Billboard Hot 100: 09/25/2021

[phieaglesfan712]

lol at Blinding Lights returning to the AM ranks and still having the iTunes discount. I'm not expecting it to happen, but I would gloat so hard if Billboard allows it to return on the 9/25 chart.

[mylo]

It ain't coming back from the dead for a second time.

SOUR is the clearly the bigger album. That person is a Taylor Swift stan with a strong disdain for Drake who can't help themselves.

I don't disdain Drake, let alone strongly.

He's fine.

His album is the topic currently since it just came out. It is natural to compare it to the bestselling album of 2021. You choosing to believe that is a sign of "strong disdain" is your personal choice.

People I disdain with #1 albums this year: morgan, justin, billie, kanye.

And BL has been played for Pulse bingo by the predictable source.

What has Billie done to deserve disdain lmao

Was it the anti-Asian thing?

Hmm, even in the UK shivers only got to #4 spotify.

while we're at it:

[Gary]

Blinding Lights is still a thing, OK

After the Kanye effect

BL went recurrent on radio (from #19)
digital songs was #45

Streaming is a little more difficult to gauge because most of the Kanye & Drake songs will be gone in a couple weeks (Pre Kanye BL was #35)


With #25 being the barrier - Might be time to say goodbye -

[nathanalbright]

At the very least we may expect a good long run for BL on the recurrent charts.

[Gary]

probably -

Even after 8 debuts on that chart from Kanye

Sunflower (the current longevity leader) - stands at 93 weeks

[Groovy]

The UK charts are weird, they'll have a revolving door at the top 10 and then have songs like Perfect, Shallow, Sunflower and Mr. Brightside stay on the charts forever.

Perfect example, drivers license's run on their chart, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-18

That is thanks to ACR.

Songs that have reached 10 weeks, and have been declining for the past 3 weeks get their streams halved (instead of streams/150 it becomes /300 for those songs). ofc every song decreases in weeks 8/9 unless there is a remix/music video.

This rule is in order "to accelerate removal of older songs".

drivers license got hit by the ACR rule. Bad Habits will drop next week.

10 days since the release of Certified Lover Boy and tracks off the album still own 19 of the top 20 spots on U.S. Apple Music.

Woah! Apple Music may as well just be Drake's own private platform. He dominates

Deserved

Someone explain how is 2021 an even bigger year for Abel?

[dremolus - solarpunk]

So generous of SHM to give another hit to an underground OHW

[Enigma.]

at The Weeknd releasing a new single once a month. Is it a race between him and Bieber or sth

[mylo]

^^ fairly certain he's a feature on a SHM track. However expect more from him as he wants to make a short film video kinda like the After Hours Short Film

[iamsorare]

Weeknd still didn't realize that he needs a break

[Enigma.]

Stay has just leapt over 4 Drake tracks on AM. The VMA effect?

[iamsorare]

The fact that only Bieber's performance had big boost on iTunes and AM so far is amazing lol ..Stay and Ghost had huge increases

Clearly. Seems like it's slowed down now, though. I imagine it'll rise when people are awake again. It rose to #16 behind Hurricane but Yebba's Heartbreak has surpassed it and now it's down to #17. Tracks off CLB still own the top 14 positions, along with #16, #18-#21, #24 and #28.

[phieaglesfan712]

It's weird seeing This Is Halloween already on the Top 100 of the iTunes chart with September not even half over. Thriller isn't even there yet. Speaking of potential recurring Halloween songs, I wouldn't be surprised if Justin Bieber's new song Ghost gets a boost every Halloween on its title alone.

[strongerq]

But is Pulse ready?

[Enigma.]

It's just another #1 for BTS but Coldplay getting one too with zero relevance otherwise.

[phieaglesfan712]

Oh gosh, I hope Fancy Like and/or Way 2 Sexy blocks this Coldplay/BTS song. (I didn’t include Stay because I know it will be far past it’s prime and no longer a contender for #1 whenever this comes out.)

[Groovy]

I'm all for Coldplay getting another number 1 and it'll be fun reading the posts when BTS gets another number 1.

[shayonce]

another mass buying #1 coming.
