Lotsa stans. They're always flooding the comments on the top 10 announcement videos, always delusional, thinking BTS might be top 10 or #1. It's kinda funny. But yh, Billboard must cater to an audience, and BTS have lots of stans. And it gets annoying that they do that. Why do they think that BTS songs would always be top 10? I don't get it. Has anyone ever told them off and put some sense into them so that they stop doing this every single damn week? Sure, every week someone pokes fun at them and how delusional or pressed they are, but they keep coming back, God love 'em. xD Anyways, I turned off the video right after I heard about Nicki. I am pressed myself. Love me some Nicki as much as the next person, but hate her new songs, and I'm honestly so fed up with how the songs I keep rooting for continue to fail from making it. I bet "Whatever It Takes" isn't even top 20 this week yet - hope I'm proven wrong. |

Nicki’s first solo Top 10 hit since Anaconda in 2014, I believe it’s her 16th top 10 overall.

Drake's 'Nice for What' Holds Atop Billboard Hot 100, Nicki Minaj's 'Chun-Li' Vaults to Top 10
4/23/2018 by Gary Trust
"Nice" reigns for a second week & Minaj earns her 16th top 10, extending her record among female rappers.
Drake's "Nice for What" leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a second week, following its debut at No. 1 a week earlier.
Plus, Nicki Minaj soars to the top 10 with "Chun-Li," which bounds from No. 92 to No. 10 following its first full week of tracking.
And, with Florida Georgia Line and Maren Morris ranking on hits at Nos. 3 and 5, respectively, two country acts place in the Hot 100's top five simultaneously for the first time in over 18 years.
Let's run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated April 28), which blends all-genre streaming, airplay and sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (April 24).
As on the Hot 100, "Nice," released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, down 2 percent to 59.3 million U.S. streams in the week ending April 19, according to Nielsen Music. It dips 1-2 on Digital Song Sales with 50,000 downloads sold, down 43 percent, in the week ending April 19, while surging 34-27 on the Radio Songs chart with 40 million in all-format airplay audience, up 33 percent, in the week ending April 22, good for the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award.
Notably, as "Nice" has spent its first two weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1, exactly half of the hits (15 of 30) that have debuted on top have remained at the summit in their second weeks.
Plus, Drake has now spent 33 cumulative weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, dating to his first week on top as featured on Rihanna's "What's My Name?" (Nov. 20, 2010), the first of his five No. 1s. With his latest frame in the lead, he passes Bruno Mars (32) for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 among solo males this decade. Among all acts, only Rihanna has totaled more weeks at the top spot in the 2010s: 41.
"Nice" concurrently crowns Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a second week each.
Meanwhile, Drake boasts the Nos. 1 and 2 songs on the Hot 100 for a second week, as "God's Plan" logs a second frame at the runner-up spot after tallying its first 11 weeks at No. 1. Drake is the 16th act to rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously for multiple weeks, and the first since Justin Bieber, who did so for four frames in July 2017 as featured on Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" and DJ Khaled's "I'm the One."
"Plan" holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (44.2 million, down 7 percent) and No. 3 on Radio Songs (114 million, up 5 percent) and drops 3-5 on Digital Song Sales (31,000, down 13 percent).
Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2. It leads the Radio Songs chart for a third week (142 million, up 4 percent), Hot Country Songs for a 21st frame and the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart for a second week, while rising 2-1 on Country Airplay, where FGL earns its 12th leader and Rexha collects her first.
Post Malone's "Psycho," featuring Ty Dolla $ign, is steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 2 high.
Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey's "The Middle" hits the Hot 100's top five (6-5). Zedd notches his second top five hit and first as a lead act, following his featured turn on Ariana Grande's "Break Free" (No. 4, 2014). Morris and Grey each make their first visit to the region. Airplay leads the way for "The Middle," which holds at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs (117 million, up 2 percent).
With Florida Georgia Line at No. 3 and Morris at No. 5, two core country acts chart in the Hot 100's top five simultaneously for the first time in over 18 years, since the chart dated April 15, 2000, when Faith Hill's "Breathe" ranked at No. 3 and Lonestar's "Amazed" placed at No. 5.
Of course, "The Middle" is not a country song; it tops the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 12th week.
And, "Middle" ground: Zedd, Morris and Grey's hit matches the peak of the other song titled "The Middle" that has charted on the Hot 100: Jimmy Eat World's different composition reached No. 5 in June 2002.
BlocBoy JB's "Look Alive," featuring Drake, drops to No. 6 from its No. 5 Hot 100 peak; Ed Sheeran's former six-week No. 1 "Perfect" repeats at No. 7; Lil Dicky's "Freaky Friday," featuring Chris Brown, rebounds to its best rank (9-8), while ruling Hot R&B Songs for a second week; and Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin's "I Like It" descends to No. 9 after opening a week ago at No. 8.
Capping the Hot 100's top 10, Nicki Minaj blasts 92-10 with "Chun-Li." The song hurtles following its first full week of tracking; it debuted from a day of streaming and sales tracking and four days of radio airplay monitoring, after its April 12 release. It debuts at No. 14 on Streaming Songs (22.1 million in the April 13-19 tracking week, up from 3.5 million in its first day) and charges 16-4 on Digital Song Sales (38,000, up from 20,000), as it logs the Hot 100's top streaming and sales increases.
Minaj tallies her 16th Hot 100 top 10, extending her record for the most among female rappers; Missy Elliott ranks second with nine.
("Chun-Li" logs the greatest jump on the Hot 100, 82 positions, since Katy Perry's "Roar" roared 83 spots, from No. 85 to No. 2, also following its first full tracking week, on Aug. 31, 2013.)
Minaj additionally rockets with her new song, also released April 12, "Barbie Tingz," which jumps 83-25, as it debuts at No. 19 on Streaming Songs (18 million, up from 4.2 million in its first day) and climbs 13-7 on Digital Song Sales (29,000, up from 21,000).
Also just beyond the Hot 100's top 10, Camila Cabello's "Never Be the Same" hits a new high (15-13) and Imagine Dragons' "Whatever It Takes" enters the top 20 (22-20), while Lil Pump logs the chart's highest debut, "Esskeetit," at No. 24.

