Hi @benson don't wanna be mean but the peak for Trampoline is wrong

[rockgolf]

The 18 songs that fell off the Hot 100 this week had a combined total of 306 weeks on the chart! That's almost 6 years! I'd bet that's a record by far.

[renfield75]

With "Going Bad" finally going recurrent that means every song that peaked in 2018 is finally off the Hot 100. It only took 9 months!

[Enigma.]

All that Young Thug dominance on Apple Music and none of the songs can reach top 20 even. Very interesting how it varies from week to another, "gigantic AM smash" can chart anywhere in top 40, hard to predict.

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

Our total of charting female rap acts on the Hot 100 in 2019 is now up to 8! It’s the highest total of any year this decade.

- Lizzo

- Cardi B

- Megan Thee Stallion

- Saweetie

- City Girls

- Iggy Azalea

- Doja Cat

- Nicki Minaj

If so, I get to finally complete the "complete" hits of 2018!


Actually, both Meek Mill tracks that fell off this week first charted (and reached their highest position) in 2018: Going Bad and 24 / 7.

Even though she wasn’t credited, Jhené Aiko was on Single Again by Big Sean and I believe Triggered charted this year

Jhene is more r&b act? Like Ella Mai and H.E.R. etc

Normani's 'Motivation,' Co-Written by Ariana Grande, Debuts in Top 40 Of Hot 100
8/27/2019 by Xander Zellner

The song earns Normani her third straight solo top 40 hit.
Normani's new single "Motivation" arrives at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Aug. 31), becoming her third solo top 40 hit and first unaccompanied by another artist.

Notably, Ariana Grande, among others, co-wrote the song, marking her first Hot 100 writing credit for another artist.

Following the Aug. 16 premiere of its official video, the track debuts at No. 10 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 14,000 downloads sold in the week ending Aug. 22, according to Nielsen Music, and No. 25 on Streaming Songswith 16.2 million U.S. streams. It also drew 6.6 million in all-format radio reach and debuts at No. 32 on the Pop Songs airplay chart.

Normani previously hit the Hot 100 as soloist with "Love Lies" (with Khalid), which peaked at No. 9 last September, and "Dancing With a Stranger" (with Sam Smith), which reached No. 7 this April (and stands at No. 23 this week).The No. 33 start of "Motivation" ties her best bow, first set by "Stranger" in January.

Prior to her solo output, Normani made eight trips to the Hot 100 as part of Fifth Harmony, reaching the top 10 with "Work From Home," featuring Ty Dolla $ign (No. 4, 2016). As previously reported, Normani's fellow former member of the on-hiatus group, Camila Cabello, takes over atop the latest Hot 100 with "Señorita," with Shawn Mendes.

Normani co-wrote "Motivation" with Grande, Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and ILYA. The track earns Grande her first Hot 100 entry as a writer on another artist's song after being credited as a writer of 32 of her 49 total Hot 100 hits to date.

Martin, meanwhile, has totaled 22 Hot 100 No. 1s as a writer, from Britney Spears' "…Baby One More Time" in 1999 through Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" in 2016. In the Hot 100's 61-year history, only Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26) have more No. 1s as writers.

Kotecha and ILYA notch their 60th and 23rd Hot 100 entries as songwriters, respectively. Kotecha has co-penned three No. 1s, among 21 top 10s: Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" (2005), Maroon 5's "One More Night"(2012) and The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" (2015).

ILYA, who has co-written six Hot 100 top 10s (five recorded by Grande), is credited as the sole producer on "Motivation."

True, but I feel like she’s done enough in that category in her career to be counted

Having 5 songs that charted 26 or more weeks in the chart contributed to more than half of those weeks, not to mention Happier accounted for more than one-fifth of those by itself.

Not-So-Cruel Summer: Taylor Swift Hits No. 1 On the Hot 100 Songwriters Chart

8/28/2019 by Xander Zellner 

Taylor Swift rises to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Songwriters chart (dated Aug. 31) for the first time, thanks to a trio of songwriting entries on the latest weekly Hot 100 survey.

"You Need to Calm Down" (co-written with Joel Little) leads the way at No. 14 on the Hot 100 (after peaking at No. 2); "Lover," which she solely wrote, debuts at No. 19; and "Me!," featuring Brendon Urie, ranks at No. 58 (after reaching at No. 2).

Swift ascends to the Hot 100 Songwriters summit ahead of the chart debut of her new LP Lover, which became the top-selling album of 2019 in the U.S. after just two days on sale and is slated tobecome her sixth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Sept. 7).

