Billboard Hot 100: 05/08/2021

[fridayteenage]

well, i can see bts having 10+ weeks on top of sales again with bulk buys.
overall, i'd think just a few like dynamite since both the streaming and radio should be unspectacular.

if I counted correctly, they would only need like 8 weeks topping sales to have the male record for most weeks topping digital. still 20 weeks away from taylor's overall record.

This criticism made of BTS makes absolutely no sense. Maybe you just haven't listened to much of their music or something. What songs are you referring to? Compared to other artists they use very little auto tune. Here is a short clip of Jungkook singing At My Worst (Pink Sweat$)with no mic during a livestream. I'm really hoping that Butter has some smooth vocal runs.

manifesting a new peak for "Kiss Me More"

[CF15]

I'm very surprised that, not only "Up", but also "drivers license" are predicted to stay in the top 10 this week.

[forg]

Good thing Leave The Door Open already hit #1 because it seems like it will spend a lot of weeks at #2 lol

Glad drivers license is still holding on while deja vu on the rise

We can only guess how many WEEKS it'll take until this person has a supported single again. VILE.

It's f**king awful that the industry is still supporting him after all the crap he's done. Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully he won't get another hit after this.

He didn't sell out and perform at a Trump rally as a publicity stunt like Lil Pump (though tbh I still find them both awful).

I think Blinding Lights will eke out another Top 10 week by moving in front of drivers license.

The streaming for "Dynamite" is unspectacular?

[Enigma.]

Dynamite has been a huge streaming hit, 830 million on Spotify and counting.

[aussie1]

"Up" has done way better then I expected, I thought it would of been very front loaded and then dropped but it's a cemented itself in the top ten for 3 months now. Very Impressive for a solo female rap song.

by this comment it’s clear that you’ve probably only heard “dynamite” lol

whoever produced the group’s vocals on that song must’ve had a vendetta against them, but for the most part they sound fine. Listen to the tiny desk they did, they really can sing (even if Jin sounded like shit at the GRAMMYs 😭)

I’m excited for “butter”. It’s an unexpected title w/ cool visuals so far. I wonder who worked on it? Manifesting MNEK 🙏🏻

There was something wrong with the audio in this performance. From all their performances this one was really not that good and I don't know who was to blame. Maybe Grammy who cut a part of it? I wish they did something like this. It's the best one.

True. The longevity isn't a criticism - simply an observation. Radio picked it up and it to the top fast, but dropped it just as quickly. And, yes, songs like BL, Circles, etc. have skewed. Didn't The Box spend 20+ weeks in Top 10?

Perhaps a better metric: How does 15 weeks compare with other 8-week+ No. 1s?

31 MOOD
25 ALL ABOUT THAT BASS
25 ROCKSTAR
24 SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW
18 BURN
17 NICE FOR WHAT
16 FANTASY
16 CRAZY IN LOVE
14 THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES
14 DREAMLOVER
13 NIGHT FEVER
13 EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE
13 JUMP
12 THA CROSSROADS
11 TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (GONNA BE ALRIGHT)

So, everything on that list with 16 or fewer top 10 weeks is pre-streaming. "Somebody That I Used to Know" is really impressive in being the only pre-streaming song with more than 20 weeks in the top 10.

[gikem]

Based on the current Hot 100, we will most likely be saying goodbye to Cry Baby and Monsters this week. Starting Over is also a possibility, but right now it’s barely moving on radio.

Time will tell but it's really looking like What's Next will be the Heartless to Wants and Needs' Blinding Lights

Add Olivia to that and May is going to be PACKED and we love it

And twenty one pilots too. People are sleeping on them. :(((

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

I'm so in love with the snippet for Billie's upcoming song. Her voice is perfect for these jazzier vibes à la "my future", and it would be amazing if she can make this sound mainstream again.

My Future was not a fav among her fans, but as you said she fits those type of songs perfectly.

Cry Baby's going recurrent next week and I don't know what else.

I get your point, but please, Blinding Lights is the biggest song in Hot 100 history, lol. Wants and Needs doesn't have a music video and hasn't officially been pushed on radio yet. It'll only hold so well on streaming before it starts to dip on that metric as well. If it doesn't get some sort of push in the near future, it'll start to drop hard again similar to how Chicago Freestyle did when it didn't get any further push after Dark Lake Demo Tapes dropped.

What I meant was that What's Next, the big comeback single pushed with a video and radio deal, went to number one but quickly fell out of the Top 10 and dipped in streaming since it debuted while Wants and Needs, a song released with What's Next (just like how Blinding Lights closely released with Heartless) became the fan favorite has been stable on streaming and will soon overtake the intended big comeback single.

I didn't actually mean that Wants and Needs will be as successful as Blinding Lights,

Again, should we expect everything i wanted, my future and therefore i am on the album?

I expect the former two to be included as bonus tracks (or be pushed towards the end of the album) and the latter as part of the regular track list. If "My Future" isn't included at all, it'll definitely be part of the Target or Japanese edition of the album.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

everything i wanted is on the Japanese and Target deluxe versions of WWAFA WDWG so no, it won't be the next album

[thegreatdivine]

dremolus - solarpunk Oh, of course, that's why I said I know what you mean. I mean Wants and Needs will probably stall around the 15-30 zone on the Hot 100 without some sort of extra push, either via radio or a music video. Blinding Lights got the whole shebang. It got pushed on radio and got a music video and in addition to being the fan favorite, it was able to go all the way and really outperform Heartless. That probably won't happen with Wants and Needs without an extra push. That's what I meant.

Wasn’t it revealed that Lil Pump did the Trump purely for publicity and that he didn’t actually vote for him?

What I meant is that some ppl may still be “interested” or were “interested” in Lil Pump due to his meme status, something that Lil Mosey doesn’t have.
