It is a shame that Denzel has yet to chart on the Hot 100. Give this man a hit already

I'm shocked that Ultimate didn't chart in 2016. It was used in a lot of meme compilations.

OMG WHAT???? HOLY SHIT, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WTF

[dremolus - solarpunk]

[violentdreams]

Believe is really radio friendly. I wouldn't be surprised if it got a heavy push on there.

[dovahduck]

Hoping Joji will be debut moderately high with "Run" and for "Rodeo" to return on the Hot 100.

[chartfreak]

Pussycat Dolls have a new single and it's already #12 on iTunes, which is surprising.

I believe a live version of Anyone by Demi Lovato is also out.

[tuna]

Run at #35 on Spotify. Can’t find Rodeo

The longevity on Posts biggest hits is honestly astounding lol. First congratulations made the year end top 10 and only peaking at 9, then we had Rockstar become the biggest rap song ever and Sunflower being in the top 10 for 8 months and boom Circles is clinging on that top 10 lol.

[lazer]

Will Run rise higher in the next Spotify update?

[anorable]

Remind me in two months if Run becomes Pulse's next obsession now that Blinding Lights is doing well.

This is not true no matter which chart you try to compare it to. It's only #88 on the Hot 100 all-time list; Low is at #28. It was only at #6 on the decade-end list for the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was massive, sure, but it definitely wasn't the "biggest rap song of all time."

Hey Lukas a quick question in context to what you said:

So you have 2 songs song A and B (both released 2018 just to make it easier)

Song A is 11 X Platinum, song B is 8 x Platinum.

Song B is higher on the year end chart and made the all time chart.

The question is: Which song is bigger ? ?

Edit:

P.S. it is not a trick question just curious :)

This response might be generic, but it's true. It depends on what you think is important.

Obviously, if total sales and streaming equivalent units matter the most over a cumulative period, then song A would be more successful; assuming both songs are released close to each other for a fair comparison.

But since we're in a Hot 100 thread, chart performance is obviously the driving factor in determining what songs are the biggest hits, so in this case it's definitely song B.

That's bias aside. Personally, I would also prefer chart performance since it also takes in radio measures, and you have a fair way to compare songs across different eras. Maybe digital sales/streaming units slumped by 30% in Year X compared to Year X-1. Comparing it based on the first scenario wouldn't take into account this, but chart performance would.

Bieber had such a great run with Where Are U Now/What Do You Mean/Sorry. His label/A&R clearly doesn't give a fuck about him anymore.

I guess we’re losing Bieber this year, I’m fine with that even if some of his songs are good. Hopefully someone more interesting will replace him

[Lukas]

since when did an artist not doing as well right now as he/she did in their most successful era mean that the label would drop the artist or that the label clearly doesn't care about them?

Physical first

[nathanalbright]

Nice to see Meek doing some charity work to get JT some of his cred back. I'm curious to see if Yikes shows the usual late career Minaj trend of debuting high off of streams and high sales and then taking hard.

[strongerq]

Hey Lukas if you don't mind another question (a bit harder this time):

Again comparing two songs but they are from the year 2000.

If we get the chart performance only we will be comparing their peaks (last example song B had higher peak, song A had more longevity), but these songs are 20 years old what about the 19 years after their peak.

Like you mentioned making a methodology and multiplying the sales with a factor X. X will decrease by 10% each year.

But why should the factor X decrease and not increase. What is more important peak or longevity ? (both are important, but is the peak important if one song is irrelevant now and other is still relevant).  

I know i am asking this in a Hot 100 thread, don't want to make a thread for a question.

I am asking about the song that is bigger not about the song that was the bigger hit. (the second one is simple you use charts, the first one not so simple).

For example 'Till I Collapse(a song that did not chart) is more relevant today than the entire top 5 from the 2000 year end chart. Edit1: Not saying it is bigger than them but it has more longevity.

P.S. i know i used the biggest exception ('Till I Collapse) i could have ever used but i think you will understand my point.

[Ratatouille]

However lose yourself still the biggest rap song ever so far
Edit: not about numbers
