I think he meant with that song.. He has had a lot of success already.

As in himself as a whole? Or the new single? He had a successful single (here in Canada at least, I heard it on the radio all the time) a couple years ago, Wicked Games, but before that I hadn't heard of him. 

You forgot he had High For This in late 2011. I heard it on the radio almost as much as Wicked Games in 2013.

Ariana Grande making careers. Ha impact.


j/k Abel has been in the game for quite a while and I'm glad that his hard work has finally paid off. A lot of people write him off as typical PBR&B but of that crop of alt R&B singers that have come up lately, he really stands out to me at least.

You might have heard it in your area, but that song (from his first mixtape in 2011, which also featured "Wicked Games") didn't chart anywhere. His first real break into the mainstream world was "Wicked Games," his first single, in 2013. It's very possible one of the stations in your area likes to play stuff from upcoming artists, and that particular track may have caught on. That's actually fairly common.

True but there were several pop and rhythmic stations in my area, not just one, that were playing HFT (and quite a lot for a song that wasn't a top ten on CHR) so that's why I thought it was popular. They were playing it constantly tbh.

[Kris]

^ This is very true, I heard High for This almost hourly when it was released!

Speaking of Abel, is it likely that The Hills will debut in the top 20 this week?

Well that's a surprise - BB losing ground to SYA. It's kind of boring this week since we already know (OK, can reasonable guess barring an unforeseen even today) who's going to be #1.

Ask Billboard: Is Taylor Swift's '1989' the Next 'Teenage Dream'?

Ask Billboard

By Gary Trust | May 31, 2015 8:05 AM EDT

Could Swift's blockbuster be just the third album, following smashes by Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, to yield five Hot 100 No. 1s? Or ... more?

IS '1989' THE NEW 'TEENAGE DREAM'?

Dear Gary,

As Taylor Swift just scored her third Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, "Bad Blood," from her 11-week Billboard 200-topper 1989, it's got me wondering about the set's place historically. Specifically, could the album become the next Teenage Dream?



I guess it's clear what I mean, but if not I'll shortly explain: Katy Perry's 2010 album Teenage Dream famously produced five Hot 100 No. 1s, tying Michael Jackson's Bad for the most leaders from one album. To recap: Perry's "California Gurls" stayed on top for six weeks, followed by the title track (two), "Firework" (four), "E.T." (five) and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" (two). (The deluxe Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection contains another No. 1, "Part of Me," but since it's not on the original album, I know that it's not generally considered a sixth No. 1 from it.)

Back to Taylor: her "Shake It Off" spent four weeks at No. 1 and "Blank Space" led for seven, prior to "Blood." Could she lead (at least) two more times from 1989? Let's remember that it will likely take a long time until her next album will be released: she always waited two years in between releases: her first was in 2006 and since, she's offered new studio albums in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014. So, maybe October/November 2016 will bring her next one. In other words, she probably still has a long span in which to release singles from 1989. In my opinion, great picks for No. 1s from it could be "All You Had to Do Was Stay," "Out of the Woods," "New Romantics" or "Wonderland."

My question is: do you believe that 1989 has enough to offer to become the next Teenage Dream? Or, could it even become bigger and generate a record six Hot 100 No. 1s?

By the way: Kind of ironic that Taylor could pass Katy, who "Bad Blood" is rumoured to be about.

Thanks,

Hi Norman,

Not only is "Bad Blood" widely considered to be about Perry, but it also has "Bad" in its title, so those could be two signs that Swift is on her way to joining Perry and Jackson in vaunted chart history.



With Swift notching her third No. 1 on the Hot 100 from 1989, she now needs just two more from the album to tie the record for most leaders from a single set. But, as bright as Swift's star power is, the fact that only two albums in the Hot 100's 56-year history have yielded five No. 1s each shows how difficult the feat is. Plus, beyond Teenage Dream and Bad, only seven sets have housed four No. 1s apiece: the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977-78), Whitney Houston's Whitney (1987-88), George Michael's Faith (1987-88), Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl (1989-90), Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989-91), Mariah Carey's self-titled debut album (1990-91) and Usher's Confessions (2004).

So, that's nine albums in the last five-and-a-half decades that have contained four or more Hot 100 No. 1s each, an incredibly exclusive club. It's just so tough for an album to earn the honor, no matter how high its quality or commerciality. Most notably, it's hard to maintain fan excitement about a set months after its arrival, after so many fans have heard, bought or streamed its songs. "Style" was the third single from 1989 and, while it became the third No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, it stopped at No. 6 on the Hot 100. Even "Blood" benefited from the buzz of its high-profile video premiere to kick off the Billboard Music Awards (May 17).

And, even a smash hit can stop shy of the Hot 100's top spot. While Rhythm Nation 1814 turned out four leaders, for instance, two more – the title track and "Come Back to Me" – peaked at No. 2, narrowly denying the set a record six No. 1s.

Of course, since her arrival in 2006, Swift has been essentially unstoppable in her career, so if anyone can tie – or break – such a record, Swift would seem to be the safest bet to do so. As to what songs could be future 1989 No. 1s? I'd pick these five as having the most potential: "New Romantics," "How You Get the Girl," "I Wish You Would," "Wildest Dreams" and "This Love."

Those are Norman's and my choices. What are yours? Sound off in the comments section below, email [e-mail] or tweet @gthot20. "Bad Blood" has just begun its No. 1 run, so no next single from 1989 has yet been announced. But, in the meantime, it'll be fun to speculate if 1989 can tie or break history first set in 1988 (by Jackson) and 2011 (by Perry).

I'm more dismayed at SYA continuing to get almost 3M after being out so dam long and after it looked like it was finally slowing down. Uptown Funk's update today, on the other hand, was just a fluke so nothing for you to worry about.

[lyhom]

"see you again" has been out for, what, like two, three months? it really hasn't been that long lmao

[wjr15]

I think people are just getting tired of SYA. At least the people on Pulse are... haha

Yes but it has done enough damage during this "short" time (felt like an eternity to me tbh) so I am just about ready to move on. Also I am a fan of seeing my faves get many weeks at #1 but I am starting to miss the old quick turnover, like crystalphnx.

[Gary]

Some people must like it. Many probably see things a little differently than people see it here. It is heading for 7 weeks at #1. Not sure what damage it has done but this song is a hit that is not ready to roll over and die yet.

[Kris]

Idk about other people but I like SYA.

[Deleted]

I sure hope for Lean On to become a summer hit!

[Libra]

Those surprised at Uptown Funk going back up nearly a mill might be overlooking that most songs period went up today, even if just a little bit. Memorial Day weekend was last weekend... :)

I hope that impacted SYA as well and that it's not STILL pulling 3M+ After being out/growing for such a long time. 

[Kris]

Even if SYA is peaking on Pop it is still gaining on Urban, HAC, AC, and Rhythmic, I don't think it will have any competition until Bad Blood begins creeping up (I don't see Talking Body matching the success of Habits)

[Joe1240]

Maroon 5 could zoom up the charts this week with their latest single.The music video is being talked about on nearly every major entertainment site. Even if Bad Blood loses out on #1 this week,It will be back there soon. The song is far from over.
