Wow, This Is America is probably the most impactful #1 single in years, and it has only had a single chart week so far.

see you post a lot on here about featured artists and about how they should or shouldn't be credited. I don't quite understand what you have against it. For example "uptown funk" went #1 but we all know it only went there because of Bruno. So my Question is why shouldn't featured artist's get credited when in many cases they contribute to a song the same as the lead, if not more? I don’t think you quoted correctly. Anyway, the ‘feature’ of Bruno on “Uptown Funk” is different than Jay-Z doing a brief intro rap on “Umbrella” or Rihanna singing a hook. Bruno sings the entirely of “UF.” As for me talking about features, I personally see a big difference in a single that is released by someone as the lead artist and someone who is brought in to sing a brief part. So you are saying that in your opinion rap features that sing a verse shouldn't be credited? Say Young Thug on "Havana" he shouldn't be credited. And that if an artist sings a hook say, "Love The way you lie", Rihanna shouldn't be credited? But if an artist sings the whole song Like "Uptown Funk" they should be credited. I agree with you in saying that different featured artists on different song contribute more then others but I believe if the song is realised as blah blah blah featuring whoever then the feature should get credit. I don't think people shouldn't be credited just because they contribute less to a song then another does. Can you imagine if Billboard took that logic on, people would be in an uproar about how this artist got credited but so and so didn't. This is always a tricky situation for some but Billboard counts features so, so do I.  |

The message is strong and is really respresentative of today’s times, the music video is EVERYWHERE on social media, there are already a handful of memes that have gone viral for it, and many people who don’t even follow pop culture seem to have watched/know about the video. Not to mention it’s the first #1 song with substance and true symbolism in quite a while. |

When we see chart records for most #1s, most top 10, etc. I view it very differently if someone got those hits as a lead artist with their own music than if someone racked up a lot of those hits by doing a guest verse/hook. |

Ed Sheeran
With "Perfect" & "Shape of You," Sheeran is the only artist with two such smashes as a lead artist.
As previously reported, Childish Gambino's "This Is America" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated May 19), marking his first No. 1.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran makes history in the top 10, as his former six-week leader "Perfect" re-enters the tier, rebounding from No. 12 to No. 9. With the rise, the song spends its 26th total week in the top 10, becoming only the 10th single in the Hot 100's 59-year history to log at least half a year in the bracket.

Fantastic. Sam Hunt released his new single THREE days early. This means something big is probably coming on Friday we don't know about yet! Surprise Camila and Pharrell collab? Or maybe Drake or Rihanna. Also Ariana might be releasing another song on the 20th of May which will be on Saturday. A lot of new music coming ahead of the BBMAs!

Glad so many artists are releasing soon, makes the chart move a lot faster as seen in the past few weeks. |

Hot 100 Chart Moves: Travis Scott's 'Watch,' Featuring Lil Uzi Vert & Kanye West, Debuts at No. 16
News
By Xander Zellner and Gary Trust | May 16, 2018 9:43 AM EDT
Plus, El Chombo earns his first top 40 hit & Charlie Puth debuts.
As Childish Gambino blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated May 19) with "This Is America" -- his first leader on the list -- Travis Scott's "Watch," featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Kanye West, is the chart's top debut, launching at No. 16.
Following its first full week of tracking after its May 4 release, "Watch" arrives with 23.8 million U.S. streams and 15,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 10, according to Nielsen Music. It concurrently debuts at No. 7 on the Streaming Songs chart and No. 16 on Digital Song Sales.
The collab is Scott's third top 20 hit on the Hot 100 (among 23 total entries), following his featured turn, with Quavo, on Drake's "Portland" (No. 9 in 2017) and his own "Antidote" (No. 16, 2015).
"Watch" is also Lil Uzi Vert's third top 20 Hot 100 hit (of 20 total entries) and West's 29th (of 83). Billed as The Throne, West last reached the top 20 in April 2016 as featured on Drake's No. 16-peaking "Pop Style." Until this week, he had last appeared in the region under his own name in May 2015 with his No. 4-team-up with Rihanna and Paul McCartney, "FourFiveSeconds."
West boasts the ninth-most entries in the Hot 100's 59-year history. Here's an updated look at the acts with the most visits:
207, Glee Cast
162, Drake
137, Lil Wayne
108, Elvis Presley
97, JAY-Z
91, James Brown
90, Chris Brown
88, Nicki Minaj
83, Kanye West
77, Taylor Swift
75, Ray Charles
73, Aretha Franklin
71, The Beatles
"Dame Tu Cosita," El Chombo
The Panamanian producer (real name: Sebastian Clark) earns his first top 40 Hot 100 hit, as his resurgent viral track darts 43-36, while leading Hot Latin Songs for a second week. The meme-assisted song rises 21-18 on Streaming Songs, despite a 9 percent dip to 19.2 million U.S. streams. (Streaming accounts for almost all the song's Hot 100 activity.)
El Chombo originally released "Cosita" in 1998, but it has now hit new heights powered by its YouTube animation (by artist Art Noux). He muses to Billboard, "I wasn't looking for a hit. The hit found me."
"Done for Me," Charlie Puth feat. Kehlani
Puth debuts the third single from his sophomore LP Voicenotes (released May 11) at No. 74 on the Hot 100. The track marks his seventh consecutive top 20 hit on the Pop Songs airplay chart, where it pushes 24-20. It also reaches the Radio Songs top 40 (47-38; 26.4 million in all-format audience, up 26 percent, in the week ending May 13).
