disgusting comment.don't act like you know the whole story ..kesha was raped from that bastard and of course kesha knew that she couldn't release music when she told that dr luke raped her but she wanted to tell the truth cause she couldn't handle it anymore ..also she went to a clinic cause that bastard made awful comments about her body and after that kesha had eating disorder..she had many difficult years until the release of rainbow..you don't deserve to be a #metoo supporter.people with opinions like this always makes me sick No I don't know the whole story but neither do you, because of course neither one of us could possibly know every little detail of the day-to-day affairs of Kesha and Dr. Luke, because well, we're not them, however I have followed the whole case very closely from the beginning from the media, and probably know just as much about it as any layperson can.

3/31/2020 by Xander Zellner The Weeknd previously completed the trifecta in 2015.
The Weeknd is simultaneously No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100, Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, thanks to the opening week of his new album After Hours, which launches atop the Billboard 200 with 444,000 equivalent album units earned (the top weekly total for any album this year), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
Plus, the set's "Blinding Lights" reaches No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the first time, as The Weeknd charts all 14 songs from the standard version of After Hours.
The pop/R&B singer-songwriter-producer first led all three lists simultaneously on Sept. 26, 2015, thanks to album Beauty Behind the Madness and single "Can't Feel My Face." He tripled up the following week (Oct. 3, 2015), with Madness and subsequent Hot 100 leader "The Hills."
Since the Artist 100 launched in 2014, seven other artists have ruled all three charts simultaneously. Drake has achieved the feat a record 14 times (most recently on Aug. 11, 2018, with Scorpion and "In My Feelings"), followed by Taylor Swift (seven), Adele (six), Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran (two each) and Camila Cabello and Kendrick Lamar (one each).
Before The Weeknd this week, Grande had last earned the honor, as she ruled with the Billboard 200 with Thank U, Next and the Hot 100 with "7 Rings" on March 2, 2019. The Weeknd spends a 16th total week at No. 1 on the Artist 100, and his first since April 14, 2018. Dating to the chart's inception, only Taylor Swift and Drake have spent more weeks at No. 1, with 37 and 31 frames, respectively.
Among other Artist 100 chart moves, Kenny Rogers posthumously debuts at No. 3, following his death on March 20, as his albums and songs surge on multiple charts.
Plus, Conan Gray debuts at No. 5 on the Artist 100, thanks to his LP Kid Krow, which opens at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 with 49,000 units.
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
300th week of this chart Drake & Maroon 5 have charted all 300 weeks Taylor Swift is next with 296 weeks Followed by Ed Sheeran (294) Eminem 292 Luke Bryan 291 |

Lil Baby's Emotionally Scarred is #6 on AM at the moment, yet only #89 on Hot 100. Streaming has really collapsed on AM maybe even more than Spotify.

I think the reason apple music is still not showing daily streaming numbers is that they might have a much smaller overall straming number than spotify. |

On the flip side, being found not guilty by a jury or judge doesnโt mean he didnโt do it either. |

He co-wrote and co-produced all 14 songs on "After Hours."
The Weeknd hits No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts (dated April 4) for the first time, thanks to 14 songs, all from his new album After Hours, on the Billboard Hot 100 that he co-wrote and co-produced.
The set arrives atop the Billboard 200 with 444,000 equivalent album units (the year's best weekly total), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, marking The Weeknd's fourth No. 1.
Meanwhile, the LP's "Blinding Lights" becomes his fifth No. 1 song on the Hot 100.
Here's a rundown of all 14 of The Weeknd's songwriting and production credits on the Hot 100, with additional co-songwriters and additional co-producers noted.
Rank, Title
No. 1, "Blinding Lights"
Writers (in addition to The Weeknd): Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Belly, DaHeala
Producers (in addition to The Weeknd): Martin, Holter
No. 4, "Heartless"
Writers and producers: Metro Boomin, Illangelo, Dre Moon
No. 16, "In Your Eyes"
Writers: Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Belly
Producers: Martin, Holter
No. 21, "Alone Again"
Writers and producers: DaHeala, Illangelo, Frank Dukes
No. 22, "After Hours"
Writers: DaHeala, Illangelo, Mario Winans, Belly
Producers: DaHeala, Illangelo
No. 24, "Scared to Live"
Writers: Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Belly, Daniel Lopatin, Elton John, Bernie Taupin
Producers: Martin, Holter
(the song interpolates John's classic "Your Song," which hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 in 1971)
No. 25, "Hardest to Love"
Writers and producers: Max Martin, Oscar Holter
No. 28, "Too Late"
Writers and producers: DaHeala, Illangelo, Ricky Reed

