75 Years Ago, the First Billboard Country Chart Debuted, With 'Pistol Packin' Mama' at No. 1, With a Bullet
1/8/2019 by Jim Asker , Gary Trust
Donaldson Collection/Getty Images The Andrews Sisters perform with Bing Crosby in a scene from the movie "The Road To Rio" which was released in 1947. The song became a World War ll-era favorite.
On Jan. 8, 1944, Billboard published its first version of a country songs chart, with multiple recordings of "Pistol Packin' Mama" leading the then-named Most Played Juke Box Folk Records list.
The chart was subtitled "Hillbillies, Spirituals, Cowboy Songs, etc." and ranked "the most popular Folk records on automatic phonographs thruout [sic] the nation."
Three interpretations of the song showed atop the inaugural tally, by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters; Al Dexter, the song's writer; and Don Baxter.
"Mama" became a wartime anthem, with many U.S. troops christening their fighter planes, cannons and tanks "Mama." Notably, a group of female fighter pilots, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), decorated their B-17 bomber after the song.
"Mama" has also been recorded by several other acts, including Tex Ritter and Frank Sinatra, while the 1943 New York Yankees reportedly sang the song in their clubhouse after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
The Andrews Sisters, consisting of Patty, LaVerne and Maxene, were royalty during the 1940s, scoring their signature hit in 1941 with "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." They received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987.
Meanwhile, Crosby's 1942 classic "White Christmas" returns each year. The carol from the late legend of stage, screen and song rose to No. 34 on Jan. 5-dated Billboard Hot 100, marking its highest rank since 1962.
As for the evolution of Billboard's country charts, a country song sales survey joined the juke box tally in 1948 and a disc jockey ranking followed in 1949, ahead of the all-encompassing Hot C&W Sides chart in 1958. Top Country Albums premiered in 1964; the Nielsen Music-powered Country Airplay chart launched in 1990; and Hot Country Songs adopted its current airplay-, streaming- and sales-based methodology in 2012.

I thought Ariana was considered white. Same with Halsey. At least the black community views them as white passing. Oh well.
Lmao Ariana is white, she's Italian.
Halsey is in the same situation as Logic, where she's white but I guess her father was black and her mother was white so technically she's biracial? I don't understand how all that stuff works.
Anyways, I think the statement from Kelly Price is stupid since last year's #1's were mostly by people of color, 3 of which were by women of color.
#2000andlate here but 1) it really should have been obvious that Fat Ass Kelly Price's comment was a joke - people have been having a light laugh on social media about Ariana's darker tan for a few months now; and 2) even if he was serious [and mistaken], I don't know why 2018 having mostly artists of color at #1 would mean one can't call it a slay if the following year starts off on the same foot. That is a false equivalence you could have kept to yourself. Thanks for the much needed reminder to not bring black community jokes in a white space tho. Y'all always kill the kii.

On a couple of notes about the Hot 100, surprisingly Girls Like You re-entry into the top 10 with a bullet was due to its rebound in Streaming Songs (47-14 with a bullet) rather than Digital Song Sales (21-16 with no bullet) and Radio Songs (6-6 with no bullet).
And I found out there's such a thing as the Baby Shark Challenge which probably accounts for a good part of Baby Shark rising 44-16 in Streaming Songs.

^A couple of other things I noticed about those 2 charts: 14 songs re-entered the Hot 100, while 25 re-entered Streaming Songs. I wonder if those could be records.

GLY doesn't have a bullet on the radio chart but it gained ~8.7M last week.

Halsey 'Speechless' After 'Without Me' Hits No. 1 on Hot 100: 'Thank You Guys For Everything'
1/7/2019 by Rania Aniftos
Halsey claimed her first No. 1 in a lead role on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday (Jan. 7) with her deeply personal tune "Without Me." Her first appearance in general atop the chart was 2016's smash collab with the Chainsmokers, "Closer," which spent 12 weeks at the summit.
The songstress took to Twitter to express excitement and gratitude over the accomplishment, noting that she is "speechless." "this song came out of a very lonely place and the past few weeks have showed me just how loved and supported i could be," she continued. "thank you guys for everything. i don’t even know what to say."

"i really need a sec to collect myself so i can properly express my gratitude...i’m so confused?¿ and happy?¿ thank you." She also reacted to the fact that "Without Me" is Capitol Records' first Hot 100 chart topper since Katy Perry's 2014 hit, "Dark Horse."
"holy f**k," she simply replied. See below.
