Hell no, and thank goodness it'll be gone after next week. Good riddance. I mean it's tied for most weeks in the top 10 ever and never fell out of the top 40 for nearly a year. Year end top 10, probably twice. Pretty legendary imo To note, only Candle in the Wind 1997 and How Do I Live have done the latter feat, coincidentally both for the 1997 and 1998 Hot 100 year-ends. |

How dare they discuss a Hot 100 record possibly being broken. What a bunch of heathens. Except there isn't much of a discussion past "it may or it may not, guess we'll see in the coming weeks" because there isn't sufficient information to actually make any informed hypotheticals one way or the other for something that's still 6 weeks out. I could see the constant discussion if it were week 14 or 15 and we could actually see the trends songs were making that could determine if it would or would not be number one for 17 weeks, but this discussion comes up every time a song reaches 8 or 9 weeks and it's honestly tiring because it never actually happens. If indeed it looks like it is in sight, then it merits discussion, but there's simply too many drastic variables in the next 6 weeks to really have any sufficient discussions on the topic. Even Billboard's "article" is a half-baked phoned in piece full of what ifs. |
