Billboard Hot 100: 06/01/2013

[SPRΞΞ]

congrats to Daft Punk! WW smash all-around.

[HolidayGuy]

Daft Punk- one of thee instances where Hot 100 peak position doesn't tell the full story.

[Deleted]

Hot 100 peak position measures popularity in the US only for that time period only. Limited in scope if you use it to 'tell the whole story" on a songs popularity. After the specified period of the peak position lapses, popularity and perception of popularity can and likely will change.


I would say Hot 100 peaks NEVER tell the whole story

[Au$tin]

I wouldn't say "never," because there are many instances where they do tell "the whole story," but definitely not always.

I mean, "Umbrella" was a seven week #1 hit and went down in history as arguably one of the biggest hits of 2007. It remains to be one of Rihanna's biggest and one of 2000s' biggest hits and there are many other examples like it.

But, obviously, there are many, if not more, counterexamples as well. I mean, we're talking about one right now, ha ha.

[josh]

Regardless, my point still stands. If they had 2 hits before and one now, 20 years after their debut, that doesn't make them comparable to Britney, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, etc. That's like saying (in the US only) when "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was a hit that Kylie's career had shown as much longevity (again, only talking about the US; I know she had lots of success elsewhere)as Madonna. It's just completely wrong when the time inbetween those hits was full of flops.

People talk about Mariah having "staying power", geez, Daft Punk released their first hit in 1997 (15 years ago!!!), they're up there with Britney, Christina and Justin! It's pretty awesome to see all these "veteran" acts staying relevant!

Something here is not like the others... dun... dun... dun....

She may not be the lead artist ,but she's still the main reason behind Feel This Moment doing well.

[RadioBeatz]

Christina Aguilera's hit streak is 1999-2013 so far...

Justin Timberlake: 2002-2013 (*NSync: 1998-2002)

Britney Spears: 1998-2013 (altough BOMT peaked in 1999)

Mariah Carey: 1990-2013 :o

[allow that]

I wouldn't consider an isolated guest spot on a Pitbull song as part of any "streak"

[Deleted]

She may be flopping but her career isn't over yet. It may just be a feature, and even though it's just my personal opinion that the chorus makes the song, she was also featured on Moves Like Jagger, and Your Body/Not Myself Tonight did well enough to say that she's still active in music.

Let There Be Love is #1 on the Dance/ Club play chart this week as well.

Yes and no. The chorus is why the song is doing well. You can say that about almost every song. It isn't her presence or her name that is making it a hit though. She's essentially faceless on the track. It could've been Wynter Gordon or something, and it still would be a hit. (imo)

[jenglisbe]

When haven't there been any retro tracks charting, though?

Also, why is "#Beautiful" taking a bigger hit on the Mediabase-to-BDS transition than, say, "Get Lucky?"

I agree, it could be a hit with any random hook ho, but then again you could say that about a lot of songs. But the song is still technically doing well and keeping her relevant, even if her starpower isn't the reason behind its success. Though I do think her vocals helped the song a bit.

[jenglisbe]

I guess it depends how one defines "relevant." Is she on a song that was a hit? Yes. But does that mean she is relevant herself and that she can have a hit on her own? The answer is no.
When is the last time Christina had a legit hit where she was the lead artist?

Does "Feel This Moment" make a-ha relevant with a hit streak from 1985-2013? Although seriously, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Christina could have a Cher/"Believe" type hit at some point. I don't think we'll be able to totally count her out for a long long time to come.

NSync didn't have a top 20 hit in 1996. "I Want You Back" reached the top 20 in 1998.

Yeah, I went to their discography page on Wikipedia, and it lists the song as being released in 1996 and peaking at #13 that year. Discography pages don't tell the full story, though. Click on the title and it says it was released in 1996 to Germany, but 1998 to the US, when it peaked at #13. Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed!

If anyone else spots small things like that in those lists, please let me know! :)

[Duca]

I doubt Christina helped "Moves Like Jagger" much (just compare her and Maroon 5's follow-up single to "Moves Like Jagger" -- the only thing they have in common is that they're critically panned,) but I do think she played a part in the success of "Feel This Moment" (which underperformed btw.) However, knowing her own chart positions, it's hard to attribute any of its success to her. Is "Just a Fool" gold yet? Is "Lotus" even halfway to gold? She had GOOD promo this era. Her last legitimate hit was "Hurt," IN 2006. None of the three albums she has released since 2006 has gone gold (or sold over 1 million worldwide.) She hasn't toured since 2007. I still don't consider her music career completely dead though because I don't see her label dropping her even if she continues to flops. It puzzles me how she fails to do well on charts but she's still somehow a bigger celebrity than -- for example -- P!nk and Kelly Clarkson, both of which are more successful than her right now.

She's still young, and the industry still sees at least SOME sort of viability in her (isn't she getting something like $15 million for the next season of the Voice?)

How did "Feel This Moment" underperform? It went to #4 on pop and #8 on the Hot 100. That's a lot higher than both Christina and Pitbull's last singles. ???

"Just a Fool" has sold over 415k as of early April. It will go gold by the end of the year. But other than that, no, she has not had a big hit since "Hurt." "Keeps Gettin' Better" was a top 20 hit in 2008 and peaked in the top 15 on pop radio, but you know...

Kind of sad how #2 on digital songs only gets you #12 on the H100... But hopefully it'll go top 3 soon!

I agree. The addition of streaming definitely makes the chart a more accurate representation of what is popular each week, but I do miss the days when it was simply sales and airplay. It just seems a little absurd to me that a song selling over 200,000 copies can't even manage a Top 10 peak on the Hot 100 these days.
