It looks like the reference to Uptown Funk was a joke. The Taylor Swift song, as well as Shut Up And Dance are next in line as the Pulse People's choice to dethrone See You Again once its run ends ( which does not look to be any time soon) The Taylor Swift song will debut its music video on the 17th. This will reflect on the 6/6 chart. Hopefully the video won't be a flop like that of Style. I don't know how much of an impact The Voice will have on SUAD next week, but I'm hoping it's a big one. SUAD is one of my favorite songs this year! Also did we clarify whether The Voice performance views count towards streaming? |

so we're not allowed to ever criticize an artist if they are lewd, crude, overtly, ridiculously sexual, in any way cuz that's slut shaming. got it. Miley Cyrus, Iggy...etc. do everything in the name of art. cool.

Miley Cyrus, Iggy...etc. do everything in the name of art. cool. I mean, since I'm not a Mod, I can't stop you... But I strongly disagree with the idea that being sexual or provocative is bad (unless they're being forced to, but that's a whole different discussion.) I also think female artists get way more backlash for being sexual than male artists. Women are expected to be both virgins and whores, at the command of men. But I'm definitely soapboxing now, and going beyond the scope of this thread. Of course you're allowed to express your opinion, I'll just likely disagree with it. |

I think See You Again week 5 and 6 are on lock. Beyond that, who knows? The radio airplay is growing faster than Shut Up and Dance. The growth in airplay and the continued popularity of the movie will slow its decline and make it harder for sudden new releases or older slow climbing songs to overtake it (at least in the near future anyway). |

OMI's 'Cheerleader' Will Be Billboard's Next No. 1 Hit, According to Shazam
News /By Natalie Weiner | May 08, 2015 4:14 PM EDT
Using the data Shazam gathers from its 100 million active users, O'Riordan said that based on previous pop hits, Jamaican singer OMI's quickly rising "Cheerleader" is going to be the next ruler of the Hot 100. In two weeks on the chart, "Cheerleader" has already gone from No. 95 to No. 63 -- so they might just be on to something.
One of the examples used to show Shazam's predictive powers was U.K. group Clean Bandit, whose hit "Rather Be" peaked on Shazam charts prior to taking over European and eventually U.S. radio. "Thirty-three days out, we can predict Billboard No. 1 hits," O'Riordan insists, explaining that the correlation between radio airplay and the initiative people have to take to use Shazam to identify the song -- it's unlikely they'll make the effort if it's not something they like -- can effectively test just how catchy it really is.
The data is powerful enough to predict hits within even a few hours -- comparing Katy Perry's "Roar" and Lady Gaga's "Applause" (released at roughly the same time, with a similar amount of radio play) shows that Perry was far ahead in the number of Shazams "Roar" evoked from the start, and went on to be a much bigger hit. The increasing number of surprise releases also provokes people to pull out their phones as they try to figure out what's playing. Rihanna's "B---- Better Have My Money," for example, was Shazamed over 60,000 times in the first 24 hours after its release.
Another interesting variable is seeing exactly when people try to identify the song. Most pop hits get Shazamed within the first minute, demonstrating the importance of a solid hook -- for others, like O.T. Genasis' "CoCo," the most interesting parts are in the middle of the song ("Baking soda, I got baking soda"). Using that statistic (which part of a song is most Shazamed), Nicki Minaj has the best verse on Kanye West's "Monster" (which most of us knew already), with substantially more people trying to identify the track during her verse.

