Psy was unknown globally when "Gangnam Style" hit; now, he's not. So it makes sense if there's less buzz.

Get Lucky is a really strong song. I'm glad Billboard added these other methods for music. At the end of the day radio is no longer forced to play songs that aren't good for its listeners as they won't get punished for not playing songs for it's listeners that are too polarizing. It also gives people a means to make a song popular without radio support.

Psy was unknown globally when "Gangnam Style" hit; now, he's not. So it makes sense if there's less buzz.

For the first two weeks on YouTube "Gentleman" is benefiting from the curiousity factor ("I liked his first song, so I wonder what his second is like"). If sales kick in and people start clamoring for airplay, then he will stick around the top 10, if not then I can't see YouTube streaming alone being enough to keep him high on the HOT 100. Unlike "Harlem Shake" I don't think there are any user generated videos garnering streaming activity.

I personally wish BB would track the number of "likes" a video receives on YouTube instead of the number of streams, since it is a more objective measure of the song's populariy. Maybe someday.

[Deleted]

Well in a week Gentleman is already the #4 most liked song of all time, so... In 3 days it'll be #2 behind Gangnam Style.

That wouldn't be a good measure though, imo. It's the same as the difference between sales and streaming, sales are frontloaded, same with likes, while people who buy songs will still listen to them later even if they aren't buying them, aka view after liking it a month ago.

Dance duo Daft Punk's first new single in eight years, Get Lucky, has broken Spotify streaming records.

The comeback, which features singer Pharrell Williams, had the biggest streaming day for a single track in the US and UK on the day of its release.

The Swedish online music site did not release the number of streams for the track which features on the DJs' new album, Random Access Memories.

Spotify's Will Hope said the album would be "the biggest" this year.

"There was never any doubt that the first original single from Daft Punk in years was going to be one of the biggest debut singles of 2013," the director of label relations said.

"We expect the album to become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, on Spotify this year," he added.

Daft Punk broke the one-day streaming record previously held by British band Bastille's single Pompeii in the UK.

Thrift Shop, a single by Seattle-based rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis, held the record in the US.

Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers features alongside Williams on Daft Punk's new disco inspired track.

The duo whose real names are Thomas Bangalter and Guy De Homem-Christo, told Rolling Stone magazine they hired "top-notch session players" to perform on the album.

Random Access Memories is Daft Punk's first studio album since 2005's Human After All, though the band scored the Tron: Legacy soundtrack in 2010.

They won a Grammy in 2009 for their live album, Alive 2007.

In tallying her 10th leader, she passes Katy Perry for the most toppers in the chart's 20-year history.

Rihanna becomes the first artist in the 20-year history of Billboard's Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart to tally 10 No. 1s, as "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, rises 2-1.

Rihanna breaks a tie with Katy Perry, who's notched nine No. 1s since her 2008 arrival; also impressively, Rihanna has rung up her No. 1 sum since just 2006, when "SOS," her first leader, reached the summit. She'd last led with "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, for eight weeks, marking her longest command, in late 2011/early 2012.

The record for most No. 1s is the latest for Rihanna on Pop Songs. She previously established the marks for most entries (35) and top 10s (23) dating to the ranking's Oct. 3, 1992, launch.

"Stay" also charges 11-7 on Adult Pop Songs, becoming her third top 10 on the list, and debuts at No. 30 on Adult Contemporary. (It's reached No. 3 on the all-format airplay/sales/streaming-fueled Billboard Hot 100.)

Also notably, "Stay" is only the second piano-and-vocal-only No. 1 of the 259 songs to have ruled Pop Songs. The first? The song that "Stay" dethrones after three weeks at the summit, Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man."

Here's a recap of Rihanna's record 10 Pop Songs No. 1s:

2006, "SOS" (one week at No. 1)
2008, "Take a Bow" (three)
2008, "Disturbia" (three)
2008, "Live Your Life" (T.I. feat. Rihanna) (two)
2010, "Rude Boy" (two)
2010, "Love the Way You Lie" (Eminem feat. Rihanna) (two)
2010, "Only Girl (In the World)" (three)
2011, "S&M" (one)
2011, "We Found Love" (Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris) (eight)
2013, "Stay" (Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko) (one to date)

I agree I am being picky, but I think in designing a music popularity chart one should use as much objective, fact based information as possible. Radio airplay is heavily discounted for the fact that there is no way of knowing whether the listener likes the song (7,500 AI to 1). YouTube streaming seems to carry a much higher weighting (I figure on the scale 118-20 x greater than airplay) which suggests to me that BB thinks streaming a YouTube video = video is popular. By using the "Likes" data instead of gross streaming #s, one gets a truer picture of the videos popularity. I would increase the weighting to at least equal that of on-demand streaming. Of course all this is dreaming on my part, BB will likely not move away from streaming.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

I like the song but I did not log into youtube when I heard it so it didn't count.

