I'm glad Blinding Lights finished at a good rounded number lol. My OCD would've hated if it finished at like 91 weeks Same. It always bugged me that one-time longevity champ "How Do I Live" finished at 69 weeks instead of 70. I would have hated it if "Blinding Lights" went recurrent at 89 weeks. Also, don’t forget Sail finished with 79 weeks instead of 80, and deprived us of having 2 songs with 80+ weeks on the chart at the same time. |

Happy about Bad Habits being #1 song on the overall radio chart and still top 3 on Hot 100. People were too quick to call this a flop. :kii: I think some people expected a mega smash right out the gate like Shape of You. I guess you are right. But longevity is much better than debuting high and dropping off the charts. Or "Butter" case where it doesn't do good on streaming but doing fine because of mass purchase. |

With an assist from TikTok, the multi-format hit wraps a 60-week climb to the top.
Glass Animals cap the longest trip to No. 1 in the 12-year history of Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart with "Heat Waves," which takes over atop the Sept. 11-dated ranking.
The song reaches No. 1 in its 60th week on the chart, breaking the record for the longest ascent to the top previously held by Twenty One Pilots' "Ride" (47 weeks, 2015-16).
"Heat Waves" reigns with 16.1 million U.S. streams (up 40%), 6 million radio audience impressions and 3,500 downloads sold (up 74%) in the Aug. 27-Sept. 2 tracking period, according to MRC Data.
Sparking the surge that puts it over the top on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, the track remains viral on TikTok, with an added boost from the more recent #allithinkaboutisyou trend on the platform, playing off the song's lyrical hook. The trend has swelled since late August.
Glass Animals notch their first Hot Rock & Alternative Songs No. 1 among 15 entries. They've also hit the top 10 with "Your Love (Deja Vu)," which debuted and peaked at No. 10 in March 2020.
Concurrently, "Heat Waves" rebounds for an eighth week at No. 1 on Alternative Streaming Songs and rises 6-2 on Alternative Digital Song Sales. It ruled Alternative Airplay for three weeks beginning in March and crossed over to peaks of No. 16 on Pop Airplay and No. 19 on Adult Pop Airplay.
The song, which jumps 33-23 on the all-format, multi-metric Billboard Hot 100 after hitting No. 19 in July, also becomes Glass Animals first No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot Alternative Songs chart, which began in June 2020.
"Heat Waves" is the third radio single from Dreamland, Glass Animals' third studio album, which also includes "Your Love." The set debuted at No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums chart in August 2020 and has earned 591,000 equivalent album units to date.

I Have to say it's really surprising that Megan's remix of Butter didn't get the majority of points. Weren't the fans trying to buy her copy much more than the others as a gift to her? And even more surprising that she got the majority of streaming, and not sales. I guess if there was only one version of her remix, while still the many other versions of Butter, that limited how much the fans could mass buy.

BL is going to hold these records for years to come. Maybe,, but it will definitely be the fastest to 1 billion, what it will be doing next year is another story. Although it doesn’t sound like a song that is just played for the summer weather to me |

I'm not sure if she will hit 52 weeks this year but if she doesn't hit it this year then she will hit it next year for sure. Do you think that being on the chart for more than 52 weeks would affect her chances at all. It does appear much harder for songs to come back from superrecurrency than from regular recurrency, and the song would only be able to chart once it hit the top 25 instead of the top 50, which might affect how many weeks she is able to chart, at least slightly, which will make it at least a bit more of a challenge to reach the YE in the future.

Yup, we’re only two years from seeing how Billboard enforces this rule with Holiday Songs. It could get confusing for casual chart observers that their holiday favorites will start operating on two different tiers of eligibility thresholds… or it could play out as a total non-issue. We’ll see! |

Basically off topic, but looking forward to Brenda Lee topping the Hot 100 this year.

Here's a record that will probably never be broken: If anything that’s one of the easier ones. All it would take is another mainstream singer to release an album in the genre. They will automatically hog the entire chart since it’s such a non-mainstream genre. Same if Rihanna released a Bluegrass album or Drake released a classic album. Lol at Donda being a Christian album though. He barely dives into religion other than the “yeah I’m a bad guy but thank the Lord for all I have and keeping me from wilding out!” on every song. |

The closest mainstream singer I think who can make a Christian album is Justin Bieber. Remember he released an EP with Christian songs right after he released Justice... but didn't made an impact tho.

Yeah I'm interested to see how they handle holiday songs that hit 52 weeks charted. Basically off topic, but looking forward to Brenda Lee topping the Hot 100 this year. This will be interesting, too. Last year it benefited greatly from inclusion on some classic holiday songs playlists that "AIWFCIY" is too new to be on. "RATCT" also had an iTunes discount while "AIWFCIY" did not. If all of that stays the same and her team pushes for a #1, it could happen. "AIWFCIY" still led in overall streams and in airplay, though, so it will be tough. |

Regarding Christmas songs charting, I can see this being the last year they are eligible to chart. The last time Christmas fell on a Saturday was 2010, the year before Christmas songs became eligible to chart. Christmas falling on a Saturday is the most disadvantageous to these songs, so if they continue to be successful despite this, I can see Billboard putting a stop to this after this holiday season.
