Billboard Hot 100: 08/01/2020

[starlord]

yes Juice Wrld in Top 10.

[Naos]

"Go Crazy" reaching #10 is interesting, the video was enough to skyrocket it that high.

[lazer]

I hope Drake will release an album that has a similar quality to TML and Take Care. His "Folklore" I presume.

[iamsorare]

Chris Brown did it again.another hit

We've now had 4 #1 sellers this year that were at 15k or lower (Savage, Savage, God Bless the USA, Popstar).
At this point last year, we'd only had one #1 seller that was at 30k or lower (Shallow).

I wonder if by the middle of next year, even getting to 5 digits will be a minor victory.

I feel so old buying digital music. And CDs.

That 8-10 section is super weak. Greece was like #5 in streaming. Usually that's enough for low top 20. For the Night should be top ten instead of those three even. It was dominating on AM at least.

Greece literally was higher on the streaming chart, airplay chart, and sales chart than For the Night but it deserved to be lower?

Um okay. Lmao, the usual with you. 

[amid]

The sad fact that this is another top ten for Chris Brown is balanced out by the fact that this is another top ten for Young Thug (and his first as a lead)

[iamsorare]

Chris Brown officially has top 10 hits in 3 different decades (2000's, 2010's and 2020's).

It just seems that way to me as Greece was super frontloaded.

And yes, I think it's an awful song too lol, not 6ix9ine awful but pretty close.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

Weeks in the top 10

Blinding Lights 23
Rockstar 13
Savage 13
Roses 8
Whats Poppin 5
Watermelon Sugar 3
Come & Go 2
Popstar 1
Greece 1
Go Crazy 1

[levitating]

was there another radio recalibration this week? seems like airplay counted less but it could just be me

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

I thought What's Love Got To Do With It was the best selling song last week...I don't even remember Popstar reaching #1 on iTunes.

[Naos]

"The Climb Back" by J Cole debuts at #100, and "Breaking Me" by Topic & A7S debuts at #97.

[mikeymonster]

Idk why but it annoys me when songs that aren't top 10 in any metrics are top 10 on the Hot 100.

**cough cough** Go Crazy **cough cough**
(#17 in sales, #20 in radio, #15 in streams)

Because having an equal balance can be better than just doing well in one category. Just like how a song can be #1 in no category, but still be #1 on the Hot 100.

Well...

Given the state of the Hot 100, I suppose being top 20 in all metrics is enough. 💀

[failstoner]

top 20 in all metrics is pretty impressive, i think i prefer them over a song that is only strong in one metric tbh

[Limited Edition]

Breaking Me finally debuts. It has been big everywhere

[tuna]

congrats to Young Thug for finally getting a solo top 10

Really do not care for these records, these rules are simply too different for the different eras, there was a time when without physical single was not eligible to chart. This is all nonsense and Drake is not and will not belong to this music's greats list. 

[wavey.]

LMAO those are real time stats, things have clearly changed..

what are you talking about..

Welp, he is the second biggest hitmaker of the 21st century. In top 20 of all time (with a pretty active career). Everyone knows stats from different eras shouldn't be compared as raw numbers. But as i said he is the 2nd biggest hitmaker acording to Billboard in the past 2 decades (00s & 10s). It is the same as not counting Janet Jackson - 2nd biggest hitmaker (80s & 90s), i think. Is there or is there not place for Janet aswell ? ?

[Gary]

Drakes records are like hitting home runs in baseball on steroids. Numbers are higher and more impressive but impossible to compare to others

[wavey.]

Gotta give it to Drake either way.

Lmao. Keep seething. The records will stand and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it.
