I’ll be honest. I haven’t even listened to The Box aside from snippets of the chorus but it didn’t draw me in because the beat sounds the sounds the same as every other modern rap song I’ve heard.

"I didn't even listen to it but it doesn't deserve to be at #1"

I would’ve looked more into it if what I heard from the chorus drew me in more. That being said, I did enjoy Ballin because I like the vocals and how upbeat it is.

[eidde]

so because Someone You Loved will 99% spend this week in the top 10, what was the last song (before Sunflower) to spends its 40th week in the top 10?

Also, I can't believe there was actually a band named Average White Band. Could anyone enlighten me about the type of music they made, and how they were perceived at the time. I swear, this name is just a Todd In The Shadows joke waiting to happen.

Jazzy funk/soul along the lines of Earth Wind & Fire/KC & The Sunshine Band/Kool & The Gang. They were fairly well-respected and were consistent sellers during the 1970s ("PUTP" and "Cut The Cake" were their only Hot 100 top 10s though), but petered out following that decade due to lineup changes + shifting tastes among the GP.

This is how they came up with their name:

People were always asking us: “How on earth did a bunch of white Scotsmen end up playing black American funk in the 1970s?” Well, we were all into James Brown – but a lot of it was down to our drummer, Robbie McIntosh. If the music wasn’t funky, he wouldn’t play. He was an absolute groove-master, which was strange for a guy from Dundee.

We had all jammed together but then moved down to London. One day, by chance, we met up again at a Traffic gig. We were grumbling about music and someone said: “Why don’t we get together and play like we used to?” A friend heard us jamming and said: “This is too much for the average white man.” When we’d all stopped laughing, the name just stuck.

[Crimsonio]

Okay I liked Circles when it came out months ago, but it's getting tiring now tbh. Can it start letting newer songs take over on radio?

Yeah. Juice Wrld's death resulted in it reentering at #8 for its 47th week in the Hot 100. I would assume a similar event would have to happen for that record to be broken or when AIWFCIY does eventually break it in a future holiday season.

"Pick Up The Pieces" by AWB was number one the week I was born. I know, I'm super old. If you listen to it you may recognize it...it's mostly instrumental and has been used in tons of movies and TV shows. It's a more famous song than the title or artist would lead you to believe (and it is definitely FUNKY).

Yes that is a pretty famous song

Yeah. I completely forgot the 17-5 rebound that it got after winning and performing at the Grammys. Other record she set then were having 3 songs in the top 10 as a lead artist. Also, 21 passed The Bodyguard with the most week at #1 in the Billboard 200. Plus, she tied both The Beatles and 50 Cent as the artists with two top 5s in both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200. That was quite an epic week.

Blame Pop longevity for this one:

Post Malone's 'Circles' Scores Historic 10th Week at No. 1 on Pop Songs Chart

2/17/2020 by Gary Trust 

Key to its longevity? Its "non-fatiguing hook" and "relatable lyrics," one programmer says. 

Post Malone's "Circles" spends a 10th week at No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart (dated Feb. 22), marking a milestone in the ranking's history.

The song is the first by a solo male and no accompanying acts to have logged as many as 10 weeks at No. 1 on Pop Songs, dating to the chart's 1992 inception. It passes two such hits that each reigned for nine weeks: Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," in 2017, and Seal's "Kiss From a Rose," in 1995.

Overall, just six songs have spent more time at the summit than "Circles," with one of those by a solo male and a guest: Nelly's "Over and Over," featuring Tim McGraw, ruled for 11 weeks in 2004-05.

Among all titles, Ace of Base's "The Sign" is the chart's longest-leading No. 1: 14 weeks in 1994.

"For me, the staying power of 'Circles' is due to a combination of an absolutely addicting, fun, emotional, and at the same time, non-fatiguing hook, combined with relatable lyrics," says R Dub, director of programming at XHTZ (Z90) San Diego. "Who can't relate to going in circles in so many aspects of life? Young, old, rich, poor, black, white … we're all going through it.

"It's a song I still turn up and vibe to every time it comes on, like it's only my third or fourth listen," he muses. "I can't get enough of it, and I'm thinking I'm not alone."

Here's an updated look at the songs to spend the most time at No. 1 on the Pop Songs chart, which ranks songs by weekly plays on a panel of 169 mainstream top 40-formatted radio stations, as monitored by Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Only 14 No. 1s of 377 total in the chart's history, or 4%, have ruled for at least 10 weeks.

Longest-leading Pop Songs No. 1s
Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Year(s)
14, "The Sign," Ace of Base, 1994
11, "Closer," The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, 2016
11, "Over and Over," Nelly feat. Tim McGraw, 2004-05
11, "Torn," Natalie Imbruglia, 1998
11, "I Love You Always Forever," Donna Lewis, 1996
11, "One Sweet Day," Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 1995-96
10, "Circles," Post Malone, 2019-20
10, "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke feat. T.I. + Pharrell, 2013
10, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, 2005
10, "How You Remind Me," Nickelback, 2001-02
10, "Bye Bye Bye," *NSYNC, 2000
10, "My Heart Will Go On," Celine Dion, 1998
10, "Don't Speak," No Doubt, 1996-97
10, "I Know," Dionne Farris, 1995

Also notable, "Circles" has made three separate ascents to No. 1 on Pop Songs. It first led for two weeks beginning on the chart dated Nov. 16, 2019; stepped aside as Lizzo's "Good as Hell" led for four frames; returned to the top for six straight weeks starting Dec. 28; dipped for a week as Maroon 5's "Memories" led; and has since added two more weeks at No. 1, on the charts dated Feb. 15 and 22.

Thus, "Circles" rewrites the record for the longest span at No. 1: 15 weeks, from its first week in charge through its latest, surpassing the 14 weeks at No. 1, all logged consecutively, by Ace of Base's "The Sign."

(Two other tracks have led Pop Songs in three interrupted runs each: Between November 1994 and February 1995, Real McCoy's "Another Night" and Boyz II Men's "On Bended Knee" each did so, trading the top spot as the latter led for six total weeks and the latter, for seven. In 2017, "Another Night" was named the chart's all-time top title.)

"Circles" was released, on Republic Records, from Post Malone's album Hollywood's Bleeding, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 dated Sept. 21, 2019. The set has spent five weeks at No. 1 and logged all 23 of its weeks on the chart so far in the top 10.

The track has topped the all-genre, streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, between charts dated Nov. 30 and Jan. 11. Since its arrival at No. 7 on the Sept. 7-dated Hot 100, it has likewise spent all 23 of its weeks on the ranking in the top 10.

It was SO close but Flo Rida ruined everything

It is amazing how the state of hip hop in 2012 was very different from today. The biggest rap songs were made by Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, and freaking PSY.

Thank you Gary!

"Over and Over" topping Pop radio for 11 weeks is so bizarre lol.

It doesn't seem to be remembered in terms of airplay these days, and it's def not one of Nelly's signature hits (Dilemma, Hot in Herre, Ride wit Me are much more remembered) despite being so huge on radio during its run.

I was 9 years-old (and already keeping my own chart stats) when that song hit #1.  Guess that makes me ancient!
