Billboard Hot 100: 05/22/2021

[gikem]

Wockesha by Moneybagg Yo is now on top of AM. Not sure how it was able to do that but is still nowhere to be seen on US Spotify.

[Enigma.]

The AM numbers are probably very low as Interlude dropped two spots in hours and now Wockesha climbed two in less than a day.

It's sad that "Deja Vu" doesn't have much momentum at Top 40 radio despite having been top 10 in streaming for several weeks while "pov" is top 10 at Top 40 with a huge bullet yet not even top 50 in streaming.

This is insane, is this still not enough sales though?

I mean, it doesn't take many sales at all to top that chart so it isn't really insane. Literally a few dozen fans could have impact.

[imbondz]

So the race to #1 is between LTDO and Levitating? Or does Peaches have a chance?

Peaches has a slight chance, but it pretty much lags everywhere. It would probably need to pass LTDO on radio to have a shot at the top 2.

By Friday next week, Peaches is gonna overtake Leave the Door Open. My theory that they recalibrated to make this possible so quickly (maybe they saw the poor callouts LTDO got?) is starting to feel real.

[jenglisbe]

So many of the songs in the top 10 of airplay are old, especially if you include "Levitating" and "Save Your Tears" that have recent momentum but have actually been out for awhile.

[Choco]

Dua levitating to her first chart-topper with her mild-mid grade hit that Pulse was overhyping according to some people:

[leoapp]

Levitating may hit no.1 after 30 weeks?

What was the record for the most weeks spent inside Hot 100 before topping the chart, for female artist? (Mariah's AIWFCIY is excluded)

For a female artist, outside of Mariah, it’s 23 weeks. Cheap Thrills (Sia), Havana (Camila Cabello) and Baby Come To Me (Patti Austin) all hit number one in their 23rd week. If Levitating does hit number one this week, it’ll be 32 weeks. Only All I Want For Christmas Is You and Macarena took longer.

[Gary]

Levitating number one in Canada this week

[korbel16]

Not the gays winning this week

[dremolus - solarpunk]

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Even though I’m more or less over it, I’m rooting for Dua! Makes for an exciting chart story!

[needyslovelanguage]

Have u guys heard the snippet of “good 4 u”, out tomorrow night? Its at the end of the trailer. Sounds glorious

[jenglisbe]

Interesting Olivia has another new song coming while "Deja Vu" is ostensibly still rising.

I mean "POV" was doing as well as "Deja Vu" on streaming when it was also new. It's nearly 6 months old now.

So "Deja Vu" should expect to hit the top 10 at Top 40 in 6 months?

Clearly Dua's fans are doing what it takes to get that #1 spot. More power to them.

BUT "Manipulation"!!!

[GP]

let's go Levitating! it's still way too close, it's going down to the wire

[Skibidi Bop Bop]

Im happy that dua might get the top spot next week but the radio manipulation is f@&!?ng apparent. 😣

So? Plenty of people are actively buying and streaming the song. It just returned to the top 5 of US Spotify today. It’s not like radio is propping it up while it lags everywhere else; in fact, radio is its weakest category this week compared to the other two.

There's no radio manipulation, stop.

Actually the song has been picking up on radio for the last few weeks, so I’m not sure what you mean? I was one of the ones that stated the “Levitating” hype was overblown here but there’s no question it has had a unique chart run and radio would’ve been stubborn had they not picked it back up again.

Yeah, if it was manipulated, they would have also manipulated Mediabase into pulling it out of recurrency on Pop radio by now.

Hmm, I suppose I'm rooting for "Leave the Door Open"
