Billboard Hot 100: 12/03/2016 (Black Beatles 2nd Week At #1)

[Harx]

It would be cool if This Town rebounded, especially that it's still rising on airplay.

[Chris Ng]

Ari and Nicki just tweeted about Side to side being #5 record in the US. Did they refer to Hot 100 chart?

They were likely taking a page out of DJ Khaled's book...Side To Side is the #5 song at pop radio.

It's also #5 on Digital Songs.

But, yeah, it's #4 on the Hot 100.

What was the streaming peak for "Gentleman" by Psy? I remember that it got Top 5 by pretty much streams alone.

On the week that Gentleman went up 12-5 on the Hot 100, it had 13.9M streams that week. And according to the streaming chart, it gained that week, but then fell the next week. So it's streaming peak was 13.9M.

Rae Sremmurd's 'Black Beatles' Tops Hot 100 for Second Week

The track, featuring Gucci Mane, gains in sales and streams, helped again by the Mannequin Challenge. Plus, Ariana Grande's "Side to Side," featuring Nicki Minaj, hits the top five.

Rae Sremmurd rules the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 3) for a second week with "Black Beatles," featuring Gucci Mane. Meanwhile, Ariana Grande ascends to the top five with "Side to Side," featuring Nicki Minaj.

As we do every Monday when the chart is compiled, let's run through the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. Highlights of the Hot 100 post on Billboard.com each Monday, with all charts updated each Tuesday.

"Beatles," released on Eardrummer/Interscope Records, continues atop the Hot 100 with another major assist from its use in viral Mannequin Challenge videos. The phenomenon appears to have begun in an Oct. 26 tweet showing students at Jacksonville, Florida's Edward H. White High School in mannequin poses; while that clip didn't feature music, "Beatles" has found synchs in a mass of subsequent videos.

"Beatles," the first Hot 100 topper for the brother duo of Khalif "Swae Lee" and Aaquil "Slim Jxmmi" Brown (and likewise the first leader for Gucci Mane), is the top-selling and most-streamed song of the week for a second week and is the top gainer in streaming and airplay. It leads the Digital Song Sales chart with a 7 percent gain to 154,000 downloads sold in the week ending Nov. 17, according to Nielsen Music, and rules Streaming Songs with 54.1 million U.S. streams, up 25 percent. Of its streams for the week, 28.4 million were from YouTube clicks and 15.4 million from Spotify. The track also tops Billboard's audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart with 25.3 million on-demand streams, up 13 percent.

Another way to gauge the high streaming sum for "Beatles"? Its 54.1 million U.S. streams for the week mark the most for any song since Adele's "Hello" logged 61.6 million upon its debut on the Streaming Songs chart dated Nov. 14, 2015. (No title had cracked 50 million since then until "Beatles" this week.)

"Beatles" is also quickly adding airplay, as it jumps 44-28 on Radio Songs (41 million in audience, up 63 percent). It rockets 10-1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, the biggest vault to the top in the chart's history (24 million in format audience, up 39 percent), and enters the Pop Songs airplay chart at No. 35.

"Beatles" also leads Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and Hot Rap Songs for a second week each.

The Chainsmokers' "Closer" ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a second week, after 12 weeks at No. 1, the longest reign of 2016. It keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (26.2 million, down 4 percent) and rebounds 4-3 on Digital Song Sales (58,000 downloads sold, essentially even from last week). Still, it rules Radio Songs for an eighth week (147 million, down 2 percent); that's the longest No. 1 run on Radio Songs for a duo or group since Maroon 5's "One More Night" also led for eight weeks in 2012. No duo or group has ruled Radio Songs longer since OutKast's "Hey Ya!" spent nine weeks on top in 2003-04.

"Closer" paces Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 14th week, and becomes The Chainsmokers' and Halsey's first No. 1 each on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart (2-1); it leads Pop Songs for a ninth week, the chart's longest command since Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, dominated for 10 weeks in 2013.

