Billboard Hot 100: 05/16/2020

I like this sudden change in the top ten- it makes it really exciting to think there is actually going to be a fight for a spot in the top five

[dovahduck]

Well this is tough:

Is it me or does that coverart look similar to The Scotts'?

Ugh, of all the pop artists from 2015 we could give hits now, it had to be Melanie Martinez. Btb, this has nothing to do with the allegations towards her (although, those don't help).

[Normi]

So
Savage remix is cute
Say So remix adds nothing to the song
My Oh My remix is ok, Gunna adds an actual bridge which is good I think
The new Marshmello x Halsey song is the highlight of the week, goosebumps over my body she sounds great, probably her best song since Without Me

[GP]

Toosie's probably n1 this week I fear

[drakefanovo]

I’m ready to see these Spotify numbers. I’m guessing around 15-25 million streams total in the first day for Spotify US. No way it outdoes more life. It’s like 5-6 leaked songs on there. and care package was 17 songs, this is 3 less.

"The Scotts" already #1 on Rolling Stone. Is that chart having any impact?

Also, someone please explain to me who the Scotts are on "The Scotts", since it's a credited act.

Travis Scott and Scott Mescudi.

So Travis is basically credited twice? I don't care for that. Why couldn't it just be Travis Scott, Scott Mescudi and Kid Cudi? Also, who the hell is Scott Mescudi?

Speaking of which, wonder if Kesha has ever released that song featuring Ke$ha. Gonna look into that.

That is the legal name of Kid Cudi.  Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi

[shaz196]

What's the Spotify play counter saying?

Americans and their lack of taste. War is an absolute banger.

[Enigma.]

Pain 1993 did better than Toosie right out of the gate. The power of album release.

Impressive for Say So combined.

Still confused then. Wonder how Billboard credits them. I would hate to see both The Scotts and their individual names, though I figure that might happen so that Travis isn't robbed of a 3rd #1 in his tally. Which he deserves since he robbed Drake of one. 

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Damn, Playboi Carti is going to get his first top 10 hit.

[shaz196]

Assuming the Spotify numbers are 35% of Drake's total streams he did nearly 70 million streams total with other platforms. What do we think his final numbers will be?

[drakefanovo]

He’s bigger on apple so I assume atleast 60 million streams first day if you add in all streaming services?

[Enigma.]

With Toosie, the ratio definitely isn't 65/35, maybe more like 50/50 but there are people who might know better.

Well no. Scorpion first week 42% was from Spotify, Scorpion week 2 41% was from Spotify, More Life first week 42% was from Spotify.

If the percentage drop each day is the exact same as Scorpion, Dark Lane Demo Tapes will end up with 221,679,837 total streams (93,105,531 from Spotify)

Edit: I will repost this.

i have a feeling this release will be more Apple Music weighted b/c he didn't do any promotion and Spotify is generally his more casual fan base so wouldn't be as caught up

[nak]

So y'all think Pain 1993 be #1 this week or...?

[fhas]

In 2017/2018, YouTube wasn't counted on the BB200 chart. It could add ~5k units.

True

[failstoner]

Top 3 debut is likely for Drake, but I don't see it going number 1

[tuna]

Without Drake, Be Kind would have debuted around #8