Well if that were the case, why did Clean Bandit barely peak at 10 on the Hot 100? It should have been a bigger hit. |

Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea's 'Pretty Girls' Headed for Top 40 Debut on Hot 100
News /By Keith Caulfield and Gary Trust | May 08, 2015 4:52 PM EDT
The pop pairing of Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea on "Pretty Girls" is off to a pretty good start.
The single, released on RCA Records, is heading for a top 40 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. (Highlights of the chart will post on Billboard.com on Wednesday, May 13, with the full chart to post the following day.) The track premiered May 4, after leaking a day earlier, and is off to a solid first week.
"Pretty Girls" already quickly shot to No. 1 on the real-time Billboard + Twitter Trending 140. Now, it looks primed to surge onto the Hot 100. Here are some numbers backing up the track's warm welcome.
100,000: "Pretty Girls" is on course to sell upward of 100,000 downloads in its first week (ending May 10), according to industry forecasters. Again, that's strong enough to propel the track onto the Hot 100, although such a sum would be off from the 174,000-download launch of Spears' last new single, "Work B**ch!," in 2013 (according to Nielsen Music).
Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea Stay Fancy on 'Pretty Girls': Single Review
11.2 million: The track drew nationwide hourly plays on pop-formatted iHeartMedia-owned radio stations on May 4, helping result in 1,100 plays at the format that day. That translates to a hefty 11.2 million in first-day audience. The cut should debut in the top 25 of the Pop Songs airplay chart to post Monday (May 11).
178 percent: Also foretelling the song's Hot 100 start, Spears' social metrics grew during the ramp-up to the release (and because she injured her foot during a concert performance on April 29). She tallied a 178 percent gain in Twitter mentions in the week ending May 4, according to Next Big Sound.
"Pretty Girls" would mark Spears' 33rd career Hot 100 hit, dating to her 1998 arrival, and Azalea's 10th, after launching last year with her seven-week No. 1 "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX). The latter song went on to reign as Billboard's No. 1 song of the summer of 2014.

Lots of songs show up before they make it to the charts. |

Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea's 'Pretty Girls' Headed for Top 40 Debut on Hot 100
Seriously, what happened to Britney's fanbase? She was huge some 5 years ago, and her lead singles were pretty much guaranteed to hit #1 due to massive first-week sales. And lately she's struggled to hit top 10. It seems like she's lost half (or maybe even two-thirds) her fanbase after Femme fatale. |

We have to be in the slowest turn over era for the H100 since the mid 90s days. Songs just can't seem to stay at the top less than 5 or 6 weeks right now. In fact, Shake It Off is the only song in the last year that has spent less than 5, with 4. When I Was Your Man was our last one weeker, a full two years ago. SYA would likely be another 10 weeker if not for the Bad Blood remix coming, which I think will dethrone it and start its own 5-7 week run. I feel like streaming could be a reason for the slow turn over rate. The songs that have hit #1 over the past year have all had extremely strong streaming numbers. But I mean high sales and high airplay definitely helped out too Yeah, streaming has shown us that people will hang on to a song forever. Why do people think "Bad Blood" has a big shot at #1? I know there's a remix of some kind to help it overcome the lack of sales "Style" for instance had, but historically radio/public has burned out on Taylor singles after 2-3 so I'm not convinced "BB" will have huge airplay. The remix will help sales, but not necessarily to a huge degree. |

felipe- fanbases for big acts become less rabid over time. So, that would be part of the reason.

Seriously, what happened to Britney's fanbase? She was huge some 5 years ago, and her lead singles were pretty much guaranteed to hit #1 due to massive first-week sales. And lately she's struggled to hit top 10. It seems like she's lost half (or maybe even two-thirds) her fanbase after Femme fatale. 5 years is a lot in terms of the music industry. Look at Mariah being huge in 1996 but tanking in 2001 (and then being huge in 2005 but not in 2010). Particularly when someone has a younger fan base, that fan base can erode as the fans(and artists) get older. You also have to consider that downloads in general are down from a few years ago. |

Yes, but that usually happens over a period of time when the act becomes less and less successful. Britney had a huge era with Femme Fatale, and suddenly everything after that seemed to have flopped/underperformed. Still, one could make a point that Mariah has lost her appeal to the general public, but that her core fanbase seems to still follow her. With Britney, it seems that even her fans (responsible for those front-loaded releases) have left her. |

So, in what way does that show Mariah's core fan base has stuck with her, while Britney's fan base has not stuck with her? |
