You obviously aren't paying attention to the lyrics at all. Humble doesn't call women bitches. "Bitch sit down, be humble" is referring to arrogant rappers, not women.

In fact, half of the second verse calls out mainstream media for portraying black people and women poorly.

It doesn't matter. Do you seriously think the lyrics is deep anyways?

...yes. This isn't Flo Rida.

Sad that he's actually the b**ch of the religion and I don't just mean conservative/liberal or whatever crap

What do you mean it doesn't matter? What doesn't matter?

I never said they were deep, and why would they need to be. Shape of You is as shallow of a meaning as can be.

What the hell is "bitch of the religion"? What religion? Why are you bringing politics into this?

This post is the epitome of making zero sense and adding literally nothing to the conversation.

But it did piss you off. So it added something.

Bitch, sit down. :sip2:

It's really nice seeing this rapid turnover on the chart lately. I could care less about longevity records. The chart is more fresh (and more diverse) now than it has been in a long time.

I'm not pissed off, so you failed there too. You also neglected to answer literally all of my questions. Therefore, I take it that means you have no leg to stand on in whatever position of whatever argument you thought you were in.

Between you and Leona's Rickety Wagon, today has far fulfilled Pulse's messy breakdown quota for the week. Enjoy your inevitable ban.


Hope Humble is able to hold on for another week or even more! It's gonna be a fun couple of weeks watching Kendrick, Ed, and Bruno duke it out. Also, It Ain't Me had a good shot for top ten next week!

Wtf lol. You must be joking my friend.

LMAO @ this thread

Chart out now

[Harx]

I don't like weeks like this when an entire album debuts (even if I really like the album like in the case of Damn) and almost everything is pushed down but the #1 for Humble was absolutely worth it.

On the contrary, Don't Wanna Know, Starboy, and Fake Love are all gone and I am all for this quick turnover rate rather than having dead weight in the charts for weeks. Love 2017!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

3 new Top 10 entries which is great and continues a good streak of a relatively rapid turnover for the Top 10. Also, glad to see Stay reach the Top 10 and provide a credited female artist. Next week should be another interesting one.

[feoba]

This is the 4th week in a row that a song has peaked at #4, and DNA. Is the 8th song this year to peak at #4 so far.

1. 24k Magic (peaked in both 2016-2017)
2. Bad Things
3. Million Reasons
4. Chained to the Rhythm
5. I Feel It Coming
6. iSpy
7. Sign of the Times
8. DNA.

[rimetm]

Also of note is that half of the songs were not on the chart the prior week: DNA., Million Reasons (the only re-entry of the 8), Chained to the Rhythm, & Sign of the Times.

The entire top6 play on my main Rap station LoL

SOY is #6 on Digital songs, HUMBLE #10, but HUMBLE sold more
SOY drops to #4 on Streaming with 5% decline, but they say it gained in performance
The more I try to figure out how Billboard do this, the more confused I get

As has already been explained re: Digital Songs, "HUMBLE" fell because of the 'Complete My Album' rule. It didn't affect the sales counted for the Hot 100, though.

If "SOY" declined in streaming, then I can't explain them saying it gained in performance.

Actually I don't know where he/she saw it written that "SOY" increased its performance. Per the Hot 100 article it fell in airplay and streaming and stayed even in sales:

Despite dipping to No. 2 on the Hot 100, Sheeran's "Shape" adds an 11th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (184 million, down 1 percent). It drops 2-4 on Streaming Songs (39.5 million, down 5 percent) and 3-6 on Digital Song Sales (66,000, essentially even week-over-week). The song led the rankings for four and 10 weeks, respectively.

[Gary]

Well in any case the song is on the decline....probably time for that Justin Bieber remix to bring it back up - LOL

[truemusicreviews]

I completely agree with everybody that is complimenting the increased turnover of the charts. My biggest issue with the 2016 charts was that the same, boring songs were clogging up the Top 20, making the charts really boring. This year, the charts have been much more interesting (even if there have been some pretty awful hits lmao).

It shows it falling to #4 from #2. What am I missing?

[jenglisbe]

There is an error in the Hot 100 article, though:

Despite dipping to No. 2 on the Hot 100, Sheeran's "Shape" adds an 11th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (184 million, down 1 percent). It drops 2-4 on Streaming Songs (39.5 million, down 5 percent)

Future's highest-charting Hot 100 hit, "Mask Off," enters the top five (7-5). Driven by the #MaskOffChallenge meme, in which everyone from dancers to violinists and flute players accompany the song in user-generated clips, the track stays at No. 3 on Streaming Songs (38.5 million, up 5 percent).

This would have us believe "SOY" has 1 million more streams than "Mask Off" yet is ranked 1 spot lower on Streaming Songs.