If you use the like/dislike ratio, Gentleman has around 80-85% likes so if you go by that, 80-85% of people like it. People that dislike a song don't even watch the whole thing, while people who like it watch it multiple times. But I already explained the flaws in using likes in my post above.

The likely reason it's scaled that way is to make two very different measurements of popularity comparable to each other. A 500k AI doesn't carry nearly the same amount of weight as 500k in sales since it is far easier to accumulate a higher amount of AI than sales w/in a given week. Songs accumulate several million AI w/in 1 day, whereas we've yet to have a song sell a 1 million in one week. I highly doubt the main reason they scaled it that way was b/c of the reasons you stated above. Billboard scales it so that the points of a typical song are roughly: sales (35-45%), airplay (30-40%) and streaming (20-30%). If radio was as heavily discounted (for the reasons you stated), wouldn't the points be far more skewed towards sales (instead of being so close in percentage) to take into account radio's flaws?

YouTube streaming seems to carry a much higher weighting (I figure on the scale 118-20 x greater than airplay) which suggests to me that BB thinks streaming a YouTube video = video is popular. By using the "Likes" data instead of gross streaming #s, one gets a truer picture of the videos popularity. I would increase the weighting to at least equal that of on-demand streaming. Of course all this is dreaming on my part, BB will likely not move away from streaming.

Again, the typical song will have a point composition of roughly: sales (35-45%), airplay (30-40%) and streaming (20-30%) so the typical song will typically get more of its points from radio than streaming. Perhaps youtube streaming needs to be tweaked but "Likes" is not the way to go about this.

Calvin Harris Beats Michael Jackson To Set New U.K. Chart RecordNews /By Lars Brandle | April 23, 2013 4:54 AM EDT


Calvin Harris has become a record-holder in the U.K. by clocking-up eight chart hits from the one album.

The Scottish DJ and producer on Sunday saw his song “I Need Your Love” FT Ellie Goulding climb 11-7, in doing so becoming the eighth track from his album “18 Months” to crack the U.K. top 10. Harris’ feat has never before happened in the 60-plus year history of the Official U.K. Singles Chart.

The electro-pop artist takes the mantle from the late “King of Pop,” Michael Jackson, who twice managed to gather seven top 10 hits from an album -- with his 1987 album “Bad” and from 1991’s “Dangerous.”

Harris shared his excitement with his 2.2 million-plus followers on Twitter.

8 top 10s from my album 18 Months now! So happy!!!


Harris’ imperious chart-stretch with “18 Months” began in June 2011 with “Bounce” FT Kelis (No. 2 peak), followed by “Feel So Close” (No. 2), “We Found Love” with Rihanna (No. 1), “Let’s Go FT Ne-Yo” (No. 2), “We’ll Be Coming Back” FT Example (No. 2),” Sweet Nothing” FT Florence Welch (No. 1) and “Drinking From The Bottle” (No. 5).

According to charts compiler the Official U.K. Charts Company, “18 Months” has now sold more tha 543,000 units in the U.K. since its release in October of last year. The album is currently at No. 13 after 25 weeks on the Official Albums Chart, where it has spent two weeks at No. 1, and 10 weeks inside the Top 10.

In other chart news, Jessie J becomes the first British female to score six Top 10 hits from one album, her 2011 debut album “Who You Are.” It’s an achievement that places her level with U.S. artists Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. Gaga scored six top 10 hits from 2008’s “The Fame” and from the expanded edition of 2009’s “The Fame Monster", while Perry had six top 10s from her second album “Teenage Dream” (2010), and the 2012 deluxe edition "Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection."

British boyband Take That are the only group to score six top 10 singles from one album, which they did with 1993’s album “Everything Changes.”

Calvin Harris eight top tens from one album


Just shows the big differences that sometimes occur between the British and American charts

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Yet the singles from Harris' album were coming out over a year before the album itself. It's a neat chart record, for sure, but one I would put an asterisk by I think. How far in advance is too far for it to no longer count as a single from the album itself?

[josh]

Yet the last 2 singles came after the album, so I think that shows the previous singles likely would have made top 10 even had he released the album sooner.

[HolidayGuy]

^That's a good point- much like when there are re-releases of an album, and there are such-and-such top 10s counted as top 10s from the original release.

It would be like releasing only singles, having them go top 10 and then releasing a greatest hits containing those singles.

Wow at the gain for "Just Give Me a Reason"- smash.

Seems about right. I count 143 million views for the week ending Sunday, April 21st (April 22nd #s). Using a conservative estimte of 15% are US views, I calculate 21.45 million US streams. That should be enough to get it to #1 (unless BB changes the formula again). However, it could take quite a tumble on the May 11th chart unless its' sales and streaming #s start increasing again.

It feels a couple years old to me. I completely forgot that it just came out only last April.

*voms* @ the 10 year anniversary of "In Da Club." I've hated that song since the first time I heard it.
