Thanks for noticing that!!! In 2011 indeed songs early in the year were at an advantage and the last few months of chart year were screwed. No wonder why Someone Like You was only #24 despite its stellar performance in 2011 chart year. Songs like Someone Like you, Moves Like Jagger, We Found Love or even Party Rock Anthem were so f**king screwed meaning that 2011 year end was not in favor of them charted late in the year and 2012 year end was not in favor either for them charted early in the year. But just to show how strong PRA was even after double screw still #2 of the decade here! How was PRA screwed? It ranks higher in BBs list than yours. Points don't matter to them, and the all-time charts are what is gonna go down in history. I think the song really screwed is Somebody That I Used To Know. Peaked ridiculously high in he beginning, and was an extremely massive song, but didn't even hit double digit weeks. One dance is a much bigger song according to BB (I think.) I mean, on the year-end charts... which are also going down in history, or whatever. And no, One Dance is not a bigger song according to BB. It's not just how long it sits at no.1 spot. Somebody that I Used to Know is like the #30 biggest song of all-time while One Dance's not gonna make the list. |

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to that. How come that is the case? Did STIUTK just have longer longevity? |

I think the ultimate display of complete ridiculousness (from the 2010's, not counting 2007) came in 2011 though. Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not: 92-87-80-69-62-51-42-45-53-58-40-36-33-32-35-34-36-43-47-53. Charted week 5 to week 24. Year end position is 96. You And Tequila: 92-71-57-50-47-42-37-35-33-35-33-33-33-33-35-35-36-39-50-70. Charted week 28 to week 47. Year end position is 98?!?!?! Also I think even 2016 had a weird formula change mid-year where streaming numbers were decreased in favor of sales which lead to the 28-39 collapse of Watch Me that week. oh wow I didn't even know that You and Tequila spent 12 weeks in the top 40. I thought #98 YE was a reasonable position for a #33-peaking song - I Don't Dance got the exact same treatment in 2014 - until I just now saw this chart run. That is impressive. |
