Billboard Hot 100 : 07/28/18

[KeepDeanWeird]

The fact that so many people allegedly listen to terrestrial radio for music is still shocking to me - especially formats that target under 30. I wonder if BDS has a recalibration coming soon.

fhas incorrect; panel changes affect individual formats, not the overall landscape (what changes is where the audience impressions come from; but it all adds up the same). Mediabase has also had multiple panel changes since April 2017.

While there was indeed a panel change, what I think you're referring to is an audience recalibration; Mediabase periodically re-adjusts the estimation of how many people hear a song per spin per station. In this case, everything's trended downwards pretty sharply, reflecting that not as many people are actually listening to the radio as they were before.

so does this change make the audience similar to neilson soundscan now or no

No; Mediabase monitors a lot more stations than Billboard does, so the gap should still be fairly large, I think. But since Mediabase recalibrated total audience impressions, it wouldn't be a great surprise if BDS does the same - and since AI trended down on Mediabase, I think AI would do the same there too.

Same. It’s bizarre. People say they listen in the car but with Bluetooth ubiquitous I don’t understand why people would voluntarily listen to radio with its tons of ads and the same few songs played on repeat.

I usually go with the AT40 channels (new & old) on iheart radio when I am driving, that is usually sufficent

Definitely agree - but there's something nostalgic about listening to the radio to me, especially when you hear songs you wouldn't play normally but forgot about.

Playing 2000s hits on my Spotify playlist and hearing them on radio isn't the same to me and I'm not really sure why...which is why I still love listening to radio. I'll save the Spotify for my commutes on the bus

It's nice that Taylor has had another hit song, but why is there all this fuss about Delicate's chart success? Songs debuting near the bottom of the Hot 100 and then gradually climbing into the top 20 is quite common. If anything, it's Taylor's only song in years that has shown normal chart behaviour!

I suppose it's unusual for Taylor, as her songs usually peak on release week or shortly afterwards. But I would say those are the exceptions, not Delicate (at least when looking at the music industry as a whole).

THIS. I mean, if you don't follow the charts as much as we do you'd think that Delicate is about to go #1. It's ridiculous how much they are celebrating a possible #10 peak. Standards for pop songs are low nowadays.

Yeah, but it's nice for Reputation to finally have a single with some decent longevity. This was her poorest singles performance since the "Speak Now" era. "Look What You Made Me Do" burned out extremely fast, and her follow ups "Ready For It?" and "End Game" all spent less than 3 weeks in the top 20, and it seemed like "Delicate" would follow a similar pattern and barely crack top 20.

So the fact that it has been climbing slowly and steadily and actually going Top 10 is a nice accomplishment for the Reputation era.

And it's nice that radio is finally supporting a single from the "Reputation" era - it's her biggest airplay hit since "Wildest Dreams" (almost 3 years ago)

If she chose to end the Reputation era, it'd end on a good note like "Waking Up In Vegas" closing Katy Perry's "One of the Boys" era instead of repeat underperformances.

I just realized "Lucid Dreams" samples "Shape of My Heart" by Sting

It sounds like such an iconic song - I was shocked to hear it wasn't even released

I agree with this and feel the same way when hearing songs on the radio. It's also a very deeply entrenched habit that has been around pretty much since cars became part of mainstream American culture almost a hundred years ago, and it's just taking a while to die down. Also, you still can't beat the ease of listening to terrestrial radio in your car: you just press one button right on your dashboard and it turns on, and just press another button or two and you can very easily change stations and volume level, etc. Plus, some people, like me, are slow to adapt to new technology and have trouble fiddling with their phones and coordinating it with Bluetooth and the cars sound system, etc., or some people still drive older cars or still can't afford this newer technology...

I agree about the randomness of radio when it comes to stations that aren't playing the corporate-mandated songs. But those stations are few and far between. When I travel, which is a lot, I'll sample some of the local stations on the car radio. However, that only lasts about 15-20 minutes between the multiple commercials/mindless chatter before I'm activating the Bluetooth.

I am curious about the 'real' demographics (age/income/education) that continue to support music stations and how/where they listen. Maybe it's the passive music fan who never really buys anything? Talk/Sports radio is different - though I do laugh about the news stations with 'traffic and weather together' pitch. Yeah, got both of those on my phone and they're a lot more accurate than mentioning a few roads.

We've seen the slow and steady demise of brick/mortar music outlets and the incredibly swift decline of digital sales. So when is it going to hit music radio hard?

[renaboss]

When it comes to listening to music, there's nothing like hearing a favorite song of yours played on the radio. With Bluetooth etc., even on shuffle and with huge music selections (such as mine), it just doesn't feel the same. Go figure. I heard Shakira's "Whenever, Wherever" - the first song I ever stanned, on the first album I ever bought - on the radio for the first time in forever a few weeks ago, and it was magical. That's gotta be at least part of what keeps people listening to the radio.

Yes! It's always the obscure songs you'd never think you hear on the radio that are the best!

I heard Avril Lavigne's "Don't Tell Me" a while ago, and it gave me so much nostalgia. She has so many other big recurrent hits that it felt so good to hear one of her underrated ones.

Yeah, right?  Definitely a highlight of that album and a staple in the world of sampling and interpolating.  A great example of how time speaks louder than the charts sometimes.  Such an exquisite song.

I know it was given a promo release in support of the album, but not as a commercial single.  I have a copy of the promo CD with the studio and a live version on it.  I don't recall if it got some airplay or not here in the states, but I remember it was used in The Professional, which was Natalie Portman's debut film.

