’s first. Digital sales rank: #6 (186K)…Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” re-enters the chart at #8. It’s the duo’s first top 10 hit. Digital sales rank: #3 (248K)…Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” dips from #8 to #9 in its ninth week on the chart. This is its eighth week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #15 (96K)… Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” drops from #7 to #10 in its 32nd week on the chart. This is its second week in the top 10. Digital sales rank: #7 (163K).

I have both good news and bad news for fans of “Feel This Moment” by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera. The song drops out of the top 10 this week (from #9). On the other hand, it tops the 1 million mark in digital sales. A second song drops out of the top 10 this week: “The Way” by Ariana Grande featuring Mac Miller drops from #10.

Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors” dips from #11 to #12 in its eighth week.

fun.’s “Carry On” tops the 1 million mark in digital sales in its 14th week on the chart.

Chris Brown’s “Fine China” is expected to enter the Hot 100. It’s the lead single from his sixth studio album, X, which is due this summer.

Here are other songs that are vying to enter the chart this week:

“Girls” by Kid Cudi featuring Too $hort. It’s from his third studio album, Indicud, which is due April 23.

Lennon & Maisy’s “Ho Hey.” This version of the Lumineers’ smash is from the TV show Nashville.

Timeflies’ “I Choose You.”

Luke Bryan’s “Crash My Party.” Bryan, 36, was a surprise (and surprised!) winner of Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday.

Selena Gomez’s “Come & Get It.” This is from Gomez’s upcoming debut solo album, which is due this summer. No fronting The Scene on this one.

“High School” by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne. This is from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded—The Re-Up.

Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You!” tops the 6 million mark in digital sales this week. It’s the 19th song to reach that threshold. The song logged four weeks at #2 in March 2011.

Hot Chelle Rae’s spirited “Tonight Tonight” tops the 3 million mark in digital sales. The song reached #7 in August 2011.

Thompson Square’s “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” tops the 2 million mark in digital sales this week. The married couple (Keifer and Shawna Thompson) is the fourth ongoing country duo in digital history to land a 2-million-seller. The pair follows Sugarland, whose 2010 hit “Stuck Like Glue” has sold 2,618,000 copies; Florida Georgia Line, whose 2012 hit “Cruise” has sold 2,547,000; and Big & Rich, whose 2004 hit “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” has sold 2,083,000. “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not” hit #1 on Hot Country Songs in April 2011.

To My Readers: I’ll have more to add after I’ve seen the full Hot 100.

Nelly will be credited if over half the song's chart points come from the remix version.

You might realize you know a few others if you heard them. For instance "He's So Fine" and "I Will Follow Him" are both pretty well known, even among non baby boomers.

[RadioBeatz]

You don't know "He's So Fine" by The Chiffons? I thought it was a known song... There's a George Harrison #1 hit that sounds similar.

I have both good news and bad news for fans of “Feel This Moment” by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera. The song drops out of the top 10 this week (from #9). On the other hand, it tops the 1 million mark in digital sales. A second song drops out of the top 10 this week: “The Way” by Ariana Grande featuring Mac Miller drops from #10.

I wonder will Chris debut in the Top 50.

"Feel This Moment" is at #10 without a bullet according to the HOT 100 posted on billboard.biz. "Radioactive" dropped from 7 to 11.
