Now that we have some hindsight, is there a concensus on when the charts pivoted towards a return to Hip-Hop dominance? Radio audience being weighed down heavily. Yep. I think it also dovetails with Megan, Roddy, and the Babies each organically having huge career moments right now, and many pop stars probably waiting until after quarantine to release new projects (since they rely more heavily on touring and TV appearances for promotion, as opposed to rappers who have enormous streaming fanbases). |

so glad watermelon sugar is smashing, canโt remember how long itโs been since a post album single did this well, especially on streaming. What? The only definition of a post album single is one released before the album. Watermelon Sugar was released one month BEFORE the album. You should look towards, say, Say So if you want to celebrate an actual incident. |

They did a "mini" re-calibration of radio audience this week. It's not huge, but it's enough to give #3 for Blinding Lights over Savage and #8 for Watermelon Sugar vs. Blueberry Faygo (BF has more audience, but re-calibration helps Pop Radio more than it helps Rhythmic/R&B/Hip-Hop).

Are they going to to do these mini re-calibrations every or every other week? |

With the exception of Rockstar& Say So this isn't the most disappointing top 10 I guess. As a whole the top 10 has been pretty disappointing though

The only definition of a post album single is one released before the album. Watermelon Sugar was released one month BEFORE the album. You should look towards, say, Say So if you want to celebrate an actual incident. The fact that Watermelon Sugar was released as an instant gratification track actually makes it the perfect candidate for this discussion. The prevailing argument is that streaming ages songs faster, preventing them from getting big numbers when they're later released as official singles (thus shortening the length of album eras). A song that came out before the album, especially one that received a significant amount of buzz upon release, would theoretically be more vulnerable this phenomenon than a little-heard album track. Obviously that concern is still legitimate. And obviously Watermelon Sugar is a unique situation; radio was itching to play a follow-up to Adore You, it sounds like the perfect summer song, it hadn't been all over the streaming playlists, and it's benefiting from a really popular TikTok challenge. But the point still remains that Watermelon Sugar is proving you can post big numbers as a post-album-release single, even if you're "old news" to the artist's hardcore fans. |

Watermelone Sugar is really unique case. the song got big streams/attention when it was released as promo track and with album.
it never left spotify 200 as fa as I remember, even in USA. then as soon as the MV was released stream exploded.
the MV wasn't even big budget, with big star or controveral at all. Also the most important thing, "no remix".
it's all naturally just Power of song itself. really impressive.
