Billboard Hot 100: 08/03/2013

[Rocky]

On "Blurred Lines":
"He has the Today Show, America Got Talent, The View, & Jimmy Fallon all next week."

We are doomed. This will finish with 10 weeks of selling above 300k.

Since Mirrors or/and Holy Grail is/are dropping what besides same love, i wonder what the song will be probably clarity or safe and sound

I hope safe and sound. But i think clarity will make it.
another contender is love somebody.

7th week at #1 for "Blurred Lines", damn will it beat "We Found Love"?

This and STIUTK have such a broad crossover appeal, I think I saw BL at #1 on a dozen of Billboard charts.

It is going to get 10 for sure there isnt any competition yet the only one with a chance is lady gaga's new single MAYBE but it has 7,8 & 9 weeks locked down

since safe and sound has an increase in all areas the order for top ten entry is
1)Same Love
2)Clarity
3)Safe and Sound
4)Love Somebody

I wonder if 1D will debut in the top 5? They set a record on vevo with 10.9 million views!

Next week they will. I predict a #3.

I guess I can wait for the new thread. :)

Tonight's chart will probably be the same top 10 as last week, unless I'm forgetting something that went to Itunes last week.

Blurred Lines,' featuring T.I. and Pharrell, leads the list for a seventh week, the most time spent atop the list this year. Plus, Bruno Mars enters the top five

Robin Thicke notches a seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell), establishing the longest command for a Hot 100 topper this year. Meanwhile, Bruno Mars tallies his 10th top five hit as "Treasure" climbs 7-5.

As "Lines" spends a seventh week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, the song passes Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" (featuring Wanz) for the longest run atop the chart this year. "Shop" led for six nonconsecutive weeks in February-April (wrapped around Baauer's five-week domination with "Harlem Shake"). Maroon 5 boasts the last longer command on the Hot 100 with "One More Night," which spent nine weeks at No. 1 in September-November last year. Among solo males, Gotye last spent more time at the summit than Thicke, having ruled for eight frames with "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra) in April-June 2012. ("Somebody" eventually became the top Hot 100 song of 2012.)



"Lines" additionally sets one impressive airplay record, while approaching another. The song claims the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for an unprecedented eighth week (all consecutively). Seven songs had previously racked seven weeks (consecutive or not) claiming the honor dating to the prize's 1985 origin: Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" (2013); Rihanna's "What's My Name? (featuring Drake) (2010-11) and "Rude Boy" (2010); T-Pain's "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" (featuring Yung Joc) (2007); Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" (2006-07) and "Baby Boy" (featuring Sean Paul) (2003); and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (2005-06).

"Lines" leads Radio Songs for a third week, gaining by 10% to 197.7 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. Dating to the chart's December 1990 launch, the song has now drawn the second-highest weekly audience (setting up a race to watch next week):

212.2 million, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey (July 9, 2005)
197.7 million, "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke (featuring T.I. + Pharrell) (Aug. 3, 2013)
196.3 million, "Irreplaceable," Beyonce (Jan. 20, 2007)
192.4 million, "No One," Alicia Keys (Dec. 22, 2007)
189.6 million, "Let Me Love You," Mario (Feb. 5, 2005)
"Lines" tops the Digital Songs chart for an eighth week, selling 340,000 downloads (down 11%) in the Nielsen SoundScan tracking week. It spends a third week atop the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (2.6 million U.S. streams, up less than 1%, according to BDS) and holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (6.9 million, up 4%). It collects a seventh week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and a 10th week atop R&B Songs.

"Lines" maintains its lead on the Hot 100 despite a 2% loss in overall chart points. Meanwhile, a new runner-up moves up below it: Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," which rises 3-2 with a 15% points gain. "Stop" nabs a fifth week atop Streaming Songs (10.1 million, up 37%, good for top Streaming Gainer honors on the Hot 100); a fourth week at its No. 2 peak on Digital Songs (208,000, down 3%); and lifts 37-34 on Radio Songs (37 million, up 14%).

With the climb (to reference another of her hits …) of "Stop," Cyrus equals her best Hot 100 rank. Her "Party in the U.S.A." spent three weeks peaking at No. 2 in 2009.

Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" returns to its No. 3 Hot 100 highpoint, while topping Hot Rock Songs for an 18th week. It pushes 4-3 on Radio Songs (120 million, up 7%); dips 4-5 on Streaming Songs, although with a less than 1% gain to 4.7 million streams, a new weekly high; and rises 4-3 on Digital Songs (173,000, down 4%). Notably, the still smoldering song revisits its Hot 100 peak in its 47th week on the chart. That's as long as the band's debut hit "It's Time" spent on the Hot 100 between last June and this May; it peaked at No. 15.

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" (featuring Pharrell) slips 2-4 on the Hot 100 after peaking at No. 2 for five weeks. Still, "Lucky" bullets for a second week at No. 2 on Radio Songs (142 million, up 2%). It leads Dance/Electronic Songs for a record-extending 10th week.

Bruno Mars tallies his 10th top five Hot 100 hit, as "Treasure" ascends 7-5, gaining by 6% to 88 million in audience as it bullets for a second week at No. 6 on Radio Songs. Dating to Mars' first week in the Hot 100's top five (March 27, 2010), as a featured vocalist on B.o.B's "Nothin' on You," he's now tied Rihanna for the most top five entries in that span.