The Weeknd's "Starboy," featuring Daft Punk, is steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after five weeks at its No. 2 peak. The track is the top gainer in sales, rising 3-2 on Digital Song Sales (84,000, up 34 percent), helped by 69-cent iTunes sale-pricing during the tracking week (it's now back up to $1.29). It holds at No. 2 on Radio Songs (127 million, even week-over-week) and lifts 4-3 on Streaming Songs (24.8 million, up 6 percent). The song is the title cut from The Weeknd's new album, due Friday (Nov. 25).

Grande's "Side to Side," featuring Minaj, surges into the Hot 100's top five (7-4). It pushes 7-5 on Digital Song Sales (51,000, up 10 percent) and holds at No. 6 on Streaming Songs (16.8 million, up 5 percent; and roars 8-6 on Radio Songs (97 million, up 18 percent). Grande, the newly crowned artist of the year at the American Music Awards (AMAs) last night (Nov. 20), earns her first Hot 100 top five from her album Dangerous Woman; the title cut lead single hit No. 8 and follow-up "Into You" reached No. 13. Grande and Minaj's last time in the top five? Also together: two years ago (Nov. 22, 2014) on their prior collab, the No. 3-peaking "Bang Bang," also with Jessie J.

(Looking ahead, songs performed at the AMAs, including "Side by Side" and "Closer," are likely to see sales gains on next week's charts, dated Dec. 10, reflecting the tracking week ending Nov. 24.)

Twenty One Pilots' "Heathens" slips 4-5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, and rules Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart for a 15th week; Bruno Mars' No. 5-peaking "24K Magic" is stationary at No. 6 (with his album of the same name having arrived Friday, Nov. 18, and due on next week's album charts); and DJ Snake's "Let Me Love You" featuring Justin Bieber(another song performed, by Bieber, on the AMAs) drops 5-7 after reaching No. 4.

Rounding out the Hot 100's 10, three songs hold in place: Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall's "Juju on That Beat (TZ Anthem)," at No. 8, its peak; D.R.A.M.'s No. 5-peaking "Broccoli," featuring Lil Yachty (No. 9); and Maroon 5's "Don't Wanna Know," featuring Kendrick Lamar (No. 10), a live version of which closed the AMAs.

Just beyond the Hot 100's top 10, notable moves include Amine advancing to a new high with "Caroline" (18-13); Hailee Steinfeld and Grey's "Starving," featuring Zedd, returning to its No. 14 peak (from No. 19); and Alessia Cara scoring her second top 20 hit with "Scars to Your Beautiful" (22-17). Cara's debut track "Here" hit No. 5 on the Hot 100 in February.

(Also notably, this week's Hot 100 and all charts, dated Dec. 3, mark the first lists of Billboard's 2017 chart year. Billboard's 2016 chart year, covering activity on rankings dated Dec. 5, 2015, through Nov. 26, 2016, will be recapped in our annual year-end charts menu, set to be unveiled the week of Dec. 5 on Billboard's platforms, and in the 2016 year-end issue of Billboard magazine.)

How did Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley chart? I mean I'm glad they did, but don't older songs have to be top 50 to appear? That's why Bowie lost out on getting "Heroes" on the Hot 100 for the first time and Prince likely lost out on "Darling Nikki" appearing. "Thriller" should have appeared this year then too, as it hasn't hit 20 weeks on the Hot 100 yet. Billboard just does whatever they feel like anymore.

[rimetm]

There is some consistency. If it's an ancient re-entry, it has to clear recurrency. However, if it's new to the chart, the top entry, if there are multiple, can enter wherever along with any others clearing recurrency. This happened last year with NWA, as Straight Outta Compton and Boyz in the Hood (credited to Eazy-E) had one week in the top 40 and No. 50 respectively and one below the top half but lower entry Fight the Power would've been in the 55-60 range but was barred.

