Billboard Hot 100: 10/17/2020

[iHype.]

A week late, but "Franchise" did absolutely horrible outside America. 

Canada: #16
Australia: #31
UK: #26
New Zealand: #37

These are the other English markets 

I've never seen a Hot 100 #1 peak so low in Canada before. Even #1's like Panda, Bad & Boujee, and Bodak Yellow which have very little Pop appeal and the artists had practically zero success prior in Canada still managed to peak #4/#5/#6. 

[Golden Bluebird]

I haven't seen people mention this, so I'm gonna mention it.

Jawsh 685 is the third New Zealander to top the chart, with the other two being Kimbra as a feature on Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" in 2012 and Lorde with "Royals" and 2013. It's also worth mentioning that two of these three artists are/were teenagers when they went #1.

[fridayteenage]

weeks in top 2, based on acharts
The Box: 13
Rockstar: 11
Blinding Lights: 8
Life is Good: 8
Dynamite: 7
Wap: 7
Circles: 7
Savage: 6
Someone You Loved: 6

I can see Dynamite being just behind Rockstar. Interesting how it's tied with Wap rn when the GP has heard about Wap 10x more on social/traditional media.

[deepston]

it's either a random remix or a 1-24-99-OUT song topping the charts

Maybe not 10x, I mean it’s predominately featured in several ads and I’ve managed to hear it in public with what little time I have out there, maybe closer to 3x or even 2x honestly

the difference is that jawsh is just a producer not a singer.he's like dj Khaled,zedd, Calvin harris,kygo.without Jason's writing lyrics and jason's voice savage love would have never been a global smash and a top 10 hot 100 hit ,let alone #1

lol DJ Khaled is not a producer. Also, while Jason Derulo did help make the song a worldwide hit, the original "Laxed (Siren Beat)" instrumental was already a viral TikTok hit before Derulo came in and add vocals to it.

[notgoodenglish]

So Jawsh 685 is the second person born in the 2000s to top billboard hot 100 after Billie Eilish, if 24kGoldn get number one with "Mood" he will be the third. Get away oldies and millenials ! Gen Z is coming !

An instrumental from an unknown producer would have never made an impact on charts.jawsh can be grateful that jason came and made the song a smash. and of course dj Khaled is a producer en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Khaled

 Not saying the instrumental alone would've been a charting hit, but that a big part of its success is owed to the instrumental version already being popular

[renfield75]

Jawsh 685 was 6 YEARS OLD the last time Jason Derulo had a number one song. I feel super old right now.

[fridayteenage]

Groups which got multiple #1s 2010s: Maroon Five.
2020s: BTS

[JukeboxJacob]

1. Savage Love
Streams: 16M
Radio: 71M
Sales: 76k

2. Dynamite
Streams: 13M
Radio: 27M
Sales: 94k

3. WAP
Streams: 28M
Radio: ~53M
Sales: ?

This is ridiculous. Why is Billboard still living in 2010?

[levitating]

WAP is the #1 song in the country and has been for the past 9 weeks and I don’t accept any other opinion.

[amid]

Jawsh 685 deserves more credit than Derulo for Savage Love. Derulo literally ripped the viral instrumental from him without asking first, and then was only able to find such a catchy vocal line by directly emulating the catchy instrumental melody.

[bigolefreak]

Congrats Jason Desrouleaux, king of Pop
also Mr. Right Now, Mood and ROCKSTAR (who is still slaying)
Pretty good Top 10 this week actually

[iHype.]

Kinda surprising debut for Shawn. How did random droplets "If I Can't Have You" and "Senorita" debut #2, but his official album lead debuts #18?

I'm sure radio will push it hard though.

I think that’s a mix of poor timing with the albums kind of killing all the major singles this week and the fact that it’s just not his usual sound. Also what the gel is that Why Don’t We song doing here, these stans need to calm the hell down

[renfield75]

I guess "Dreams" didn't re-enter this week? Or maybe chartdata doesn't have that info yet. Either way it should definitely be back next week.

[spicymapping]

we thought we couldn't fall any deeper into this shit. then billboard handed us a shovel.

Based on these numbers, Savage Love deserved to be #1 and WAP deserved to be #2 this week. WAP's strong advantage in streams and radio should have been good enough for #2. However, Savage Love's advantage in radio and sales over WAP makes it a deserving #1 song this week.

Jason Derulo of all people has a fucking #1 hit in 2020. Who would've thought

They have a series of (now) sold out autographed CD singles on their website, so I'm guessing maybe that had something to do with it?  Just a guess, don't follow them.

In case you really didn't know:  the real vocalists are all listed on Milli Vanilli's wiki page.

Oh, and I also wanna ask this because I'm not sure about this and I don't want to go through every #1 hit to find out: Is Jawsh 685 the first artist of Polynesian descent to top the Hot 100? I feel like there could be a few, but right now, I can't think of another artist of Polynesian descent with a #1 hit. The only artists I could find right now are ones born in Hawaii but doesn't seem to be of Polynesian descent themselves like Bruno Mars, Bette Midler, and Yvonne Elliman.
