Billboard has lost all credibility with me! How the f##k is butter #1 again? It's embarrassing for Billboard. Can't believe that they let the mass buying help a song get #1. At least give Meghan credit for a #1 if their gonna let the remix be #1!

Preach Leona! F b*llboard

My guess is either Bad Guy or Someone You Loved. Maybe both entered in that same week.

I can't access the entire chart on the website, but "Bad Guy" debuted at #7. "Someone You Loved" must've debuted at the bottom 50 or didn't debut the same week as "Bad Guy" did. Regardless, it's definitely "Bad Guy" was the song that charted on the 04-13-19 that was featured on the 2020 YE.

[firefox]

While we're talking about historic longevity chart run coming to an end, Lauren Daigle's "You Say" also went recurrent on Hot Christian Songs chart this week. The song spent 160 weeks in the chart and 132 weeks of it were at #1.

[aussie1]

Well the good news about Butter going #1 it should suffer one of the largest drops from #1 next week, now that's something to celebrate.

Absolutely not happening, they’ve been murmuring about keeping the song in the top 10, though that would possibly take as much effort as going #1 on other weeks. Even if they fail, they’re not likely to depart the top 20, keeping it away from the 2020 quartet.

Yes, albeit with the Christmas asterisk. To me, the Trollz fall during the dead of summer was more impressive.

It's amazing to see that Weeknd gets a chart-defining and record-breaking hit through out the entire world, mostly in the US. Definitely a song to be remember for all the good reasons for a very long time.

Not related to music, but I consider "Blinding Lights" being the theme song for WrestleMania 36 as an achievement as well

Added that and a few more interesting things. There’s so much if I went into detail about every single event, i would lose myself. Blinding Lights is truly the god of the hot 100 and the 2020s.
