Billboard Hot 100 2020s Decade End List & All Time Lists

[plankton5165]

That is a very hard one.



Plausible unfavorable scenario: 16-22-off (55 weeks on chart)

Plausible favorable scenario: 16-14-11-9-9-10-10-12-14-14-18-19-22-25-25-off (69 weeks on chart)



The favorable scenario would also give it 43 weeks in the top 10.

[plankton5165]

Four weeks at #1. I wasn’t expecting WAP to be decade-end material.

[nathanalbright]

This particular ranking is heavily slanted towards the top of the charts. Weeks below the top ten barely count for anything, and #1 counts for a lot.

True, but that's how Billboard calculates it. Even so, see below that The Bones, which never made the top 10, is doing okay on the all-time list.

[rockgolf]

And in the week where Billboard finally announced the nominees for the BBMAs for 2019, only 7 weeks away from the last chart to be included in next year's awards, here's the latest updates to the all-time top 10,000, for songs on this week's chart (Sep 26, 2020):

9933	9600	333	Die From A Broken Heart	Maddie & Tae	61,616

With 52 chart weeks and being below #25 on this week's Hot 100, this is almost certainly the last time The Bones will add points to its total.

nathanalbright mentioned just above this post that the chart heavily skews to points for songs in the top 10, which is very true. So in honor of farewell to The Bones, let's see how it compares to the all-time biggest hits that never reached the top ten:

#	All-Time Rank	Year	High	Track	Artist Featured	Points
1	2777	1998	11	I Don't Want To Wait	Paula Cole	364000
2	3126	1973	16	Why Me	Kris Kristofferson	328160
3	3222	1997	16	Barely Breathing	Duncan Sheik	318180
4	3366	1980	11	Into The Night	Benny Mardones	170272
5	3450	1994	11	100% Pure Love	Crystal Waters	293140
6	3496	2010	14	If I Die Young	The Band Perry	125140
7	3544	1997	11	All For You	Sister Hazel	283600
8	3647	1990	11	The Humpty Dance	Digital Underground	273120
9	3712	2020	12	The Bones	Maren Morris	270546
10	3693	1991	11	Now That We Found Love	Heavy D & The Boyz	268320
11	3728	1974	11	One Hell Of A Woman	Mac Davis	264960
12	3755	2005	14	Feel Good Inc.	Gorillaz /De La Soul	262200
13	3776	2013	17	Sail	AWOLNATION	244414
14	3778	1976	11	A Little Bit More	Dr. Hook	260200
15	3800	1996	12	Insensitive	Jann Arden	258180
16	3806	1996	15	Counting Blue Cars	Dishwalla	257800
17	3834	2012	14	The Motto	Drake Featuring Lil Wayne	255390
18	3842	1976	11	Say You Love Me	Fleetwood Mac	254960
19	3851	2001	14	I Hope You Dance	Lee Ann Womack & Sons Of The Desert	254120
20	3856	1977	12	I Never Cry	Alice Cooper	253640

So, among songs that never reached the weekly top ten, The Bones is...

in the top ten.

And it beats Jann Arden's Insensitive for the biggest #12 hit of all time.

(I know 99.99% of the general population could not care less but is this actually interesting to anyone reading?)

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yes, it is!

[plankton5165]

If I Die Young peaked at #19? I thought it peaked at #13.

I just researched and it peaked at #14. It peaked at #19 in its initial run, but it went to #14 in its second run.

Where is Teardrops On My Guitar?

[nathanalbright]

Some of those songs never to hit the top ten are still legendary, and Insensitive is a real bop. I enjoyed it a lot when I was a teen *mid 90's nostalgia*.

Such a monster hit, the nostalgia.

I'd like to think his album tracks that reached top 10 the past years makeup for The Motto, Headlines, All Me, Over, Tuesday, etc never reaching top 10.

I'll correct that. Thanks.

Teardrops On My Guitar finished just shy of this list at #3946 all time. Well not that close...

