Apparently, Lil Baby's "Close Friends" stayed this week, and got a huge boost! And got 31 weeks in the chart with a peak of #28, really impressive.

Wasn't it because it went top 50 on Spanish radio? Shhh don't destroy their fantasies. Actually it also seemed to have gotten a second wind on pop radio too out of nowhere when it was getting losses just last week. Wednesday, May 29 on pop 7 7 TAYLOR SWIFT ME! f/Brendon Urie 11597 11916 -319 54.955 Tuesday, June 4 on pop 7 7 TAYLOR SWIFT ME! f/Brendon Urie 12379 11577 802 57.430 |

How awesome would it be if it's Imagine Dragons' record. The Evolve era + Natural's Teenage Dream of this era in sales. I know, I charted it out. |

Good for you for charting it out My post is still true though. 85 was the record for the digital songs chart until this week So was 85 crazy? No one else had done it til now? |

That is fine - I wasn't. I mistakenly thought I was being helpful by pointing out a new record this week - guess not. Not intending for this to be anything else than 'oh yeah by the way a new record was set this week'. No debate, no argument. We can discard my comment and move on it if it is causing a problem.
On the published digital songs sales charts no song has reached 86 weeks until now. Record of note? Is it important? No one will write about it. This chart has lost its relevance in recent years. No one will write about it, in the streaming era, no one cares that much.

^Regarding OTR, what percent is even memes at this point anyway? Airplay and sales are both huge, and I'm guessing the majority of streaming is actually the original/remix or the video as opposed to just memes. This song is just an insane monster. Does anyone have its week-by-week ratio over the #2 song?(Also, it's fascinating to me that if it wasn't for OTR, this year would by far have the fastest #1 turnover and highest proportion of pop #1s than we've seen in probably a decade.) Week 1 - April 13 - 1.016:1 points lead over Sunflower Week 2 - April 20 - 3.459:1 points lead over Sunflower Week 3 - April 27 - 3.038:1 points lead over Wow. Week 4 - May 4 - 2.947:1 points lead over Wow. Week 5 - May 11 - 1.138:1 points lead over ME! Week 6 - May 18 - 2.634:1 points lead over If I Can't Have You Week 7 - May 25 - 1.878:1 points lead over I Don't Care Week 8 - June 1 - 3.005:1 points lead over I Don't Care Week 9 - June 8 - 2.937:1 points lead over bad guy I need to wait for HDD's numbers to have a more accurate breakdown of OTR's lead this week. For this week, I used the 10M streams that I underestimed for OTR as YouTube streams and did the same with the 200k streams that I overestimated for bad guy. It's just my estimation, but I think it's accurate. Thank you so much! So, already 6 weeks with more than double the #2 song. Crazy. |

In 2019 alone, five new non-holiday country songs have debuted on the list, compared to just two in all of 2018.
Don't look now, but country music is having a bit of a moment on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart.
The June 8 tally sees a pair of debuts from the genre, led by Blake Shelton's "God's Country," which debuts at No. 39 with 13.5 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen Music. Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses" bows at No. 41 (12.8 million).
The tracks are the fourth and fifth new non-holiday country songs to make the list in 2019, all occurring before the halfway point of the year.
To compare: In 2018, two non-classic country songs debuted on Streaming Songs the entire year. The year before, three debuted, with one of them stretching its chart run into 2018.
2016? Two. 2015? Three.
That means that in 2019, country music is already on pace to have its best year ever on the Streaming Songs chart, which began in 2013. After multiple years of sitting behind the eight ball with regards to streaming versus, say, hip-hop and pop music, the genre is becoming able to take more of a share of the top-performing songs at streaming services.
And thus far at least, it's doing so without major crossover hits. Of the five country songs to hit Streaming Songs in 2019, only Dan + Shay's "Speechless" has had a marked presence on pop radio, reaching No. 11 on the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart in early May. The others -- Shelton and Wallen's, plus a pair of Luke Combs tunes, "Beautiful Crazy" and "Beer Never Broke My Heart" -- have been country-only hits to date. And while "Speechless" and "Beautiful" have already reached No. 1 on Country Airplay, followed by "Whiskey Glasses" on the June 8 list, both "God's Country" and "Beer" are still climbing Country Airplay, meaning there could very well be something left in the tank for both.
Compare that to 2018, when Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" was a smash on pop radio in addition to country, while Dan + Shay's "Tequila" reached the top 10 of Adult Pop Songs. Only Kane Brown's "Heaven," which led Country Airplay for two weeks in May 2018, didn't experience notable crossover success, something Brown replicated in 2017, when his "What Ifs," featuring Lauren Alaina, also reached Streaming Songs without making a significant dent at pop.
With country finding more success in its biggest hits accumulating stream counts that can compete with pop and hip-hop juggernauts, the genre is setting its sights on 2014, when six country songs reached Streaming Songs. Then it's on to 2013, when seven dotted the list.
It certainly seems doable. After all, in 2015, the overall share for country in terms of on-demand streams in the U.S. was 4.5%. That number has grown gradually each year since, rising to 5.7% in 2018, the share at which the genre currently stands thus far in 2019.
And then? Perhaps the focus will shift to a chart milestone of a different type. Just one country song has ever reached the top 10 of Streaming Songs: Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise," which peaked at No. 9 in 2013.
