Bilboard Hot 100: 04/04/2020

[Enigma.]

Regarding this streaming vs. radio thing, it's not like Circles is suddenly back to number one... if BL is #1 this week, that's probably correct and if The Box/DSN the week after, it's not a huge crime either.

Also, there are still huge amount of people working and listening to radio. Not everyone is at home. Kids are and that's where the loss is coming from.

NEW CHILDISH GAMBINO ALBUM OUT NOW

all hell is about to break loose Jesus fuck

[shaz196]

This Gambino album is so strange, only 2 songs with actual names, a blank white image for the coverart, songs that sound like they have hit potential that are 6 minutes long....and I'm loving every minute of it.

[higilo]

Ariana Grande, 21 Savage and more feature on the album

[shaz196]

I can totally see "35.31" becoming a tik tok hit

[dremolus - solarpunk]

The new Gambino album...is just so weird..This might need more listens than After Hours to really decode.

EDIT: Okay, just got through my first listen and I'll say this: the second half is much better than the first (even though I am annoyed 42.26 is literally just Feels Like Summer). The beats are much better, they feel more organic and more smooth, and they fit Donald Glover's voice more than the rubbery yet mechanical bass that's all over the record. I know that might be intentional but the more laidback organic side sounds better. The more "experimental" mold just sound like an attempt to emulate JPEGMAFIA's more erratic and chaotic style but all the songs go on way too long, and they're not any fun.

I’ve been seeing online that this is just a set of B-sides and that the actual album will come soon. Similar to how Frank Ocean released Endless a week before Blonde.

That makes sense given the lack of titles and the lack of a cover. Reminds me of untitled. unmastered.

I'll be honest, I don't even know Kenny's "The Gambler" and apparently it's his signature song? What? Gonna have to check it out.

The Gambler reached #16 on the Hot 100 while Island's In The Stream was #1 for 2 weeks and Lady was #1 for 6 weeks. he also had 7 other songs that went top 10.

Yeah, I know all of his top 10 hits, especially the #1s - those two songs I've known my whole life. But "The Gambler" somehow eluded me. Something familiar about the chorus though. 

[Keelzit]

Is this 'official' Childish Gambino album different than the now seemingly 'unofficial' Donald Glover Presents from 1-2 weeks ago? I'm confused.

They're the same album.

[jessutation]

I pray that Abel's songs don't take a huge nosedive on US Spotify today...I'm hoping the numbers are good.

Also, I'm hearing that Childish Gambino surprise-dropped an album? For someone like him surprise-dropping something with no hype following it is very risky...but who knows, he could still pull good numbers with label playlisting.

jessutation, if you're going to post the daily updates can you make sure to include when a song gains or loses a format? For example, yesterday Vibez gained 2 million audience due to it entering the top 50 on Rhythmic but you didn't include that detail in the update.

Okay, i will!

Adore You is coming for Memories Wig Tommorow. Blinding lights gaining on radio as it should what shouldn't be gaining on radio is Girls Like You I guess the soccer moms have time on the hands thanks to the Corona Virus.

If I'm being honest, these second-day numbers are decent...especially if you put into account that its a week(e)nd update, so people don't usually stream as much over the weekend. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic is still much alive so you'd expect these numbers to be much worse. I can see Abel pulling 260-295M streams first week.

[Enigma.]

The opening track of AH lost almost 50% :o Not good sign for longevity imo..

[jessutation]

Oh, dear...Dua Lipa's album just leaked :(

[annoymous1]

The blow isn't that bad as I thought it would be I thought all The Weeknd songs that were in the top 10 would leave the top 10 the following day except for Blinding Lights.

[jessutation]

I hate myself for listening to the album leak, but Dua Lipa easily has the best album of 2020 so far. Maybe I'm being a little biased, but this is slightly better than "After Hours" which I thought was probably the best album I've heard since "Lover" by T.S.

"Levitating" is that ONE song that stands out the most and I hope it becomes a single later on (If Dua's team is smart)...I can feel all the 80s dance vibes listening to "Levitating". "Break My Heart" is such a bop.

I noticed that it has 11 songs. Let's hope she doesn't spend the next two years tacking on several singles to the album to boost it's streams like she did with her last album.
