tis crazy how the biggest #1 selling week this year not involving bts is drivers license with...38k. Similar to how there's only a handful of albums that sell a million in a year.

From a commercial standpoint, I think it's too early for Weeknd to push the new album. Should have waited until 2022 or late 2021 to create more hype. But I'm not complaining we get more music This rollout is exactly like the timing of BBTM -> Starboy, with even more mainstream power to his name this time. It only feels that way because we still have 2 longevity behemoths from the last era in the top 20 still. Assuming the album comes out in August-October, that would be 17-19 months between After Hours and The Dawn, vs 15 months between BBTM and Starboy, so technically its more than reasonable to drop another album if he wanted to.

"Levitating" has been the radio #1 for over a month now though. I know, but If you add radio to the SPS of good 4 u and Stay, G4U is a bigger song (which wasn't phieaglesfan712's point). But we can’t pick and choose the metrics we want to include. Including radio might have caused G4u not to be #1 in at least one of its earlier weeks.

Stay is such an earworm, I wouldn't be surprised if it pushes 30+ weeks in the top 10.

Including radio might have caused G4u not to be #1 in at least one of its earlier weeks. What? No one is picking and choosing metrics. They're literally just removing BTS's fraudulent spam sales from the equation. It's pretty easy to see what would be #1 then: literally everything that was #2 instead, which would be: 6/5 good 4 u 6/12 good 4 u 6/19 good 4 u 6/26 good 4 u 7/3 good 4 u 7/10 good 4 u 7/17 good 4 u 7/24 good 4 u 7/31 good 4 u 8/7 Industry Baby This includes *everything*. It's literally that simple. I'm also in awe of you saying we can't pick and choose which components to count when that's literally all you've been trying to do with One Too Many for several weeks now. The hypocrisy is strong.

I feel like people here wouldn't mind if "Butter" had a run more like "Willow" or "What's Next". It was bound to be successful from the get go. The first week at #1 wasn't that big of a deal. Weren't the fans super happy just to see "DNA" chart at all a few years ago?

Btw is Kid LAROI does go to number one, will he be the first Australian artist of Indigenous descent to top the Hot 100 (apparently that's where the LAROI in the name comes from; the Kamilaroi)

Next week for sure should be Wants & Needs’ last week on the chart as well as Gone and Settlin’ Down.
And next week should also be Mood’s last week.

I'm also in awe of you saying we can't pick and choose which components to count when that's literally all you've been trying to do with One Too Many for several weeks now. The hypocrisy is strong. It doesn't work that way. You cannot claim a week at #1 unless the song was #1 on an official publication (like Billboard Hot 100 or Rolling Stone 100). Even under these rules, you can claim 8 weeks at #1 for G4u (5/29 for Billboard Hot 100 and 6/5-7-17 for RS 100), and that isn't bad at all. We do not get to arbitrarily decide to move up the #2 song to #1 just because we don't like a certain submetric. But hey, if you want to claim 7/24 and 7/31 as weeks at #1 for G4u, then I can claim all the weeks BL was #1 on radio after it left #1 on the Hot 100.

Blinding Lights is on the verge of breaking the Hot 100 longevity record, and the release of Take My Breath should help it get one final boost to set the record. I think I might let it go once it breaks the record, and look forward to The Dawn.

the first Australian artist of Indigenous descent to top the Hot 100 Jessica Mauboy deserved. :'( (As to your actual question IDK, I'd have to look back at all the Aussie acts that have topped the Hot 100 to see who I recognize). EDIT: Allegedly, Iggy Azalea has some Aboriginal ancestry. Cannot confirm so take that with a lump from my salt shaker.

I think his point is that you seem to be able to take any topic at all and make it about 'Blinding Lights' This one from the HITS albums thread is my favorite

How's Billie's album looking in terms of the hot 100? How high are we expecting album tracks to go?
