Billboard Hot 100: 04/09/2022

[rimetm]

So, the one thing nobody mentioned yet that adds some important context to this week in particular is that credit additions are based on consumption activity. In other words, if a new version of the song has the lion's share of sales and streams, that's all it needs to get its credit added. With how much of a gain "Big Energy" had in Streaming (over 100%) and Sales (well over 100%), the prospect of the remix comprising more than 50% of the total is viable.

The remix version likely sold more than the original, but I don't think I've seen where the remix version was higher on any streaming platform? The remix version was also only available for 4 days of the chart week, so even if it had more streams for a day or two somewhere, it would have to be way ahead to make up for the 3 days it wasn't available.

It'd be kind of hilarious if this song that everyone's banking on having a big debut and shaking up the hot 100 actually debuted really low just because it was so big on Thursday lmao

well this is probably happening isn't it lol

[iHype.]

From my understanding, awarding remix credits can be done if the remix has either 1. higher share of Hot 100 points or 2. higher share of Hot 100 points with airplay removed from the equation.

Say So (solo) for example was already a top 5 airplay smash and def probably had almost entirely all of its airplay from the original. That combined with the streams/sales for the solo would've given that version the higher points in total. However, the remix had a considerable lead in sales/streaming points due to the fan campaign.

Same with 34+35, Savage Love, Perfect. Also probably the same case with S&M, Till The World Ends, etc back in the day.

The logic is the most popular version of the song should be credited, but also if a remix is clearly driving a large part of the song's success aside from airplay then an exception can be made. Mostly since airplay will only ever play 1 version to begin with, and overtime that may not be the most popular version with the actual public anymore. (Example, All Too Well 10 min version is clearly the most popular version with the public these days but obviously radio would never play that version if it was to become a radio single)

Big Energy's remix will not have more total points or more points removing airplay. Mariah's fanbase isn't mass purchasing webstore copies and 5k~ sales on iTunes these days is relatively nothing in comparison to the streaming lead of the solo version.

Harry Styles could debut at lower region this week? It's not Friday yet in the US.

Maybe? Let's see Spotify's next update.

He's a big deal but I don't feel Adele levels of hype. He's certainly above Ed Sheeran's current hype and a similar release hour did not yield an early debut for Shivers or BH. Tl;dr we'll see but don't bet on it.

Lmao didn't age well fuck u Choco

I have a strong feeling her label will try to arrange this for her and that Billboard will oblige, whether or not she has the majority of points. This is Mariah we're talking about, and they wouldn't want to snub her. It seems they've done this for other artists as well; the rules can be somewhat flexible at the right price.

You sound so naive and ridiculous with this mess.

Let me unpack the nonsense you are insinuating by what you just said:

1. Billboard accepts bribes for chart placement
2. Mariah Carey's chart positions are bought by her label
3. If Billboard follows their own rule, they are "snubbing" an artist who doesn't receive credit (or this only applies to Mariah?)
4. Mariah's #2 peaks are all snubs, because Billboard snubbed her by not just giving her the #1

If you are going to say rando crap like "it seems they've done this for other artists" - at least provide a photocopy of a fake receipt to back it up.

The cringiest post in awhile, congratulations.
  

Lord, let me remind you that I did not mean for my post to be particularly derisive, or anti-Mariah, I was just laying out the situation of how I think it would possibly go. The tenor and defensiveness of your response is unwarranted.

In addition to the reasons and scenarios everyone else has provided, one important thing to add, if you want "receipts," is that Billboard HAS actually accepted bribes for chart placements in the past. It's well documented that in the late 70s, Billboard's chart manager at the time ("Robert Whardlow" or something I believe, I'm not exactly sure because he wasn't very well-known and his name isn't easily google-able, maybe someone can help me with that), accepted bribes for several Bee Gee's chart placements, as well as others I believe. Yes this was a long time ago and they probably operate under stricter standards now, but obviously your assertion that this has never happened with this company before is erroneous, and it's not completely inconceivable that they could, at least to some degree, go down or currently go down this route.

If Billboard's crediting rules for remixes were so clear-cut, why is there such doubt and confusion amongst us so many times when major artists' remixes come out? They are definitely nontransparent and inconsistent at times. It seems that you are trying to paint this alternate-reality narrative and are indeed the somewhat naive one yourself.

You don't know who I am or what I do to say whether my response is warranted or not.  You don't get to decide how someone else should feel about what you said in a public space. You said what you said, and I said what I said in response to it.  Sorry if my tone was too much for you, but you'll be ok. I'm not the first to provide you with a mirror on this board.

If you re-read your original post that I responded to, you are talking in the present tense with a "strong feeling" and proceeded to say that you think Billboard will disregard their own rule in 2022 as to not snub Mariah. "This is Mariah we're talking about."  And that they can do whatever for the right price. You chose your words. I chose mine to tell you that your suggestion is ridiculous. Sorry if it wasn't clear that I responded in reference to your current take on the current chart, not something that happened 40+ years ago. That also had nothing to do with adding an artist credit via a remix in 2022. And the other people's examples were also not relevant to this, either, and I responded to "everyone else" already.