No. 69, "Repeat After Me (Interlude)"
Writers and producers: Kevin Parker, Daniel Lopatin
No. 80, "Until I Bleed Out"
Writers and producers: Metro Boomin, Daniel Lopatin, Prince 85, Notinbed
Since Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers began last year, The Weeknd is the fifth artist to rule both surveys simultaneously, after Finneas (four such weeks), Louis Bell (three) and Ricky Reed and Taylor Swift (one each).
Before The Weeknd, Finneas had last doubled up simultaneously, on the Nov. 30 2019-dated chart.
The weekly Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100; plus, genre-based songwriter and producer charts follow the same methodology based on corresponding "Hot"-named genre charts. As with Billboard's yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings).
The full Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, in addition to the full genre rankings, can be found on Billboard.com.

Thanks to "After Hours" release, The Weeknd leads the Billboard 200, Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Artist 100, Hot 100 Songwriters & Hot 100 Producers charts simultaneously.
The Weeknd's week has been dominant like no one else's before, as he becomes the first artist to lead the Billboard 200, Billboard Hot 100, Billboard Artist 100, Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts simultaneously.
After Hours, released on XO/Republic Records, launches atop the Billboard 200 albums chart with the top weekly total this year, while single "Blinding Lights" takes over at No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Thanks to the presence of all 14 songs, which The Weeknd co-wrote and co-produced, from the set's original version on the Hot 100, he also dominates the Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers tallies (which launched last June).
Meanwhile, his colossal consumption numbers spark his return to No. 1 on the Artist 100.
Billboard caught up with The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) on Wednesday (April 1) via email, and he mused about his unprecedented chart honors and more.
Congratulations! You're the first artist to rank No. 1 simultaneously on the Billboard 200, Hot 100, Artist 100, Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts. That really shows your complete scope of talents. How does it feel to be recognized on all those levels?
It feels like a huge blessing. As artists, being recognized for what we do is the ultimate validation. I share this honor with my team and my fans who have been tirelessly supporting me.
How did what seems like a clear '80s influence on "Blinding Lights" and other songs on After Hours come about? Plus, your first Hot 100 No. 1, "Can't Feel My Face," has a retro vibe too. What are your influences, and what drives you to bring classic sounds into the present?
I've always had an admiration for the era before I was born. You can hear it as far back as my first mixtape [2011's House of Balloons] that the '80s -- Siouxsie & the Banshees, Cocteau Twins -- play such a huge role in my sound. Sometimes it helps me create a new sound and sometimes it's just obvious. I'm just glad the world's into it now.
This is certainly an uncertain time for everyone. Given the current global climate, everyone's health and safety are obviously most important. But what is it like to release and promote an album amid such challenging circumstances?
It's very bizarre. At first, I felt like it might have been insensitive to release it, but to my fans I felt like I would have been doing a disservice to push it back. Hopefully it can help some people escape our reality, if only for an hour out of their day, while we all work hard to get through this together.

