Billboard Hot 100: 02/18/2017

^ I'm confused. I thought he was just asking about song preference.

[rimetm]

Formula's obviously still a bit confusing at the moment, but if I've got it right...

Shape of You: ~48,982 points
IDWLF: ~44,069 points
Bad and Boujee: ~43,223 points

...gotta be honest, I don't really see B&B going down to #3, but if the formula holds, I suppose it's possible. In any case, it's worth noting Shape of You definitely is above IDWLF: The latter only has about 15% more sales, and has a deficit of about 2 million YT streams, 3 million Spotify streams, and 35 million radio audience.

Are you counting the Behind The Scenes videos released (all which feature the song for over 1 minute) and Taylor's reaction to hearing it on the radio (almost a minute long too) AND Zayn's acoustic video?

[rimetm]

Acoustic videos don't count. As for what I counted, I count what YouTube counts for insights which is the data they also send to Nielsen to my knowledge, which said the song accrued about 10 million streams to around 12 for Shape of You.

Idk how good Gaga is gonna do after the super bowl but what I do know is that Down will 100% be number 1 on iTunes by a large margin.

Ask Billboard: How Historic Is The Chainsmokers' 'Closer'?

The smash continues to mark milestones of chart longevity.

Hi Gary,

The Chainsmokers' "Closer," featuring Halsey, has now tied Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, for the longest run in the Billboard Hot 100's top three: 21 weeks.

It's also moved up to second for the most weeks – 24 – in the Hot 100's top five.

And, with 26 weeks in the top 10, it's now one of only seven singles ever to have spent that much time in the region.

Amazingly, six months in, it's still No. 3 …

Thanks,
Brian C. Cole

Hi Brian,

When it comes to "Closer," it ain't ever getting older. Well, actually it is. It's just aging incredibly gracefully.

Let's look at some of the song's levels of longevity.

First, as previously reported, "Closer" is the first song in the Hot 100's 58-year history to spend its first six months (26 weeks) on the Hot 100 in the top 10. It debuted at No. 9 on Aug. 20. It rose to No. 6 in its second week and began its 12-week reign, the longest of 2016, on Sept. 3. It's yet to leave the top five since, 24 weeks and counting (through the chart dated Feb. 11).

(As for its 12-week rule, it's one of only 17 singles to lead for at least that long. It's second among Columbia Records releases, trailing only the song to tally the most weeks, 16, overall at No. 1: Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day.")

Revisiting and delving deeper into some of the stats above, "Closer" is tied for the most weeks in the Hot 100's top three. Here are the top such performers:

21 weeks in the top three, "Closer," The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, peak year: 2016
21, "Uptown Funk!," Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, 2015
19, "Smooth," Santana feat. Rob Thomas, 1999
18, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, 2005
18, "Un-Break My Heart," Toni Braxton, 1996
17, "All About That Bass," Meghan Trainor, 2014
16, "One Dance," Drake feat. WizKid and Kyla, 2016
16, "I Gotta Feeling," The Black Eyed Peas, 2009
16, "Dilemma," Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland, 2002
16, "How You Remind Me," Nickelback, 2001
16, "One Sweet Day," Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, 1995
16, "The Sign," Ace of Base, 1994
16, "I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston, 1992

Oh look … The Chansmokers just made a mash-up of two of the songs (all No. 1s) on the list above: "Closer" and Nickelback's "How You Remind Me."

As for most weeks in the Hot 100's top five, we'll find out tomorrow, when highlights of the Feb. 18-dated Hot 100 are revealed, if "Closer" can tie for most weeks in the bracket. At 24 weeks, it's one away from matching Ronson's "Uptown Funk!" and "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes – who released her new album, Remnants, Friday (Feb. 3) and performed on Billboard's Facebook Live the day before.

Here are the singles to spend the most time in the Hot 100's top five:

25 weeks in the top five, "Uptown Funk!," Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, 2015
25, "How Do I Live," LeAnn Rimes, 1997
24, "Closer," The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, 2016
23, "The Twist," Chubby Checker, 1960
21, "Smooth," Santana feat. Rob Thomas, 1999
21, "Un-Break My Heart," Toni Braxton, 1996
20, "Somebody That I Used to Know," Gotye feat. Kimbra, 2012
20, "No One," Alicia Keys, 2007
20, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, 2005
20, "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)," Los Del Rio, 1996
20, "Gangsta's Paradise," Coolio feat. L.V., 1995

And, the singles with the most weeks in the Hot 100's top 10? In seven weeks, we could have a new title-holder:

32 weeks in the top 10, "How Do I Live," LeAnn Rimes, 1997
31, "Uptown Funk!," Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, 2015
30, "Smooth," Santana feat. Rob Thomas, 1999
29, "Party Rock Anthem," LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, 2011
28, "Foolish Games"/"You Were Meant for Me," Jewel, 1997
26, "Closer," The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, 2016
26, "Truly Madly Deeply," Savage Garden, 1998
25, "Trap Queen," Fetty Wap, 2015
25, "All About That Bass," Meghan Trainor, 2014
25, "Counting Stars," OneRepublic, 2014
25, "Apologize," Timbaland feat. OneRepublic, 2007
25, "Un-Break My Heart," Toni Braxton, 1996
25, "The Twist," Chubby Checker, 1960

The second and third lists above are especially impressive, as they include the Hot 100's all-time No. 1, Chubby Checker's "The Twist" (the only song to reign in two separate cycles, in 1960 and again in 1962).

