The ability to gauge how big songs "feel" is a matter of how much time you spend exposed to the social world (online or IRL). As someone who spends an unhealthy amount of time on social media (FB, Twitter, Discord, YT), I can speak from experience and say that Easy On Me's a pretty big hit outside of just the stats. But Bruno... that song has ascended hit status. It's HUGE. So charts aside, I'd say Bruno's the "real" #1 rn I wouldn't say so so much. They are about equal in their own sphere's, EOM more so on radio (but still respectable streams and sales), Bruno with streaming and social media. Bruno's lack of any airplay certainly diminishes any ubiquity, along with any star singers or a truly standout video. EOM just seems to be the more omnipresent song.

renaboss so every rap artist should make music like Lil Nas X so they can have some success on radio, really? Real rappers don't even regard Lil Nas X as a rapper. He's a pop star. Radio itself should evolve it's idea of what a rap hit should sound like. If a song is popular, it's popular. It doesn't matter whether or not it sounds like something radio should play or not. Radio shouldn't be this ancient institution so set in it's way that if you're not making bubblegum pop radio fodder, you don't get to have substantial airplay, even if your song is what's most impactful within culture and with actual active listeners who keep going back to streaming those songs. I both agree and disagree with this. Iβd call myself a radio defender, but I donβt think artists need to water down their sound to appeal to radio and radio audiences. Not all music needs to be played on radio. And for a lot of the people who like those non-radio songs, the fact they arenβt being played to wider audiences is part of the appeal. Those songs are more βcustomizedβ and feel more personal, direct, to the listeners who actively seek them out via other means. I agree that radio should be more flexible with what they play but also understand why they donβt. To me, the best music often isnβt whatβs being played on radio, nor is it whatβs necessarily being streamed the most. But with the music it does play, radio does have a place and can satisfy its purpose.

Yeah EOM is doing the best in all metrics, people still listen to radio and Bruno doesn't have any airplay but it does have good streams/sales. However again, Adele is doing well in all 3 metrics so she definitely deserves to be #1.

Radio itself should evolve it's idea of what a rap hit should sound like. If a song is popular, it's popular. It doesn't matter whether or not it sounds like something radio should play or not. Radio shouldn't be this ancient institution so set in it's way that if you're not making bubblegum pop radio fodder, you don't get to have substantial airplay, even if your song is what's most impactful within culture and with actual active listeners who keep going back to streaming those songs. See, I'm saying that streaming songs should evolve to be more radio-friendly, and you're saying that radio should evolve its definition of what radio-friendly is. Basically, we want the same result, for the songs on radio to be the same ones that active consumers seek out. Chart harmony. Thing is, radio still works differently and caters to a whole different demo; songs don't need to fit a certain criteria to do well on streaming, but they do if they are to do well on radio. If radio started playing the current monster hits on streaming, it would suffer; radio songs have a much smoother transition onto streaming than the other way around. Regarding your idea of what is impactful within culture, I don't know where I stand on this. I follow the charts closely, so I know what the biggest hits are, more so than the average person my age (I'm turning 30 in a few days). When a song is indeed impactful, I find it doesn't matter whether or not it has the pull of radio - from what I can gather, WAP didn't even make the radio chart, and it was arguably the most culturally impactful song of 2020; people were talking about it and playing it regularly a whole year after it came out. Most songs that make the top 10 of the Hot 100 these days are nowhere near as impactful as you might think, or as their positions might indicate. My main problem therefore stems from the fact that the Billboard Hot 100's top 10, the standard for big hits, is constantly inundated with songs that, like it or not, are not actually impactful and don't reach the majority of people. I'm with those who say that active listeners should not be seen as the sole representatives of music consumers, radio is still a major medium through which people consume their music, and when you argue about their passive role, it's not so unlike people putting on pre-made playlists on their streaming platforms and not bothering to skip when a song they don't like comes on. I do that myself. Again, if we consider the fact that in the 2000s the Hot 100 was a mirror of the radio chart, and we all know urban music dominated that decade, then I don't think it's fair to say radio is this archaic institution unable to keep up with the times. If anything, the ways in which people consume music have changed again and again over the years, from vinyls to tapes, from CDs to digital to streaming, yet radio has been a mainstay throughout, so why should the onus always be on radio to keep up, when it clearly doesn't need to in order to produce the numbers it wants? This is now going a bit off-topic, but it does circle back to the main problem I have with the Hot 100 these days: the fact that it's a songs chart instead of a singles chart. The regular album bombs are ridiculous, the constant broken records are frivolous, and the chart runs of some of our number-one hits are laughable. I know it wouldn't be enough to make it a singles chart again, because artists, companies and stans would find loopholes around it immediately. But the fact is we all mocked the UK singles chart when Ed Sheeran got 9 out of 10 top 10 hits in one week, and now the same has happened in the US with Drake. Okay, so that album was indeed the most impactful of that given week - so let it top the album chart and leave it at that. If it were indeed a singles chart, chances are it would align a lot more with the radio chart, and we wouldn't be having this discussion. Non-single tracks could still have the streaming chart and only be allowed to cross over if they met certain requirements. Is this perfect? Hell no. Would it work in any way? Probably not. So, at the end of the day, all we can do is take the Hot 100 and its component charts for what they are, bitch about them as an outlet, and be thankful for what little improvements they do make, such as this new rule about sales. Also, your comment about 'real rappers' and Lil Nas is a bit mean, but okay. 'so every rap artist should make music like Lil Nas X so they can have some success on radio, really?' Kinda? What is so wrong with this, really? Anyone who wants to be successful in a certain area usually has to compromise, this isn't news. If they want success on radio, sure, make songs fit for radio. If they don't care about that, then don't bother, no harm. Simple enough to me. Also, bubblegum pop is soooo underrated. That stuff slapped hard in the 60s (I hear).

