Billboard Hot 100: 04/25/2020

[renaboss]

Tik Tok for me, 5th out of 9 weeks at #1. Not bad. Shame for Bad Romance though.

[josephmorgan]

The song that was #1 for a second of five weeks on my 18th birthday was "Too Close" by the Minneapolis R&B trio called Next.

This weeks April top 10 flashback weren't all bad there was some good song and some classic they weren't downright terrible tho maybe except A Theme From a Summer's Place imo and that's just because I don't like classical music.

Interesting you’d call that song classical music. I hear it as totally pop instrumental music. I think it’s a great song but I’m old.

I know right? Some people's #1 songs on their 18th birthday are Old Town Road, Bad Guy even Toosie Slide like whattt?? That made me feel a bit old haha.

I guess it's a mix of classical and pop instrumental? and yes Theme from A Summer Place is one of my fave #1s of the 60s. Love is Blue by Paul Mauriat is nice as well.

[jebsib]

Theme from a Summer Place was the #4 pop hit of ALL TIME for the first 20 years of the Hot 100. Enormous.

I really couldn't put a pinpoint on what I could classify it as it probably is pop instrumental music if that is what it's called then yeah the pop instrumental music isn't my thing.

Man, we're the same age. I still think those born in our era are fortunate to have witnessed the transition from analog to digital in our growing years haha.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}I was already working for a couple years when I joined this forum. I discovered this, thanks to someone posting Mediabase charts in ATRL. My first exposure to the Internet when I was in junior year in high school, and back then I remember reading about Billboard charts in a local broadsheet.

My profession expects me to be somewhat savvy with the latest tech trends and thankfully I easily get a hang on many of those (except TikTok perhaps haha), but forum sites will always be my comfort zone. =)

[forg]

I'm pleasantly surprised too that there are many teens on Pulse, I also assumed most teens are "what's a message board/online forum" these days lol
But I'm glad the young folks still see value in arguing discussing in threads with pagination!

[aznsinger]

On my 18th birthday, Work by Rihanna was number one. LOL dang it

[GP]

8 all female songs on AM T100 (Savage, Don't Start Now, Say So, B.S., Dance Monkey, everything i wanted, Pussy Fairy, Break my Heart)

Why do I feel like this has been more than usual for Apple Music  :o

I will join...on my 18th bday, I Will Always Love You/ Whitney Houston

Lonely at the Top: The Weeknd Extends Soloists' Streak at No. 1 on the Hot 100, Longest Since Late '90s
4/23/2020 by Gary Trust


Songs without co-leads or features have led for 34 straight weeks, the longest such stretch since 1997-1998
As The Weeknd reclaims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated April 25) with "Blinding Lights," following a one-week interruption by Drake's "Toosie Slide," singularly billed acts continue a notable run atop the chart.

No duets or songs with features have led for 34 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of Lizzo's seven-week command with "Truth Hurts" on the Sept. 7, 2019-dated survey.
The streak, which also encompasses No. 1s by Travis Scott, Lewis Capaldi, Selena Gomez, Post Malone, Mariah Carey and Roddy Ricch, is the longest since a 38-week stretch (also including Carey) from Sept. 13, 1997, through May 30, 1998.

(While now rarer, such runs were commonplace from the Hot 100's inception through the mid-'90s. The longest streak of single acts topping the tally began with the inaugural chart, dated Aug. 4, 1958, and ran through April 8, 1967: 453 consecutive weeks, or nearly nine years.)

Beyond No. 1, 76% of all Hot 100 top 10s in the past 34 weeks belong to solo-credited acts. In the prior 34 frames, only 50% did.
Further, 28 of the last 31 songs to enter the top 10 have been fully solo efforts, a haul of 90% dating to the beginning of November.

Timing factors into the current trend atop the Hot 100, as, for instance, Future's "Life Is Good," featuring Drake, peaked at No. 2 for eight weeks.
Also contributing: Five holiday hits returned to the top 10 starting in December, including four recorded in the 1950s-'60s, long before the amount of hit collaborations swelled.
Still, a clear shift has emerged, driven most heavily by hip-hop hits. In line with all-genre numbers, hip-hop's share of Hot 100 top 10s has remained largely constant (55% in the most recent 34 weeks vs. 50% in the prior 34 frames), but solo efforts in the genre have grown to 70% from 50%.

Highlighting the surge, Lil Uzi Vert has notched four unaccompanied top 10s since December; The Weeknd, before "Blinding Lights," led solo with "Heartless" for a week in December; and Roddy Ricch's "The Box" ruled for 11 frames beginning in January.

Breaking down recent hip-hop hits by gender, Lizzo, thanks to "Truth Hurts" and subsequent No. 3 smash "Good as Hell," has played a prominent part in the rise of single billings throughout the chart's upper reaches, as has another female rapper-singer: Doja Cat earns her first top five Hot 100 hit on the latest list, as "Say So," on RCA Records, jumps from No. 8 to No. 5.

RCA co-president Joe Riccitelli notes that the label's A&R team isn't necessarily scaling back on features, and cites the versatility of many current hip-hop acts as partly responsible for any downturn in co-leads or features. "It's on a song-by-song basis," he says. "But, from singing to rapping to producing, these artists are multi-talented."

I love this little inclusion in the article 😍

And for an era in music where many were complaining that acts needed features to get to #1, this is a great and impressive achievement.

[atg]

I was so confused at the article but now i get it
