I don't know why people always bring up "Girls Like You" as an example of that. Was it not also a smash on sales and streaming? I'm not looking for an answer, I already know it's yes. I'm being rhetorical. Like, sure, all three components didn't line up "perfectly" like some other recent hits, but that doesn't negate the fct it was, indeed, a hit on all three components, and actually still relatively high on all three while it was number one and for many weeks afterwards. Y'all act like it was literally only charting on radio and that was the only reason it ever went number one and had such great longevity. What kind of revisionist history? I hate "Girls Like You" as much as the next guy, but not enough to falsify information about it. Goodness. By the time it had reached #1, it was the case that radio was holding it up. First week at #1 vs. last week at #1. It was really only being bolstered by radio and YouTube, but it was still extremely weak for a #1. But that's not what people are saying. I've seen multiple times people saying "Girls Like You" was only #1 because of radio when that just isn't true. Was it the highest factor? Yes, I'm not denying that. However, it was still top ten on digital sales all but one week and top 20 on streaming all seven weeks of the song's run at number one. People were not passively listening to it on radio, radio was not the only thing keeping it alive, and the fact that it was weak doesn't mean anything. If it was a weak #1, then all other 99 positions were weak as well. You can't say "In My Feelings" deserved more weeks at #1 because "Girls Like You" only got to #1 because it was a weak time. That doesn't make any sense. The chart has always included radio and will for a very, very long time. Even if the Hot 100 was solely sales and streaming, "Girls Like You" still would have been a massive hit and everyone here likes to act like that's not the case. It's just frustrating to see people who supposedly care so much about the charts and talk about the charts all the time get all up in their feeling because a song they don't like is doing well. Surely there are much more pressing issues in y'all's lives that you don't need to be trying to erase how successful a song was to better fit your narrative of a music chart. Like, I get "Girls Like You" was #1 because its points in radio made up the gap that "In My Feelings" had above it in streaming, but doesn't that just show that "In My Feelings" was also weak and not representative of what people were listening to? If not enough people are seeking out a song on streaming to make up a gap that people are hearing on the radio, then it doesn't deserve to be #1. The Hot 100 has never and will never be a chart of what people are listening to. That's not the point of the Hot 100. The point of the Hot 100 is to show which songs are the most popular in the industry and that includes radio as a viable and important metric. As long as millions of people are listening to radio to consume music, that fact will not change. We can argue day and night about how the weighting on everything should be, but in the end, all of the arguments are moot. Especially passive vs active listening for several reasons. First off, because again, the chart is not supposed to reflect what people are listening to. The various streaming charts serve that purpose if that's what you're into. Second off, we have zero way of knowing just how many people are actively listening to the radio, switching stations as a song they don't like comes on, just as we have zero way of knowing how many people are streaming passively. We can get close, sure, because of On-Demand versus "Passive" services like Pandroa, but who's to say thousands of people just aren't putting Today's Top Hits on and letting whatever is on it play while they do something else. Hell, I have one of my own playlists going right now as I type this, so I drift in and out of passively and actively listening to it. Streaming is never going to 100% tell you what people are actively listening to versus passively. Radio is very much the same way. We really need to get away from this idea that radio is bad and not as important as streaming and sales because the reality is quite different. Does it have the listener base and supreme power to create hit songs that it did in the past? No, but that doesn't mean it's not still important in the industry. Because it actually still does have a huge listener base and still has the ability to introduce people to new music. |

Surely there are much more pressing issues in y'all's lives that you don't need to be trying to erase how successful a song was to better fit your narrative of a music chart. I think the reason people use the "passive radio" claim a lot is because I find it hard to think of another reason for GLYs longevity on the radio charts. 36-19-15-10-7-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-3-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-6-6-6-7-7-7-8-11-16-17-17-16-18-16-18-20-21 What else would you call a chart run like this besides people passively listening to it on radio. Also, to your point about "the fact that it was a weak #1 doesn't mean anything" uhh it does. thank u, next and Girls Like You both spent the same amount of weeks at #1 yet I bet you most people would say TUN was a much more memorable song, especially at its peak. Also all 99 other positions probably were weak, that period of time saw one of the weakest top 10s of the entire decade. Girls Like You would not be a massive hit without radio, it would be a decent sized, mid-tier hit with YouTube backing up a good chunk of its chart points. It's kinda hard to erase the chart success of GLY when my predictions literally have it as a top 5 hit for the entire decade and top 25 for all time. It's just not deserved considering its real points are much lower than its inverse points. |

Why is passive listening to GLY on radio worse than people passively listening to In My Feelings on Spotify autogenerated playlists? Cuz the majority of drake streams aren't from Spotify |

This explains why chart performance doesn't always equal how huge or memorable a song is. I think some of you forgot a song's position on chart doesn't necessarily show how big it is.