Radio's problem is more than song being friendly on that format of not but that it is driven by what label pay and push. so there's so much disconnections right now as we're seeing live reactions daily. there're so many songs on there with zero traffic. no reactions. radio should be more reactive to audience and market, especially we're on fast life right now. + it's not like all those streaming hits are not radio friendly. and there's this US radio issue where top songs are staying there too long. like HDD said in 2020. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=322105&title=PRE-HOLIDAY-PONDERING%3A-POP-TOP-EDITIONit is very visible if you look at airplay chart from other countries like UK or Austraila, etc. Also streaming hits are not that driven by playlist as y'all think. I thought we passed that phase. they don't have that impact y'all think.

anyone remember when radio did "oops our numbers are not real, but just estimations through market research. in fact people are no longer listening to us that much right now, but let's pretend and add imaginary number to radio hits until we figure out"?

What about the omnipresence of the millions of people watching Encanto who aren't even measured by streaming or airplay?

My biggest flex right now is I haven't heard Bruno once. to the group of people who have yet to hear it... it's SO worth the listen. Beware it might get stuck in your head for 2 weeks straight tho. Oh look, it's conveniently embedded right here in this post! It's not bad but it's nothing special

Even if someone isn't a fan of "Bruno," I'd think as chart watchers we can all appreciate how this song literally took off on its own. It isn't even the song they are pushing for awards, but viewers of the movie started streaming the song and video. Of course it doesn't have airplay as it isn't even a traditional single and isn't by a 'notable' singer, but that makes its achievement that much more remarkable.

I think it's also worth noting that 'Bruno' is only really big in the U.S. Amongst the big English speaking countries (UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ), Canada, the U.S. and UK are the only countries that have Bruno in it's Top 10, the US is the only one that has itat number one. It isn't even in the Top 10 songs globally.
I guess this might be down to Disney+ still not being available in various countries around the world and theaters being closed due to COVID so there are still a bunch of kids who haven't watched Encanto legally
EDIT: So I just listened to the song for the very first time, as a fan of musicals and who has seen several in person (including The Lion King which was very interesting), it definitely is one of those musical songs that I don't think I could really enjoy not knowing the actual story of the musical. That's not a dig against the song, it's happens with certain musicals. I will say: as a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musicals (having seen both Hamilton and In the Heights), I am disappointed this isn't catchier but again, it's more about telling the story than being catchy.

Don't @ me but EOM stil being #13 on streaming is very impressive. Her album has moved over 2m units and she's not a rapper.
Bruno might be #1 on streaming but Adele is being heard over 100m times on the radio each week. I can see why she's #1 even if the song's "moment" was months ago.

Since we're talking about Bruno,
Surface Pressure >>>>>>> Bruno
Lin-Manuel Miranda puts magic on that song. I've never been teary-eyed to a Disney song. That song is a masterpiece!

You know itβs a slow week when people are still talking about someone theyβre not supposed to talk about.

I wouldn't say so so much. They are about equal in their own sphere's, EOM more so on radio (but still respectable streams and sales), Bruno with streaming and social media. Bruno's lack of any airplay certainly diminishes any ubiquity, along with any star singers or a truly standout video. EOM just seems to be the more omnipresent song. What about the omnipresence of the millions of people watching Encanto who aren't even measured by streaming or airplay? So...just because a person unwittingly hears a song in the movie or TV show, that should be count as a play somehow? By this logic: the Squid Game theme song and other music pieces in it should've been in the Top 10 for several weeks. I know this is an extreme hyperbolic example but if one song will be measured, you have to include all other songs and music pieces in media.

With that argument, every Superbowl halftime performance should fill the top 7 with 120 million streams each. btw I don't know what Bruno or Encanto is. I've literally only heard of it in this thread. There isn't even a viral TikTok sound for it (at least on my fyp). While my colleagues were discussing Easy On Me despite never discussing music at work. So based on that sample I demand that Easy On Me should be number 1 and Bruno should not be charting. hmm, the only 2021 song that hit #1 that i heard actual people talk about was montero. 2020, wap. and maybe savage?

From now on as a website can we just all come together in a moment of unity and agree to not post that Kanye single cover art

Avril debuting in the top 100 is great to see! I don't think "Bite Me" managed to chart in the top 200 on US spotify?
I think her album could do decently on streaming with her going back to the indie/punk sound. It seems to be having a bit of a resurgence.

I remember it did chart in the Top 200 of US Spotify, but it didnβt last long.

Bite Me did chart at #140, but this was also the day of the Taylor & Silk Sonic album bombs so it would've been higher without those

Bite Me did chart at #140, but this was also the day of the Taylor & Silk Sonic album bombs so it would've been higher without those Thanks! It debuted with ~281k streams. "Love It When You Hate Me (feat. Blackbear)" did 369k streams which is a decent amount more - I assume the feature helped some. I hope the album can find some sort of hit/success on Alt and maybe even a song going viral on Tiktok.

You can't have 2020 on there without mentioning The Box or Blinding Lights.
