the teaser for Maps isn't really a teaser. couldn't pick out even a bit of how it's going to sound, but still cool. I'd love it if Maps debuted at #1, and Fancy never returns. Wow, you like Maroon 5 that much? no, just not a fan of fancy, but Maroon 5 is cool. I like some of their stuff |

I can't believe Sing is over already. Ed's album isn't out for another 10 days. I don't get that Nico & Vinz song. Birthday is still holding on. Katy has 190M between 2 songs. Her label isn't crying that Birthday didn't blow up. love Am I Wrong. That, Ain't It Fun, Happy, and Summer are constantly played on my phone. |

I'm probably a little behind than most people on this board. I am current, but not freakin' current like you youngens. lol. I just started getting into Problem. fun song. And Happy is just one of those rare songs in my life that I'll never get tired of, i've listened to it so many times, for some reason, it hits my soul in a great way.

I had Happy on repeat until about 3 weeks ago. Now I'm avoiding it. Even though I still play clips of it just for the hell of it but it's certainly not in my top 5 anymore (even though it was my #1 like 6 weeks ago. Fancy is my next big thing. I could see it still being one of my favorite songs two months from now. It's addicting and catchy and fun to sing along to IMO. I really do hope Happy will beat Dark Horse in the year-end chart though (and I don't see any other song, even Fancy or All of Me, being in the top two year-end just because H and DH blew up so much in the first few months of this year).

There's a chance that All of Me will be number one on radio songs this week, which will make it the first time since 5 and a half years ago that two consecutive number ones on the chart were number one for 8 or more weeks...interesting

Though, it's worth noting that "Mirrors" spent 7 weeks at number one followed by "Blurred Lines" for 11 weeks. Had "Blurred Lines" had slowed down for one week at the beginning, it would have happened just last year as well. |

Ugh at Iris. Could have been the longest running #1 song on the hot 100 minus that stupid chart policy, tho at the time it made sense.

"Don't Speak" also had a lengthy run atop Hot 100 Airplay (16 weeks). Another thing to consider: would these 1990s song have enjoyed those lengthy runs if all formats were included on Hot 100 Airplay back then?

But even if the chart policy had been changed a year earlier Iris still likely wouldn't have gotten 18 weeks on top because it had zero sales points. The Boy Is Mine, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, and First Night all had strong sales and would most likely have kept the Goo Goo Dolls from getting their full 18 week reign on the Hot 100. It's not the stupid chart policy, it's the stupid labels withholding physical singles at a time when that mattered. Sadly, we'll never know what it's Hot 100 chart run would have been.

Songs powerful enough to spend 18 weeks at #1 would have also been 18 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 had it been available as a single. Kill the single or severely limit it to make you buy the album for $16.99 was the order of the day. In some cases it worked, in others it didn't.

How many weeks did Bryan Adams EIDIDIFY spent on top of airplay? I remember it was a monster, but ended up with 7 at #1 on H100. Can't always assume that sales and airplay would be in tandem or that an airplay hit will result in ongoing sales - especially during that era. Thanks to Columbia for deleting I'll Be There to boost Mariah's "Unplugged" pretty much started the whole deleting of singles or airplay only hits. It completely backfired as we know with the launch of peer-to-peer. I'll never forget seeing Blackstreet Boys, Britney and other hits during that time for $19.99 at record stores. After that I only bought used. |

Everything I DO I Do It For You spent 8 weeks at #1 on the airplay chart
Lines up pretty well with the 7 weeks it got on the Hot 100

"Everything I Do..." enjoyed a bigger run in sales- 17 weeks at No. 1 on the POS sales chart- but, keep in mind that neither Top 40 Radio Monitor or the POS chart were used for the Hot 100 until late November of that year. Oddly, from late May-late November, Billboard printed those charts, but not the ones that actually made up the Hot 100. It was fine to give readers a preview/comparison, but they should have also made room for the charts used for the Hot 100 during those months.

And Torn by Natalie Imbruglia (Love that song)! But to be honest, I don't know if those songs would be able to outtake monster singles like "The Boy Is Mine".

But recall that monster #1 airplay songs weren't guaranteed #1 on Hot 100 even with commercial single availability.
Take Donna Lewis' "I Love You Always Forever" for example:
#1 Hot 100 airplay for 13 (!) weeks, unable to get to #1 (Thanks, Macarena)

FYI, when Everything I Do... was released, the first time I heard it I said, there goes Bryan Adams career, horrible song. lol. That's how bad I am at predicting hits.

Well, that's true, but here's another couple:
Jewel #1 for 9 weeks on Hot 100 airplay, couldn't get to #1.
Dionne Farris the most heard song for 7 weeks, couldn't get above #4 on the Hot 100.
Point is, nothing was a guarantee back in the 90s.
Awful - yet fascinating - time to be a chart watcher.

Gary, what do you think of the new Hot 100 print layout? Sucks. Confusing to read. The 1984 re-design was the best way to read the charts. |

A 90s factor to put into play on some of these. As we all know several classic songs from the period were never released as singles. The production on many others stopped before the chart run of the single was over to help kill the single and promote the album

areyouready, I agree about the Oct '84 redesign; Tragically it would seem too dull by today's standards.
I can't believe the chart is now THREE pages! It's like an article.
