Billboard Hot 100 : 9/8/18

[Deleted]

6IX9INE dropped a Latin Song with Anuel AA. Y'all see it doing well? Nothing groundbreaking, but it's interesting to see him doing a Latin song which theoretically has the potential to be huge, as he's able to target new audiences 

[Gary]

Easy remember too

BEBE instead of FEFE

[DJ General]

Props to Em for rebounding so quickly after Revival, which was a massive misstep for multiple reasons, with an album that’s (supposedly) quite solid.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

First KEKE then FEFE now BEBE what’s next PEPE?

[Deleted]

Hope GIAW can become a streaming hit so it can stay in the top ten, I'd also love for Nonstop to return as well

[Keelzit]

I listened to the cow song a few hours ago and loved it. The fact that it was intentionally made for meme culture might not help it blow up the way it should though.

[iHype.]

I'm a bit late but why didn't Billboard also update the All-Time Billboard 200?

Aug. 17, 1963 is the date when Billboard's two separate pop album charts for stereo and mono recordings joined to become one all-encompassing weekly chart.

They consider the start date of Billboard 200 August 17, 1963; which two weeks ago marked the 55th anniversary. A fitting reason to also update its all-time charts.

-
A shame God's Plan just missed being on the updated all-time Hot 100 by a few weeks, and now has to wait until the next update.

[Gary]

I don't know if this helps or is relevant but in 1963 the album chart was not 200 positions it was 150. The first top 200 chart didn't happen until May 1967

HEHE

[Golden Bluebird]

Welp, the updates are all at +0.000 again...

[kierz7]

Eminem's "Lucky You" debuts at #1 on Spotify U.S.A with '2.638.639' streams. He also has 5 other songs in the top 10.

Ironically, "Lucky You" is at #2 on Apple Music and ITunes whereas "The Ringer" is #2 on Spotify and #1 on ITunes.

If "Lucky You" or "The Ringer" hold up well throughout the next week (and either doesn't freefall; we don't know how frontloaded "Kamikaze" may be)...

Eminem could secure the next Hot 100 #1.

This would be a surefire surprise, but good for him for doing a surprise release and this time releasing a genuine Alt/Hip-Hop album unlike the awful tragedy that was "Revival".

[jtd Thee Stallion]

If Sicko Mode couldn’t debut any higher than it did with its first week streams then Eminem definitely isn’t

[owenlovesmusic]

omg i really hope em gets another #1. For him to go to Revival to a #1 single in 8 months would be crazy.

[hot100predictions]

I doubt Eminem will get a #1 with Kamikaze either, I mean he will likely secure a song or two in the top 10 next week (Lucky You + The Ringer) but I just don't see a #1 at least short-term for him unfortunately.

[amore]

Who knows tho? This week has been slow so Eminem might be the next #1. I just want Post malone to release his music video.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

HUGE numbers for Eminem (who's 20 years in the music industry), all songs in the top 20.

[lazer]

I am just amazed on how Em stepped up after that horrible "Revival" album.

[Choco]

Eminem apparently took a much bigger level of creative control with this project. He was pretty lazy with the whole Revival album so I'm guessing the critics gave him enough energy to try and prove them wrong. I'm guessing the Venom track will get pushed as a single?

[amore]

It is Eminem so i expect some longevity. It also has some controversy due to Eminem dissing other white rappers. Who knows? It could be as big as Scorpion.

Can't believe Fefe discounted this early. They should have waited more.

Discounted now or later, Fefe is never hitting #1. Radio is too poor and it's stalled on the streaming end of things. Sales are also really low. It'll hang around the top ten for a while longer and then slowly start to drop.

FeFe was just #1 on the On Demand Chart, not sure what you're talking about.

[DJ General]

Eminem should at least get a Top 10 and a couple Top 20s and a few Top 40s. I'll take it.

[marc980]

It will be interesting to see if Perfect will survive or (finally) going recurrent

[Mayman]

It should survive this week but it might get knocked out by Eminem.

I'm talking about Fefe never hitting #1, which is never happening. Doesn't matter if it remains #1 on On-Demand streaming. It's on-demand streams aren't high enough and it's sales and radio airplay are way too low for it to reach #1. Not when there are other songs like GLY and BN.

You said streams were stalling... it can't go much further than #1 on-demand and #2 overall. #14 on iTunes is not poor, especially for a rap song.

[kcdawg13]

I really thought Eminem was done after Revival, he managed to get two Top 20 songs with the album and I guess River did decently well (mostly thanks to Ed Sheeran). But I thought he couldn't really keep up in the streaming environment as Revival did really poorly on streaming, but I was wrong.

Guess it doesn't matter as long as the album is good. Good for Eminem, dude has been in the industry for more than 20 years and he's still doing well commercially and critically. Kamikaze showcased that he still has it.

[owenlovesmusic]

Just finished Kamikaze full-through for the third time. Like this one a lot. Possibly his best since Encore. I was not a fan of MMLP2 and Recovery.

It isn't doing well enough in all metrics to ever reach #1, that was always my point. When I initially made that post, it wasn't #1 on the On-Demand streams chart. My whole point is that it's streams aren't that high. It's #14 on iTunes like you said and it's really really low on overall radio impressions. Do you see it reaching #1 with the way it's currently performing, because I sure as hell don't and that was my point from the beginning.

He isn't doing well critically, lol. Kamikaze is already at 67 on metacritic off of less than 8 reviews. Will probably drop to 50 or thereabout like Revival did when more reviews roll out starting from Monday. He's still got his potency commercially, though. I'll give him that. Revival was a large misstep and this album, for the most part, is a step in the right direction.
