Billboard Hot 100: 12/12/2020

[jebsib]

One important historic stat not being discussed: If (when) Mariah returns to #1, it will only be the second song in Hot 100 history to hit #1 in 2 separate chart runs (following The Twist).

Fun to watch Pulse complain about a song being #1 due to chart manipulation and then advocating for chart manipulation to prevent Christmas songs from charting when they're clearly more popular.

I mean a song going recurrent also faces "chart manipulation". Don't see many people complain about that

Dicked Down in Dallas up to #8 on Apple Music.

The existence of a formula is chart manipulation. But unless the charts are handed from God to Moses on Mount Sanai as stone tablets, we need a formula

Quite a good year for country/'country' songs.

[iHype.]

"Dicked Down" is the type of song a 13-year-old middle school boy in a South Park & Family Guy phase would play on repeat to seem edgy.

Not even catchy, melodically appealing, or has any type of good beat ala WAP. Just a bunch of taboo words and phrases for the sake of it.

You basically just described the average Tiktok user!

Anyway it's the curveball charts need right now imo.

Well what was so gross about the X songs was that they got artists that X would never have worked with before. Benny and Juice have worked before (albeit on Juice's worst songs) so I'm less skeeved

The longest running songs on the recurrent chart only run about 100 weeks

Lmao "only run about 100 weeks" 

That's still about 2 years of songs being on the charts when they've clearly passed their expiration date. I know I get irritated at Christmas songs coming back but you can make the argument they're popular around December. If Shape of You and Perfect were still on the charts TWO YEARS after they peaked and stayed on the charts for 52 weeks, when the year-end comes around would you really say they were the biggest songs of 2020?

[Gary]

Well...if a two year old song charted the entire year and lingered around say #50, how high do you think it might chart on the year end chart?

Recurrency rules exist in the first place to give exposure to newer songs, not to make a better looking year end chart

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^At least the rules for the year-end in the US make more sense, because only the weeks where a song or album charts are counted towards it. In the UK, it isn't the case, which has resulted in Mr. Brightside appearing in the year-end Singles chart for several year. I can see the latter happening for the Global 200 and Global 200 excluding US year-end given that the really popular song worldwide tend to peak in different places at different times.

I think you are contradicting yourself a bit with the two statements.

And yes, Sunflower was more consumed song in 2020 than more than half of the top 100 year-end songs.

In 2020 did more people hear Sunflower or a random #60 song on the Year-End? - Sunflower wins.

I personally am fine with the recurrent rule (#50 /20 weeks, the other one not so much) & with Christmas songs charting.

The thing that i don't agree with is once a song goes reccurent it is almost impossible to chart again.

Example. A song is #17, and thanks to christmas week or Drake album bomb 9 songs enter in top 15. The song gets pushed out of top 25, and goes super reccurent. Next week the event (holiday/album bomb) has passed and the song should be top 20 again, but it is not allowed to chart. - This needs to be changed.

The reccurency rules are fine for the purpose of allowing newer songs to chart. But if a song is so bit that it is #25 after 100 weeks then so be it. - This is impossible but whatever.

2 years recurrent after having charted for like a year means nearly 3 full years. Yikes.

Never forget someone in Pulse actually said WAP would lead to an increase of child porn because it has some naughty words meanwhile the number one song on iTunes literally has the lyric:"Analed in Austin, buttfucked in Boston."

Anyways stream WAP

[kingvavis]

I can't believe it's gonna be year since The Box started gaining traction and would become the breakout hit of 2020, becoming the most dominant number one hit of the year. Watching the song's growth on Spotify was very exciting, especially when Xmas songs were clogging up the charts.

I was never one of those who thought Christmas songs could be struggling this year due to Miss Rona, but their performances keep on exceeding all expectations, looking on both actual streaming numbers and positions (bad performance of the non-christmas competition certainly plays a role in that)

I think the song is catchy enough to get popular, and specifically Blackpink sound great on the song.

Gosh a 150+ week song on the H100... And this is with influx of Xmas albums. 4 of these were in the Top 20 the previous week - three because of vinyl 'manipulation' at Wal-Mart.

18 16 9 270 Hamilton: An American Musical, Original Broadway Cast 2
24 8 36 414 Greatest Hits, Queen 8
36 12 23 400 Rumours, Fleetwood Mac 1
39 34 27 182 This One's For You, Luke Combs 4
57 53 51 159 Diamonds, Elton John 7
62 52 59 272 Traveller, Chris Stapleton 1
67 19 79 654 Legend: The Best Of..., Bob Marley And The Wailers 5
etc.

'Circles' being denied opportunity to return to Top 25 when Holiday disappears + year-end countdowns + all the AC airplay is simply a CRIME against the Charts.
