YES! Go JT! Best #1 hit of this year by a mile. Doesn't quite make up for Purple Rain getting blocked again, but it's a good start. I'm hoping it will stay up there for another week, though I guess it will depend on whether Drake's ever gonna drop that freaking video. Though I have a feeling that CSTF will probably stay up there for longer.

One Dance could certainly get more weeks on top, but Justin will swiftly close the airplay gap and, likely, leave Drake far behind. If One Dance doesn't get back to number one soon I have a feeling that it won't ever be getting back.

Sorry is only streaming on Tidal so there's that. But wasn't it also only streaming on Tidal since its release? I'm trying to figure out where the huge point loss compared to last week comes from. Decline in hype. Tidal is not that powerful of a streaming service when it comes to the charts. Beyoncé had a very unusually high number of streams for her new album when it first came out for a Tidal only release. That's evidenced in the fact that Kanye and Prince didn't have anywhere close to the same amount of streams. What I think it happening is the "newness" is wearing off. Everyone that wanted to check it out from the beginning has pretty much done so. So they've either pirated it, ripped the audio, or just didn't want it anymore and have since cancelled their Tidal subscriptions. It happened with Kanye too. Enough to get their fill and then throw Tidal in the garbage. |

"If we count only Timberlake's span between No. 1s as a lead act..." "After becoming his first Hot 100 No. 1 as a lead artist last week..." So Billboard yet again makes distinctions where lead credit's are concerned...except when it comes to Rihanna (nothing about lead/feature with her total of top 10s was noted). Is her label lining Billboard's pockets? |

So Billboard yet again makes distinctions where lead credit's are concerned...except when it comes to Rihanna (nothing about lead/feature with her total of top 10s was noted). Is her label lining Billboard's pockets? LOL. As was brought up last time you asked about this, Billboard makes the lead artist distinction or doesn't based on the perceived relevance to what they're discussing. I believe examples were even given where in past articles they'd made it for Rihanna based on the topic they were writing about. The Timberlake passage was talking about the longest time between an artist's visits to #1, and so they threw in extra info after giving the info about the span between his actual most recent two number-one hits. It was a bit of extra trivia about an interesting if not necessarily important chart feat, and it was clearly thought to be of secondary importance since it was only presented after the span of time between "Give It to Me" and "Can't Stop the Feeling!" Drake's is just a mention that it was his first number one as a lead artist. They're not discussing his rankings amongst number ones or comparing it to anyone or anything else, so I'm not even sure that the mention is comparable to the others. It's just there. Rihanna moved into third place for most top-ten hits. The article even mentions that her previous top ten is a song upon which she's featured, so it's not like they're trying to obscure the fact that her total includes collaborations and featured credits. I suppose they thought giving a breakdown of how many of the 29 were lead credits vs. featuring was not particularly relevant since the comparison is only the total number from each artist, and this particular record is not changed based on artist credits. |

Didn't realize it's been that long since JT had a #1 hit. Too bad Mirrors stalled at #2. Anyway, nice to see at #1!
Rihanna is doing so well this era

Cuz it doesn't make sense that the first and second single of his multi-platinum 2013 album were both blocked out and then a random generic movie track from him EASILY debuts atop. Whhhhhy?????? |

I certainly think it would have been relevant to either say "[insert number] of her top 28 10s are as a lead artist," or to point out that all of Michael's top 10s were as a lead artist. The "One Dance" quote I used was really random since "One Dance" went to #1 last week and it was mentioned then. So, it's like they went out of their way to reinforce the point this week when the song isn't even #1 anymore, yet didn't feel a need to mention it with Rihanna. |

Yes Rih!
Assuming she performs Needed Me Sunday, I'm sure it will go Top 5. That would also be the perfect time to send it to pop.

I wonder if any of the good songs in Bubbling Under debuted (Gold, Pity Party, Colors, etc)
And if You Don't Own Me or Fast Car will come back
Or maybe if MT's Me Too debuted?
Also hoping that Into You manages to stay until radio release and a vid comes.
So far it already has a stronger debut than Let Me Love You

I'm really surprised at how well Don't Let Me Down is doing. I thought it would definitely be top 40, but not this super huge pop hit! Do you think it's because of the drop? Or Daya's verses? Anyway of all the EDM hits it's still mystic how the ultra-hypnotizing You Know You Like It ends up peaking outside of top 10 I Know, I agree, it was very hypnotizing! The video was kind of funky though. |

Digital sales have fallen so much that it doesn't take as many sales to secure a Hot 100 #1 debut in 2016. Whereas in 2013, we had songs like Thrift Shop and Blurred Lines selling 300k for multiple weeks on end and nothing could get past them.

"Greatest Love Of All" wasn't even the first cover she released. That goes to "Saving All My Love For You", which was originally released by Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. Certainly! I just thought that maybe SAMLFY could be a one-off like many other artists' experiences with covers. With GLOA this was more of a signature element of her career. Celine and Mariah would follow this example to a lesser extent as well. Yeah, I was surprised to find out over the years that quite a few of Whitney's hits were covers. The list kind of goes on and on, from SAMLFY and Greatest Love to Where Do Broken Hearts Go to IWALY, I'm Every Woman, etc. Even How Will I Know was originally written for Janet Jackson, and The Bodygaurd, for which she is often given sole artist credit, actually only had three originally written songs for her (not necessarily saying this was wrong or an injustice, she did a lot with those covers and made them unique). This was very much the case with Celine as well (I wouldn't say Mariah as much), such as with If You Asked Me To, The Power of Love, When I Fall In Love, All By Myself... To put it in perspective though, almost none of these covers were major crossover hits, and neither artist wrote most of their own material, so either way they would most likely be singing songs written by others and that most people wouldn't have heard of before. |

I also don't think the originals were huge hits. So it's a little bit different. I never think of Whitney as a cover artist. |

Where did you hear that "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" was a remake? I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I could be wrong though. I am a HUGE Whitney Stan and possibly forgot... To add to your list "All The Man That I need" was a remake too. lol |

I never think of Whitney as a cover artist. Yes, that's what I stated in the last sentence of my post. I guess I must have been wrong about WDBHG. Maybe I got the impression she covered it when in one of the commentaries in her Greatest Hits DVD, she was discussing how originally when reviewing the song, she wasn't sure if she could connect with it and whether she wanted to do it, making it seem like maybe she had heard it before being sung by someone else...or maybe I got it mixed up with another song, as there were many others. |