No I don't know the whole story but neither do you, because of course neither one of us could possibly know every little detail of the day-to-day affairs of Kesha and Dr. Luke, because well, we're not them, however I have followed the whole case very closely from the beginning from the media, and probably know just as much about it as any layperson can. How do you know she was raped? Simply because she said so? So if anyone makes a claim that something happened, it is automatically true and should be taken at face value? But in this case the claim was actually investigated and the case was tried in a court of law, and he was cleared of the rape allegation, so you're just going to ignore that? And about not being able to release new Juan Carlos, you are wrong about that, she was free to release new Juan Carlos at any time without Dr. Luke's involvement. This is not a full-fledged defense of Dr. Luke, LIKE I SAID I see that it is likely he might be a difficult and even toxic person to work with as other stars who worked with him have said so, and for that maybe he deserves to be side-lined a bit, but it should stop short of labeling him a rapist or sexual predator. I would really advise you to examine more critically everything you see/hear from the media, and truly question whether single-person testimonies, especially with no evidence or reasonable proof, should automatically be taken as true. you know nothing.how you want proof for something that happened PRIVATE and MANY YEARS AGO?..and he blackmail her that if she speaks her career will be over...with your logic gaga is a liar too when she said that a producer raped her in the beginning of her career..so ''till it happens to you'' is fake...''praying'' from kesha is fake ..and her tears everytime that she sang ''praying'' on tv or on tour are fake as well...so every girl who can't have proof about a rape is a liar too and the mens are innocent..I don't know if you are worse than dr luke.... stop talking cause your comments are really awful.... really disgusting.. dr luke is the worse human being and people who support him are like him Let me rephrase my point this way: what it comes down to is that we don't know whether or not Dr. Luke raped Kesha - it could have happened or it could not have, just like any other event in life. But in order to convict someone in a court of law and label them guilty of a certain act and say definitively that they most likely did it, you have to PROVE and provide CIRCUMSTANTIAL OR PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THAT IT OCCURED. This was not done in the case of Kesha vs. Dr. Luke, so while it may or may not have happened, we cannot put him behind bars and say definitively that HE DID RAPE HER. But as I have said, since I followed the case closely from the beginning to end, it is in my opinion that he did not rape her since the evidence was lacking, she was his only accuser, and her story and accusations of his predatory behavior were not corroborated by additional individuals (other than her mother I believe). So, while I am admitting that he may or may not have done it (though I think most likely not), how can you say definitively and why are you so convinced that he did? Simply because somebody says something it is true? How do you know that he blackmailed her and told her that "if you speak, your career will be over"? It is your sense of logic that is the most twisted and defies the most basic of common sense. And for the record, as I have explained before, I do not "support Dr. Luke" per se, I am just saying that the rape allegation cannot be substantiated. And as I have also touched on, I absolutely think that sexual assault and violence against women (and all genders as well) is a very serious social problem and I am passionate about stamping it out, I just don't think in this case it is legit. It is an unfortunate thing about rape, that since it most often occurs in private between two people, it is very hard to prove and convict, but that doesn't mean that every single person who is accused should immediately be locked up and have no due process or their day in court - that would be utter idiocy, a flagrant violation of the justice system, and even cruel to the accused if they are truly innocent. And some nerve of you to attack me personally when you know nothing about me or my life or even what I've been through. And no, I will not "stop talking" and I stand by my statements and my views. |

So, while I am admitting that he may or may not have done it (though I think most likely not), how can you say definitively and why are you so convinced that he did? Simply because somebody says something it is true? How do you know that he blackmailed her and told her that "if you speak, your career will be over"? It is your sense of logic that is the most twisted and defies the most basic of common sense. And for the record, as I have explained before, I do not "support Dr. Luke" per se, I am just saying that the rape allegation cannot be substantiated. And as I have also touched on, I absolutely think that sexual assault and violence against women (and all genders as well) is a very serious social problem and I am passionate about stamping it out, I just don't think in this case it is legit. It is an unfortunate thing about rape, that since it most often occurs in private between two people, it is very hard to prove and convict, but that doesn't mean that every single person who is accused should immediately be locked up and have no due process or their day in court - that would be utter idiocy, a flagrant violation of the justice system, and even cruel to the accused if they are truly innocent. And some nerve of you to attack me personally when you know nothing about me or my life or even what I've been through. And no, I will not "stop talking" and I stand by my statements and my views. And I will not take your statements and your views seriously and I will never care about your stupid opinion from now on |

If America won't let "Hot Girl Bummer" enter Top 10, at least allow "Death Bed" to be in Top 50 :)

This song is folktronica/pop/country?? why is it charting on dance lmao Billboard literally stereotypes based on the artist, not the song. Case in point - Panic! At The Disco dominating the top 2 of the Hot Rock Songs charts with their two extremely pop hits "High Hopes" and "Hey Look Ma, I Made It" just because they're mostly known as a rock band. |

Those charts like Hot Rock Songs, Hot R&B Songs, Hot Country songs, etc, etc.. are so fucking useless I pretend they don't exist, I only look at the airplay charts. |
