[wavey.]

Damn, Jason flew!

[slw84]

So earned it is the only shot at this point for dethroning Kings Mark and Bruno.

I'm here for Uptown funk tying the 16 week record though.

[Clauss]

SIO increasing in airplay. The longetivity is real

[ILLUSION]

Bruno about to get that 14th week

And a 15th and probably 16th too. It has a large lead in airplay and streaming. I really would like to see records getting broken...Earned It is the one with the best chance and it still has catching up to do in streaming and airplay. Still think Uptown Funk has a decent chance at beating the record.

That's what I've been saying (even more than airplay is the streaming factor for UF). So far EIs streaming has been so-so. It's just not the kind of song I could see making major strides w/ streaming or doing anything viral etc..anytime soon. A song like UF is the polar opposite and streaming I could def. see making the difference during that week (which is coming) when it's super close and when it 'may' simply come down to streaming. Has happened more than a few x if I remember correctly.  I'd be very surprised if RCA doesn't have some kind of backup plan already in the works since they have to know they have a def. shot at at least tying the record. Dunno who's running the show over there but would be curious to see who good they are w/ this kind of rare circumstance- something that only happens a few times during a decade!

[ss8]

Also if streaming was NOT a factor, just look at last week- *due to streaming is why is was 40-50% ahead of Sugar. W/out streaming it would've been maybe 5-10% max. W/out streaming Sugar most likely would of been a shoe-in #1 next week...esp. w/ whatever boost they get after performing it on the Voice.

[wjr15]

Not really a big fan of Earned It, so I would be happy with UF blocking it and breaking the record for the longest running #1

How the fuck is BBHMM still increasing so much on iTunes????? I thought the iHeartRadio awards were like 2 days ago

Oh, right, I forgot about that one........
i hope the effect doesn't last too long...I can already see that Digital Songs record slipping away :'( I just need one more week then I don't care if Rihanna returns to #1 lol.

+1! lol. Not at all feeling the love/hype for this song Totally ordinary, forgettable and just doesn't sound like an instant smash. I'd be the first to admit it if it was. When I heard Roar I didn't like it that much but knew in my gut it was easily gonna topple Blurred Lines. That it did effortlessly. Yes, it's starting to pick up w/ sales (and esp. on radio) but would be surprised if it gets a major lead on iTunes w/ constant green updates lol.

LOL. Well, it would be a lose lose for her either way cause if it goes to #1, would only bring Rihanna closer to beating her record for most #1s! lol 

[Deleted]

Prediction:

1. Uptown Funk (35-40% lead)
2. Sugar
3. Love Me Like You Do
4./5. Thinking Out Loud/Earned It
6. Trap Queen
7. GDFR
8. Somebody
9. Style
10./11./12. Bitch Better Have My Money/Shut Up And Dance/FourFiveSeconds

...would Billboard count streams from a porno? And yes, this is a very serious question!

Lol if it is an official music video for the song, why not?

[crystalphnx]

YouTube probably wouldn't post it, even with a Warning/18+ Restriction option (they can have nudity, but I don't think actual porn.) As we've learned with the "Trouble" video, apparently Facebook doesn't report its streams to BB, so idk where this hypothetical RiRi porno would get posted + viewed in order to count for the Hot 100.

Well nudity would still do the trick (worked for Miley didn't it?)

side note: I hate to admit it, but Trap Queen is actually kinda growing on me now lol...it has a good beat and I think the song is kinda catchy after a couple listens. His voice is a tad annoying but it's tolerable; I can live with that.
Unlike Hot Boy, the song has good sales and pretty good airplay and, unlike Don't Tell 'Em (when it was peaking), it has a video and excellent streaming so I don't think #6 will be its peak like with the others. I can see it reaching #4 maybe even #3 if streams hold up and sales stay on the rise as they currently are and hold ("Sexy Can I" of 2015?). I would be ok with that at this point. Wouldn't want it to be #1 though but I highly doubt it will be.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. Vevo and Youtube wouldn't allow it because of their TOS, and I don't know what other video streaming source Billboard uses, if any (if they don't include any others it's a glaring oversight on their part imo, but oh well). Daily Motion with the 18 and up disclaimer? I think DM allows pornographic clips, but I'm not about to check the validity of this right now

Second version of Uptown Funk! back in top 100 on iTunes 94.9% of BBHMM...come on, UF!! Get that important 14th week atop Digital Songs! I really hope it gets that weekend boost again this weekend!

[Dylan :)]

Wonder where Big Girls Cry will enter next week. Weird how it isn't in the top 200 on iTunes!

[allow that]

Alternatively we can hope it doesn't!!!

Lol at how many hate any song gets after it is #1 for a really long time. It's kinda fun to see the haters rage as said song continues its inevitable success despite what they say. Keep hating.
But what's absolutely hilarious and ironic is when said hater has been picking on you for disliking a certain song. I guess it's only acceptable if it is a song he or she doesn't like.

Please, you're free to like any song you wish. But don't expect the whole world to join your fan club just because YOU like it. This thread isn't intended as a pep rally for your favorite song.

[josh]

And what about your repeated hate for "Dark Horse," "Hot Boy," anything by Demi Lovato, and countless others? You're being just a tad hypocritical.

The Hot 100 thread used to be a place for interesting discussions and information but now it's just the same few posters arguing with each other about how much they love or hate every song.

[popbox]

Kinda ironic that a lot of people expected LMLYD to be the song that dethroned UF, but it might actually be the other 50 Shades song no one was paying any attention to as a contender less than a month ago.

[badrobot]

Crazy prediction: Shut Up and Dance dethrones UF after it spends 17 weeks at #1
