I'm not sure, however it's gonna 99.9 percent gonna hit 52 weeks in the Top 10. Super Bowl week will be it's 49th week in the Top 10, and it will definitely stick around long enough to be Top 10 the remaining 3 weeks. One year in the Hot 100 Top 10 is crazy.

Just shows how flawed the Billboard chart system is. The Chart system is making it look like the greatest songs of all time happened in the last 20 years which is totally wrong. Blinding Lights had its chart life already, it was the #1 song of the year for 2020. It should be recurrent now instead of charting.

Nobody asked about your posting history! It is a catastrophe for the music business, artists, Pulse music forum(do we really have enough material to discuss one song for a year?) and so for you as well , oh and sorry you are right, it is a catastrophe for me as well!

One song spending a year in the top ten isn't hurting the entire music industry. It isn't even hurting this forum. The reaching.

On what year-end chart did it hit #5 undeservedly? It did hit 2 billion streams on Spotify and smashed in pretty much every country it charted in.

United World Chart #5 of all time, not year-end. eh, still makes sense to me. DM was a dominant global smash like we haven’t seen for a while. It ruled the UK for 11 weeks, defiant in the face of the ACR era. It shattered the record for longest running #1 in Australia. Most shazamed song ever. It was a behemoth.

Mediatraffic:
"The chart-performance of 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd turns into a never-ending story: in its 60th week it rises back to the runner-up slot and thus reaches the highest position on the Global Chart since July 2020! So it's also the 55th week inside the Top 10, an outstanding all-time record! Finally with a total of 16.561.000 points 'Blinding Lights' overtakes Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' on the ALL TIME CHART and ranks now at no.4."
also, little update on WW charts:
WW iTunes: #5 WW Apple Music: #2 Global Spotify: #3
ALSO, it's currently at #8 in Canada, its 49th week in the top 10!!!

Why do people keep getting mad over the longevity of big hits when those songs continue being consumed by large amounts of listeners - enough for the songs to be at or near the top of the chart? Should charts stop measuring songs because they reach a certain age? Why?
I swear some of you like your charts like you like your singers. Articifical.

I love it when *some people think BL is being propped up because of radio when it's still dominating in every format, the song isn't a dead man walking despite being around for over a year, it still has legs and it's running to the fucking bank.

I just checked this week's BB Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song continues to break its own record - 58 weeks now.

Abel isn't going to mess around during this once in a lifetime* opportunity (unless you're rewarded for horrible behavior like Justin Timberfake) Anyway, I'm wondering if this is actually fake news?

I hope so honestly, I'd much rather have Rosalia get a few minutes to perform her own material instead of guesting on Blinding Lights. At least hope she gets one song in if she's gonna be there.

me, the lone BL remix fan: I doubt they'll do the remix if she does show up. Even if they do, I still think she'll end up pivoting to a different track - maybe "Aute Cuture", "Con Altura" or "TKN"

Can someone catch me up as to why this is seeing such a resurgence?
This and "Sweater Weather."

I’d say a lot of it was due to the Grammy snub and sticking it to the recording academy - though I’m sure most people don’t much care about that, he did get a lot of buzz following that. More than he probably would have gotten had he gotten 6 nominations. Then there’s the Super Bowl coming up. Connect those with the likelihood that the song has a low burn rate, plus a possible nostalgia factor that has seeped in early.
But someone said they wouldn’t be surprised to see it drop quicker after the SB buzz wears off. I agree with that. It’ll have the bump on that week’s Hot 100 and then will probably begin its final descent from there.

The story how Weeknd became top artist right now is rather amazing. At first his parents were still living in Ethiopia in the beginning of the 80ies. And then he started making this kind of alternative soul music that did not suit even Urban radio. He sounded like total weirdo, in a good way though. Now he is not suited for Urban radio as well, "Blinding Lights" did not reach even top 40 on Urban radio. I guess he does not need Urban radio anyway, so it is their loss rather. But he could have been unknown farmer in Ethiopia right now...

That's ridiculous if The Grammy's didn't nominate the biggest song of the year for anything because their performing at The Super Bowl. It's not like this was a Tik Tok viral hit. It was a commercial and critically acclaimed smash. I don't even care about "BL"'s all that much. I much prefer "In Your Eyes" and possibly "Save Your Tears" even more. However I know it was a good song that was liked by MANY including critics. The Grammy's should have just not let him perform if they were that annoyed with him accepting the Super bowl performance...
