No.2 debut on Hot 100 Airplay, Erotica by Madonna.
Seriously, when was the last time we had a song debuted inside top 10 Hot 100 Airplay???

That Taylor Swift never hitting #1 prediction is bizarre

Another broken record now is Kelly Clarkson's 97-1, now bested by a jump of 2 more from 100-2. I really don't ever see that being beaten.

That anyone would predict that Taylor Swift would never have another #1 again is a really stupid prediction, but it’s especially bad because she was still in the 1989 era at the time. It was basically a given that whatever her next lead off single would be was going to be a #1 hit, and as Look What You Made Me Do proved, it didn’t even have to be a song that people liked for that to happen.

I’ll say one artist having 6 chart toppers in a calendar year. I doubt someone can produce that much dominance ever again...

Even the cases that "felt" close (Ariana with the top 3; Drake with 7 in the top 10) weren't really, because there were still other big hits that those artists couldn't possibly have beaten with five or more of their songs.

^The #1 song right now is less than 300 points. It is all about timing.
But i don't see an album bomb this big anytime soon. And the charts are this weak because big artists aren't releasing new music, why? - COVID-19. I hope we don't have any similar s**t in the future.
And the UGC changes don't affect this bomb because this is purely relying on On-Demand Audio Streams.

I wonder when we'll see a #1 fall from the top spot out of the top 10. It hasn't happened in over 40 years. Prince would likely have done it with Purple Rain if news of his death had come on the Friday, but that's a special case. Also, connected to that is a song that spends its sole week in the top 10 at #1. You would think that Idol songs have done this, but each one has spent at least two weeks in the top 10 (I Believe and Do I Make You Proud were in the top 10 for two weeks). I Believe also failed to make the year-end top 100, uncommon among #1s. This didnt age well

“Unbeatable records” mentioned in this thread that have since been beaten as of October 20, 2020: 9. First single hitting number one after the second one. I'm talking about "Only Girl" and "What's My Name". (Nov 20, 2016) [/b] The Weeknd did it with The Hills and Can’t Feel My Face in 2015. Released in that order, went number one in the opposite order. 10. A song topping Digital Songs and failing to appear on the Hot 100. (Nov 28, 2016)Apr 4, 2020 – Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler was number one on the digital song sales, didn’t re-enter the charts. Apr 18, 2020 – Lean on Me by Bill Withers did the same. Jul 18, 2020 – Lee Grenwood’s God Bless the USA did the same. [/quote] So, #9 hasn't actually happened since 2016, or am I missing something? Also, the #10 is a bit misleading as old tracks must be top 50 in points before re-entering the Hot 100. EDIT: I don't understand what's wrong with the quoting but anyway.

The original post referenced songs before 2016, so I assumed they were presuming that it hadn't been beaten at all. As for number 10, sure, but it still counts.

“Unbeatable records” mentioned in this thread that have since been beaten as of October 20, 2020: 1. Chart runs that are well over 52 weeks, unless the rule is modified (Aug 9, 2016)I suppose it depends on the definition of “well over” but Post Malone’s Circles is at 58 weeks (probably 59 once today’s charts come out) and is still in the top 40. So I’d count it. 2. No artist originating from Active Rock will ever reach the top 40 again. (Aug 10, 2016)Take What You Want by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott hit number 8 in 2019. 3. No Korean artist will ever return to the top 40. (Aug 10, 2016)Well, BTS exists, so…yeah this one’s definitely broken. 4. The One Sweet Day record will never be broken. (Aug 10, 2016)Old Town Road beat it in 2019. 5. A drop off the Hot 100 larger than from #9 (Aug 10, 2016)Prince did it with his two recurring hits before this post. But also, it’s since been done by several holiday songs as well: All I Want for Christmas Is You (from 1), Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (2), Jingle Bell Rock (3), Holly Jolly Christmas (4), and It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (7). 6. A Christmas song charting number 1 on the Hot 100 (Aug 10, 2016)All I Want for Christmas is You hit number one in 2019. 7. Taylor Swift will never have another number one as a lead artist. (Aug 12, 2016)Look What You Made Me Do hit number one in 2017. Cardigan also did in 2020. 8. What about an artist having 3 songs in top 20 year end? (Aug 12, 2016)Drake and Post Malone did in 2018. Khalid also did in 2019. 9. First single hitting number one after the second one. I'm talking about "Only Girl" and "What's My Name". (Nov 20, 2016)The Weeknd did it with The Hills and Can’t Feel My Face in 2015. Released in that order, went number one in the opposite order. 10. A song topping Digital Songs and failing to appear on the Hot 100. (Nov 28, 2016)Apr 4, 2020 – Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler was number one on the digital song sales, didn’t re-enter the charts. Apr 18, 2020 – Lean on Me by Bill Withers did the same. Jul 18, 2020 – Lee Grenwood’s God Bless the USA did the same. Hello there, guy with a YouTube channel that has over 350,000 subscribers.

A song can survive the 25/52 rule. Uptown Funk! I come from the future to prove you wrong. Circles by Post Malone and Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi have done the feat. I thought that won’t happen anytime soon. Right now even Radioactive’s 87-weeks record could be broken.