Swift dethrones Blanco Brown, who ruled the Hot 100 Songwriters chart for a week, thanks to his breakout single "The Git Up," which stands at No. 16 on the Hot 100. Drake previously led the writers' ranking for a week (concurrent with the chart start of his album Care Package) and Finneas O'Connell and Billie Eilish tied at No. 1 for three straight weeks before that; O'Connell himself reigned for nine consecutive weeks, dating to the chart's June 15 inception.

The weekly Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100; plus, genre-based songwriter and producer charts follow the same methodology based on corresponding "Hot"-named genre charts. As with Billboard's yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings).

Among other moves, pop legend Max Martin debuts on Hot 100 Songwriters at No. 7, thanks to four songwriting entries on the Hot 100: Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber's "I Don't Care" leads at No. 8 (co-written with Sheeran, Bieber, Fred, Poo Bear and Shellback), followed by Sheeran and Khalid's "Beautiful People" (co-written with Sheeran, Fred and Shellback) at No. 18; Normani's "Motivation" (co-written with Normani, Ariana Grande, ILYA and Savan Kotecha) at No. 33; and Sam Smith's "How Do You Sleep?" (co-written with Smith, Ilya and Kotecha) at No. 36.

On Hot 100 Producers, Louis Bell leads for a ninth week, thanks to five producing credits on the latest Hot 100, led by Post Malone's "Goodbyes," featuring Young Thug, at No. 9.

Hot 100 Songwriters & Producers charts

[WolfSpear]

8 songwriters on “Señorita”.

Is this the most songwriters credited on a chart topper?

SICKO MODE has 30, don't know if that's the record though

It's worth noting that Sicko Mode contains a sample of "I Wanna Rock" as performed by Luke, written by Luther Campbell, Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch; and "Gimme the Loot" as performed by The Notorious B.I.G., written by Christopher Wallace, Osten Harvey, Bryan Higgins, Trevor Smith, James Jackson, Malik Taylor, Keith Elam, Christopher Martin, Kamaal Fareed, Ali Shaheed Jones-Muhammad, Tyrone Taylor, Fred Scruggs, Kirk Jones and Chylow Parker.

Aside from that, 6 producers are also credited on the main production of the song, along with Drake and Travis himself having songwriting credits. Swae Lee and Big Hawk provided additional vocals and also received writing credits. That's why the songwriting credits are so many. 

You sample a song, everyone who originally received a writing credit on the song being sampled also gets a writing credit on the new song. 

[Choco]

And it's not openly discussed but recently artists have started demanding for writing credits to ensure they get properly paid royalties later on.

The most recent example was the last Fifth Harmony album. The ladies made a deal where if one of them contributed to writing a song, the four of them would get a credit even if the other three weren't actually involved in writing the song. This was because they felt unproperly compensated for their previous efforts.

We like to overanalyze credits but sometimes it's literally just about the money.

Yeah, that's why Beyonce has been giving herself writing/production credits for songs she contributed nothing to and Rihanna started doing that as soon as she got her masters. She's credited as a songwriter on every song on Anti, except Same 'Ol Mistakes which was written and produced entirely by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala and which was a song she basically covered. She doesn't have writing credits on 11 of her 14 #1's and on about 92% of her discography (albums, singles and features). That's A LOT of money being left on the table for other songwriters/producers, and rightfully so, but I think now, bigger acts give themselves writing credits on songs they didn't necessarily contribute anything to (which I think is unfair and wack). Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes do this a lot. 

[badrobot]

^I also think that the line of what counts as "production" vs "songwriting" is blurry at times, because a producer can be making decisions that affect the structure of the song, or collaborating with the songwriters during the song's early phases in a way that changes the direction of the track. If the performer is also involved, you could make an argument that their input -- even if they're not literally writing the lyrics or melody, but are providing feedback that changes the song -- could count as songwriting. Not to mention the fact that songwriting camps are common now.

The smartest decision Dolly Parton made: rejecting Elvis' cover of IWALY because his team wanted 50% of the songwriting royalties. It's a good thing she put business over sentiment - she really wanted to hear Elvis sing it -because she would've lost out on millions in royalties.

I suppose it's a lot easier for songwriters today to give up a fractional share to get it recorded by a major star since so many songs have multiple writers anyway. But I still think it's bogus because the overwhelming majority of songwriters only have that revenue stream. Like Britney and Celine, RiRi and Beyonce, for example, will be able to make major touring $$$ if their future music doesn't sell.
