Billboard Hot 100: 08/03/2013

[Deleted]

Streaming is becoming a much more accurate barometer than radio. The Hot 100 will probably be heavily streaming and downloads based within the next 10 years.

[Au$tin]

I believe streaming is still a bit off at the moment. On this week's chart "Safe and Sound" is just now debuting and "Gangnam Style" is still top 10. But I do agree that as time goes on, streaming will become more and more tuned into what people really love to listen to and it should become a bigger component on the chart.

Espically because downloads increase all the time

Come & Get It is falling like a rock. Didn't Heart Attack and even Give Your Heart a Break have a much better radio record than Come & Get It?

"Heart Attack" fell at pretty much the same pace earlier this year. I don't recall "Give Your Heart a Break" falling quite as hard as these two.

Wish this was playlisted outside adult stations as well but it's just impossible.

Why? If a song is good, any radio station will play it. ;)

Based on the song, Home Again could actually get some country love.

Robin still slaying.

[HolidayGuy]

Enrique Iglesias apparently had a CC airplay promo, as it registered 12.541m Mediabase audience at top 40 radio.

[Rocky]

"Blurred Lines" is above 240M AI, has a 62M AI lead on song #2 and still got the biggest update today.

[jko7]

I know anything can happen but I just dont see how BL can come to an abrupt halt when the proof is more in the pudding that this is a once in a very rare blue moon multi format mega smash that will prob. pass WBT very soon. For a song that's been out this long to be getting these kind of updates (STILL the biggest of all songs lol) is unheard of. When a song crosses over into 'your mom and her uptight mother and father liking a certain song' which is what BL is lol means its not playing. Weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 I dunno (as its still only at 6 weeks which means it needs 10+ more weeks to beat One Sweet Day). That's still a very long time. Yet the airplay and overall points are SO massive that even if Gaga or Katy get a deal and huge 1st week #s, by that time the airplay lead alone will prob. prevent them from getting #1 debut week (and if they do) may just be a for a week until airplay catches up.

[3m3r7c]

Does anyone have the airplay updates for ho hey, my songs... (fallout boy), and sail?

[jko7]

damn, soo many of the songs from 1998/15 yrs ago could easily be hits today. Most of them still sound very contemporary. Even many songs from 1993 would still get airplay if out today. I think the biggest change in the contemporary 'sound' came between 1983-88.

[jko7]

I think (as kinda fcked up/complex) as the chart system is today the worst ever was the 1998 era (when it was ALL radio airplay). It was a period of total corruption and greed (right before downloading) so people were FORCED to buy entire albums for one song, buy a super pricey imported single (or tape it off the radio) :/. Those were your only options. Songs like Iris and Torn shouldve been mega #1s on the Hot 100 and wouldve been- plain and simple.

Hmm, well Madonna only made the top 10 based on strong sales, if I'm not mistaken.

[popstop]

^ I remember buying a Ray of Light "cassingle" for $.49 - I am pretty sure that was the last cassingle I ever bought. A year later, I was using Napster.

[kingofpain]

Boo, is "I Need Your Love" finished already? Didn't "Sweet Nothing" peak around 100+ million? I'm surprised this has petered out already and we're not even halfway through Summer!

[nivekwriter1]

I think it's almost sure that Blurred Lines will break Mariah's record. It has 240M and it's still having +3M updates :o

[jko7]

^ yep, the only major big hurdle it has to cross (which is still a WAYS away) is breaking the 16 week at #1 Hot 100 record. Its only at 6 weeks (at least 7 and 8 are gauranteed) which means it needs 2/ 1/2 months more at #1. If I remember though, BL, (like WBT and OSD) had massive, off the chart airplay. But WBT didnt have the sales, though I think OSD did. Timing is also key and I remember OSD had minimal competition- which was why it stayed at #1 so long. BL 'may' have the competition in the next month or so, but its 'overall points' are gonna be so huge if it keep growing like it is (on multiple formats esp. like AC and Hot AC) that a song may sneak a week or so at #1, then surrender to BL again. Airplay and sales (after this long) is unheard of and a once a decade or so kind of thing. Obviously, the entire chart system is day and night different than 1996, and to decent degree 2005, but the ingredients are there for BL to do in or around the same kind of weeks at #1 as those two Mimis songs. The factors that make a song a #1 for 10+ weeks is major multi format support (songs that you'll still hear in years to come) plus strong, consistent sales. 

[livelikedying111]

I think it still has 20M AI room for growth, so we all may be witnessing a new record very soon.
As much as I want Mariah to keep the record, I'm glad to be witnessing some history in the making, as I missed it when Mariah had done it. If only it were with a song I liked/understood its success.

[Deleted]

1. ROBIN THICKE – Blurred Lines f/Pharrell & T.I: 240.418 (+ 3.145)
damn!
I hope it can't break thrift shop's record for 9 weeks selling more than 300k.
Do you think BL deserves so much gaining in airplay?

Do you think BL deserves so much gaining in airplay?

What kind of question is this? It's getting the sales, the airplay, and the streaming, so it obviously "deserves" whatever it's getting.

If this song was by a white woman, I doubt this question would be getting asked.

[HolidayGuy]

The number of radio hits not released as cassette/CD singles grew annually from the mid-90s to 1998, so, yeah, that particular year was very big on top radio hits not charting.

I don't recall "Ray of Light" as 49 cents; 99 cents, I believe, is what I got it for. And $1.99 for the regular CD single. The maxi CD, of course, was $4 or so.

[damazz09]

I'm so excited to see Blurred Lines break Mariah's record for WBT. Ever since urban lost its dominance in CHR/POP, I thought that we wouldn't see a multi-format smash for a long long time.

As for breaking One Sweet Day's record- i don't know. I really don't see this spending more than 6 weeks at #1 after this. If I remember correctly at the last two songs that almost broke the record- I Gotta Feeling & We Belong Together. I Gotta Feeling was used several times for marketing ads towards the end of 14 week run which kept sales high. And We Belong Together had that remix that featured Jadakiss. Radio added that remix to their playlist as if it was an entirely new song which kept that song afloat atop of the Hot 100. If Blurred Lines wants that record from One Sweet Day, the label is going to have to be creative to keep that song #1 for 11 more weeks. It's also going to have to keep that song #1 away from Katy, Gaga, and Britney whenever their songs debut which will be interesting to see.
