Chart data always tweets non important stuff like that to engage stan twitter. It's basically the Twotter equivalent of an add/clickbait.

i know but this is getting a little bit excessive. i would hope justin bieber has a "top 10 best-seller of the year" with a Q1 release.

The best selling female albums of 2020 chart they did today was amusing because there aren't even 10 major female albums released yet. But it did it's job of engaging stans.

^Wait until tomorrow for all the first Korean album this, first Korean single that. Gotta please kpop twitter.

I've realized chartdata does this a lot. A lot of it's tweets are tailored specifically towards female artists/their achievements. I have to guess it's tailored towards their fan bases to drum up engagement.

All you need is one look into the comments to understand why.

it's because the account is mostly followed by pop stans… and most pop stans—at least between reddit, twitter, and other pop forums like atrl and popjustice—happen to be fans of women instead of men

Absolutely. Most of the engagement chartdata gets are from the female fans of female artists and BTS stans.

Regarding The Weeknd's album bomb, it's still a month away, I don't think AH can open anywhere near Post Malone levels as only Heartless has been over 2M on Spotify of his singles so far even for a day, but might do very well in streaming over time.

Wouldn’t The Weeknd have better streams on AM than Spotify

He's stronger on Spotify.

Blinding Lights: 53% of its on-demand audio streams came from Spotify last week.

Heartless: 50%

However, it's important to note that Apple Music is more frontloaded (most songs peak on AM before peaking on Spotify), so maybe he's gonna have better first week numbers there, but in the long run Spotify will be his biggest streaming service.

blinding lights returns to #1 on today's top hits

Kinda surprised how little attention the Pussycat Dolls comeback has gotten. You'd think with the success of the Jonas Brothers, more people would've cared more about five hot women dancing in a wet ro-I MEAN a 2000s nostalgia act.

The JBs had a more massive fanbase back in the day, third only to Biebz and Taylor at the time.

The PCDs were already sort of struggling stateside with album #2, which is why their comeback has fared better in Europe (also several members transitioned into TV personalities in the UK).

they're on an indie label (so they already have somewhat less resources than they did when they were on A&M/interscope in the 2000s). and like choco said, their second era already showed cracks in the brand. also they haven't done any wide promo here in the states unlike in britain where they actually performed on x factor lol

i do wish that "react" had at least entered anywhere on the hot 100 but a near-top 20 debut in britain after all these years is a good start for them internationally

I see. It just seemed odd since the PCDs had several Top 10 hits whereas the Jonas Brothers only had Tonight and Burnin' Up as Top 10 hits. I would've thought a group that was just as if not more successful than the JB in the 2000s would've gotten some attention in the US

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. The Jonas Brothers were able to update their music. Many of those those 2000s artists seem to be stuck on their sound from that era, which generally hasn't transitioned well.

[violentdreams]

Holy fuck. After Hours actually GREW on Spotify, from 1.4 million to 1.7 million. People are loving this song.

Crazy, and it’ll probably be over 2m tomorrow with it being a Friday. Its still #2 on Apple Music as well. I wasn’t expecting that with it being 6 minutes and not really “mainstream” friendly, even though its a great song

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

It looks like kworb's daily radio updates are wrong with most songs showing the pretty much the same numbers as yesterday. Blame Mediabase for the problem.

[lurker2]

Is there a chance After Hours beats The Box next week, if it hits 2m this week? The Box is declining, but not that fast. Then again, it is ‘only’ at 2.25 today, so if it continues to grow a bit it might do it IMO.

I was wondering the same thing.

[dovahduck]

With "After Hours" pulling really good numbers, I wonder wether that or "Blinding Lights" will be be number one on the On-Demand Streaming charts when the album drops.

[Enigma.]

US Spotify, week ending 2/20/2020

1 The Box by Roddy Ricch 17,122,376
2 Intentions (feat. Quavo) by Justin Bieber 10,615,362
3 Life Is Good (feat. Drake) by Future 10,109,586
4 No Time To Die by Billie Eilish 9,765,003
5 Blinding Lights by The Weeknd 7,739,722
6 ROXANNE by Arizona Zervas 7,676,669
7 Forever (feat. Post Malone & Clever) by Justin Bieber 7,631,525
8 Blueberry Faygo by Lil Mosey 7,538,983
9 High Fashion (feat. Mustard) by Roddy Ricch 7,116,753
10 Falling by Trevor Daniel 6,715,061

Quite impressive for Intentions although 10.6M for #2 is pretty low.

[tuna]

Tomorrow we'll see if The Box's time has truly come, as Friday is it's greenest day

It’ll probably be a new song. It definitely won’t be After Hours since its the 2nd to last song

[lazer]

After Hours is going to have a very big album bomb once it's released.

I hope it goes Top 10. I think either Life Is Good or Circles will dethrone The Box (assuming both stay stable).

[tuna]

I believe he means on Spotify.