I noticed wiki lists it in his single chronology, as it did manage to chart in a few countries, but didn't do well without a true push.

Actually, they'd be off by 14.2M. Apple Music is more frontloaded so 74.7M probably is not happening, but HDD's 60.5M estimative is kinda low, imo.

I suppose it's unusual for Taylor, as her songs usually peak on release week or shortly afterwards. But I would say those are the exceptions, not Delicate (at least when looking at the music industry as a whole).

For me, pumping up the organic hit narrative is mostly all in good fun.  Does it need to be taken so seriously that it's being questioned like there's something wrong with it?    

But there is truth to it as well.  Odds were stacked against it.  So to see it succeed - and by that I don't mean go to #1 on pop, I just mean in general terms - and especially to do so without any kind of typical or atypical promotion gimmicks is refreshing to see.  Pop radio can be so weird and brutal, so it's nice to see that a good song can pull through after some blowback and a couple relative failures.

Lastly, ie normal chart behavior - exactly!  It's nice to see good old-fashioned normal chart behavior in streaming-heavy time with album bombs and 1-8 week "hits". It's also true that her first 2 top 5 hits off the album were largely driven by pre-album fan hysteria, so their peaks didn't require them to be hits in the way that Delicate has slowly become after the fan hype was long gone.

OK yes I get what you mean.

I think another factor might be that a lot of the people following Delicate are people who mainly pay attention to people like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Beyonce, etc. so a chart run like Delicate's actually is actually very rare if you mostly pay attention to those artists, since they often peak on debut week or very early. However, even in the pop world we've seen things like Havana, Cheap Thrills, Needed Me, Worth It and Dark Horse in recent years.

However, if you follow alternative or hip hop songs then Delicate's chart run is a normal chart run.

I think it is cool for Delicate, and it has undeniably been a success. I think this proves it's been a success in its own right as a song and hasn't had to rely on a pop star's star power. However, there have probably been hundreds of songs this decade that climbed slowly into the top 20/top 10.

I'm not from the US but just to share here in my country pop radio stations that cater to the young stay relevant with that demo via the music chart because they encourage the fandoms to compete and get their favorite's song to #1. And the votes are done on social media too. The DJs are very social media savvy as well too. When their act hits #1, they congratulate their fandom on air and online. You would often see the social media pages of those stations flooded by votes from various fandoms of teen-appealing acts.

Occasionally they do phone/Skype interviews of the foreign artists too. A lot of stations do Facebook Live streams while they are on board and read commments from listeners posted there on air. I think a lot of people "listen" to the radio that way here. There's a station here that became really popular because of their YouTube channel that uploads live performances of local artists done on their station.

Also, here in my country radio is such a common background for public utility vehicles, terminals, waiting areas and stores so there's a lot of passive listening happening too.

Agreed.  I still have a 2008 which doesn't have bluetooth.  Nor does it have USB or touchscreen controls.  If I want to use my phone to play music, I have to plug it in my aux port with an adaptor and mess with my phone while driving.  So, unless I'm on a road trip, I listen to the radio during my short commutes to and from work, running errands, etc.  I still enjoy some of the stupid DJ bits during morning and afternoon drive shows, which are what sets radio apart from streaming.  People - interaction - quick and easy entertainment and information outside of just the music.

I do feel like the little bits and pieces of radio I do listen to are what keeps from being totally lost on today's charts.  And the less I actively listen to or passively hear music on the radio, the less hit songs I know unless I take the initiative to seek out new music on Spotify on Fridays.  As a former radio guy, I'll always have a soft spot for the format, even if I think it's days may be numbered.  Studies show that many people like the interaction and the human/personality element of radio, but with it becoming so insanely compact, corporate and non-local these days, it is not doing itself any favors outside of staying afloat financially.

The majority of radio stations are add-free in Denmark because entertainment is a valued high here; it's paid for through taxes.

This speaks to the interactivity and human element I just mentioned above.  Radio has the ability to really connect with their audience and use all sorts of social media and other platforms to do so - whereas streaming is just an outlet to listen to music.  For some people that's enough, but for others its not.  I wish I could fast forward 10 years and see what's in the cards for radio.

[jenglisbe]

Not sure where to post this, but it seems relevant here; I went to a friend's house last night, and he's about 10 years younger than me. He's mid-20s, and a lot of his friends who were over were that age or early 20s. We were listening to songs via YouTube through Roku. Anyway, they would listen to like a verse and chorus and then switch songs. It made me think of 30 second meme videos and the like. I'm not someone who has an issue with them counting because I see that a lot of people proactively listen to a song just to hear the hook and then move on. I don't know if that sort of attention span is healthy or not, but it is what it is at this point.

Interesting.  I suppose this is why streaming is such a draw.  It's less about enjoying the whole song and more about the easy repetition of whatever they like about it or moving onto the next one after getting their hit of "that one part".   Takes a la carte to a crazy level.

Not quite so much. As Choco just mentioned above, the sudden push and surge of it to #1 on Pop, along with other recent singles, is anything but organic. It's earlier rise might have been organic, but not now. Team payola strikes again!

It was all "organic" (I say that with quotations because radio promo is a thing and was definitely heavily used to keep Delicate afloat) until two weeks ago when it stalled to allow Ariana her week at #1. It was on lock to be #1 regardless of this week's push or not.
