Billboard Hot 100: 04/02/2022

[Groovy]

Since nobody made it, I guess I will. New Rosalia, Normani, Charli XCX & Coi Leray.

[fridayteenage]

i see encanto soundtrack is #1 on itunes again (at least atm). wonder what the chances are of retopping bb200.

[firefox]

New Carrie Underwood song "Ghost Story" and debut single of TAYA (from Hillsong United)'s "For All My Life" too. Though the latter won't make an impact.

[jthentic]

Absolved himself for ever putting out emo gurl.

The visualizer complementing Travis' drumming is a treat

[kindofbiased]

yknow if the charts are gonna be super weak can they at least be so extremely weak that we get some rosalia or charli on the hot 100

[nathanalbright]

Fair enough.

[Darkest Hour]

New Go_A for those who are interested:

Pretty low atm as it is expected to be a war between Lil Durk and Stray Kids for the bb200.

Another hit for MGK?

[Zoibator]

Charli XCX’s new album is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
I really don’t understand how she’s so underrated tbh

She definitely deserves more mainstream attention.

Dunno. So far the playlisting is non existent that's a scare + it's metalcore/punk rock-ish song.
But my exs best friend debuted @ #81 two weeks prior album debut & only then playlisting & radio picked it up. Hopefully it'll happen here too since his album is coming out nxt week😬

so far it’s not even on AM which is unfortunate. This is really good

[king_billboard_100]

Another weak week. This is the worst year I’ve ever seen :/

[kingvavis]

I've come to appreciate these dry stretches for the charts. It will make future big releases even more satisfying.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

Can 👑 Rihanna just give us an album before giving birth (just like Katy Perry) and move on with her life?!?

[nathanalbright]

Maybe she's already moved on.

[atg]

Let’s be real, would you guys really take anything to change up the top 10 for at least one week like a Drake Scorpion/CLB type album bomb or a Sour/Off Season/Legends Never Die one or what if we start hyping up Easter songs or something.

Yes, at this point, I’d even welcome a mass-bought BTS/Megan Thee Stallion collab or a Justin Bieber album drop to shake up this chart.

[kcdawg13]

This is seriously the worst year for the charts I've seen since I started chart watching in 2014, the Hot 100 is so stale, pop radio is stale, nobody is releasing anything, and the actual new releases like Charli XCX are being ignored. It's only March so maybe the charts will speed up once someone huge drops something, but goddamn is it boring to be a chart watcher this year.

But that's what people want, just take a look at the callout scores on pop radio, newer stuff like Sacrifice and Light Switch are at the bottom and 6+ month old songs like Need To Know and Heat Waves are at the top. Same with Spotify, Heat Waves is sitting right at the top. 

[nathanalbright]

A year like this in music makes me realize why hipsters hate normies so much.

[atg]

When some talk about pop music all being the same before it felt over exaggerated but seeing how dry everything is now there’s not even a defense for it anymore. After a stellar 2020 and 2021 for pop music, you would think 2022 would step it up even more especially as places are opening up again and life is slowly changing to the new environment we have to live in. Now would be a perfect time for all these artists to drop but ironically that isn’t the case.

But that’s not all to blame. There is still new music released every week yet the general public just ignores it and tends to hold onto the older music that they are familiar with. I would honestly give it until May or June as maybe the future summer jams would come in and save the top 10 from getting completely uninteresting.

Basically this too.

For what it’s worth, Heat Waves was on the bottom of callouts all spring and summer last year.

[nathanalbright]

Radio is like a real life Stockholm Syndrome scenario right now--people only are liking what they're really familiar with. So if that promo doesn't come to play a song for months until people know it enough to like it they don't give it that high callout score.

[Groovy]

Yeah I’m with y’all, this year sucks.
