The difference is that Abel was still scoring big hits, like IFIC and even a #1 with Starboy, in between The Hills and After Hours.

I think what they were referring to was 2018-mid 2019, not the Starboy era

Really the only song Abel released from 2018-2019 that "flopped" was Power Is Power, which had SZA and Travis Scott but peaked at #90. Pray for Me peaked at #7. Call Out My Name peaked at #4, both were released in 2018 and are multiplatinum hits. Lost in the Fire also peaked at #27 - not a hit, but not a flop either.

I was kinda scared when Heartless peaked at #1 but was already falling off right after and how slow Blinding Lights was to reach the top 10 when it was clearly the smash hit he had tucked away for his album but Blinding Lights completely blew everything out of the water and saved his album era.

Solo album eras are really what provide a true insight into an artist's current commercial standing.

Juan Carlos: Ed Sheeran is in 2 weeks, can we stick to this week's topic
Pulse: Starboy, Hello, Lemonade, Beyonce, Lion King

I don’t know how this conversation went from Ed Sheeran to Adele to Beyonce to The Weeknd.

This is what Juan was discussing that the threads become derailed, maybe we need a "Future Hot 100 thread", where future releases can be discussed.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Or something like "Upcoming song releases". There's already one for albums.

[Limited Edition]

I don't have any problems with discussing future releases in a Hot 100 thread. These threads would be boring otherwise

[nathanalbright]

You can always count on us to make a Hot 100 chart messy from the start.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Can we please talk about music that dropped TODAY? There was a lot of it

[gikem]

It’s very telling that the first 2 tracks of Culture III are far above anything else from that album on AM right now.

Overall, I still think Polo G will chart more songs on aggregate than Migos, even if the trio will nab higher debuts. Let’s see if that prediction holds.

[Ling-Ling]

Megan just dropped a bomb with that song/video. I think it has the ability to go WAP level viral. Plus it's a bop.

It is likely that Rapstar will manage to re-enter the top 10. After that, it is too early to tell where the rest of his songs and those of Migos will place.

We're less than 24 hours into this week and this thread has already been derailed

The irony in this derailment being at least partially due to people getting salty at an admin telling them to stick to current Hot 100 discussion is not lost on me.

[kindofbiased]

For The Love Of New York was such a strange song.. not bad but it also sounds like it came out in 2017

What would this thread be if it wasn’t a mess?

[kalmanta]

All I have to say, Bey was getting #1 Hot100 calls from her manager when most of the artists hitting #1 this year weren’t even conceived. She doesn’t have to prove anything.

[Enigma.]

So is Polo G dominating the AM chart?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Not quite. He has four out of the top 10, for now.

[Enigma.]

Migos releasing too might split the streams between albums.

[nathanalbright]

I'm curious to see how that all shapes out. It's always nice to see lots of new music competing for spots, although it does mean we wouldn't get a full album bomb clearout if the songs are all under #50.

I won't call it "dominating''.

Nah, I still expect at least a few Migos and Polo G songs each to nab top 40 debuts, if not higher.

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing songs like What You Know Bout Love, The Good Ones, Hell of a View, On Me, Goosebumps, and (fingers crossed) Wasted On You all make their exits over the next 2 weeks. My Ex's Best Friend and Back In Blood also have decent chances of making their exits before the end of the month.

[nathanalbright]

We'll see how it shakes out. It certainly doesn't like like it will mean an immediate exit for BL though.

Especially with that new Apple Music boost it got from the new spatial audio feature.

[Gary]

We all seem anxious for that song to leave the chart

[gikem]

I'm not counting on BL being gone for good until either Drake's next album bomb or early November (when Hot AC and AC stations begin the switch to holiday programming), whichever comes first.

[jaffery]

Blinding lights will leave the charts just in time for Bad Habits to take its place for the next year

Nah this song will generate nothing close to the shock factor that WAP did lol. I’ll be surprised if it hits top 10

[thegreatdivine]

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Thot Sh*t is up to #2 at iTunes, but only #47 at Apple Music.

it doesn't have cardi. and it seems to be in the same vein as wap so it doesn't feel really new.

I just want BL to beat radioactive

it’s so close, pleeeease
