I don’t think nicki is getting that no.1. Billboard tend to release an article when the points for a no.1 song are close or if a new release is about to take the top spot. Plus nicki’s little rant on Saturday about rule changes and how she’s proud of the barbs further proves that she didn’t get the top spot.

i remember they used to do that but Uhhh i don’t think they’ve done that in like 2 years tho? If I’m not mistaken. Like when shallow was about to hit number 1

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^They did an article that said that said "It’s Drake’s ‘Toosie Slide’ Vs. The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ For the No. 1 Hot 100 Spot Next Week" just under two years ago.

[tasz]

Really hope nicki doesn't get the #1

[annoymous1]

Even if Nicki doesn't get #1 at least it's could still possibly be in the top 10 so she really shouldn't be mad about them "ChAnGinG RuLeS" at the end of the day longevity is all that matters. Songs Like Bad Habits,Heat Waves,Levitating,Need To Know,Shivers never hit #1 but have great longevity.

Blinding Lights forever, but get rid of Save Your Tears? Don't get it ...LOL

Blinding Lights is a great song that is overplay-proof, Save Your Tears' weaknesses are getting more and more apparent the more it gets overplayed. There are absolute gems on Dawn FM that far surpass it as a pop songs like Out of Time or Less Than Zero, and it is hard for me to grasp how people still haven't gotten over that song with so much new material (not only from Abel but also other artists) out now. It isn't even that the song is bad, it still is really good, but it simply isn't one of the songs that you can play constantly for a year and not get sick of

Not to mention, SYT has outlasted songs like Sunflower, Uptown Funk, and Perfect. It’s going to look funny 3 years from now, when SYT has an I Hope type run on the recurrent chart, instead of a multi-year run like the aforementioned songs. This will further distance outliers (like UF, Sunflower, and Perfect) from songs like SYT and I Hope that racked up weeks due to weak competition.

yea going #1 is not ruled out,but freefalling the next week and breaking willow's record is it really worth it?

[wavey.]

Sigh. I'm thinking her new team just put these out to test the waters again. If one of em takes off, then we'll see what they do.

[Private Dancer]

I dont think she'll be #1 because WDTAB is higher in points. The point gap is close, but not that close.

Crazy, how WDTAB has more stability and it's #1 majorily based off of streams. And next week, Nicki will freewill and WBDTB still in the top five.

[Private Dancer]

Willow shouldn't even be counted as a number one, outside of the Taylor stans no one was paying attention to that song.

And that is not a dig at Taylor or her fans, just a fact

[jamatthews83]

We literally just had that discussion in the other thread, we don't need it in this one too...

By this insanely stupid logic, none of her albums should be #1 either.  In fact, NOBODY'S albums should be #1, since only the fans are paying attention to them.

who cares about weeks on charts? Sail spent 79 weeks on the Hot 100, that doesn't mean it's bigger than Shape Of You or Uptown Funk.

The thing about Sail is that it’s run happened before the 25/52 rule was implemented. UF would have had like 76 weeks if not for the rule cutting its run. That said, SYT continuing to rack up weeks feels so wrong. Before the break, it was headed off the Top 50 (it was #41 in its 52nd week), and suddenly, it puts in 6 weeks in the Top 25. If it passes Sunflower on the all-time list, it will prove that the recurrent rules need an overhaul.

...because it was behind 20 Christmas songs, meaning it was the #21 current that week. Correctives were made for this exact scenario, and it's dishonest to frame it like it was on its way out in normal circumstances.

‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno,’ From ‘Encanto,’ Rules Billboard Hot 100 For Third Week

Plus, Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby's "Do We Have a Problem?" launches at No. 2 and Justin Bieber's "Ghost" hits the top 10, rising to No. 9.

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” from Disney’s hit animated film Encanto, tops the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for a third week.

In the Feb. 4-10 tracking week, “Bruno,” according to MRC Data, tallied 35.6 million U.S. streams (down 5%), 5.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 53%) and 8,400 downloads sold (down 38%; it was aided by 69-cent discount pricing in the iTunes Store the prior two weeks).

The track tops the Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week and holds at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales, three weeks after it topped the latter list.

Record-tying domination for a Disney movie song: Two weeks ago, among other achievements, “Bruno” became the first Hot 100 No. 1 released on Walt Disney Records; the first leader for its sole writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda; and the second No. 1 from a Disney animated film, after Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle’s “A Whole New World,” from Aladdin, led for a week (March 6, 1993).

As “Bruno” reigns for a third frame, it adds more history, tying for the longest Hot 100 command for a song from any Disney movie, animated or live-action, equaling the three-week reign of “All for Love,” by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting, from the live-action The Three Musketeers, in January-February 1994.

