Billboard Hot 100: 05/09/2020

[iHype.]

Like half those songs are already online lol.

This is gonna be more of a Care Package situation, than a More Life situation tbh. 

Pain 1993 might chart decently after all the hype, and Toosie might climb but I can't see it doing damage across the board.

We're getting Drake's 8th #1 tonight.

It's not even outdoing Toosie lol. 

Toosie already is near top 10 on radio, and top 5 on Apple Music/Spotify before the release. We know project releases will just boost the huge single released prior to chart the highest.

Doesn't really matter either way. He's confirmed an album coming later this year. This is just a side project, obviously, based on how many songs here have either leaked or have been released on SoundCloud earlier in the year. Anyone expecting some massive damage on the charts should adjust their expectations accordingly. I'm glad he even said it himself that they're all a bunch leaks and joints from SoundCloud. I'm just happy some of the songs here are getting an official release.

[rainie]

is Drake just trying to make the year as shitty as possible? it's not even may, jfc. we've been through enough

[kindofbiased]

sis i can't do jack about the coronavirus but that doesn't mean i'm not fucking pissed about it

[Crimsonio]

I could be reaching, but I think Gaga is releasing at either midnight or next week 100%

[gabe]

you all seem pressed! maybe we need this new drake music to calm you all down. the anger coming out of your posts, wow!

i hope gaga releases tonight!

[atg]

Jheez i’m just now seeing this drake news and y’all already went off 1-2 hours ago

[atg]

At least we’re getting a 14 track project instead of a 30 or 40 this time around. It will be his first project with a quantity this low since nothing was the same and even then if you’re counting all versions of each of his projects, Thank Me Later was the last one with less than 15 tracks

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Better quality than quantity. The latter lends itself for a lot of filler.

Travis Scott's Streams & Sales Leap Following 'Fortnite' Virtual Concert
4/30/2020 by Kevin Rutherford , Keith Caulfield


Scott's catalog drew 24.4 million streams on April 24, the same day he released new single "The Scotts" with Kid Cudi.

Buzz surrounding Travis Scott's April 23 virtual Fortnite concert, along with the premiere of his brand-new song, spurred streaming and sales gains for multiple tracks in the rapper's catalog.
On April 24, the day after the concert, dubbed "Astronomical" -- and the day that he released new single "The Scotts," with Kid Cudi, at midnight ET, after it premiered during the set -- Scott racked up 24.4 million U.S. on-demand streams of his songs (in both lead and featured roles), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. He drew 10.3 million streams on April 23, marking a 136% surge.

Of course, some of that gain can be attributed to the arrival of "The Scotts." Still, subtracting streams of "The Scotts" on April 24, Scott's prior discography earned 14.3 million streams that day, a still-hefty boost of 38%. Scott's concert was repeated in-game on April 24 and 25.


As previously reported, "The Scotts" is in the running for the No. 1 spot on next week's Billboard Hot 100, dated May 9.
Gains for Scott's songs actually date to the concert's April 20 announcement. If one compares his April 19 streams (5.5 million total) vs. those on April 24, minus "The Scotts" (14.3 million), Scott scored an even larger jump: 160%.

On the sales side, Scott's catalog soared by 1,488% to 34,000 downloads on April 24, up from 2,000 on April 23. Subtracting "The Scotts," his catalog still moved 4,000 downloads on April 24, a 69% gain.

Leading the way in streams of Scott's songs other than "The Scotts," 2018's Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Sicko Mode" drew 2.2 million streams on April 24, up from 1.5 million on April 23. The song is one of five that Scott performed during the concert; in addition to "The Scotts" and "Sicko Mode," he showcased his 2019 leader "Highest in the Room" (2.1 million, up from 1.5 million), 2018's "Stargazing" (964,000, up from 524,000) and 2017's "Goosebumps" (1.8 million, up from 1 million).

The Fortnite spotlight should also spur gains for Scott's albums on next week's Billboard 200, dated May 9. 2018's Astroworld could earn 25,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 30, per industry forecasters, which would likely send the set into the top 15, from No. 30 (17,000 units). 2016's Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight will likely return to the top 50, from No. 120, with perhaps 13,000 units (up from 8,000).

[Gary]

What’s wrong with Chris Browns music?

[wavey.]

Wow. Just wow. Like it really needs to cool down in here. Please.

Drake releasing as soon as Travis is having success. I think he's bothered by Travis and his 3 consecutive #1 singles.

Definitely not consecutive. 5 singles as a lead artist in between SM and HITR 1 in between HITR and The Scotts.

Its hard to separate an artist from their music when they are a known abuser

[GP]

We'll Drake is coming in the summer, so I'm sure we'll talk abt him no matter what every single week there's that. (like we always would)

Everyone say goodbye to Circles, as this is probably it's final week in the Top 10 if Drake releases

What a legendary fucking run. I salute you good soldier, let's go for 53+ weeks now 

[Naos]

"Dame Tu Cosita" is apparently the top song on YouTube worldwide right now... how and why?

[mako]

Man, imagine not having a life and just beefing in the H100 threads.

I'm reporting every post that isn't relevant to the discussion

[atg]

At least we got a quality drake project (i don’t know if this is an album, mixtape, compilation, etc).



Does that mean toosie slide was a lead single then? or it can’t be because about 5 leaked songs before it got onto the project
