I dunno, Candy Shop seemed like a pretty massive hit to me at the time. I would have been a freshman in high school and I remember it as one of the biggies of that year. But yeah, longevity has kinda sucked. You can say that about a vast majority of rap #1's though it seems. They tend to be more fleeting of the moment hits. Especially since mainstream music shifted more away from rap at the end of last decade. I'm sure 50 completely falling off the radar years ago hasn't helped CS's case either.

Candy Shop is definitely remembered. The people who think it's forgotten probably never liked it in the first place and have done thier best in the past 10 years to ignore/avoid it. If you go clubbing a few times a week you'll still hear it regularly.

The party looks like it is over for Mark Ronson. A 14th and final week at #1 is probably on the way, only because the free fall started after the end of the tracking week
#5 on iTunes and soon to be #6.

I can't believe Candy Shop had nine weeks at the top; I didn't recall it lasting that long. Talk about #1s that are barely remembered... My son was born the last week of its run. At 10 years old, he is more than thrilled that a song called Candy Shop was #1 for his birthday. Just wait until he's 15 and knows what the song is about. |

I like this definition. Active discussion about songs that are 'not remembered' is contradictory.

So you still think sales is everything and that a couple hundred k will make up the enormous difference in the other two components?  And I still hear Candy Shop from time to time on the radio and parties and stuff. |

However, all sorts of songs are starting to pass it up now. Wiz has a 4 to 1 sales lead over Uptown Funk. Yesterday it was 3 to 1. We are not even half way through the tracking week. Your song will get to 14 weeks. I would not count on 15. At this point forget about 17.

No chance at 16 weeks now? Anything is possible. I posted a prediction at this point that could be proven wrong. It is trending the wrong way, I would think.
This would be a good time for a 69 cent sale if the push for 16 or 17 were something of a concern beyond this thread.

Someone said WBT was #1 while being #20 on Digital Songs though. And UF has an extra push factor that is streaming so just because SUAD and possibly EI have a very small lead in sales alone that doesn't mean it's over yet lol. |

But is really possible SYA selling 400K this week? In that case it would be on top 3 next week?

Your song will be fine. When all is said and done, it will tie Mariah and the Peas for longest run at #1 this century |

They might be down somewhat in 2015 compared to 2014 or 2013 (I forget if digital sales have begun to increase again or not) but they were only making a dent in 2005 and is not worth a comparison. Why don't you just take a wait-and-see approach for UF. It'll alleviate your anxiety. |

Exactly.. there's a difference between "forgotten" song and "a song I didn't like" Candy shop is for 50 cent what Baby boy is for Beyonce, the song was big but time was more generous with In da club and Crazy in love Anyway i think Candy shop (even with 50 cent not being a top artist anymore) is better remembered than most of rap number ones of that era |

Did we ever figure out bks' secret? I always assumed he worked at Nielsen or somewhere.
Very 'insider-knowledgable' on top of his provided stats, and always very cautious to keep his sources secret.

I would love someone that actually has knowledge of the formula to project what week 15 is looking like. SYA has a huge sales lead (maybe 3-1 or 4-1), UF has a 21-1 lead in airplay, and who knows on streaming. Reading this thread is a headache with people hoping, wishing, and trolling without seeing much of the evidence/facts most of us come to love reading about on a weekly basis. Thanks to those that try to predict using facts instead of people trying to find a way to knock off a #1 song via viral videos (maybe one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum btw).
Personally I'd rather watch the chart due to trends and factual evidence than coming to the forum yelling about a song trying to knock of their favorite artist from the '90s or giving 'dark green' updates. Everyone take a step back and breathe deeply.
