A year ago, was a better environment for pop Not so much now Assuming this is about Ariana, although I hope and pray it is pop music, for all we know it could be an urban heavy track featuring Kendrick Lamar I feel like it'll probably be a rhythmic pop track in the vein of Side to Side or Havana, likely featuring a rapper. At least that's what she will do if she's smart. |

If Drake didn't sell albums in such huge quantities, I wonder if he could challenge the true Holy Grail of the H100: The Beatles having the Top 5 singles. Even if he were to do it, it wouldn't be the same as when the Beatles did it. Remember in 1964 the only way to chart on the Hot 100 was with a commercially released single. The Beatles achievement was considered so extraordinary because nobody else even had that many singles out at the same time back then, much less 5 of them that became such big selling hits. Not to mention the high amount of airplay that would have been necessary for those songs to chart that high as well. Today any song off an album or EP can chart as long as it has enough streaming, sales or airplay points. The Hot 100 ceased to be strictly a singles chart at the end of 1998, and that has led to some unprecedented results in more recent years; like certain artists charting every (or almost every) single track from their newly released albums; Drake himself included. If Drake were to tie the Top 5 singles record, and I agree it seems possible that he could, it still wouldn't be the same thing that the Beatles accomplished under very different circumstances in 1964. It'd be like comparing apples to oranges. |

Need to look at it from the time period it came from Other examples of really watered down stats Most chart hits simultaneously Biggest Jump to #1 Highest debut on the Hot 100 Debuting at#1 Most hits from one album |

Stats are records are such interesting things to look at but you're right that the chart has changed so much in nature over the years that it's nearly completely senseless to compare chart stats and runs at present to those stats and runs even earlier this decade, much less in decades past. Sigh... |

I guess Drake really is gonna be the one to dethrone Drake
I'll take this over God's Plan, only because I've gotten tired of it by now. Still a good song.

I highkey think Drake is gonna challenge black eyed peas for longest reign over number one because I think it's fair to assume NFW is gonna debut top 2 at minimum. And God's plan has a good 2 or 3 weeks left and NFW is bound to blow up |

If Drake breaks the top 5 record (not impossible at this point, especially if the album drops this month), longest reign over number one or 17 weeks, he's the undisputed artist of the 2010s

Nice For What is at least energetic and catchy, so I wouldn't mind if it were a #1 hit, despite my bias against Drake.

He’s one of the top 5 most powerful artists in the world and has the ability to basically do whatever he wants cause he knows people will listen no matter what or when he puts new material out He's Top 5 and he's not 5 (or 4, or 3, or 2). Actually I put him at number 3. I don’t think he’s more powerful than Adele(#1) or Taylor Swift (#2). |

Delicate might actually become a hit, but I think Drake’s above T-Swift right now. Drake got a song with BlocBoy JB, a rapper who nobody’s ever heard of, to debut top 10. If Taylor hopped on some random unknown singer, DJ, or rapper’s Song, I don’t think it would have Look Alive levels of success. |

But we'll see The chart week of May 12th is gonna be quite the battlefield. Beerbongs & Bentleys release could get Psycho to #1, but Ariana's also releasing her lead single, BUT ALSO most likely continued big numbers for Nice For What (and rumors of an album release, which would either destroy everything or get stuck with B&B and they'd weaken each other) |

I think a lot of people are overestimating Ariana's chances of debuting or even reaching #1. If she wasn't able to do it with her last album, which was coming off of a much bigger era, her chance this time is probably less. And she didn't even come close, with Focus only debuting at #7 and then falling off fairly quickly (I actually like that song, but so many people shrugged it off, so whatever), and then them "canceling" that as the first single and relaunching the whole era with Dangerous Woman, which debuted at an even weaker #10 (though it did go on to be a bigger hit than Focus). The era was on the general upswing by the time Side to Side came out, but not as big as her My Everything days. And it's hard to say exactly how the Manchester incident will affect her career. So basically then, as far as female artists go, other than Adele I'd say Cardi B might actually have the best shot at #1 with one of her songs, I mean she does seem to be the new it girl now.
As for Drake's new song, I'll reserve my full prediction on it until we see the first day airplay and overall streaming #'s, but something tells me it might be overhyped, as its iTunes lead currently isn't gargantuan and its video count is actually only at a measly 4.7 million after its first full day.

Beatles had huge unprecedented success that will probably never be matched again but I'm not exactly sure the entire GP was listening to 5+ Beatles singles on repeat. That had to be the result of their absolutely huge core fanbase consuming their music non-stop. Same as if someone had 5 songs at the top today and some weren't even singles -- it'd be the result of an absolutely huge core fanbase consuming music non-stop. |

Because it was the era of physical singles, each hardcore fan's purchase of that single counted exactly one time for the chart (unless they bought multiple copies of the same single every week for several weeks, which I would have to imagine would be an incredibly small number of people). Whereas in the streaming era one Drake fan can listen to a song 50 times a week for three months and have all those plays count. For the Beatles to sustain that many singles for that many weeks they had to appeal to people outside of their fanbase, even as massive as it was. Physical single sales reflected the number of unique people who purchased the single (again, minus the small number of fans who bought multiple copies of the same song) and each purchase only counted once toward the Hot 100. Streaming numbers reflect every time every person listens to that song ever. Waaaaaay different. |

