Work, One Dance, and now God’s Plan .. all had a 36 week chart run.. very weird and they were number 1 for 9, 10, and 11 weeks

Edit: Hotline bling also had a 36 week chart run.. I’m shook

So basically drake lasts 9 months max on the charts. He needs to have a hit where it’s significant and has longer staying power like ed sheeran’s songs (shape of you, thinking out loud and perfect to be exact)

Easier said than done. Sheeran can float from pop to AOR which has a longer lifespan. Hip-hop has the pop chart endurance of a fruit fly.

Just a quick question, but what does your abbreviation of AOR stand for, Adult Oriented Radio? That abbreviation traditionally stands for Album Oriented Rock, but I don't think that's what you mean.

I did indeed mean Adult Oriented Radio. I guess I should use Adult Pop.

Yes, it'll be clearer for us.

There is a chart coincidence (mostly on the Hot 100) that tends to happen sometimes where a song's current position, last week position, peak, and weeks on chart number are the exact same.

Ed Sheeran's "Don't" did it, its stats were 17/17/17/17. He then did it again with "Photograph" which had 15/15/15/15. "Thinking Out Loud" also did it before... but with not the exact same numbers for all 4, but it did have similar numbers... 2/2/2/22. So basically, Ed Sheeran is the master at this, lol.

Demi Lovato's "Cool For The Summer" also did it with 11/11/11/11.

Oh, and gnash's "i hate u, i love u" (feat. olivia o'brien) almost did it this past week, but fell to #23 so it was 23/22/22/22.

(And those are just the past couple years. I'm sure there are more. I'm also sure there are some from the past couple years that I missed.)

Happened again this week with Imagine Dragons' "Natural" being 13/13/13/13.

Funny how both the longest and shortest songs to chart were both from the same year...
and peaked one place away from each other

This should be noted.

That 2 adjacent albums outside the top 5 should round off to the same 1,000 units of sales of each other is not so much coincidental as it is... normal.

Still doesn't happen very often, first time in the top ten this year I believe

Also from this week's Hot 100 we have two songs with a similar title: Girls Like You (#8) and Girl Like You (#99).

[rockgolf]

On last week's chart, the last 2 songs were names of movie stars with gender-neutral first names:

#99 Drew Barrymore
#100 Jackie Chan

On last week's AT40: The 80's from 1985, there were back-to-back debuts titled "That's What Friends Are For" and "You're A Friend Of Mine."

From Billboard's Chart Beat podcast:

Mariah's Shake It Off peaked #2 in 2005, and had it gone #1 she would've been the first female to replace themselves due to We Belong Together being #1 prior. However Kanye West's Gold Digger replaced We Belong Together.

In 2014, Taylor becomes the first female replace themselves at #1 due to her hit Shake It Off, being replaced by Blank Space.

Kanye helped Taylor get the record by blocking Mariah, and the record was with another 'Shake It Off'.

Last week Sirius XM replayed the AT40 from November 22, 1975, which included a song by Pete Wingfield (his only hit) called "Eighteen With a Bullet". Guess where it was on the chart?

"Might Be" and "Might Not" ended up side by side in the Hot 100 for a week last year.

My all-time favorite is the week Pete Wingfield's only hit "Eighteen with a Bullet" was #18 on the Hot 100.
With a bullet.

Has anyone pointed out that 3 different songs all called "Superman" peaked at #41? 

mkarns: I actually pointed this out last month!

Rolling in the Deep and Shape of You are the only 2 Hot 100 year-end #1s this decade by solo British artists, and the only 2 Hot 100 year-end #1s this decade that charted in the following year's year-end chart as well, not to mention at the exact same ranking (#71).

In the US Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100 YE, both #9 and #11 were occupied by "Nice For What" and "In My Feelings" by Drake within the 2 YE charts has their place swapped (US has IMF at #9 and NFW at #11, while Canada has NFW at #9 and IMF at #11) and those two has a song that is either a lead or feature by Cardi B at #10 (Girls Like You by Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B at #10 in the US, while I Like It by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin at #10 in the Canada)
