Maybe we need a probation period for new members (tho rather than making it time-based, make it post-based - probation until you hit 100 posts or something). This. I say make a minimum requirement to post in the chart forums > 500 posts. Yeah especially after what happened with the meg situation, new members shouldn't be allowed to come in and just make a mess like that |

Yeah, that was definitely an unpleasant situation, especially with the whole doxing problem.

I don't have a problem with newbies but being able to waltz in and snap screenshots of our posts and send them to a rabid group of people on Twitter is an invitation for harassment and doxxing, most of the ARMY is all bluff but sometimes they are actually scary because they are capable of causing havoc to whoever goes after their sacred BTS |

music's presence in pop culture is insanely minimal nowadays. songs like mood do not even feel as big as a good portion of the songs that missed the 2010s decade-end list, and its just now going recurrent after a year on the chart and 8 weeks at #1

Mood's not going to be on this chart though, alas. Let's hope MEBF makes it to a year though  . |

Let's hope MEBF makes it to a year though  . had to edit my post because i completely forgot to add entire point and realized it didn't make any sense in context lol. i remember we all thought mebf had next to no chance at 1 full year after radio kinda dropped it once it peaked, but its looking somewhat likely now, barring an album bomb |

Thanks for the edit. Perhaps Mood feels ephemeral to you but I still hear it on local radio stations here, so it remains relevant to me. The same is true of MEBF as well, which has endured in the second quadrant of the chart far better than I expected it to after a relatively low peak.

Yes, we have had songs that have spent 8 or 9 weeks at #1 like Mood, drivers license, and Butter, but they do not seem like that defining hit. Maybe Stay can change all of that. |

i definitely think a good group of people know "mood" or at least would recognize it if they heard it, but songs that had its chart presence years ago are instantly recognizable by name for a majority of people around the world. songs just are not as talked about anymore unless its intentionally controversial (WAP) or an out-of-nowhere explosion in popularity (drivers license)
music has always benefited from pop culture because it gets people talking, and more people know of the music, which makes songs that are technically smaller feel bigger in the grand scheme of things

I think that there is a general lack of unified pop culture spaces. We do tend to be a fragmented and segmented culture to a large extent.

Disagree, I think Olivia's set of hits define the year pretty well. Already looking back at the early months of the year I instantly think of drivers license and good 4 u has defined the summer. |

^There are certainly new members who are interested in and capable of providing worthwhile commentary on the charts as much as those of us who have posted more.

^Levitating would fit into the long lasting category for the year. This includes the second wind that it got from the Grammys performance to now the DaBaby controversy. The latter doesn't seem to have hindered its chart performance, for now.

If I had to pick a defining song of 2021 it'd be Drivers License, even if it's not as strong of a year-defining hit as other years had. Just a victim of music being more decentralized now that seemingly ever before

I disagree. "Levitating" will be the most defining song of 2021 based on longevity alone. It has been inescapable even before the DaBaby controversy and has outlasted "Drivers License" and any other song other singers have released.

I feel like "Levitating", "Drivers License", "Good 4 U", and "Montero" are the defining songs of 2021 so far.

Yeah "Levitating" is definitely the biggest hit of the year, like I said before it's one of the only modern songs next to Blinding Lights and Uptown Funk that can get a crowd going at bars and the club.
I would throw "Peaches" in there too, it's one of Bieber's hits that actually gets the crowd sing-along, which hasn't happened since at least Love Yourself.

It’s so bizarre she has an album out in 2 weeks, completely forgot. I’m very surprised her label is letting it get released under these conditions.
I’m excited nonetheless.

I’m excited nonetheless. with the way Manic singles were treated on radio, I honestly don't blame Halsey for going this more artistic, album-oriented route. we've yet to hear any of the songs, other than what's been teased in the trailers for the IMAX experience film. (which sound promising to me.) I'm not really expecting much in terms of Hot 100 success, but I'm hoping for No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Manic kind of got fucked over by a surprise Eminem album drop, if you remember. (though it also over performed thanks to Halsey's tour ticket bundle for a tour that, unfortunately, never happened in the US and only got a couple shows done in Europe. I guess that week's real number one album was Mac Miller's posthumous record for me.) |

Am i the only one seeing the stability of Happier Than Ever? #2 on AM and #3 on Spotify to this day and people were so quick to write the whole album off as a flop.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee deserve the credit for that one. Justin just tagged along for the credit, and he couldn’t even sing the Spanish lyrics, lol. |
