Yeah... Say So is falling in all metrics while Blinding Lights is stable (probably top 4 in all metrics this week).

You are mistaken.  "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs was the first song to not top the Hot 100 (it peaked at #2), but be #1 on the Year-End list of singles.

That was in 1965.

"Surfin' U.S.A." by The Beach Boys in 1963 was actually the first song to miss #1 on the Hot 100 (peaking at #3) but finish on the year-end chart at #1.

Later lists put "Sugar Shack" by Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs atop the year-end chart. "Sugar Shack" finished at #40 on the initial list.

"California Dreamin'", by The Mamas & The Papas, was also the OG YE #1 for 1966, until it was revised and they gave it to S/Sgt. Barry Sadler's "Ballad of the Green Berets".

"Surfin' U.S.A.", "Wooly Bully", "California Dreamin'", "Breathe" and "Hanging by a Moment" ALL feel like #1s to me. What a shame.

Thanks for the correction. I'm sure I won't forget that.

Billboard Top 10 Flashback:

June 18, 2005

01 01 We Belong Together - Mariah Carey (3rd of 14 weeks at #1)

This week, Mariah Carey would break the Hot 100 Airplay audience record previously set by Mario’s “Let Me Love You” in February 2005.

• “Let Me Love You” peaked at 185M audience impressions via. BDS and 224M audience impressions via. Mediabase.

• “We Belong Together” would soar past the former, garnering 191M audience impressions via. BDS and 230M audience impressions via. Mediabase.

The following week, she would break her own record once again, climbing to 195M AI and 234M AI respectively.

Three weeks later, on the July 9th issue, she would peak on radio with both a spins & audience record that wasn’t broken until eight years later with Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”. She also became the first artist to place at number one on 9 individual charts that week and the top three of 5 different radio formats:

Pop (#1), Rhythmic (#1), Urban (#1), Urban AC (#1), AC (#3). ☠️

I feel so privileged to have been able to watch “We Belong Together’s” monstrous radio ascent at the time. A time like no other. ❤️

Ugh a moment. The way everyone wrote her off and she released the biggest hit of the decade.

The song blocking "Shake It Off"

I think she was one of the first artists to have two songs with 200M+ AI with "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together"?

This week is so boring Billboard forgot about it?

Billboard Top 10 from 35, 30, 25, and 20 years ago:

June 17, 2000

01 06 Try Again - Aaliyah (1st and only week at #1)

Ugh. This song still sounds fresh today and goes off. The fact it became the first song to go #1 solely on airplay omg. It's power.

[waluigionascooter]

I just realized, Blueberry Faygo could just sneak into the Top 10 if Billboard counted some streams/sales people here forgot about.

Aaliyah ❤❤❤... Try Again is one the best, most iconic Timbaland productions ever!

Also, I knew that Maria Maria was one of the weakest #1s of all-time the week before, but I didn't know it fell 1-8. I guess the top 10 was really close in points in June 2000 (I read somewhere that the top 5 was within ~1k points) and it makes sense that Breathe was the YE #1 despite peaking at #2 while Maria Maria was "only" #3 with its 10 weeks atop the chart. There wasn't a huge difference between #1 and #2 at the time, so longevity was the key for #1 on the YE chart.

"Try Again" was also the first song to hit number one without a commercially available single. The overall low chart points at that time finally made it possible for a song to top the chart with no sales whatsoever (in an era where that still mattered).

Wow I had no idea the top 5 was that close!

I've always wondered why "Try Again" was #12 on the year end chart while "He Wasn't Man Enough" was #10, considering "Try Again" had 15 weeks in the top 10 & 22 weeks in the top 20, while "He Wasn't Man Enough" had 7 weeks in the top 10 & 24 weeks in the top 20

But I guess the close point totals makes sense

And Oops! managed to hit no. 9 Hot 100, with its no. 8 Hot 100 Airplay that week. A missed opportunity to not release main physical single. Such an easy no. 1 For Britney.
A weird decision to only release physical single for Baby, From The Bottom and Stronger during her first 2 eras.
If her team wanted huge album sales by limiting single sales, just see Xtina's debut. Still sold almost 10 million in US with 4 consecutive strong selling hits (physical available-singles).

Xtina's debut is super impressive for this reason - she almost pushed 10M in album sales despite having 4 physical singles (3 #1s and a top 3).

Maria Maria's 10th week at #1

Christina Aguilera missed an opportunity with “I Turn To You” also, which was released a week later and leapt from #17 - #3 on the Hot 100, placing behind Enrique Iglesias’ “Be With You” and Aaliyah’s “Try Again”.

It debuted at #2 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart behind “Be With You”, briefly missing the number one position. It eventually peaked at #1 on the sales chart two weeks later but had it fallen drastically in Airplay at that point and thus fell down the Hot 100.