So, each week we keep getting answers as to how historic a hit "Closer" has become, and is still becoming. Meanwhile, it so far has ranked higher than its follow-up, "Paris," which is off to a good start of its own, having debuted at No. 7 on the Hot 100 two weeks ago.

One of the only things we haven't yet learned about "Closer"? Down a stolen mattress, how's that poor roommate sleeping back in Boulder?

Maybe. We don't even know if that commercial will air during the Super Bowl. Nor do we know what else will be aired. For all we know, we could have another We Are Young coming.

Gaga also has discounts. If she wows, Million Reasons could shoot to number one, as it did when it was discounted with her carpool karaoke performance. Or with anything else she winds up performing. Wouldn't be the first time a performance of an old song sent it to number one.

Edit: Hell, Million Reasons is already #11! The hype for her performance is strong. She could easily break viewing records!

[rimetm]

Oh yeah, there are a bunch of sales right now on Gaga's stuff (gee, it's almost like they know this is the best shot at getting some chart achievements), so be on the lookout for any of these to re-enter or enter in one case depending on how the show does and what gets attention:

From Joanne
A-Yo
John Wayne
Million Reasons
Perfect Illusion
From Artpop
Applause
From Born This Way
Born This Way
The Edge of Glory
Marry the Night
You and I
From The Fame Monster
Bad Romance
Telephone
From The Fame
Just Dance
Paparazzi
Poker Fce

I don't see how Apple would miss an opportunity like this. It's played at the last games and got to 3 and those get maybe half as many views as the super bowl. And I didn't see that Gaga discounted so many songs, they're pushing hard

It costs millions upon millions of dollars to air something during the Super Bowl. A 30 second ad this year costs $5.02 million. Apple could easily back out of that and just do the individual games, which are exponentially cheaper.

Super Bowl commercials also tend to be something brand new. Very few commercials from the season are shown during the Super Bowl. Don't forget last year Pizza Hut (or Domino's?) had My House in their commercials, which aired during the games, sending the song to #1 on iTunes. It wasn't aired during the Super Bowl.

Millions Reasons should do good if performed

It was. Along with Poker Face, Born This Way, Just Dance, Bad Romance, and Telephone. (ARTPOP was paid dust.) The Edge of Glory was also kind of there for two seconds.

Million Reasons is already #3 on iTunes as well as #43 and #391. Poker Face, Born This Way, Bad Romance, Just Dance, Perfect Illusion, The Edge of Glory, Paparazzi, and Telephone are all top 100 on iTunes now.

Spotify also now has a playlist on the main page of select music from her discography.

Edit: Welp, MR is #1 and BTW is just under the top ten. Didn't take long!

[forg]

^ The Spotify specialized playlist promoted on the main page is good for her, maybe she can finally gain traction there

[jayhawk1117]

Now let's see if 1. Streaming holds up and 2. Airplay actually gains. If so then Million Reasons may be a hit

[kcdawg13]

Million Reasons. First good song from Gaga since Edge of Glory. It better be a hit!

I Feel It Coming at 16

[jayhawk1117]

So there we go, Don't Wanna Know is the longest reigning number on Radio for Maroon 5....somehow.

And it's happened, Closer has 25 weeks in the top 5, legendary. Only 5 more weeks to tie the all time record, I think it's gonna happen.

Ed Sheeran Returns to Top of Hot 100, Zayn & Taylor Swift Surge to No. 3

"Shape of You" rebounds for a second week at No. 1, while "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" jumps 5-3.

Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 for a second total week atop the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 18). Meanwhile, Zayn and Taylor Swift rise 5-3 with "I Don't Wanna Love Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)," with both songs benefiting from newly released official videos.

As we do every Monday, let's run down the top 10 of the Hot 100, which blends sales, airplay and streaming data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 7.

In its fourth week on the Hot 100, Sheeran's "Shape of You" returns to No. 1; it had spent the past two weeks at No. 2 following its bow at No. 1 on the Jan. 28-dated chart. With its official video having premiered Jan. 30, the song gains by 19 percent to 31.7 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 2, according to Nielsen Music, and holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It increases by 11 percent to 115,000 downloads sold, although it dips to No. 2 after logging its first three weeks on Digital Song Sales at No. 1. On Radio Songs, "Shape" pushes 5-3 (116 million in audience, up 24 percent), good for the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a third straight week.

