Come on guys, clearly what has happened here is that Amazon Music has taken over. This has nothing to do with the Corona Virus. ๐คก

If Rihanna and Adele don't release something, I'm gonna go insane. Like I'm already mad that Take What You Want didn't become a hit like it's supposed to while boring ass songs like Memories, Someone You Loved, and 10K Hours are radio darlings but Circles can stay. What really grinds my gears is Spotify releasing the charts late, are they run by snails or something? Same thing with Billboard charts, like come on Billboard where are the charts?. One thing I'm happy about is that The Box is dying and it's going to be replaced by either Blinding Lights or Don't Start Now. Oh look, a song that got popular from Tik Tok. Can we also talk about how amazing Drake is and how he can get big streams with only his name alone? I'm also wondering if there will be a Toni Braxton album bomb. Ladies and gentlemen, we have yet another contender for post of the year ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ Also, given there was a talk about opening album tracks having the highest debuts, I feel obliged to mention that there are exceptions, such as "Take What You Want", track 9 from "Hollywood's Bleeding", debuting the highest off the album. Also, "needy" by Ariana, track 2, debuted the highest from her album bomb, though that was probably because "imagine" was already a promo single, so people skipped straight into the next song. |

Letโs keep it real... His numbers are blatantly underwhelming. With all of the alleged hype, thereโs not a single song over 3M streams on U.S Spotify. Either way, Iโm sure heโll hold well throughout the week. His eras have always performed well in the longevity department. Welcome to the coronavirus era. This is as big an album debut you're gonna get until the outbreak is over. Speaking of... Did Digital numbers also decrease during the โSwine Fluโ era in 2009/2010? Iโm curious. There seems to be a new health pandemic at the beginning of every decade thus far starting with the 1990โs. I wonder what 2029/2030 will bring us. ๐คญ |

a bit underwhelming , definitely has something to do with the recent pandemic, because all the other songs are taking a deep too. i just dont get how though, i would expect streams to go up because everyone staying at home ? Streaming is up, but a lot of ppl are listening to familiar older songs that make them feel good or remember better times. People are seeking comfort. Heck, I just saw that the AC station in my momโs town (St Louis) flipped to 24-hour Xmas music! |

Then โRude Boyโ flew in... โข Gagaโs โBad Romanceโ getting blocked at #2 by two different songs and the riots that ensued thereafter. โข The entire world rejoicing when the Black Eyed Peas finally fell from number one on the Hot 100 and being replaced by a British-Pakistani. โข Ms. Streisand coming in like a Dark Horse and randomly surpassing Ms. Careyโs new album for the BB200 #1. โข Jay-Z finally getting a new number one as a Lead artist.

I wonder what 2029/2030 will bring us. ๐คญ Digital numbers did decrease then, but likely not due to the Swine Flu, more so because of the recession and people taken aback by the newly increased iTunes $1.29 price point. So I am not getting the love AT ALL for In Your Eyes, but if everyone does want it to be the next single and it is indeed confirmed it will get a radio push on Tuesday, maybe it's not such a bad idea because competition for new music is so low now, and the strategy of releasing BL itself the same time as Heartless didn't seem to hurt the former much overall in the long run. |

Can we talk about how 2009 was such a transitional year for pop music? The year introduced as the EDM boom that'll soon dominate the majority of the 2010s. It also introduced us to newer artists like Drake and Justin Bieber who defined the 2010s decade.

By the way, where are all the excess points for The Box coming from? Itโs not doing great on the radio and its streaming (at least on Spotify) is at normal levels. It should be at least closer to DSN

Well the lead The Box has over DSN on Streaming (You're forgetting YouTube, and its AM is probably still doing a lot) in terms of points is probably a lot greater than the lead DSN has over The Box on Radio.

It also introduced us to newer artists like Drake and Justin Bieber who defined the 2010s decade. With regards to 2009 being a โtransitional year for Pop musicโ, this is what I initially disliked most about the year itself. This was the year that many Urban and Rhythmic radio panels across the U.S were either closed down or switched to Pop stations (even Mediabase reported such) which, in turn, had a massive effect on R&B and Hip-Hop songs on the charts/Hot 100 in the early 2010โs. This is what lead to R&B and Hip-Hop songs rarely becoming top three chart hits between 2010-2015 as Pop radio had become so powerful and were now, solely, drawing in audience impressions (100M+ AI) that Urban and Rhythmic radio once drew in as a collective circa. 2002-2006. Of course the growth of iTunes and the Digital era played a part in this too but I wasnโt a fan of it at the time (even though my favourite artists still dominated the charts ala. Rihanna/Bruno Mars). Thank God for the Streaming era and the current Urban music dominance on Apple Music. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ |

This is a music forum but since someone mentioned it. This is the difference:
Swine flu Mortality rate was ~0.02% WW
COVID-19 mortality rate is 4% WW. In Italy it is 8.5%
from confirmed cases/deaths right now, the numbers will vary.

I understand what youโre saying now but, also, as 85la pointed out... We were in the midst of a massive recession at the time so it perhaps didnโt seem as if the Swine Flu pandemic had such heavy cultural impact as compared to Covoid-19, but I do recall it having constant media coverage and everyone panicking about whether or not they were immune/susceptible to it. Imagine if we were in a colossal recession now alongside living among this current Coronavirus outbreak? ๐ |