It would’ve been a short-lived one-week number one for her, but she could’ve potentially scored 4 #1 singles from her debut release. brady47

4. Be With You - 90 points (85~ million audience, 5k~ sales)
5. You Sang to Me - 90 points (50~ million audience, 40k~ sales)

8. Maria Maria - 85 points (65~ million audience, 20k~ sales)

What is the hold up today? It’s not like there was a tight competition for #1.

Well, the discrepancy was actually a little bigger. A good comparison is both of their first albums, which right at the end of their eras, Britney's was at 12 million (per RIAA) while Christina's was at 7 million (per RIAA), so the withholding of the physical singles for Britney could very well have led to much higher album sales. Britney's second album, Oops, was also higher than Christina's first, tallying 9 million about a year after its release. It's also far from certain that even if all her singles did have a physical, they would have shot straight to the top, as indicated by From the Bottom and Stronger. Though she has many familiar songs, surprisingly they haven't all done too well on airplay and Britney has just been much more of an album artist for most of her career.

DaBaby & Roddy Ricch's 'Rockstar' Rules Hot 100 for 2nd Week, Justin Bieber & Quavo's 'Intentions' Hits Top 5
www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9402603/dababy-rockstar-number-one-second-week-hot-100

1. Rockstar (=)
2. Savage (=)
3. Blinding Lights (=)
4. Say So (=)
5. Intentions (+3)
6. Toosie Slide (=)
7. Roses (+3)
8. Don't Start Now (-1)
9. The Box (=)
10. Rain On Me (-5)


DaBaby's "Rockstar," featuring Roddy Ricch, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Plus, Justin Bieber's "Intentions," featuring Quavo, jumps from No. 8 to No. 5 on the Hot 100. The song becomes Bieber's 16th top five hit and Quavo's third, all tallied in collaborations with Bieber.

"Rockstar," released on SouthCoast/Interscope Records, posts a fourth week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, with 35.7 million U.S. streams (up 3%) in the week ending June 11, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. It lifts 4-3 on Digital Song Sales with 12,000 sold (up 10%) in the week ending June 11 and 36-26 on Radio Songs with 26.1 million audience impressions (up 30%) in the week ending June 14, hitting new highs on both charts.

"Rockstar" marks the first Hot 100 No. 1 to notch multiple weeks on top after a run in which five songs each spent a first and lone week at the summit: Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain on Me," which debuted atop the June 6 chart; Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," featuring Beyoncé (May 30); Grande and Bieber's "Stuck With U" (May 23); Doja Cat's "Say So," featuring Nicki Minaj (May 16); and The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi's "The Scotts" (May 9).

That streak, now snapped, stands as the longest since six songs each tallied a week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in September-November 1990, before Mariah Carey's "Love Takes Time" began a three-week reign.

"Rockstar" concurrently rules the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which employ the same multi-metric formula as the Hot 100, for a second week each.

---

Megan Thee Stallion's former Hot 100 No. 1 "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, holds at No. 2. It scores a second week atop Digital Song Sales (12,000, down 9%) and keeps at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (25.9 million, down 2%) and No. 6 on Radio Songs (53.8 million, up less than 1%).

The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" is steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after four weeks at No. 1. It rules Radio Songs for a 10th week, marking the first of The Weeknd's four leaders on the list to dominate for double-digit weeks, with 75.2 million in audience (down 1%). The track tallies a 13th week atop the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart.

Doja Cat's former one-week Hot 100 leader "Say So" holds at No. 4.

Bieber's "Intentions," featuring Quavo, bounds 8-5 on the Hot 100. It rises 4-3 on Radio Songs (60.6 million, up 5%), 12-10 on Digital Song Sales (7,000, up 7%) and 18-17 on Streaming Songs (13 million, up 2%).

Bieber adds his 16th top five Hot 100 hit and fourth to rank in the region this year, twice the amount of the next closest acts in 2020; Drake, Grande, Lady Gaga, Roddy Ricch and The Weeknd each boast two since January. "Intentions" follows the No. 1 "Stuck With U," with Grande; "Yummy," which debuted at its No. 2 peak in January; and Bieber's Dan + Shay duet "10,000 Hours," which returned to the region in January after it debuted at its No. 4 high last October.


Drake's "Toosie Slide" is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after spending a week at No. 1, and SAINt JHN's "Roses" ascends 10-7, hitting a new high. The latter claims top Sales Gainer honors on the Hot 100 (9,000 sold, up 23%) and rebounds for a seventh week atop the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.


Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" drops 7-8 on the Hot 100, after peaking at No. 2; Roddy Ricch's former 11-week leader "The Box" is stationary at No. 9; and Lady Gaga and Grande's "Rain on Me" falls 5-10, following its No. 1 launch two weeks ago, but earns the chart's top Airplay Gainer award for a second week (24.2 million in radio reach, up 38%).
