Yeah, it’s definitely decreasing at this point but we gotta remember that Monday is the weakest day for The Box, so the drop below 2 million streams isn’t that surprising.

For anyone interested, these are the official weekly charts for individual streaming services. This could probably help with insight towards predictions...

YouTube (Non-UGC) [no longer counts towards Hot 100]:
1. The Box
2. Love You When I'm Drunk (MIKA)
3. Roxanne
4. Godzilla
5. Highway Star (Deep Purple)
6. Dark Clouds
7. ON
8. 21
9. Dance Monkey
10. Baby Shark
11. Tears of Gold (Faouzia)
12. Life is Good
13. Old Town Road
14. Falling
15. Toxic (Britney Spears)
16. Frolic
17. Bad Guy
18. Dior
19. Heroes (David Bowie)
20. Tongue Tied
21. Say So
22. Memories
23. Never Gonna Give You Up
24. High Fashion
25. Main Title Theme (Artie Kane)

So many classic songs benefitting from non-UCG. It's amazing to see how YouTube has breathed new life into older songs and reintroduced them to new generations, especially the masterpiece that is "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Also, I'm surprised that one guy's YouTube videos generates enough non-UCG content to propel MIKA's "Love You When I'm Drunk" to #2, above so many recent hits. No wonder the 'MIKA glitch' on the recurrent charts happens every now and then 😄

But seriously, can we make this song go viral somehow? Not only it would be crazy to have an album track from an underperforming 2012 album become a sudden hit, but I'm all for giving MIKA some well-deserved recognition for his post-"Life In Cartoon Motion" work.

Yeah, that MIKA song is benefitting solely off of a YouTuber who uses it as a theme song for their videos, for no more than 3 seconds.

I didn't realize in the past they could track song streams on YouTube off that little usage in a video. Even during the Harlem Shake debacle it was widely thought that a video had to have the audio for atleast 15 or 30 seconds to count. 

Also on this note, I believe the Canadian Hot 100 still counts non-UGC for some odd reason. Kesha's "Cannibal" debuted #96 there this week due to TikTok compilations.

"Bad Guy" is also still #15 (and has the most weeks top 10 ever). "Old Town Road" is also still #19 as of this week.

Just hit stop loading the page in time to prevent the paywall from loading. You'll get better at it with practice.

Thank you lol, I actually got it first try. I can’t believe it was that easy. And it works for the other charts too! I’m actually so happy about it.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. I accidentally found that to work the day BB put up the paywall.

[musicspy]

Can someone explain to me why 85.000 sales and #12 on streaming songs with zero airplay equals to #4 on the chart? For instance:
On: 85.000sales + 19m streams + 0aud -> #4
Dance Monkey: 20.000sales + 21m streams + ~55m aud -> #7

And no, I dont even like Dance Monkey. It doesnt seem fair to me nor accurate using the known formula. 65.000 sales is more than 2m streams + all of Dance Monkey's audience? Lol. Billboard needs BTS nowadays it seems.

BB weighs sales pretty heavily for some reason.... which is dumb

[chanman]

^The total sales figure consists of physical sales and digital sales..I don't know the weighting contributions for each. Does anyone have an idea, or how much was physical sales?

The sales-to-streams ratio that Billboard uses is not fair, imo.

On's 86k sales = 21.5M paid streams or 32.25M free streams or 43M programmed streams or 100.3M audience impressions.

The Box/Life Is Good streaming dominance: Episode 7

1. The Box 48.2M

2. Life Is Good 40.6M

3. After Hours 20.4M

4. Blinding Lights 21.4M

Weighing sales more is payback for all the songs in the 2000s that hit #1(non pop songs). At least that's the only explanation I can come up with.

Not to mention "Life Is Good" and its impressive 7-week run at #2.

[korbel16]

Say So at number 10 in Canada before the full week of the video is counted? Yup another reason why the Canadian chart has been consistently better than the U.S as of late. (Besides circles peaking at #2)

I was going to like your post before I read that last bit. Still, the Canadian Charts have their good points, especially with a Ke$ha album cut from 2010 recharting thanks to Tik Tok, "No Guidance" being out of the charts since a good time now, and "Physical" remaining relatively stable at #76.

Still, we ought to remember this was the same country that gave "Earth" by Lil Dicky a top 3 debut...just saying.

