With streaming still increasing even at week 14, the Despacito record will most certainly fall at this point.

Wrong, BRC was given credit for that 1st week at #1

I mean, sure, the Billboard charts online might list him, but that’s just because they’re seemingly incapable of listing two versions of a song different weeks. The BRC remix didn’t exist on OTR’s first week at number one, so it’s impossible for BRC to be credited for that week. A similar but opposite situation is with Perfect. Beyoncé doesn’t show up on the chart online if you look at Perfect’s first few weeks at #1 now, but she’s still considered credited for 5/6 #1 weeks, even if the online chart doesn’t reflect that.

Even though the remix didnt exist during the 1st week, Billboard did go and retroactively add his name to it. I was the one who caught it (they did it a day after it was released)

"As on the Hot 100, "Road" (on Columbia Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a 14th week, with 89.3 million U.S. streams, up 1%, in the week ending July 4, according to Nielsen Music."

Did Despacito and/or Uptown Funk gain in any metric in their 14th week?

[dajross6]

1.9 to 1 ratio in week 14? LOL.

It will take an Adele debut to prevent the record, or perhaps even 18-20 weeks. It's increasing in the strongest metric. That's unreal.

No, but they didn't lose much.

UpTown Funk!: -2k sales, -7.0M airplay, -400k streams
Despacito: -2k sales, -6.4M airplay, -400k streams
Old Town Road: -2k sales, -6.7M airplay, +600k streams

Fun fact: all the three songs to spent 14+ weeks at #1 this decade lost exactly 2k downloads in its 14th week at #1.

[Enigma.]

Ok so with those user generated streams still that high, OTR will spend 30 weeks at number one.

People like fhas can correct me if I'm wrong, but sales and streaming alone would've given OTR a #1 spot this week so all that airplay is extra.

[fhas]

Also, I'm so happy with my formula! Last week, I had OTR with a 1.8:1 lead over Señorita and that's the exact lead according to BB's article.

[Az Paynter]

I knew America's quality control crapped out years ago (see: Trump) but this is ridiculous.

I have a screenshot saved of it in its first week at #1 from before Billy Ray Cyrus was credited, when it was just listed as Lil Nas X solo. I would have to dig around to find that picture though.

[Mayman]

Where is Sicko Mode?

[Enigma.]

Very old Post Malone track doing better on Hot 100 than a new Drake track.

[reputainbow]

yeah, i'm pretty certain old town road is going to beat the record now. the fact that it has such a huge lead still is ridiculous. it's probably aiming for 18-20 weeks at #1, since i see no signs of anything big challenging it (for now).

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

This is amazing!! Each week makes me more and more nervous but you gotta have faith faith faith.

[noober]

Sunflower is f**king immortal!

[jayhawk1117]

So this is our longest running number one here in the states (barring some insane debut). . dissaponted but not shocked

Substantial radio airplay and a boost for the song with the film being added on Nextflix will do that for you. Call it the Shallow effect.

Whitney Houston Earns First Hot 100 Debut in 10 Years With Kygo Collab 'Higher Love'

7/8/2019 by Gary Trust

Whitney Houston performs at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on July 20, 1993.
The remake of Steve Winwood's 1986 No. 1 is Houston's first posthumous entrance.

Whitney Houston charts her first posthumous debut on the Billboard Hot 100, as "Higher Love" with Kygo enters at No. 63.

The song (billed as by Kygo X Whitney Houston and released on RCA Records) reworks Steve Winwood's anthem, which topped the Hot 100 dated Aug. 30, 1986. The Whitney Houston estate offered Kygo the archival recording of her original cover, which was previously released as a Japan-only bonus track on the physical version of her 1990 album I'm Your Baby Tonight.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. All charts (dated July 13) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (July 9).

The remake also enters the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (which employs the same methodology as the Hot 100) at No. 2. It launches at No. 4 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales survey with 24,000 first-week downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music, while sporting 6.6 million U.S. streams and 1.3 million airplay audience impressions.

Houston died on Feb. 11, 2012, at age 48. "Higher Love" marks her first Hot 100 debut since "Million Dollar Bill" spent a week at No. 100 on Sept. 19, 2009. In between, Houston last appeared on the Hot 100 just after her passing, led by her 14-week 1992-93 No. 1 "I Will Always Love You," which spent three weeks on the chart, at Nos. 7, 3 and 30 over three weeks in February and March 2012. Her 1987 No. 1 "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" also returned in 2012, reaching No. 25, as did her 1986 leader "How Will I Know" (No. 49).

Overall, "Higher Love" marks Houston's 40th charted Hot 100 title. She boasts 11 No. 1s, the seventh-best sum in the chart's six-decade history, among 23 top 10s.

Kygo collects his sixth Hot 100 hit (all collaborations with vocalists). He has risen highest with "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez (No. 10, May 2017).

"We knew Kygo would be the right producer to enhance Whitney's vocal performance on 'Higher Love' to the standards and expectations that [her] fans have recognized for over three decades," said Houston's sister-in-law Pat Houston in a statement. "The resurgence of this archival performance will carry Whitney's musical legacy to a younger generation. [It's] a testament to Kygo's incredible talent, and a reminder of why we fell in love with Whitney."

"I saw the email about if I could make this work, and I ran to my studio and tried to produce around this amazing vocal," Kygo subsequently told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a collaboration I never thought was going to happen, so I just had to make it as good as I can."

Winwood wrote "Higher Love" with Will Jennings, who has now co-penned two Houston Hot 100 hits: her "Didn't We Almost Have It All," written with Michael Masser, led the list in 1987. (Jennings also co-wrote, among other classics, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes' 1982 No. 1 "Up Where We Belong," Winwood's 1988 leader "Roll With It" and Celine Dion's 1998 No. 1 Titanic love theme "My Heart Will Go On.")

As previously reported, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, rules the Hot 100 for a 14th week, becoming one of just 10 smashes to dominate for at least that long. The track is two weeks from potentially tying the record for the chart's longest reign, shared by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, in 2017, and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," in 1995-96.

Who the hell is still making OTR memes after 15 weeks? This is some bullsh*t.

American teenagers need a hobby. What happened to going to the beach or summer reading?

[yuh yuh]

I'm happy to see Senorita remaining in the top 5.
Not exactly overwhelmed with Old Town Road still being on top and possibly getting that record. But as I liked the song before and it's good, I'm not upset. Congrats. Really strong song. Nothing else to say.

[Jay D83]

Whitney @ #63! That's what I'm talking about!

They'd more likely be playing video games or watching YouTube.
