lol at Permission To Dance already down to #27 on its 4th week. It is officially the new Franchise, and will be lucky to reach ten weeks.

Once again, the trend continues of Butter beating projections, while Permission To Dance underperforming them.

"Many" other songs in the '90s sold 3-4 million copies? Can you give a list? All I can think of are "Candle in the Wind 1997" (11 million), "I Will Always Love You" (4 million), "Whoomp There It Is" (4 million), "Macarena" (4 million), "Gangsta's Paraside" (3 million), "How Do I Love" (3 million), "I'll Be Missing You" (3 million), and "Everything I Do." What am I leaving out? I think "One Sweet Day" is in the top 10 of the 1990s in terms of sales, but correct me if I'm wrong.

It should also be noted that "OSD" had 6 weeks on Hot 100 Airplay in the previous chart year (a lot for the 1990s), including 2 weeks in the top 10. It was #2 on Hot 100 Airplay the first week of that 1996 chart year. So, it likely would have been higher in year-end airplay if all of its weeks were in the 1996 chart year. All of the songs above it on the year-end chart had their full runs counted.

Yeah, I'm aware of those 6 weeks it charted on Hot 100 Airplay before, just didn't want to go into details that much to keep my post fairly short and concise. And yeah, as for all the songs that sold 3-4 million+, I think you got them all, we both seem to be well-learned in our 90s chart/sales history! That's 8 songs though, so I guess you could call that "many" (maybe somewhat debatable I guess), and even more specifically, I believe OSD's Soundscan total is roughly 2.3 million. I know at least one other, The Boy Is Mine, whose Soundscan total is around 2.6 million, and I'd imagine there's a couple others that sold in the 2.5-3.0 million range, which would put OSD's total maybe around 10th to 12th place for the decade. I just think that for a song that was the longest-running #1 of that decade and of all time up to 2017, and which also spent 13 weeks at no. 1 and a majority of its overall weeks on the airplay chart that year, those rankings seem much lower than many would otherwise expect, that's all.

I get what you’re saying, but I think it also needs to be noted that “OSD” sold albums (Daydream returned to #1 during the holidays in large part due to “OSD”). Some of the 1990s songs that sold more - like Whoomp There It Is, Macarena, and How Do I Live - either didn’t have albums, or the single was the only thing people bought. If “OSD” was a stand alone single or not from a successful album, it obviously would have sold even more. I think it and “I’ll Be Missing You” are the only second singles to be on the list, no? I’m not saying it felt like the biggest hit of the 1990s, and all chart watcher knows a lot about chart runs has to do with timing, but “OSD” was definitely a huge hit.

I took the liberty of trimming and renaming the chart - nothing else is deserving

[phieaglesfan712]

Guess which song went recurrent here:

[iamsorare]

I just realized that Jonas brothers have scored 4 top 20 hits in the last two years.. that's good for them

[After Minutes]

Is it really impossible for Tyler to get a decent-sized hit on the charts?

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I legitimately forgot about Yung Bleu and that You're Mines Still was a thing until he got another charting entry.

[lazer]

So that Jonas Brothers and Marshmello song got into the top 20 while two Doja Cat songs Need To Know and Ain’t s**t, that are clearly more popular, are struggling to rise up…

[bbdenney94]

It's really nice to have a Chattanooga hometown hero besides Kane Brown or Lauren Alaina (in this case, Isiah Rashad) get on the Hot 100. Yeah, it's only #99, but it's something. After so many false starts and near-disasters with his label, I'm glad this project debuted to good numbers.

Blame the removal of UGC for that. The Jonas brothers were definitely helped by this change. Don’t forget when Sucker charted for several undeserved weeks in early 2020, when Billboard removed UGC from the formula.

How could we forget when you remind us every week?

[jebsib]

Interesting that DaBaby has been removed from Levitating on the radio charts retroactively.

Not sure I like that - regardless of what a person says or does, that's rewriting chart history subjectively.

[thegreatdivine]

Drake needs to drop a new single on Friday. I really thought he'd leave the Hot 100 with the departure of Wants and Needs but luckily the song with Smiley hung around. I really don't want his current streak to end just before he begins a new era.

I’m still mad about Billboard sacrificing OTR and costing it spots on the all-time list just so their favorites (Jonas Brothers and Ed Sheeran) can get a few extra weeks that they didn’t really deserve. OTR was robbed off a spot in the 52-week club.

[Gary]

Billboard has a statistical formula that governs the chart each week - granted it needs adjusting and monitoring from time to time.

But this is obvious but needs to be said for some.

This is a 7-day chart, the goal being what is best way  to assist streaming services with playlists and radio programmers and retail outlets in their programming to fans.

52 week clubs and all time lists are not really the priority for a 7 day chart.

No, that's just a site limitation, it can only display one credit per chart at a time. When 34+35 was juggling whether the original or the remix was the dominant version, the credit would apply to all weeks each time it switched.

Wow, impressive for Kenny Chesney considering he never really has top 10s. I also assume he’s one of the only ones on the list whose run didn’t benefit from feature credits.

[Gary]

A lot of hits on the country chart


Last time I checked. He is the leader for most chart hits with no top tens

Why be mad at that? I'm sure what's bad for you is good for me and vice versa. I haven't played Blinding Lights since mid last year (over a year - it got stale on me) and it still on the US charts..... whilst impressive, it should have been made recurrent a long time ago under new rules to give other songs a chance to chart. So who is Billboard favouring?

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I doubt OTR would've made it to 52 weeks anyway, removing UGC or not.

[thegreatdivine]

jenglisbe I'd say Post Malone as well.

Admittedly, some of us care a great deal about the YE charts and 52-week clubs and all time lists, but yes, I agree that these things are our own interests and not the point or purpose or priority of the Billboard chart as a whole.

[Gary]

Yeah of course.

All time lists and 52 week clubs come from this. But I am thinking manipulation of a 7 day chart to mess up fan generated all time lists is not what is happening here.


The chart producers have always been more focused on music services (retail, radio, streaming) than fans anyway which is probably why the Butter thing didn’t produce an immediate formula change when fans reacted online for example. And nothing will happen if one song or another gets robbed from a spot on the year end list or the 52 week club

[nathanalbright]

This is very true. It would be a serious thing, though, if a song's consumption was missed in a way that would cost a retailer money by not having that song available, or if songs were missed that a radio programmer would want to play to appeal to a stations core audience.

It's fun when Dr. Luke loses though

[nathanalbright]

Need To Know is at #32 and Ain't S*** is at #41 after 8 and 6 weeks respectively. I would hardly call that losing.

[phieaglesfan712]

Any time you have Jonas Brothers and Ed Sheeran songs that high up on the charts is a loss, lol.
