Billboard Hot 100: 02/11/2017

[rimetm]

My current estimates:
Bad and Boujee: ~46,487 points (=)
Shape of You: ~42,155 points (=)
Closer: ~27,151 points (+1)
Bad Things: ~26,862 points (+2)
Starboy: ~26,401 points (=)

Black Beatles: ~25,450 points (-3 or -4, depending on IDWLF)

Rats, Bad and Boujee is holding *really* strong on streaming, but Shape of You is beginning to catch up. Bad Things should threaten the top 5, and the bottom finally falls out on Black Beatles which took an especially nasty hit on YouTube.

Nobody wants to guess how many Migos songs will debut next week?

I never understood why people like when one artist has so many debuts from one album, and usually those songs all drop off the next week. If more than 3 songss are selling that well all points should be shifted to album sales. It's horrible to own a billboard book that shows an artist with 50 hits and 40 of those all spent 1 week. Glee is the most irritating.

Because it makes the charts interesting. I'm so glad we have chart EVENTS. It's a very exciting time to be a chart geek. And I'm also so glad that the only thing that currently separates the Hot 100 from a list of the 100 most popular songs of the week is the recurrent rules (wish those were gone too though). 

And no, it shouldn't be "shifted to album sales". The charts are supposed to be a reflection of fact, not just for the purpose of trivia stats. Yes, artists like Taylor Swift or Drake are going to have a lot of songs that spend only one week on the charts. And yes, the music industry worked differently before iTunes, so many legends of previous eras aren't going to have album cuts that spend a week on the chart. 

If it annoys you to see Glee's name above Drake's, just stop being so lazy. Put in the effort to find or create a better system. Tons of people have inverse point systems or weighted inverse point systems. If you used a direct inv. pnt. system, Elvis Presley is still the biggest of all time (RiRi will pass him soon though). Whereas Glee Cast isn't even the Top 50 of this decade. Why the hell would the number of charting songs somebody have directly correlate with how big of an artist they are anyway?

It's like hearing that Alaska is the biggest state in the U.S. and saying "WHAT? How can Alaska be the biggest state when it barely has any people in it. I demand they start counting Alaska as part of Canada, because I hate owning a book on US Geography and seeing Alaska on a list above California and Texas!!!"

Glee Cast has the highest number of songs that were able to pass the specific threshold required to enter the Hot 100. It's just a fact. A useful fact to many chart nerds who want to make their own lists. But that fact alone isn't meant to mean anything more than that.

Bad Things is the song that will get Black Beatles or Starboy out of the Top 5. I hate you, BT! As time goes by, I start to miss the weeks that Closer, Starboy and Black Beatles dominated the Hot 100.

well technically Closer is still dominating

I know it's early, but Zayne and Swift are definitely gonna be #1 on the 02/18 chart. The song was discounted and it has two music videos with large views; Combined with good airplay and decent sales.

Boujee and Shape Of You are also doing very well, so the next few weeks are gonna be a battle between the three songs.

The "Shape Of You" music video is coming tonight which will give the song extra streaming points and more sales. I'm pretty sure the battle for #1 is going to be between Migos and Ed.

Being a chart nerd for 30 years, it's More exciting to me to see numerous artists have hits rather than a few artists dominate the charts. I preferred the charts when it was based on actual songs released as singles rather than any album track charting and forgotten about a week later. Just my opinion.

then you see its spotify, lower than a song barely in the top 10 though. I see top 3 next week but number 1 seems a bit unlikely.

Hm. I am a bit weary about my prediction now that I've seen the estimates for both Shape of You and Boujee. The latter two songs will be a tizzy next week, but maybe Zayn and Swift can gain a lot as well. It'll definitely be a fight for the top.

Don't wanna know has the weirdest chart life. Somehow peaking at 7. And 1 more week until it ties One More Night for their longest radio number one with 8 weeks.

[YotamTS]

damn IDWLF and BT up to top 5

[Deleted]

Welp Scars now leaves the club of songs that failed to be Top 10 on Hot 100 but were #1 on Pop
The only 3 members I think are: Jessica Simpson - With You, Jojo(Queeeeeeeen)- Leave (Get Out), & Demi Lovato - Give Your Heart A Break

IMO, an amazing 3 member club since I love all 3 of those songs a lot

[Leo ✔]

Yes Black Beatles falls!! Now we need Bad and Boujee to dissapear..

If it'll pass one more night it would be pretty crazy considering the fact that one more is in the all time hot 100 and dwk peaked at #7

[areyoureadytojump]

Ugh at Closer moving back into the Top 3.

[jayhawk1117]

Wow 26 weeks and still top 3 for Closer. Literally a Legendary single. Half a year in the top 10. Also Paris is definitely gonna keep the streak for The Chainsmokers.

[Harx]

Closer will be in top 10 until summer... Jesus...

Congrats to Alessia Cara for having second top 10 hit, but that song feels so old now. It feels like it has been around in the top 20 for a very long time.

Here's to hoping that Paris doesn't end up doing just that
Mainly since I find it soooo much weaker then there Roses, DLMD, Closer, hell even #SELFIE(mild guilty pleasure)
Same with All We Know, Setting Fires is better but didn't get pushed smh

[jayhawk1117]

Top 3 next week is almost 100%
1. Bad and Boujee
2. Shape of You
3. I Don't Wanna Live Forever

Maybe there is still some hope??? I mean recent airplay updates are tragic but maybe this will at least survive long enough to make the year end list?
