Billboard Hot 100: 11/17/18

[DJ General]

Congrats to Ariana!

[tanooki]

I mean, chartdata has leaked the entire hot 100 multiple times. Even though it hasn't been confirmed to the public by Billboard, chartdata knows

I wondered how they got that info too. Chartdata must have found a way to access the new Hot 100 before anyone else somehow.

I think the more likely scenario is that someone at Billboard is tipping him off. I've tried for hours to find a way to access the hot 100 before it's out (they post it on the website sometime between 2 and 6 pm MST on Monday but publish it Tuesday) but even though some things show up through Artist Chart History, you can't get the whole thing

I’d say it’s about a guarantee that Without Me and Mo Bamba spend multiple weeks in the top 10.

[tanooki]

Probably, but as of right now, one week is the case

[tallen2001]

Almost all of these were in the top 10 due to a big debut or album bomb as well.

Yes, only Walk It Talk It don't fit in neither these categories.

[tanooki]

Compared to 2017:

Castle on the Hill
Million Reasons
Portland
Sign of the Times
Malibu
Strip That Down
Ready For It

Marshmello and Bastille Each Earn First No. 1 On Pop Songs Chart With 'Happier'

11/12/2018 by Gary Trust

Marshmello & Dan Smith of Bastille
The collab conquers another airplay tally.

Marshmello and Bastille each notch their first No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart, as "Happier" bounds 4-1 on the survey dated Nov. 17.

Masked DJ Marshmello had previously hit a No. 2 high on Pop Songs with "Friends," with Anne-Marie, in August. British alt band Bastille had hit a prior No. 3 high with its breakthrough single "Pompeii" in 2014.

The Pop Songs chart (which in 2017 celebrated its 25th anniversary) measures total weekly plays, as tabulated by Nielsen Music, among its reporting panel of 167 mainstream top 40 stations.

Pop Songs is the latest chart airplay that "Happier" has topped. It spends a fifth week at No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, while a week ago, it reached No. 1 on Alternative Songs.

This week, "Happier" also climbs 9-8 on Adult Pop Songs and debuts at No. 34 on Adult Alternative Songs.

All charts will update tomorrow (Nov. 13) on Billboard.com.

I’m glad Bastille has another hit, even if this song isn’t the greatest.

Dang Breathin missed the top 20. I still have hopes it’ll rise up in the coming weeks. At least Ariana still got a number one and knocked off Girls Like You.

Ariana Grande Achieves First Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 as 'Thank U, Next' Debuts on Top

11/12/2018 by Gary Trust

After appearing on the list since 2013, Grande reigns, landing the first No. 1 debut for a woman since Adele with "Hello."

Ariana Grande scores her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Nov. 17), as "Thank U, Next" rockets onto the chart at No. 1, arriving as the top-streamed and top-selling song of the week.

The track dethrones Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," featuring Cardi B, after seven weeks on top, although the collaboration ties for the second-most weeks spent at No. 1 in the history of the Radio Songs chart.

Let's run down the top 10 of the newest Hot 100, which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Nov. 13).

Grande's First Hot 100 No. 1: "Next," released on Republic Records, is Grande's first Hot 100 No. 1, and the 1,079th in the chart's 60-year history. She previously hit a No. 2 high with "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, in 2014. "Next" also bows as her 11th Hot 100 top 10 and first since "God Is a Woman," which reached No. 8 in September.

Grande reigns at last with her 35th Hot 100 entry. Among Hot 100 chart-topping acts, she ends the longest wait for her first No. 1 (by total chart appearances from a first entry) since Justin Bieber set the mark by earning his first leader with his 47th charted title, "What Do You Mean?," in 2015.

Grande first hit the Hot 100 (debuting at No. 10) on April 13, 2013, with the eventual No. 9-peaking "The Way," featuring Mac Miller.

No. 1 in Streams & Sales: "Next" launches with 55.5 million U.S. streams and 81,000 downloads sold in the week ending Nov. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Notably, the song debuts on the Hot 100 with just over five days of streaming and sales data, as it was released late Saturday, Nov. 3 (as the tracking week for those metrics runs Friday through Thursday). Grande has released two videos for the song so far: an audio clip upon its release and a lyric video Nov. 6.

With "Next," Grande likewise earns her first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart and her fourth leader on Digital Song Sales, after "Problem," for three weeks in 2014; "Bang Bang," with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj (one week, 2014); and "No Tears Left to Cry" (one, this May).

"Next" also drew 11.3 million in all-format radio audience in the week ending Nov. 11.

"God Is a Woman" and "No Tears" are from Grande's third Billboard 200 No. 1 album, Sweetener, which debuted atop the list dated Sept. 1, while "Next" is, as of now, a stand-alone track, with the song's lyrics referencing past relationships with, among others, Big Sean, ex-finance Pete Davidson and the late Miller.

Meme-orable: As for its lyrics, aiding the buzz of "Next" are, specifically, its lines, "One taught me love / One taught me patience / One taught me pain," which have sparked an onslaught of memes.

New at No. 1: "Next" is the 32nd single to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and the first by a female artist in three years, since Adele's "Hello" on the chart dated Nov. 14, 2015.

As noticed by chart-watcher Jake Rivera, "Next" is the fourth No. 1 debut of 2018, tying the record established in 1995, the first year that any single soared in at the summit. "Next" follows prior 2018 No. 1 bows for Childish Gambino's "This Is America" (May 19) and Drake's "Nice for What" (April 21) and "God's Plan" (Feb. 3). The four No. 1 entrances in 1995: Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone," Mariah Carey's "Fantasy," Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" and Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day."