21 Scritti Politti |  Perfect Way
22 James Arthur | Say You Won't Let Go
23 Glenn Medeiros |  Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You
24 When In Rome | The Promise
25 Tevin Campbell | Round And Round
26 Brenda K. Starr | I Still Believe
27 Andy Williams | The Hawaiian Wedding Song (Ke Kali Nei Au)
28 Taylor Swift | Teardrops On My Guitar
29 The Script | Breakeven
30 Kix | Don't Close Your Eyes

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Damn, I really love most (I guess I don't know the Andy Williams song) of the songs that you just posted!

[plankton5165]

In the 2000s decade end, how is Lips Of An Angel significantly lower than My Humps?

Both peaked at #3 and spent a fairly similar amount of weeks there which apparently doesn't matter much, the same amount of weeks in the top 10 (16), and a fairly similar amount of weeks on the chart. (33 for LOAA, 36 for My Humps)

I've got Circles holding steady and tanooki has it climbing a position. I think that's because we have different values for Closer by Chainsmokers. I still have Closer at #13 with 1,274,440 points and she has them with fewer. It'll straighten out next week when Circles eclipses the legendary Hey Jude by The Beatles on both our charts.

[plankton5165]

Do you even know how little weeks Hey Jude spent on the Hot 100? 19 weeks.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Chart runs were much shorter then. I haven't checked the charts from then but I'm sure most songs didn't even manage 20 weeks.

If I Die Young peaked at #19? I thought it peaked at #13.

I just researched and it peaked at #14. It peaked at #19 in its initial run, but it went to #14 in its second run.

Where is Teardrops On My Guitar?

I'll correct that. Thanks.

Teardrops On My Guitar finished just shy of this list at #3946 all time. Well not that close...

Wow, The Script have two songs between 21 and 30 on that list.

@gabingston: Maybe The Script should also sue Arthur for plagiarizing their chart run, too.

To say the least.

Between 1965 & 1969, the average #1 song spent 14 weeks on the Hot 100.

Not the average song. The average #1 song.

Only 2 songs, both from 1969 exceeded 20 weeks: Sugar Sugar by The Archies and Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by B.J. Thomas.

Five #1 songs in that period were on the Hot 100 for a grand total of 10 weeks each. Another 14 spent only 11 weeks on and still another 14 only 12 weeks on.

Anyone calling it a simpler time needs to rethink it.

So tanooki & I are back in sync on Circles. It didn't pass Hey Jude this week but it should next week. For those who keep score, Circles is 24,305 points away from reaching the all-time top ten. This week's #17 placing on the Hot 100 got it 7,360 points. So if it stays in the top 20 for another 4 weeks, it will reach the all-time top ten.

That's no longer looking like a distant possibility.

Currently, the prediction is that Circles will only fall to 21, so sparring an album bomb the size of Scorpion or Legends Never Die, I think it'll make it

It sure is. Currently at #1491, if it enters at #30 on next week's chart as has been predicted, it will move to #1469.

I'd love to know if Jump recharts the week following, but I have my doubts. Acts who die on a weekend stand a better chance of re-charting, otherwise the posthumous sales get split between weeks.

Which leads to a ghoulish, but interesting question: when, eventually, (and may it be well into the future) Paul McCartney, Elton John and Stevie Wonder die (I figure those are the 3 biggest living acts in pop today), what songs by them will have the biggest post-mortem sales?

I figure Yesterday for McCartney, Your Song for Elton, and either Superstition or I Just Called to Say I Love You for Stevie.

Not their best tracks, in some cases by a long shot, but the tracks that will most impact the charts.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Mostly agree on the latter point, although I see Candle in the Wind 1997 getting it for Elton John since it was a tribute song for him that most people above a certain age will certainly remember.

Okay, new ghoulish question: what artist is going to have a hit rewriting “Candle in the Wind” to make it about Elton John when he dies?
