Where has someone said 25/52 is not strict enough? I interpreted their post to mean that Shape Of You shouldn’t be charting anymore = 25/52 isn’t strict enough. Unless they meant they want some kind of horrible weighting thing like in the UK, to make the data less accurate. I can't speak for them, but speaking for myself there is another option; I am annoyed at "SOY" still hanging around, but that is separate from any chart rule. I just don't understand it still hanging around this long after when there are newer songs, but that doesn't mean I want the 25/52 rule to change; i just wish radio would drop it. |

You can't say 25/52 rule isn't strict enough if only 1 song is the problem.

This type of s**t is why I don’t consider anything pre-Nielsen to be reliable from billboard. Nielsen = actual performance not label fuckery Also, thank god for streaming. Finally music is in the hands of the people It's also why I laugh when people try to put down the achievements of today in comparison to the past. (Example: Katy's Teenage Dream #1s compared to Bad's, Rihanna's 30+ top 10s, etc) Almost every achievement today is probably realistically harder when real data, slower chart turnover, and minimal label manipulation is being used. The people who claim it was 'harder then'/'more impressive then' just say that with no validity behind it. There is validity to this. One area though where it is actually much easier today than in the past is with the metric of "number of songs charted". Back in the day you had to have a physical single released in order to chart whereas in the present you can have an entire album hit the Hot 100 (albeit many of them for a single week). |

Wow, I just looked and saw Shape of You back to top 25 on Overall Radio today.
Real question: Do you guys think its possibly the biggest run ever for any song on radio?
It was released 13 months ago. Happy/All of Me/We Belong Together/Yeah!/etc didn't still have a run like this over a year later if my memory serves correctly.
It's not near the highest cumulative audience ever yet, but if we are talking about a run on the radio chart before going recurrent I'm not sure any song has a better one.

Not capped by the 52 week recurrent rule - sure overall - no I honestly think it might get the highest cumulative audience ever down the line. Assuming it keeps steady pace. A blog posted the songs with the 50 highest cumulative audiences last Summer: Full top 50: culturalmentepop.blogspot.com.br/2017/06/as-50-musicas-com-os-maiores-acumulados.htmlIt's already around 7.5 billion. Another 2 billion this year (averaging 40 million per week) would put it in the top 10 by the end of this year alone. |

And here are the 10 longest charting radio singles on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart since 1991 1. 72 Til I Hear It From You, Gin Blossoms 2. 70 One Headlight, The Wallflowers 3. 69 I Don t Want To Wait, Paula Cole 4. 65 You Were Meant For Me, Jewel 5. 63 Before He Cheats, Carrie Underwood 63 Don't Speak, No Doubt 63 How Do I Live, LeAnn Rimes 63 If You Could Only See, Tonic 63 Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO 10. 60 Walkin On The Sun, Smash Mouth At 59 weeks - Fly by Sugar Ray and Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran Also an important note is that Billboard didn't include Urban/Latin/etc formats in the Overall until 1998. Meaning many of those wouldn't have lasted as long. Crossover hits and hits on Urban that would've been charting on the chart would've pushed them out the chart some weeks earlier. Also I believe the airplay chart was a Top 75 with no recurrent rules in the 90s. Today it's a Top 50, with recurrent rules. |

Shape of You has to be the biggest radio hit ever. It had 38 weeks in the top 10? And basically its entire chart run so far in the top 20 minus a few weeks? It's worldwide domination is insane. |

The UK charts are a perfect example of what happens when old fossils refuse to accept the inevitable. Hopefully Billboard doesn’t go down the same route. Get me up to speed, what are the U.K. chart's recurrent rules? |

The UK chart rule is dreadful. It has to do with a song's streaming ratio being changed once it's been on the charts long enough (and I think it has to have been declining for 2-3 weeks too). The recurrent rule is a lot better because it is applied in a flat way across all songs that have been on the charts long enough and are below a certain range. There was a week earlier this year where Perfect would have been #3 without it, but because of that change in weighing, it was down at #18. Last year, there was a week where Wild Thoughts snuck in at #1 even though Despacito was both streaming and selling more than it.

I cba to quote anyone, and several people questioned what I meant about it, but I did not mean to say "Shape of You" shouldn't be allowed to chart anymore, not my point, my point was precisely how it still amasses enough numbers to chart because radio just won't drop it. It came in the sequence of someone revealing that, in the 80s, labels would push for radio stations to drop older songs in favor of newer singles, so my point was: would that be such a bad thing if it came back into play?
Someone said that, finally, the hits are in the hands of the people, not the labels, but the people don't decide what radio stations play, and with the pre-made streaming playlists, even that is debatable. If I'm at the gym listening to a playlist, I oftentimes won't be arsed to skip to the next song if I come upon one I don't particularly like. So it's kinda like the radio in a sense.

Also I believe the airplay chart was a Top 75 with no recurrent rules in the 90s. Today it's a Top 50, with recurrent rules. Maybe, maybe not Much of that list did not chart on the Hot 100 at all. You could only hear them if you requested it on radio or bought the album Airplay charts coincide with the recurrent rules of the Hot 100 - When Shape of You falls below #25, the song will also disappear from the radio charts, no matter how high it is. |

There's also the "3 songs per artist" rule after Ed Sheeran broke the UK charts last March. I think this is a great argument for keeping airplay on the charts, which the UK charts don't use. It keeps huge streaming acts like Drake or Migos not getting the entire top 10 of the chart on album release week, when in reality the popular element is the album, not the songs themselves. |

It's always impressive to see Country songs in the Top 20 especially since they really only get airplay on one format obviously.
When you have most of the songs on the top 20 getting massive airplay in 2, 3 or even 4 different genres.
Is there a list of Country songs from this decade that have passed like 75 million impressions? I would imagine it is only a handful of song and songs that probably were crossovers - Lady Antebellum, Taylor, etc.

Many of them would have been aided by AC and Hot AC (and country for "BHC" and rock formats for some others) if those weren't included either. Apparently Top 40, HAC, AC, Rhythmic, and Alternative were the only ones included in overall. Then at the end of 1998, they added other formats mainly Urban & Urban AC. So Pop hits that were crossovers on HAC/AC/Alternative formats had the advantage before end of 1998. Which is why songs like "Iris" and "Don't Speak" have the most weeks #1 from that era, and then once Urban/Urban AC was added to Overall songs like "We Belong Together", "No One", "Yeah!" which are Urban crossovers ended up being the biggest reigners during the 2000s on the overall chart. This does actually make me wonder if "One Sweet Day", "I Will Always Love You", "End of the Road", "Unbreak My Heart", "The Boy Is Mine" and all the other R&B smashes from 1992-1998 would've actually spent even MORE weeks at #1 had Urban/Urban AC airplay been included in the Hot 100 Airplay chart. Crazy they had that dominance without Urban airplay. |