Most weeks at No. 1 for Disney Music Group: While “Bruno” is the first Hot 100 No. 1 for Walt Disney Records, it’s the second for the Disney Music Group, which includes the Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records labels. “Bruno” now claims the longest reign outright for a Disney Music Group hit, passing its sole other leader to-date: Hollywood release “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s led for two weeks in July-August 2007.

Soundtrack & song No. 1 for third week simultaneously: As “Bruno” tops the Hot 100 for a third week, its parent album, the Encanto soundtrack, crowns the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fifth week (and fourth in a row), with 110,000 equivalent album units (down 2%).

Encanto and “Bruno” mark the first soundtrack and corresponding song to have led the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 simultaneously for at least three weeks in over 26 years, since Dangerous Minds and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise,” featuring L.V., aligned atop the respective rankings dated Sept. 9, 16 and 23, 1995.

---

Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby’s “Do We Have a Problem?” bounds onto the Hot 100 at No. 2, with 24.4 million streams, 3.7 million in radio reach and 48,000 sold in its first week, following its Feb. 4 release.

Minaj adds her 20th Hot 100 top 10. She’s the 22nd artist to reach the milestone over the chart’s history (which dates to 1958), and the seventh woman, after Madonna (38), Rihanna (31), Taylor Swift (30), Mariah Carey (28), Janet Jackson (27) and Whitney Houston (23). Drake leads all acts with 54 top 10s.

In Minaj’s two most recent trips to the Hot 100’s top 10 before “Problem,” she earned her first two No. 1s: as featured on Doja Cat’s “Say So,” which topped the May 16, 2020-dated chart, and with 6ix9ine on “Trollz,” which bowed atop the June 27, 2020, chart.

“Problem” concurrently starts atop Digital Song Sales (via three versions: its original mix, a clean edit and its instrumental track), where it’s Minaj’s ninth No. 1 and Lil Baby’s first, and No. 2 on Streaming Songs. It also premieres at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, both of which use the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100; Minaj posts her seventh leader on each genre list and Lil Baby lands his first.

Lil Baby notches his ninth Hot 100 top 10 and ties his best rank and debut: he previously began at No. 2 as featured on two Drake tracks: “Wants and Needs” (March 2021) and “Girls Want Girls” (September 2021).

---

Adele’s “Easy on Me” descends 2-3 on the Hot 100, after 10 weeks on top, as it tied “Hello” in 2015-16 for her personal-best reign, among her five No. 1s. “Easy” leads the Radio Songs chart for a 12th week (85.3 million, down 4%), passing “Hello” for her longest stay atop the airplay tally, also among her five No. 1s.

Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves” drops to No. 4 on the Hot 100 from its No. 3 high. The track also tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 21st week each and hits No. 1 on Adult Pop Airplay; it previously led Alternative Airplay for three weeks and Pop Airplay for two frames.

The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” slips 4-5 on the Hot 100, after seven weeks at No. 1; Kodak Black’s “Super Gremlin” falls to No. 6 from its No. 5 high; GAYLE’s “abcdefu” backtracks to No. 7 from its No. 6 best, as it wins the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award for a third week (52.9 million, up 15%); and Ed Sheeran’s “Shivers” slides 7-8, after hitting No. 4.

Justin Bieber’s “Ghost” reaches the Hot 100’s top 10, rising 12-9. The song drew 62 million airplay impressions (up 6%) and 7.9 million streams (up 8%) and sold 3,400 (up 20%) in the tracking week. It lifts 5-4 on Radio Songs, 24-17 on Digital Song Sales and 40-36 on Streaming Songs.

Bieber banks his 26th Hot 100 top 10, pushing him into a solo share of the 11th-most top 10s in the chart’s history.

“Ghost” was released on Bieber’s album Justice, which in April 2021 debuted as his eighth Billboard 200 No. 1. As it enters the Hot 100’s top 10 in its 20th week on the chart, it completes his longest trek to the tier, surpassing the 18-week journey of Skrillex and Diplo’s No. 8-peaking “Where Are Ü Now,” featuring Bieber, in 2015. (Of Bieber’s 26 top 10s, 17 have debuted in the top 10.)

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Jessica Darrow’s “Surface Pressure,” from Encanto, retreats to No. 10 from its No. 8 high.

This is a great point - weeks on chart isn’t a full measure of a song’s longevity. I think the Global 200 is great because you can see songs like Closer and Sweater Weather as insane accomplishments even if they did chart less weeks than SYT or I Hope (which are still super impressive chart runs, just a different class from Sunflower / Closer / Perfect)