I don't think the article actually said it was a lead single, right? So it could just be a feature on one of those albums coming out that day. Unlikely, but possible, I guess. Also, her last album was handled pretty terribly by her management prior to Side To Side being released as a single so I wouldn't use it as a way to tell if she could get a #1 or not. Focus was essentially Problem 2.0, but too similar and not as good with a grating chorus so it died quickly. Dangerous Woman was a very different (single) sound for her and music at the time in general outside of Earned It. They also began to push Into You before Dangerous Woman was finished so you could argue that hurt both. Into You's video was released before it was a single and all of its promo was done at the start of its run so the only promotion it got was a one week iTunes discount. Shawn Mendes' Treat You Better also got a discount that week and they both jumped up to the top 5 on iTunes, however after a week Into You's was gone while Shawn's remained. Into You collapsed while Shawn held on. Side To Side was also sent for adds/announced as a single (I forget which) before Into You even died. Then Everyday happened which.. I know some people here think otherwise and it has grown a lot on me, but it never should have been a single, both on its own merit and looking at the handful of other songs on the album which would have been much better picks

I will die if Ariana sends a boring ballad about Manchester as the first single... I would understand it, but chartwise a ballad is probably the worst idea.

The best kind of ballad, that builds into a climax. She's like the only young pop singer with the voice to pull that off. I'll be disappointed with anything else, no matter how much of a bop it is. I don't want another generic pop song, I want something with substance. But it's her prerogative to do whatever she wants. And would that honestly be a bad idea chart-wise? It'd be the kind of song that could probably extend beyond her typical demographic. |

The Beatles deal was that multiple labels at the same time had rights to their early singles, when they hit it big with I wanna Hold Your Hand, the other labels jumped on the bandwagon and released everything they had from a year or two earlier and they became hits too
4 labels account for the 5 Beatles songs

I don't even think Drake has ever had a singular point in time where he was as big as BSB or N Sync in their heyday. Drake has had longer-running and pretty consistent success though, so that shouldn't be discounted. But something to remember about the Beatles era is that sales weren't exact and were reported by retailers. Plus, I'd be curious to know how high were single sales at that point? Drake's situation may be totally different but his ability to continuously grab and keep attention with his singles in a time where any sort of chart manipulation (intentional or otherwise) is hard to do is pretty impressive. |

An article from Billboard, April 4, 1964. Talks about supply issues with Canada. Radio stations being flooded with Beatles product. The Canadian singles chart that week had Beatles at #1-#9 and a very brief mention of the Hot 100 top five
"
Just about everyone is tired of the Beatles. Disc jockeys are tired of playing the hit group; the writers of trade and consumer publications are tired of writing about them and manufacturers of product other than the Beatles are tired of hearing about them. Everyone is tired of the Beatles except the listening and buying public.
Two more Beatles singles popped onto the Hot 100 this week. “You Can’t Do That” and “Thank You Girl” from Vee Jay. This ups last weeks total of Beatles records on the chart to 12. “Can’t Do That” is the flip side to ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ which broke in at #27 last week and went to #1 this week.
The mass of Beatles material being supplied to American radio stations and stores is being increased again by product from Canada. Latest is “Love me DO” which is getting hot airplay across the country. Now that US retailers and distributors have set up air corridor channels with Canadian subdistributors, “Love Me Do” like the previous “All My Loving” can be expected to funnel into the country at a much quicker and regular rate.
One thing that seems to have handicapped output of the “Love Me Do” single is the accidental breaking of one of the pressing masters in Capitol of Canada’s plant.
Prices paid for those 3 Capitol of Canada disks from Canada one-stops is approximately 61 cents and they are being sold to retailers in this country for 75 to 89 cents. The retailer who gets on the street first with the disks can sell them for anything from $1.25 to $1.75. But as the amount of Capitol of Canada singles appear the price declines. It seldom goes below 99 cents however.
There was also some demand for the Capitol of Canada LP “Beatlemania” but requests for this have diminished somewhat. It is understood that the “Beatlemania”will be repackaged to conform to the new US Capitol LP called “The Second Beatles Album” There are 2 Capitol of Canada LPs which have found their way onto the US market, “Twist and Shout” is the other. These package are being purchased for approximately $2.60 and it was reported in Boston by some retailers for as high as $6. The Canadian LP price is $4.20.
In Canada, the beatles hold the first nine chart positions. With the addition of “Can’t Buy Me Love” at #1 they now hold the first five slots on the Hot 100.
Geoffrey F Raccine, executive vice president of Capitol of Canada has denied reports that any firm in the US has distribution rights to “Roll Over Beethoven”. Raccine also said that the company is not exporting Beatles records to the United States and has no intention of doing so. He does admit however, records are being shipped here through one-stops and large record buyers with branches in Canada. It is also known that many American record merchandisers have set up specific deals with Canadian subdistributors of Capitol product"
