I hope the prediction for delicate is wrong

Hopefully delicate can get top 10 next week😊

I didn’t realize “My All” spent so many weeks in the top 10; it didn’t debut and then fall quick. This is at least 10 weeks, right? How many did it get in total?

I didn't remember it having that much longevity either but it stayed in the top 10 for quite a few weeks. It's probably, statistically speaking, the biggest hit from Butterfly.

This was its 12th and final week in the top 10.  Fell to #18 the following week. Went on to spend its 20th week at #51 and then went recurrent.

Yup - 12 weeks in the top 10 (and only 1 week at #1)

Weird to think the last single of the era was the biggest hit - that must not happen often.

Wow! It's surprising that with a chart run like that, it ended up making the decade end chart at #99 (and the only one from the Butterfly era to make the decade end chart, despite Honey spending more weeks at #1!)

There were hits that spent 19 weeks in the top 10 like 702's "Where My Girls At?" and they never made the decade end chart... I feel like the 90s decade chart had a weirder methodology than the 2000s decaade chart.

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.

I don't understand quite what you're saying. Why would they stall promotion to "let" Ariana be #1 last week. Wouldn't they want Taylor to be #1 as soon as and as long as possible? And if you're saying it was on lock to be #1 regardless of this week's push, why give it this extra push at all? And how is a timed surge in promotion to get a song #1 "organic."

Better Now is coming for #1

If that point spread is correct, we are a few weeks away from being a few weeks away from a new #1

The 90s decade-end methodology made absolutely no sense....

I would think they just used chart runs un-weighted, since the highest 1990/1991 song (pre-Soundscan, quicker charts) was only #37. [Everything I Do]
But Macarena clearly had a much bigger chart run than One Sweet Day, and is ranked second to it. 

How Do I Live is also #12 on the decade-end, and I Swear is #9. Yet How Do I Live is #4 on the All-Time Hot 100, and I Swear is #93....

[iHype.]

Also, it's worth noting the 90s Decade-End was compiled so badly even Billboard now disregards it.

They recreated a 90s decade-end based on the same way they compile decade/all-time charts now.

The Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 Hits of the 1990s
1. "How Do I Live" - LeAnn Rimes
2. "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)" - Los Del Rio
3. "Un-Break My Heart" - Toni Braxton
4. "Foolish Games/You Were Meant For Me" - Jewel
5. "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" - Bryan Adams
6. "I'll Make Love To You" - Boyz II Men
7. "Too Close" - Next
8. "One Sweet Day" - Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
9. "Truly Madly Deeply" - Savage Garden
10. "Candle In The Wind 1997/Something About The Way You Look Tonight" - Elton John
11. "End Of The Road" (From Boomerang) - Boyz II Men
12. "The Sign" - Ace Of Base
13. "The Boy Is Mine" - Brandy and Monica
14. "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" - Stevie B
15. "Whoomp! (There It Is)" - Tag Team
16. "Rush Rush" - Paula Abdul
17. "You're Still The One" - Shania Twain
18. "I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston
19. "Gangsta's Paradise" (From Dangerous Minds) - Coolio Featuring L.V.
20. "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Sinead O'Connor

[Gary]

That isn't new


That is 4 years old

Yes they now use the same point system for all all-time lists

When the 1994 100th anniversary list, 1998 40th anniversary Hot 100 list and 1990s decade end list were done, they were still not weighting by era

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. Since they did the 50th Anniversary Hot 100 chart, they've applied pretty much the same position based inverse point methodology with some weighing factors for hits from certain eras as has been shown in the 2010s decade-end Hot 100 prediction thread to all decade-end and all-time Hot 100.

Whatever methodology they used when the 1990s decade-end Hot 100 was published, I don't think anybody was able to figure out what methodology they actually used, but it made no sense whatsoever where songs ended up there.

[Gary]

It looks like an equally weighted inverse point system was used in 1994,1998 and 1999 which would make all the 90s long runners right at the top

[hot100predictions]

I can see I Might Need Security debuting top 40, maybe top 30 on the 8/4 chart. And FEFE debuting in the top 20 next week (8/4).

The "WHY" is simple: Republic is pushing both records, so AG went first obviously (and to clear the decks for GIAW release), then Delicate. This is standard practice on Country radio "Max Spins!" - it seems to have moved over to Pop. Several of us called it on the Delicate thread during the 'stall.'

Yeah, but it was only the second physical single released from the album in the U.S., and thus only the second song eligible to chart. They released a couple other airplay-only singles, Butterfly and Breakdown.

Oh that makes sense, didn't realize Republic was pushing both records. Yeah I agree this seems to be a trend migrating to pop, but still don't see how these pushes and quick turnovers at #1 are "organic," if that was what was implied.
