Billboard Hot 100: 05/09/2020

[Lukas]

I honestly don't see how people are not getting Savage inside top 5. The remix did really well on Wednesday/Thursday where me & globalsmash figured out that even if we went conservative we would still have it at a comfortable margin over Say So and Don't Start Now. (The fact that y'all are hiding your raw data too does not help).

This is the prediction we compiled together:

[bbfan97]

I don't get how simms doesn't have The Scotts at #1, especially that far behind BL. It doesn't make any sense

[Enigma.]

I assume that NBY is the next song to collapse on country now that it has reached the #1 on country airplay.

[fhas]

[kcdawg13]

Wow what an unpredictable week

[Myth X]

65k sales for The Scotts? LMAO

Did he really go that far with the bundles? Lowest in the Room did 51k


Many people here overestimated Stupid Love sales so it's not easy to predict the number of sales when these artists use bundles

[tanooki]

final predictions

1 THE SCOTTS 349 NEW
2 Blinding Lights 332 -1
3 Toosie Slide 269 -1
4 The Box 269 -1
5 Savage 243 +9
6 Say So 237 -1

i dont get ur point here, what are you trying to say by bringing up the difficulty of predicting physical sales when you think 65k is too high

This is an instance where I could actually see the song having a slow drop on the Country AirPlay chart. It is still fairly young for country chart run standards and well received.

Why is that an LMAO moment when Billboard literally made an article that hugely conservatively predicted The Scotts to get over 45,000 sales and Blinding Lights to only get 10,000?

Also, respect HITR please. It hit #1 and amassed an impressive 47M on-demand streams on its first week.

[GP]

Now everyone's predicting top5 for Savage woww if it does come thru, especially with one day and 4 hours. Beyonce damnnn

[sirskimask]

Scotts better go #1

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

It would suck if Juice WRLD debuts at 11...eesh

Also tanooki I LOVE AHSOKA 😭😭😭

Made an slight error in my sales formula but here's my raw data for Say So vs. Savage:

Sales: 6k v.s 19.2k
Streams: 19.02m vs. 29.07m
Airplay: 95.64m vs. 41.07m
Total: 24,800 vs. 24,000

I probably overestimated Say So's airplay or underestimated Savage's sales.

May the 4th Be With You: Remembering the Bizarre 'Star Wars' No. 1 Disco Hit

May the 4th Be With You: Remembering the Bizarre 'Star Wars' No. 1 Disco Hit
5/4/2020 by Joe Lynch



Whether you like it or not, the Internet is full of those wishing "May the 4th be with you" today, May 4.
So in honor of the greatest film trilogy of all time (which spawned two other trilogies of varying degrees of quality), we're looking back on the disco-fied version of the Star Wars theme song that ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1977.

Created by Pennsylvania-born producer Meco (real name Domenico Monardo) -- and hailing from an album titled (no joke) Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk -- this Chic take on John Williams' iconic theme is one of the biggest instrumental hits of all time. It's also one of the most frequently ignored parts of Star Wars lore (the pornographic Jetsons cover art is partly to blame for that).
But make no mistake: Meco's disco version of the Star Wars theme is pure pleasure from start to finish. Is it cheesy? Yes. Was it a crass commercial cash-in? Of course. But when has either stopped us from loving Star Wars before?

Back in 1977, a disco version of Star Wars probably didn’t seem that ill-advised. Disco was the most innovative new music genre making real headway on the charts; Star Wars was the most wildly successful movie from a crop of up-and-coming Hollywood directors.

It only made sense that Star Wars and disco, finding themselves awash with instant success and excess money, would copulate behind closed doors to produce this beautiful love child. And for two weeks, America got caught up in the heat of the moment and made "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band" the No. 1 single in the country.

But as with so many hastily conceived children, one of its progenitors would soon regret and disown it (just mention this song to George Lucas and watch his ever-present scowl deepen).

And like so many drunk on a Saturday Night Fever, America eventually woke up with a raging hangover and threw itself into a heartfelt Sunday morning penance. Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" -- a pop hit that could easily double for religious music -- ousted the Star Wars theme from the No. 1 spot and ruled the Hot 100 for an astounding 10 weeks thereafter.

In hindsight, Debby Boone crushing an intergalactic love child makes perfect sense. America's post-party Puritanical purges have always lasted longer than its hedonistic binges. But on a day where we welcome Star Wars into our hearts, let's allow Meco's disco version of the theme another dalliance with our feet and our hips -- if only for a brief moment.

[Gary]

There was also an Empire Strikes Back version a few years later that was also a hit (didn't go to #1 though)

Also one about the Ewok's in 1983

When should we expect the charts?