[annoymous1]

Earth debuted at #3 on Canadian charts 🤦‍♀️ well they can't always be better the hot100 all the time there is bound to be a couple stinkers in the mix.

[fhas]

I think the formula used for Canada's Hot 100 is similar to the 2017/2018 Hot 100 formula. Streaming is weighted in a way that Nonstop (1 week), I Love It (1), ZEZE (1) and Killshot (2 weeks) reached #1.

Didn't make the year-end list, though "Freaky Friday" did.

Out of all Kesha songs, I thought that the one to go viral would be Tik Tok itself

BTS's 'On' Becomes 20th Non-English-Language Top 10 in Hot 100 History

3/3/2020 by Xander Zellner

Three are by BTS, the most among all acts with such hits.

As BTS celebrates its third career top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 (on the chart dated March 7), as "On" rockets in at No. 4, the best placement yet for the Korean pop superstars, the song also earns the distinction as the 20th hit sung primarily in a language other than English to hit the top 10. The total is out of over 4,800 total top 10s to date in the chart's 61-year history.

"On," which is sung primarily in Korean, is from the group's latest LP Map of the Soul: 7, which vaults in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 422,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, the largest week for any album so far in 2020.

BTS boasts the most non-English-language Hot 100 top 10s, three, besting PSY, who has two.

Seven of the 20 songs have reached No. 1, including Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" (featuring Justin Bieber), which spent a then-record-tying 16 weeks at No. 1 in 2017, and Los Del Rio's "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)," which ruled for 14 weeks in 1996.

Notably, "On" is the highest-charting non-English-language Hot 100 top 10 by a duo or group since "Macarena" in 1996. Before that, Los Lobos' cover of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" led in 1987.

Spanish is the most common non-English language listed below (seven of 20 top 10s), followed by Korean (five), German (three), French and Italian (two each) and Japanese (one).

Notably, the 20 top 10s below are sung entirely or mainly in a language other than English; the list does not include songs with portions in other languages, such as "Enrique Iglesias' "Bailamos" or Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin's "I Like It."

In chronological order of their peak dates, here are all 20 non-English-language songs to reach the Hot 100's top 10 (with thanks to Paul Haney at Joel Whitburn's Record Research for research assistance).

Artist, Title, Peak Date, Peak Position (weeks at No. 1), Language

1. Domenico Modugno, "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)," Aug. 18, 1958, No. 1 (five weeks), Italian

2. Lolita, "Sailor (Your Home Is the Sea)," Dec. 19, 1960, No. 5, German

3. Emilio Pericoli, "Al Di La'," July 7, 1962, No. 6, Italian

4. Kyu Sakamoto, "Sukiyaki," June 15, 1963, No. 1 (three weeks), Japanese

5. The Singing Nun (Soeur Sourire), "Dominique," Dec. 7, 1963, No. 1 (four weeks), French

6. The Sandpipers, "Guantanamera," Sept. 17, 1966, No. 9, Spanish

7. Mocedades, "Eres Tu (Touch the Wind)," March 23, 1974, No. 9, Spanish

8. Nena, "99 Luftballons," March 3, 1984, No. 2, German

10. Los Lobos, "La Bamba," Aug. 29, 1987, No. 1 (three weeks), Spanish

11. Enigma, "Sadeness (Part 1)," April 6, 1991, No. 5, Latin/French

12. Los Del Rio, "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)," Aug. 3, 1996, No. 1 (14 weeks), Spanish

13. PSY, "Gangnam Style," Oct. 6, 2012, No. 2, Korean

14. PSY, "Gentleman," May 4, 2013, No. 5, Korean

15. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, "Despacito," May 27, 2017, No. 1 (16 weeks), Spanish

16. J Balvin & Willy William feat. Beyoncé, "Mi Gente," Oct. 21, 2017, No. 3, Spanish

17. BTS, "Fake Love," June 2, 2018, No. 10, Korean

18. Bad Bunny feat. Drake, "MIA," Oct. 27, 2018, No. 5, Spanish

19. BTS feat. Halsey, "Boy With Luv," April 27, 2019, No. 8, Korean

20. BTS, "On," March 7, 2020, No. 4 (to date), Korean

[annoymous1]

Is it true that if Billboard counted youtube back then gangman style would've hit #1?