Pop on top, again: As "Next" follows Maroon 5's "Girls," featuring Cardi B, at No. 1, two pop songs have led the Hot 100 in succession for the first time since Jan. 27, when Camila Cabello's "Havana," featuring Young Thug, replaced Ed Sheeran's "Perfect." "Next" also ends a record streak of 42 weeks of No. 1s with at least one credited rapper, from Young Thug (on "Havana") to Cardi B ("Girls" and "I Like It," with Bad Bunny and J Balvin). The run also included Drake ("Plan," "Nice" and "In My Feelings"); Childish Gambino ("America"); Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign ("Psycho"); and, XXXTentacion ("Sad!").

As "Girls" drops to No. 2, pop songs rank at Nos. 1 and 2 on the Hot 100 in the same week for the first time since Jan. 27 ("Havana" and "Perfect," respectively).

No. 1 is a woman: Grande is the first female soloist to top the Hot 100 unaccompanied by another act since Cardi B on Oct. 21, 2017, when her debut hit "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" spent its third and final week at No. 1.

Solo women in lead roles have led the Hot 100 for just three weeks (of 46 total so far) in 2018, thanks to "Next," "I Like It" and "Havana." That follows totals of six weeks in 2017 (via two No. 1s); 16 in 2016 (three No. 1s); 10 in 2015 (four No. 1s); 28 in 2014 (five No. 1s); and, 17 in 2013 (four No. 1s).

The last year in which lead solo women logged as few as three weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100? 1975, thanks to one each for Linda Ronstadt ("You're No Good"), Olivia Newton-John ("Have You Never Been Mellow") and Minnie Riperton ("Lovin' You"). (After the Hot 100's Aug. 4, 1958, inception, no lead solo women reigned until June 27, 1960, when Connie Francis spent her first of two weeks on top with "Everybody's Somebody's Fool.")

'Thank's for the memories: Grande is thankful for the fourth Hot 100 No. 1 that includes "thank" in its title, following "Thank God I Found You," by Carey featuring Joe and 98 Degrees (2000), "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," by John Denver (1975), and "Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin"/"Everybody Is a Star," by Sly & The Family Stone (1970).

(Grande's new No. 1 also takes over as the highest-charting Hot 100 hit to begin with "Thank U"; Alanis Morissette's "Thank U" reached No. 17 in 1998. The only other such title? "Thank U Very Much" by The Scaffold, a No. 69 hit in 1968. You're welcome for that trivia ...)

More Grande: Beyond the Hot 100's top 10, Grande's "Woman" holds at No. 20 and fellow Sweetener single "Breathin" charges 32-21, passing its prior No. 22 peak; following the Nov. 7 premiere of its official video, "Breathin" bounds by 64 percent to 12.2 million streams by 118 percent to 12,000 sold in the week ending Nov. 8 and claims the Hot 100's top Streaming and Sales Gainer awards.

"Next" easily outperformed Maroon 5's "Girls" in the tracking week, as the latter drops to No. 2 on the Hot 100 after seven weeks at No. 1. Still, "Girls" leads Radio Songs for a 16th week, with 109.3 million in audience (down 4 percent), tying for the second-longest No. 1 run in the chart's 28-year history. "Girls" matches the longest Radio Songs reign this century, equaling Carey's 16-week command with "We Belong Together" in 2005.

Here is an updated look at the longest-leading Radio Songs No. 1 since the chart launched in December 1990:

Longest-Leading Radio Songs No. 1s
Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Date Reached No. 1
18, "Iris," Goo Goo Dolls, Aug. 1, 1998
16, "Girls Like You," Maroon 5 feat. Cardi B, Aug. 4, 2018
16, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, May 28, 2005
16, "Don't Speak," No Doubt, Dec. 7, 1996
14, "No One," Alicia Keys, Nov. 3, 2007
14, "Because You Loved Me," Celine Dion, April 13, 1996

Below "Next" and "Girls," Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode" drops to No. 3 from its No. 2 Hot 100 peak, as it posts a third week at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts; Marshmello and Bastille's "Happier" dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 Hot 100 high, while logging an eighth week atop Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and becoming each act's first No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart; and, Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" descends 4-5 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Halsey's "Without Me" hits a new high, jumping 9-6; Post Malone's "Better Now" falls 5-7, after hitting No. 3; Kodak Black's "ZEZE," featuring Scott and Offset, backtracks 6-8 after debuting at its No. 2 peak; Sheck Wes' debut hit "Mo Bamba" rises 10-9, reaching a new best rank; and, Lil Baby and Gunna's "Drip Too Hard" retreats to No. 10 after hitting No. 4.

[Mayman]

Very happy for Ariana

[lazer]

Amazing debut for Ariana!

[renaboss]

"thank u, next" is the 100th #1 hit of the decade.

And to think when "Girls Like You" became the 99th we had no possible way of guessing which song the 100th would be. Cute.

[Gary]

#1 Radio Girls Like You 109.3 --- 16th week
#1 Digital Thank U, Next 81,000
#1 Streaming Thank U, Next 55.5

[Gary]

Out of 1079 #1 hits in the Hot 100 era only 3% have debuted at the top

[Zach]

So happy for Ariana :). Such a talented artist who has worked hard over the years. Great seeing her get to #1 with a song which is so personal to her.

[jebsib]

Interesting stat, Renaboss -

For comparison, the 100th #1 of the 2000's was Souljah Boy's Crank That, in late 2007;
So we are slightly behind in terms of turnover this decade.

The 1990's got to 100 #1s sometime in 1996.

[Mayman]

Gary Would you happen to know the last time the #1 was at the top of the Streaming, Radio, and Sales charts at the same time?

[Gary]

I won't be able to post that til tonight - at work now - database is at home. In the meantime, someone might be able to beat me to it.

[tanooki]

GLY only at #2? Jesus fucking christ...