Notably, as it ranks at Nos. 2, 2 and 3 on Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales and Radio Songs, respectively, "Shape" is the first song to top the Hot 100 but not rank at No. 1 on any of those component charts in more than six months, since Sia's "Cheap Thrills," featuring Sean Paul, led the Hot 100 but not any of those tallies on Aug. 13, 2016.

"Shape" previews Sheeran's third studio album ÷, due March 3.

Migos' "Bad and Boujee," featuring Lil Uzi Vert, drops to No. 2 on the Hot 100 after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1, fueled in part by memes and tweets playing off the song's "raindrop, drop top" lyrics. Still, the track tops the Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week with 50 million U.S. streams (up 8 percent), its greatest weekly total yet. It also leads the audio subscription services-based On-Demand Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week (23.1 million on-demand clicks, up 17 percent).

"Boujee" slides 3-5 on Digital Song Sales (43,000 downloads sold, down 16 percent) but bounds 23-16 on Radio Songs, gaining by 19 percent to 59 million in airplay audience. It additionally rules Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a fifth week each.

As previously reported, Migos' second full-length, Culture (featuring the track), arrives as the hip-hop trio's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Top R&B Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums.

Zayn and Taylor Swift's "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" climbs 5-3 on the Hot 100, a new high for the song in its eighth week on the chart. Following a full week of tracking after the Jan. 26 premiere of its official video, it claims the Hot 100's top Digital and Streaming Gainer trophies, jumping 2-1 for a second week atop Digital Song Sales (137,000, up 124 percent, aided by a 69-cent sale-price in the iTunes Store) and 12-3 on Streaming Songs (25.7 million, up 58 percent). On Radio Songs, "Forever" flies 11-7 (89 million, up 15 percent), becoming Swift's 12th Radio Songs top 10 and Zayn's second.

"Forever" is the lead single from the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, with both the album and the movie arriving Friday (Feb. 10). Notably, as the song reaches No. 3, it ties for the highest-charting hit from the Fifty Shades franchise. 2015's Fifty Shades of Grey yielded the No. 3-peaking Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" and The Weeknd's "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)."

Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello's "Bad Things" holds at its No. 4 high on the Hot 100. It backtracks 3-4 on Radio Songs but with a 2 percent gain to 111 million; keeps at No. 4 on Digital Song Sales (43,000, up 3 percent); and descends 11-12 on Streaming Songs, although its total of 16.7 million is essentially even from the prior week. As previously reported, the track tops the Pop Songs airplay chart (2-1), marking Kelly's first No. 1 on the chart and Cabello's first as a soloist; before leaving Fifth Harmony, she led the list as a member of 5H with "Work From Home" (featuring Ty Dolla $ign) last June.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, The Chainsmokers' "Closer," featuring Halsey, retreats 3-5, after spending 12 weeks at No. 1. It extends its record for the most weeks logged in the top 10 from a song's debut, having totaled all 27 of its weeks on the chart in the top 10 since its bow at No. 9 on Aug. 20. Meanwhile, with a 25th week in the top five, "Closer" ties two singles for the most top-five weeks in the chart's 58-year history: Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars (2015) and LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" (1997-98).

"Closer" also tops the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 25th week, pulling within one of the record for the most weeks at No. 1 since the chart launched in January 2013: Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" reigned for 26 weeks in 2013-14.

Maroon 5's "Don't Wanna Know," featuring Kendrick Lamar, reaches a new Hot 100 highpoint, lifting 7-6, while ruling Radio Songs for an eighth week (129 million, down 5 percent). The band ties its longest Radio Songs rule: its "One More Night" led for eight weeks in 2012.

The Weeknd's "Starboy" rebounds 8-7 on the Hot 100 after its one week at No. 1, while leading Hot R&B Songs for a 19th week; Drake's "Fake Love" climbs to a new best rank on the Hot 100 (9-8); Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beatles," featuring Gucci Mane, slides 6-9, following its seven-week command; and Alessia Cara's "Scars to Your Beautiful" remains at its No. 10 peak so far. Cara's song could show gains next week following her performance of it on NBC's Saturday Night Live this past weekend (Feb. 4).

ust below the Hot 100's top 10, The Chainsmokers' "Paris" rebounds 13-11 in its third week, after debuting at No. 7; The Weeknd's "I Feel It Coming," featuring Daft Punk, hits a new high (18-16), while becoming his seventh top 10 (and Daft Punk's third) on Radio Songs (14-10; 76 million, up 10 percent); and Migos' "T-Shirt," from Culture, vaults 37-19.

It's over. It's finally over. The B&B era is over.  :'(

At the beginning I actually liked Don't Wanna Know but now I just want this song to die...

Water Under The Bridge is dying. They can still save it. Grammy performance (even as a part of medley) and a video. Please. Please. :(

Also it's so frustrating how hard it is for IFIC and LOTB to reach top 10 but then again, they recieve no support from their artists!

For as much as I hated Bad & Boujee it actually feels weird that I'm happy to see T-Shirt in the top 20. For some reason I like that song.
