this has also happened with Mariah Carey several times, such as with Triumphant, and also with Obsessed (though ironically with Obsessed, it far out-performed the new switchover "first single" I Want to Know What Love Is).

How? In what way was "I Want To Know..." a switchover lead single?

[Groovy]

Here’s your silver lining, good 4 u is a near double digit week number 1 in the minds of some of the people on here.

The Ariana Focus-Moonlight situation is a clear example of this, as that single was fully marketed and promoted to be the lead single off of the intended soon to be released album "Moonlight," however the whole project was scrapped when Focus underperformed, and they went on with the revamped project "Dangerous Woman," pretending that Moonlight never happened.

An entire project was never scrapped lol. The song "Moonlight" is literally the opening track on "Dangerous Woman". She just simply changed what song the album would be titled after.

Hey, at this point I'm just happy that (a) it went to #1 regardless of how long it stayed there, and (b) it'll be a safe bet for the 2020s Decade-End. (Jury's still out on the GOAT list.)

[gikem]

In other news, Kanye.

(And given the hype for the album that goes back over a year, a new #1 wouldn't surprise me, although it would be hilarious if he ends up being the artist to knock BTS off the #1 for good)

That would be the funniest thing to ever happen in the history of the Hot 100, we've seen old #1 albums get bundles and shoot back up to #1 on the Billboard 200, like Bon Jovi in 2018. But we've never seen something like that happen on the Hot 100, if Butter goes 1-7-1 it would be pretty funny and would showcase how broken the whole chart is right now.

Songs like Circles and Mood have gone 1-5-1 but that's because of Christmas tracks clogging up the charts, Butter going back to #1 after stumbling outta the Top 5 with no album bombs/Holiday songs to kick it down would be embarrassing.

But again, ARMY's have no shame so whatever.

And even then, Circles and Mood had several weeks gap between falling from 1 to outside the Top 5 then back to 1. No song has ever gone from 1 to outside the Top 5 back to 1 directly. I’m not so sure if there’s even a song with a 3-week run of 1-3-1 or 1-4-1.

in 2008, both T.I. hits, Whatever You Likr.and Live Your Life had interesting no.1 run, interrupted by Pink, Britney and Beyonce

I'll believe it when it actually releases. How many times has he announced a release date for albums only to push them back or even worse, not say anything and not release something on that date? Because I've lost count.

[wavey.]

He seems very sure this time.

Can we talk about how weird this decade has been so far? This decade has given many 2000s acts hits such as Mariah Carey, the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Nelly, Kid Cudi, Keith Urban and Pink.

Not to rain on your parade, but every chart era has acts showing that kind of longevity (e.g. Chuck Berry in 1972, Gary US Bonds in 1981, Styx in 1991, Isley Brothers in 2001, Tim McGraw in 2013/6, etc.), so it's not that weird. Almost all of the artists you mentioned appeared on a year-end list in the 2010s anyway

ew that maga song flew back on top of the itunes chart.

omg

I mean, we don't need Billboard's crappy formula to know that G4U is the biggest song in the past 10 weeks.

[Au$tin]

Wait, you mean crowdsourcing funds for the sole purpose of buying multiple copies of the exact same song in order to boost a song's position on one country's chart isn't sustainable? And it doesn't automatically make these songs hits?

Who could have known?!?!?!?!

It could be argued that Stay, and not G4u, was really the biggest song last week. Stay had G4u beat in sales and streaming, and was #1 on the RS 100.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Did Meg implode?

[iamsorare]

So it's time for a legit hit to go number one on hot 100 next week..it could be ''stay'' or olivia's return with ''good 4 u'' again

I guess we'll find out in a few days, I presume she got a 2-weeker since she's not banned yet.

Can you post the list of songs that did?

[lazer]

Part of me wants BTS to release more songs to confuse the Army on which song they want to be #1. I would like to see them implode on themselves and expose Billboards shitty formula. I also want big acts like Drake to drop his album, get massive streams, and still lose to the sales-heavy BTS so Billboard will get heavy backlash.

If the next chart says "Permission to Dance 1 to 15" and "Butter 7 to 23", the dopamine I'd get....

And if BL goes from 17 to 9 to complete the trifecta. That would make my week.
