Billboard Hot 100 : 8/18/18

[Normi]

Nicki and Ari will shake things up hopefully
I really hope Ari can debut 2/3 of sweetener on the Hot 100

As for next #1: Rihanna?

Rihanna is MOST CERTAINLY releasing (a single that is) in September or October the latest.

She's recently just cancelled a trip to the Caribbean to receive an honorary degree from the 'University Of West-Indies' in October due to "scheduling conflicts". She would NEVER do that, especially if it were something peetaining to her homeland, unless it were for extremely important matters which it clearly is.

In all honesty, Rihanna's new era is looking to be as concise as one can be for her since "LOUD".

I can't wait.

I doubt Ari can debut that many songs on the Hot 100. I'm expecting a 100m+ streaming debut though.

And yes, the next #1 will definitely be Rihanna, Drake is just warming up the place.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Barbie Dreams at #2 is the only Nicki song from Queen in the top 15 on Apple Music currently, so yeah I think that’s gonna be the standout track lol.

[lugus15]

In hindsight, too bad that Nonstop didn't reach (or debut) at #1. I'm really getting into it lately, and is much better than God's Plan. The beat is insane.

I can't wait.

Or maybe she wants to promote as Dr Rihanna only when she has an era that matches that image. <3

It's definitely a standout track. Can definitely see it going off when he performs it on tour.

I have to agree. I bashed it quite a lot when it came out but it's grown on me.

Meant to be is holding up incredibly well on radio I'm so proud of her

Meant to be has done surprisingly well. I think part of its success is because it's not a full country song (if that makes sense). The general audience dislikes country, but she found a good mix between pop and country. Combine that with a fun, short, chorus and it's a hit! Although I'm not a huge fan of country myself, I hope we see more songs similar to MTB charting high.

[lazer]

Meant To Be is in my top 3 worst songs of 2018 so far.

fhas I wanted to ask, after making your predictions and coming up with your total points for songs in the top 10, do you run the numbers again after Billboard posts official figures for sales, streams and radio audience impressions with their figures before updating your figures on your year-end chart list or do you just continue with the total points you got from your initial estimates?

I adjust the numbers again (like 5 times haha...). I adjust using Billboard's article, Billboard Chart Beat (they post a lot of interesting data), HDD's Song Revenue Chart (they have the official sales data and a very accurate on-demand streaming estimative) and YouTube Insights (they change their data retroactively and I have to look again because the last update is more accurate).

Sometimes, I adjust numbers from 2-3 weeks ago when I realize that I had a mistake in my predicitons.

Based on Spotify, it looks like Nicki will take a back seat to Trippie Redd next week.

I'm waiting to see just how high her ticket bundles place her, but if we're just going on streaming figures, she might take the backseat to both Trippie Redd AND Travis Scott next week. Her album is doing TERRIBLY on Spotify and it's not surprising considering the fact that there are no redeemable tracks off the thing. Barbie Dreams is only doing well because of all the names she called out on the song. Hasn't even been two full days and the chatter of the album on social media has already gone silent. This has been a really bad era for her.

09 04 Grazing In The Grass - Hugh Masekela
10 06 Hurdy Gurdy Man - Donovan

Timely for 1968, and perhaps just as timely today, The Rascals' "People Got To Be Free," was written at least in part, as a reaction to the continuing violence of that year and specifically the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King in April.  The song simply asks, just as Rodney King did some 24 years later after the LA riots, "Can't we all just get along?".  This message took on an even greater sense of urgency and poignancy after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968.

The Rascals are simply asking society why can't it be a little more tolerant and accepting, and allow people the freedom to be themselves.  It is a message that has just as much relevance today, as it did 50 years ago; when The Rascals took "People Got To Be Free" to the top of the Billboard chart.
