Seriously, the 2010's are far superior to the 2000's in terms of pop music. Overall yes and by far, but most of the Hot 100 #1's this decade have been putrid. At least since 2013 or so. At least there's diversity in musical styles now. The #1's in the first half of the 00's are hard to look at. |

Ok I have a question. I am listening for Trap Queen for the first time right now and I am curious, not how it made it into the top 10, but how it took off in the first place? Was there a viral vid or something? A remix featuring a more recognizable name? Hot Boy I understood b/c it had the Shmoney dance and "about a week ago!" but I cannot discern one even mildly memorable hook, melody, or line in this song. It's not even obnoxious; everything is too monotone for me to be annoyed. I have already forgotten what it sounds like and don't feel compelled to play it again. So that is what I don't get. It's not that I think the song is too 'bad' for the top 10 - history has shown that no song is too bad to be successful - but it's too boring to be in the top 10. I am truly confused at how anyone latched on to this. Even Coco would make more sense in the top 10 right now. And goodness knows Coco is the worst song that has ever been made in the history of music. If we were going to be accepting ratchet novelty hits into the top ten I would have taken I Don't Mind because for better or worse that song's stupid ass melody won't ever leave my side. But no, IDM has to be stuck with an #11 peak. I hate #11 peaks more than Mark G hates Dark Horse! No comment on Mark G's music tastes though...we all know he's rather, um, consistent about reminding us what he doesn't like. Heh. Let me clear the air once and for all: I DO NOT HATE DARK HORSE!!! You can see it made #1 on my chart lol (just got tired of it rather quickly and don't understand why it was on the Billboard Hot 100 for so many weeks). I actually really liked it at one point but it burned out for me and now it's just meh to me (I don't dislike it at all - in fact I still kinda like it! I was just very frustrated and confused at it's very lengthy run on the Hot 100). It would've made sense if you said "I hate #11 peaks more than Mark G. hates Anaconda" or #selfie or one of those songs that I actually despise lol. I also don't like #11 peaks but even more so I dislike long #2 peaks (such as with Thinking Out Loud, even though as it goes without saying I'm a huge fan of Uptown Funk) well then...I hate #11 peaks more than you hate ALL of those things. I really, really, really, REALLY cannot stand #11 peaks (#21 peaks come a close second). I can deal with a #2 peak because that is still so high, and most if not all of the long-running songs that peak at #2 will be remembered as big hits regardless. In two specific cases - Boulevard of Broken Dreams and SUBG - they'll even be remembered more quickly than the song that blocked them from #1 (Candy Shop). But something about a song just barely missing top 10 or top 20 entirely grinds my gears. I'm sure IDM dropped because it was already starting to lose airplay and sales when it somehow got to #11 anyway. I was so much happier when it was chilling at 12 or 13. |

Maybe we should be talking about this? Most Added at Top 40 Radio 156 JASON DERULO Want To Want Me 56 MEGHAN TRAINOR Dear Future Husband Jason breaks a record for being most added Nerp. Not a record. :) It is also worth noting that this week's Billboard Pop Songs chart reports 123 for DeRulo. I can only check back to 2013 and haven't checked thoroughly yet, but one figure I've already found was that BB reported 157 for "Suit and Tie" when that debuted on the 2/2/2013 chart - which was also their full Pop panel at the time. :) |

Trap Queen... it isn't as bad as Hot Boy, at least, but still... Just going to pretend it doesn't exist right now. To me, whatever is #11 is #10 lmao.
Chances of Chandelier making 52 weeks?

Well I would guess that Take Me To Church is #11 right now and based on your previous comments in the last few months I don't think you'd be too happy about that one being #10 either  and as of last week's chart (3/21) it is out of the top 40 with 7 weeks to go before reaching 52 weeks so unless it somehow resurges yet again I doubt it will make it |

#11 songs only bother me if I like the song. Don't care otherwise. 41 is what gets me. That would bother me if my only song stalled at #41

19 songs 11 weeks+ since 1992
1 record prior to 1992 and even that one was because Don't Be Cruel and Hound Dog charted separately and both hit #1. The combined weeks adds up to 11.

If Uptown Funk gets two more weeks at #1, it will be in the top ten longest reigns in the history of the chart!

The article says Thinking Out Loud is #2 on Streaming Songs with 10.9 million streams while Love Me Like You Do is #3 with 14.2 million streams...something's not right here  The only explanations I can think of are that it is a usual typo by Billboard, or that more of Thinking Out Loud's streams are On-Demand, which count more than passive streams. |

Actually, Don't Be Cruel and Hound Dog charted together as the same single, Hound Dog as the B-side, for 11 weeks. This was on the Bestsellers in Stores chart, which was the main chart back then. |

Although it is true they were the same listing on every chart, they were not always listed in the same order. For some of those 11 weeks Hound Dog was listed first for the remainder it was Don't Be Cruel.
Although they are listed together, they both hit #1 for a combined total of 11 weeks

I want it to get a tenth week at #1 in streaming |

Everyone hating on Trap Queen... does not have a Trap Queen in your life.
Get one, and then come back to me and say you don't like this turn up, fun song!
Edit: I should probably elaborate that my roommate is my best friend and she is a stripper and I go visit her in the strip club and we actually relate to this song together, and she calls herself my trap queen, so I think its just a case of me relating to the song.
But I understand the hate, I never liked or understood the love for Hot Boy.

so has Billboard changed its policy for crediting featured acts on "remixes"? although we don't have the exact sales breakdown, it seems VERY safe to assume that the duet version of "Lay Me Down" accounted for the majority of its sales last week (by a sizable margin) - yet John isn't credited on any of the latest Billboard charts that I've seen.  |

It should be noted that there were 2 tracks that officially became Top 20 hits this past week: "Chains" by Nick Jonas @ #20 (up from #25) and "One More Time" by Ariana Grande @ #18 (up from #22). Side note- Two other tracks in the Top 20 saw new peaks and, also, became Top 15 hits: "GDFR" by Flo Rida/Sage The Gemini/Lookas @ #13 (up from #16) and "Somebody" by Natalie La Rose/Jeremih @ #15 (up from #19) :) I'm curious why Pulse doesn't ever post the full Hot 100. Is it not available anymore in an easily "copy-to-paste" format? I wouldn't mind typing it out from the Billboard site, if need be... |

Wow Uptown Funk is actually gaining again on iTunes! This is kind of crazy lol. Def. doing what BL did 2 years ago yet there's a LOT less competition and no new big releases on the horizon. Nothing seems to get within 10-20% of it on iTunes w/out eventually falling back. Long as this doesn't abruptly drop out of nowhere like BL did and the competition stays like it is now, all Bruno needs is about 4-5 more weeks to tie the record on the Hot 100. I think the biggest usual possible issues (as usual) is if something goes viral, major surprise release or if airplay plummets hard. Unlike BL, Uptown Funk I think is crossing over even more and continues to do so as it's def less controversial.
