“Monster Mash” is outperforming “Thriller” right now on iTunes. I’ve always been more of a MM fan myself. It’s a graveyard SMASH. Did it have any actual hot 100 success? Actually, it should be on the all-time top 600 list, but, I believe in error, it was missed. As you may have seen in an earlier post, Mash went to #1 for two weeks in 1962. But it also briefly recharged in 1968, squeaking onto the top 100 a second time. Then it made the top ten again in 1973! But one song was credited to Bobby (Boris) Pickett, and the latter credited as Bobby "Boris" Pickett. I think the minor difference caused Billboard to mistakenly not merge the 3 runs.

Their archives haven't been working for a few weeks. I thought it was a temporary bug, but every time I've checked back it's still down.

I think that this has to do with Billboard trying to put paywalls on their genre charts. It has worked before they required a paid subscription but hasn’t since then. The archive used to just state the songs that were at number one on a given week, which one can find through sources like Wikipedia, so it isn’t anything too important.

Here is my chart related discord server. I'm hesitant to post this here bc y'all don't know how to act but here: discord.gg/NCWw4QuIt has no affiliation to the Pulse discord server or anything like that. It's just a place to discuss all sorts of charts. Spread the word and if you/someone you know loves charts, there u go

So Futsal Shuffle 2020 opened on Spotify with 2,500,000 listens in one day & it has a dance tied to it. So safe to say its defiantly going to number one the week after the Circles/Lucid Dreams/All I Want For Christmas Is You battle.

^Sadly Lucid Dreams won’t be going number one. But I at least want it to break the record for the highest re entry. That would be cool.

Lol. Respectable? He’s smuggling drugs and weapons on a plane. Murderer by selling drugs to people and probably killed people with those weapons. We don’t need burdens on society like him. Thank god he’s gone. Independently of the actions a human being has done, it's distasteful to be grateful that someone is gone, so you're not longer being able to post in this forum. Enjoy your ban. Oof, straight to permabanned status! We love to see it.

Look, everyone. These threads are to discuss the chart week. Pulse is a huge forum and there is a bunch of other boards. I recommend that you guys branch out and see what else this forum offers. It probably has what most of you are looking for. The most distracting thing in this thread has been you, though i am queen of distraction

I don't know the weakest song overall, but SYL/Circles is the weakest in this decade according to fhas.

I could be wrong but Try Again peaked only with AI and that was notably low (88m?? Something like that)

I know Harlem Shake had like 300,000 points or something ridiculous like that

Really?, thats very low. I didnt think anything before 2018 could be that low but Try Again was super weak in points

Try Again is the only one I can think of that isn't from the past few years. Maria Maria maybe?

After all Try Again got #1 the week after Maria Maria ended its #1 run, so it probably had a very weak week im guessing before Try Again beat it. Why did the summer of 2000 have such weak #1s?

Kind of crazy that 2019 has the second most number ones this decade after 2010 even though 37% of the year had one song at #1.