Macklemore & Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" (featuring Ray Dalton) drops 5-6 on the Hot 100 after spending five weeks at No. 1. It rules Rap Songs for a 14th week.

Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" (featuring Nelly) retreats 6-7 on the Hot 100, although it tops Hot Country Songs for an incredible 21st week, tying the record for the longest stay at No. 1 since the chart launched in 1944. Check out all the details on the song's continued coronation here.

Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Justin Timberlake, holds at No. 8 on the Hot 100 following its debut at that rank last week. The track slides 3-4 on Digital Songs (166,000, down 15%) but builds 16-8 on Streaming Songs (3.4 million, up 63%) on Streaming Songs and 47-40 on Radio Songs (31 million, up 19%).

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Anna Kendrick's "Cups (Pitch Perfect's When I'm Gone)" elevates 10-9, powered by climbs of 8-7 on Digital Songs (122,000, up 1%) and 16-12 on Radio Songs (66 million, up 15%); and Timberlake's No. 2-peaking "Mirrors" falls 9-10.

Nothing new top 10? ffs

[Deleted]

Nothing dropped out, ugh.

[Enigma.]

Well potentially only Same Love could've enter the top ten.

[SPRΞΞ]

(setting up a race to watch next week):

212.2 million, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey (July 9, 2005)
197.7 million, "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke (featuring T.I. + Pharrell) (Aug. 3, 2013)

here we go!

[HolidayGuy]

BL gained almost 19m for this chart week; it probably will gain less next week- but, it's looking like it will be close. People love record-breakers, so radio may pump up the spins even more just to make it happen. lol

[Glove Slap]

I hope Mirrors finally drops out next week.

[Au$tin]

That's a very unexpected and big climb in streaming for Miley! I mean, it pushed it up to #2 to get ahead of "Get Lucky"! :o

[HolidayGuy]

Ms. Destiny Hope (S)Miley (Hanna Montana) Cyrus (soon-to-be Hemsworth?) can't stop. :'(.

[jko7]

whether or not it happens 'next week' isnt it very likely BL will beat WBT w/in a the next or 'two' as its only first smashing on HOT AC, still doing very well on Urban formats and decent on pop? Guess what im asking is if it starts to get negative updates only on pop, is 15+ million doable on the other formats?

Well, that's a mouthful. No 'Achy Breaky Heart' for her this week.

It has the potential to gain another 1-3 million AI on pop, another 5-7 million AI on hot AC, another 1-3 million on rhythmic, another 3-5 million on urban, another 1-2 million on urban AC, and another 15-20 million on AC. However, we should lower AC a lot because they are extremely slow and the song won't potentially go #1 there until the other formats are done with it. So, possibly another 5-8 million on AC before the other formats are done with it.

That still leaves potential growth for BL anywhere from 11-28 million AI higher than where it's at now. Of course these are all Mediabase numbers, and the lower end would not be enough to push it over WBT's official Billboard numbers, but the higher end would be just barely.

[Caviar]

I'm hoping BL can beat the record.

[brady47]

Wow, too bad for Miley, this is her second time being blocked from #1 by a major hit.

The first time was Party in the USA, blocked by I Gotta Feeling (and then Down by Jay Sean) when she was 16, and now four years later, she's probably gonna be stuck behind Blurred Lines.

[brady47]

Was not expecting Get Lucky to fall all the way down to #4! I thought it had another month or so of being stuck at #2.

[brady47]

Why is We Can't Stop not doing as well in radio compared to Heart Attack and Come & Get It. Those had really fast climbs in terms of radio airplay.

I think it will in 2 weeks.

[jko7]

agree..dunno about 1 week as the pop updates are def. slowing down. Dont think its gonna start to plummet as the song is still red hot and about to return to #1 on iTunes, but we prob. wont see anything close to the daily 2-3+ million updates again lol. As mentioned already (and most agree) what will prob. take it to the top and break the record are the increases on the AC formats along with the still solid updates its getting on Urban formats.

It's far less of a radio friendly song that "Heart Attack" and "Come & Get It." However, it's continuing to get decent updates and its callout scores continue to increase. The song should be a lock for top 20 in airplay.

I don't get it as well, the song is a success but radio is taking its sweet time, only +88 on Pop today while it should be getting +200s imo, it's a huge smash.

-

The country record that Florida Georgia Line beat is such B.S. Shame on you, Billboard!

These alternative hits last long on the charts, "Ho Hey" is coming for 60 weeks and "Radioactive" still top 3 coming for 50 weeks.

Hopefully "Mirrors" GTFO next week so "Clarity" or "Same Love" can finally enter top 10.

Im glad it actually fell lol because I love the song too much to see stuck at #2 forever (which I was also expecting). I think its more agonizing and annoying for the artist and fans when a song is at #2 for 2 months vs just a month- cause it just puts the fork in deeper thinking you wouldve had a #1 song for 8 weeks if it wasn't for the one blocking it.

How is "We Can't Stop" far less radio friendly? The song is straight up made for top 40 radio.. It's basically a Rihanna song molded for Miley.

We are doomed. This will finish with 10 weeks of selling above 300k.

oh my..hes DEF. goin' for some record breaking action full force! lol. Between the sales increases will also come more radio requests. Timing is a little too coincidental (and a very wise man)! ;)
