[jamatthews83]

I see the excitement has reached fever pitch.

Leave You Alone is pleasant enough, but not a patch on Whiskey Sour. They really have to go with the latter for the next single

[nathanalbright]

Not a lot of hype here, but it's always nice to see new releases. I saw Khalid promoting his new release on Twitter earlier this evening.

[lazer]

Let’s see how the new Dababy and Youngboy album will perform.

[chartfreak]

Modified Madonna Frozen remix released with Fireboy.

[phieaglesfan712]

Looks like the Ed/Camila collab is going to get that radio push:

[chanman]

^It's a definite bop for me.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Me too.

Found this interesting article. Let's see how it works out for Billboard:

Billboard, Universal Music Group partner to put NFT collectibles at the top of its charts

March 4, 2022

By Marc Wojmo

The giant of the entertainment publishing world, Billboard, has teamed up with the giant of the music entertainment industry, Universal Music Group, to create a new NFT project called ChartStars, a collection of curated digital collectables available on the Flow blockchain starting in May.

According to an announcement this week, ChartStars will consist of a collection of "artist-focused digital artwork" created to commemorate a variety of accomplishments and defining moments of the Billboard Charts. The collectibles are multimedia in scope -- true to the proposition that all things can be turned into an NFT. ChartStars, for example, will feature "officially licensed art" and creative works, including short visual clips from music videos and album photography. 

Billboard said in its announcement that collecting and gamification will be built into the Flow blockchain platform through collector leaderboards, challenges and true utility baked into the smart contracts, including special access at Billboard Live Events.

As for the other side of the partnership, Universal Music Group will sift through its roster of artists and labels to commemorate Billboard chart achievements for songs that debuted on Billboard's Top 25 as well as other influential chart-related successes, including length of time on the chart, a simultaneous number of songs on the chart and historic chart records, according to the announcement.

On the technical end, Billboard is teaming up with the NFT platform Unblocked, backed by Dapper Labs, which will enable ChartStars to accept credit card payments for digital collectables and run on the environmentally friendly Flow blockchain, according to the announcement.

"For the first time, music fans will now have an opportunity to be forever linked to their favorite artists by sharing ownership of a moment in time," said Billboard President Julian Holguin. "These digital collectibles will celebrate and commemorate special chart achievements with visually stunning creative," he said.

In addition to being linked with their favorite artists, Holguin said music fans who join ChartStars will have the opportunity to compete for "real-life" prizes, providing an added, unique layer of gamification to the platform.

gross

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Talking about gross, Tom McDonald and Adam Calhoun currently have a new album at #1 in iTunes ...

[Limited Edition]

Bam Bam is surprisingly good for a Camila Cabello song

[Choco]

The Camila/Ed song is the most interesting new song to track this week by default.

She really needs a hit asap.

[kindofbiased]

Both of the singles she's released for that upcoming album have been surprisingly good, hopefully Bam Bam is able to have a better run than Don't Go Yet had

[dodgerslakers94]

Why can’t pop music be like this? 😒

It’s pretty hard to do worse than Don’t Go Yet. That was one of the worst songs of 2021.

[nathanalbright]

This is Camila we're dealing with; we won't know what the album looks like until the flops are yeeted into the memory hole (Tears In The Club, rip).

[Enigma.]

Spotify still supporting the homophobic DaBaby it seems.

[Skibidi Bop Bop]

Crazy drought in music scene this year. Not only in US but around the Globe. Can't believe that HeatWaves return on top after 47 weeks in ARIA. Only Korea and Japan is in Golden era for me.

[phieaglesfan712]

#1 song on Radio Callouts based on Pop Score:

Pop: "Heat Waves” @glassanimals

Hot AC: “Bad Habits” @edsheeran & “Stay”
@thekidlaroi/@justinbieber

AC: “Bad Habits”

Oddly enough, the Top 3 on the ARIA chart:

1 Heat Waves
2 Stay
3 Bad Habits

[whales10268]

I really like Bam Bam, hopefully it becomes a hit, considering neither Ed nor Camila are going to propel it to success on their name at this point.

[kindofbiased]

I've complained a lot about how slow this year has been in the US but god that ARIA top 3 is crazy, at least Bruno and abcdefu are *relatively* recent hits lol

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

[Enigma.]

US Spotify:

MGK #7
Camila #17

[After Minutes]

Last Call fucking slaps, didn't expect Khalid to have any more good songs in him but here we go

[Groovy]

Since nobody mentioned it, I guess I will, King Von’s album dropped and it’s currently destroying AM.

[fridayteenage]

one new song in the spotify top 15? mmm.

last week n/a
2/24 nail tech #3
2/17 city of gods #8, mamiii #15
2/10 do we have a problem #9
2/3 n/a

People were really not excited for Feb's music.

[phieaglesfan712]

People haven't been excited for music since the release of CLB. Sure there have been one week wonders like My Universe and Red (TV), but the only notable thing that has stuck around was Easy On Me, and even that is getting outlasted by older songs like Stay and Heat Waves. The weak competition has allowed songs like WDTAB and abcdefu to have a nice little run, but these songs don't have a long shelf life and I'd be surprised if either gets to 30 weeks.