[lyhom]

honestly I have to wonder if this year billboard quietly added a rule that old songs could chart if they've never been on the hot 100 before

like it would probably explain why "walking on a dream" charted

Exactly. It does not matter if the song is old or not, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen never appeared on the Hot 100 chart to begin with, so eligibility for entry is more than called for as it is not a re-entry. Also streams play a big factor here (and to get up to #59, it streams must be wow!). Remember that Bowie and Prince do not have their catalogue on streaming services, unlike Cohen which has "Hallelujah" having a major spike on its official YouTube vid. And Thriller might have missed out on the same platform this year to explain its absence as a re-entry.

Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' Hits Hot 100 for First Time
www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7581659/leonard-cohen-hallelujah-hot-100-first-time

Cohen's original 1984 version of the classic debuts at last at No. 59 following his passing.

As previously reported, Rae Sremmurd tops the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Dec. 3) for a second week with "Black Beatles," featuring Gucci Mane. Meanwhile, a legendary recording graces the Hot 100 for the first time, as Leonard Cohen's original version of "Hallelujah" debuts at No. 59.

The song starts thanks to a fairly even split of streaming and sales chart points, as it enters the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 12 with 33,000 downloads sold in the week ending Nov. 17 (up 1,177 percent), according to Nielsen Music. It also drew 3.8 million U.S. streams in that period, a 279 percent increase.

Cohen died Nov. 7 and his death was announced late Thursday, Nov. 10. Thus, gains for "Hallelujah" on the latest charts reflect a full week of consumption (Nov. 11-17) following the news of his passing.

Cohen originally released "Hallelujah" on his 1984 album Various Positions, but -- incredibly, given the song's enduring appeal -- his version, until this week, had spent a mere one week on a Billboard survey (it charted at No. 7 on the mostly physical sales-based Hot Singles Sales chart dated Dec. 8, 2012).

Jeff Buckley's 1994 cover of "Hallelujah" has since become beloved, although it, too, wasn't a chart hit at the time and has yet to hit the Hot 100; it debuts on the Hot 100's Bubbling Under chart (dated Dec. 3) at No. 7, as it re-enters Digital Song Sales at No. 29 (18,000 sold, up 698 percent) and its streams soar by 205 percent to 1.7 million.

Any version of "Hallelujah" first hit the Hot 100 in 2010, when Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris' take, featuring Charlie Sexton, reached No. 13 that February. They had performed the song on MTV's Hope for Haiti Now telethon following the country's devastating earthquake. American Idol's Lee DeWyze and The Voice's Matthew Schuler took "Hallelujah" to Nos. 44 and 40 on the Hot 100 in 2010 and 2013, respectively. In December 2015, Jordan Smith of The Voice sent his version to No. 61, while Lindsey Stirling's mostly instrumental cover reached No. 81 this past January.

On the Nov. 12 Hot 100 (three weeks ago), Pentatonix's a cappella cover brought "Hallelujah" to the Hot 100's top 40 for a third time (following the Timberlake/Morris/Sexton and Schuler versions). On the latest Hot 100, it ranks slightly higher than Cohen's version, bounding 81-56. The act's cover climbs 27-19 on Digital Song Sales (27,000, up 29 percent) and surges by 59 percent to 4.6 million U.S. streams.

When reading this article, I couldn't help but notice how much times have changed, even in just three years. It mentions Gentleman's sales # was 72,000, ranking at #20 on the sales chart (didn't Closer sell around that much a couple weeks ago, ranking at No. 1!), and Just Give Me A Reason had 4.7 million streams but was at No. 6 on streaming, now it would be at like no. 20 or even below that!

I think #25 on the streams chart gets like around 9M or 10M streams, so 4.7M wouldn't get it anywhere close.

[Golden Bluebird]

Apparently, Billboard made a mistake earlier concerning the positions of "Caroline" and "Starving". The official Hot 100 chart for this week listed both of these songs at #12 and #15 respectively.

After relistening to both versions of hallelujah, i think i fucked up here, the original is waaaaay better.