Yes, 4-5 decades ago was under totally different circumstances, as you admitted yourself, and I never said that the charts weren't a relative mess back in the day, or that a certain bad individual didn't take advantage of his position.  It was a whole different world, with very-unscientific means of reporting data. It's still not precedent for Billboard adding an artist credit to a hit song without merit, disregarding their own public rule, in front of a very connected, loud, following of artists, labels, and fans, all obsessed with numbers in 2022. They've pissed off quite a few people in their years of charting, which doesn't really bode well for your theory that they are taking bribes.

You mentioned that maybe I have an "alternate reality" - but I'm not the one expressing a conspiracy theory to others.  But I get it, I made you feel like you have to defend yourself so you tried it. It's just an interesting choice of words coming from someone who speaks of a conspiracy theory so confidently. I have not theorized about anything on this board today. You have. Again, you can say what you want, but you can't control how others will react to it.

Your opinion on whether or not Billboard is transparent enough in regards to crediting is what it is -- your opinion. And maybe others share that opinion. That's fine. However, it's not really a surprise there's still confusion, when board mainstays like you say things like what you said in that original post. You are feeding -- and now trying to justify -- a false narrative (until proven otherwise), with a straight face, that in the present, Billboard is doing shady things for certain artists and/or labels, when you and I both know that they are under intense scrutiny every week these days. The data is documented through different agencies, and available to those who subscribe to it, so I don't know why Billboard would hide these days, especially on account of one of thousands of artists.

Feel free to think I'm naive for calling you out on what I believe is a damaging, unfounded narrative that continues to pollute this thread and social media. Or for pointing out that if what you're saying were true, everyone would be doing it, along with the other insinuations that don't really make sense in our current reality. This really has nothing to do with Mariah specifically, it's just that your post was specifically about her with a very odd implication that she somehow has influence over the decisions Billboard's chart department makes. It's still a very odd thing to suggest, imo, and not only reflects poorly on her (or any artist's) chart legacy, but on Billboard and the entire legacy of their premier chart. It's not perfect, never has been. Nothing ever is. Mistakes have been made. Crimes may have been committed. But in today's world, I think we owe the chart we all follow a little more respect, and the benefit of the doubt, opposed to making it seem like the whole thing is just a wishy-washy fraud that's able to be bought.

This Top 10 is way underrated. The worst song on this list is How You Remind Me, and even though I hated Nickelback, that wasn't too bad of a song.

Ashanti did a really good job of sampling DeBarge's Stay With Me, which I heard yesterday on radio.

[kindofbiased]

It's funny, I expected Big Energy to get a big boost into the top 5 at the start of the tracking week because of the album & remix, then I didn't see the remix really make a dent at all on streaming so I thought it was gonna be stuck in the lower half of the top 10, so now I'm surprised about it actually getting as high as I initially expected lmao

That's how weak the top 10 is lol

[otaviohmg]

Crazy to remember that Big Energy was first performed at the VMAs for almost 50 seconds (because of the advertising time slot) and now could be the first female #1 of the year featuring a legendary singer

How You Remind Me’s longevity is crazy here. I always wondered how it was the Year-End #1 but you can see how it’s outlasted going on three months worth of #1s after it fell from #1 and is still Top 10.

What was the "34+35" remix controversy?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Whether the remix featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. It wasn't even aware the remix existed until that was the version that appeared in the 2021 Year-End Hot 100. I still haven't heard it.

Latto leaps to her first Hot 100 top 10, as “Big Energy” vaults 11-3. It jumps 5-2 on Digital Song Sales (12,900, up 146%) and 7-6 on Radio Songs (52.7 million, up 8%) and debuts at No. 14 on Streaming Songs (9.5 million, up 36%), as it triples up with the Hot 100’s top Airplay, Sales and Streaming Gainer awards. (It’s the first song to sweep all three honors in a single week since Adele’s “Easy on Me,” following its first full week of tracking, atop the Oct. 30, 2021, chart.)

“Big Energy” bounds following the March 25 release of Latto’s second LP, 777, and the March 28 arrival of the song’s remix with Mariah Carey and featuring DJ Khaled. (Carey and DJ Khaled are not listed on “Big Energy” on the Hot 100, as the remix did not account for the majority of the song’s overall consumption during the tracking week.) Carey sings a portion of her 1995 eight-week No. 1 “Fantasy” in the remix; both songs interpolate Tom Tom Club’s classic “Genius of Love,” which hit No. 31 on the Hot 100 in April 1982.

“I fell in love with the beat,” Latto told Billboard in November of reimagining “Genius of Love” as “Big Energy.” “It’s so catchy. I knew it would bring a new audience and fanbase to my career.”

“Big Energy” concurrently surges to No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, becoming Latto’s first leader on each list.

Easy On Me already off the Top 10, with abcdefu and WDTAB soon to follow. Meanwhile, Heat Waves and Stay remain firmly on top, with the latter tying the Circles record of spending the first 38 weeks in the Top 10.

I’d say it still is. It’s just more common than it used to be. Isn’t it Adele’s longest running top ten? And if anyone has monster hits, it’s her.