Girls Like You
- Only song in the Streaming Era to reach #1 with more than 50% of its points coming from radio;
- Only Hot 100 #1 to not rank in the top 10 in streaming during one or more weeks of its reign (it was #19 in one of those seven weeks at #1 - LMAO);
- Only #1 to sell less than 15k (7th week at #1) this decade;
If this is not radio carrying the song to #1, then nothing is.
I love Maroon 5 and I like Cardi B, I just don't get why people always bring "memes" here like that's a bad thing when we all know some of the strongest #1s of the decade were "meme-driven".
...And that's all for my meme vs. radio speech!

Why is passive listening to GLY on radio worse than people passively listening to In My Feelings on Spotify autogenerated playlists? Because In My Feelings only lasted 14 weeks in the top 10 and 24 weeks overall, it won't even make the Decade End List for the 2010s. Once the meme was over, it was over. Girls Like You spent a full year on the charts and tied the record for weeks in the top 10. You can't compare these two songs. Also, Girls Like You is currently #21 on radio and In My Feelings is... 190 on Spotify. Bad comparison. |

If this is accurate then Talk will be the 6th song that’s reached #2 since Old Town Road hit #1
I know people say this a lot, but just imagine the insane turnover the charts would be having if Old Town Road wasn’t there

I have a theory as to how Old Town Road is remaining so huge. Young kids love it, it doesn't really go anywhere as a song (it seems like little more than a loop to me), so kids just keep it on repeat. I have to think it's something like that, because people actually liking that song so much makes me so depressed about the current state of the music listening public... Or it’s just a fun harmless song? 🤷♀️ This post alone shows you’ve given it more thought to why than was necessary. It helps to relax sometimes. #SelfCare Yeah i'm not exactly upset about it in a literal sense. I just think it's a pretty...meh song, and when I see it quadrupling the points of the #2 song for weeks on end, I just sort of sigh and wonder what everyone is thinking. I guess...they are not really wanting to think and the song goes down like McDonald's french fries. |

I just think it's a pretty...meh song, and when I see it quadrupling the points of the #2 song for weeks on end, I just sort of sigh and wonder what everyone is thinking. I guess...they are not really wanting to think and the song goes down like McDonald's french fries. Well you have to put it in the context of how music has changed. A lot of people who like it don’t even think of it as a song, per se. |

Final Predictions --- TOP 10 --- June 15, 2019
Turns out Cardi DO need press lol I'm not tracking Press, but it's probably debuting in the top 20 (I'm not saying that #16-20 is good for Cardi B). It's just that I track songs that have a real chance to reach top 10 (Truth Hurts), songs that are easy to track (God's Country) and songs that are stable in the top 20/25 (Happier). This week, I even added a 20th song in my Excel sheet because the turnover rate has been really fast in recent weeks. |

Psycho was really lucky it even got to #1 at all. The competition was fierce (look at #3 and #4 for future #1s in the making, and I think NFW would return to the top spot again).

I guess...they are not really wanting to think and the song goes down like McDonald's french fries. I wouldn't consider the song to be the musical equivalent of fast food at all. That's what Maroon 5 and many of the big name pop stars tend to be to varying degrees. This song would be country/rap fusion. It's not exactly easy listening. And it's not to everyone's taste but enough for people to be curious to try it and surprisingly like it. |

Given there are no major movers in the top ten it’s possible the entire top ten could be static this week if the predictions are even slightly off.

It's crazy how big of a smash "Poker Face" was, "Bad Romance" for some reason wasn't as big (not just in the US, even worldwide "Bad Romance" had a smaller peak and less longevity than "Poker Face" which surprised me) |
