So Lady Gaga will have #1s in 2009, 2011, 2019 and 2020. Weird but impressive.

3 different decades! joining an elite group:

Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Mariah Carey and Beyoncé all have #1's in 3 different decades.

Mariah Carey and Beyoncé are the only two that have been at the top in 4 different decades.

You should either count all the artists that have 3 #1s group+solo or you should exclude Beyonce from having a #1 in 4 different decades.

And yeah Billboard is so inconsistent so neither way is wrong (counting only solo vs counting the group work aswell).

[Push The Button]

I was gonna say, if “Sonny and Cher” doesn’t count for Cher, then how does Destiny’s Child count for Beyoncé?

[Enigma.]

Sour Candy got 5.77M listens on Spotify globally according to play count. It might actually chart this week, albeit very low.

It’s happened plenty of times. Finesse Remix debuted in the 30s after a day of sales/streaming and Chun-Li debuted in the 90s after half a day of sales/streaming.

Anyone else lowkey surprised at how Toosie Slide is doing? Yes, #1 hit and all, but it's doing worse than Life is Good while being clearly designed to go viral. It was pretty shortlived when compared to some other Drake hits.

“Just Dance” was #1 the week of Christmas in 2008.

Close, but not quite. Just Dance was #1 in sales that week, but Single Ladies also had high sales and more airplay, so Single Ladies got it that week and Just Dance went to number one the following week. Both charts were dated for January 2009 though, the 10th and 17th respectively.

Yeah, although it's held up better than I thought it might have, its streaming and airplay actually being decently stable and still ranking in the top 5 overall after 7 weeks. Not a huge fan of the song, but it didn't drop out of the top 10 its second week or anything like several other recent #1's.

Regarding the solo vs. group #1 billing issue, I think the reason they don't include Cher's work as part of Sonny & Cher is because even though her name is listed separately, they regularly performed as an officially billed duo separate from their solo careers, unlike other separate solo acts that just collaborate with each other, such as Rihanna feat. Jay Z or Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber. This type of reasoning seems logical and consistent (most of the time; there might be some grey areas that could be debatable), so I think it's fair that they don't include that (along with soloists that are/used to be part of a separate group in which their names aren't listed).

Further examples like this that shouldn't count: Paul McCartney and the Wings, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Hall & Oates, etc.

Even songs that go viral die out eventually. Also, considering the streaming climate we're currently in and considering when it was released, it's doing just fine and it's done better that a lot of other #1 hits released around the same time like the Scotts and Stuck With U.

The songs that have had longevity in the top 10 so far this year were all released before the Coronavirus outbreak and streaming taking a dip. So far, only ROCKSTAR and Toosie Slide have endured in the top 10 despite being released less than 2 months ago. Every other song has debuted in the top 10 and fallen off.

It's performance shouldn't be judged harshly. It's not the lead single off his album and for the lead single off a throwaway project, it's done really well.

It's not defending him. Someone else had the same point as me. A question was asked and I answered. Simple.

[Limited Edition]

So people really don't like In Your Eyes, not even the remix which I think is even better? It might be getting overshadowed by Blinding Lights but I was expecting more success

[85la]

^ yeah I actually don't like the song at all, but most others did and seemed to think it had huge hit potential, so for that reason I'm very surprised as well. Similar thing with Break My Heart, which is showing frustratingly slow growth and diminishing chances of becoming a huge hit. I guess this idea of artists finding it harder and harder to score hits post-album release is a real thing.

The 5/30 thread is closed, thus...

Billboard wrote that Nicki Minaj was no longer listed as a featured act on "Say So"- yet the Hot 100 chart lists her.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing too, and I'm not sure if her still being credited on the chart is an error or they decided to backtrack on their prior decision.

This always happens with remixes. It looks like the artist is credited every week if they were credited once. I assume there’s some technical reason why they can’t split it out. You can go back and it’ll say Doja Cat ft. Nicki Minaj even in weeks before the remix was released.

'Rain' Is in the Billboard Hot 100's Forecast: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande Set for Big Debut
5/29/2020 by Gary Trust


"Rain on Me" could launch as Gaga's fifth No. 1 and Grande's fourth.

Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's new single "Rain on Me" appears headed for a thunderous debut, possibly at No. 1, on next week's Billboard Hot 100 songs chart (dated June 6).
The duet was released to digital service providers for streaming and purchase at midnight ET Friday, May 22, while its official video premiered that afternoon. The song is the second single from Gaga's album Chromatica, which arrived today (May 29); first single "Stupid Love" debuted and peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 in March.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data.

According to projections based on industry forecasts and building Nielsen Music/MRC Data figures, "Rain" could draw over 25 million U.S. streams and 8 million in radio airplay audience and sell over 50,000 in its first full tracking week.

The song is aiming to dethrone Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, after the latter ascended to No. 1 on the May 30-dated Hot 100.
Notably, if "Rain" opens atop the Hot 100, it would mark the first instance of an all-female collaboration supplanting another. It would additionally become the third such No. 1 in four weeks, after "Savage" and Doja Cat's "Say So," featuring Nicki Minaj (May 16). In the Hot 100's nearly 62-year history prior to "Say So," just five songs exclusively by multiple solo women reigned.

Grande, meanwhile, would earn not only her fourth Hot 100 No. 1, but would become the first artist with four No. 1 debuts, as her first three leaders have all opened atop the tally: "Thank U, Next" (November 2018), "7 Rings" (February 2019) and "Stuck With U," with Justin Bieber, two weeks ago (May 23). Grande, Bieber, Mariah Carey and Drake currently share the record with three No. 1 debuts each.

A No. 1 launch for "Rain" on the Hot 100 would earn Gaga her fifth leader and second chart-topping entrance, following "Born This Way" in February 2011. With such a start, she would claim the mark for the longest span of No. 1 debuts: nine years, three months and one week.

The top 10 of the June 6-dated Hot 100 is scheduled to be revealed Monday (June 1), with all charts updating on Billboard.com Tuesday (June 2).

[HolidayGuy]

Ahh- that well could be, tommy. GoldenB- if what tommy said is the reason, then not a matter of backtracking, but a technical issue.

My guess is that the streaming and sales numbers are too conservative. Radio airplay is probably about right.

Congrats Gaga & AG!! Woo!

Also, "Rain on Me" is currently #2 on Apple Music. Holy crap.

I assume they have to keep the same credit for each song so that the website automatically updates stuff like peak, no. of weeks etc. Once they settle on a credit, it adapts to all the charts the song is in, which is why "Perfect" now only credits Ed even in the weeks when Bey was originally listed. If they drop the Nicki credit now, she might disappear even from the week the song went #1. Bey has "Perfect" on her artist page with only Ed's name under it lol, I assume the same would happen to Nicki.

[Golden Bluebird]

I mean, I know that there's most likely a technical reason why they can't make the crediting different week to week and that the song has to have the same credits every week on their charts. However, if they decided Nicki shouldn't be credited anymore, then shouldn't they change it so Doja appear as the sole credited artist on every week "Say So" has been in the chart?

If they dared doing that for Perfect in spite of the Beyhive, I don't see why they shouldn't the same with Say So in spite of the Barbz.