Yesss @ “Chun Li” hitting the top ten, “I Like It” staying in, “Nice For What” staying put at the top, and “The Middle” hitting the top 5. So here for all of this.

Yay for Imagine Dragons!! And Camila too. Can someone discover where "Mine" is this week?
Also good on "Freaky Friday" for sticking around, too bad it hasn't peaked higher up than #8. Sure ain't gonna happen next week either with all those debuts predicted.
Does anyone know when a video for "I Like It" comes out? Hope it's not as late as "Bartier Cardi".

Happy for Nicki.
Looks like radio is on board so hopefully it returns (assuming it falls out next week) after the official video and some promo.
Next: hoping NBTS can sneak in a week within the next couple weeks after J. Cole storms the charts next week.

Out of the 23 songs that have hit their peaks within the top 10 in 2018 so far, only 7 have nothing to do with hip-hop.

Could an Avicii song that never entered before, like Waiting For Love, enter if it makes the hot 100, or would it have to be top 50 or higher as well?

Chun-Li at #10 has me amazed. Nobody was predicting that it would hit Top 10 this week, from what I saw. And it's easily her best song to have hit Top 10.
I'm kinda salty about the fact that it didn't debut in the Top 10. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time Nicki has screwed herself out of a big debut by releasing a bit early.
Eskeettit is also a really great track, and I'm impressed that it has as much hype as it has. I was somewhat expecting Lil Pump to be a one hit wonder.

renaboss, it looks like it is getting to 2004 levels, but the difference (for now) is that non-hip-hop songs are at least capable of getting into the top 3.
That was highly unusual for 36 months in the early / mid 2000s.
