Wow, I didn't realize Drunk (Go Home) was charting again and peaking. I've noticed Billboard's 20-week recurrency rule is applied ... interestingly to country songs lol

It dipped off the chart a long time ago, but it eventually returned at 47 and continued to today. I guess it's just been steadily rising this entire time, and then as soon as it got over #50, it overcame the recurrent rule.

The #47 I can understand, but they were kind for allowing the #56 in the following week (below the recurrent #50) to remain on the chart lol. I guess cuz it rose in points?

Yes, if you look at Hot Country Songs that week, the song had a bullet (or I guess "star" now that they've changed the graphic for the symbol).




On Billboard lists, if a song loses 5 or more positions, it will not be designated with a bullet even if it gained in points. On album bomb weeks like the mentioned, this means it's often handy to look at the Hot genre lists to see what's still pacing up.

Some country songs take so long to climb that the 20 week rule doesn't fully make sense, and this one is a prime example.

The way Billboard applies the recurrent rules is nonsense, and another reason why I don’t take the Hot 100, especially the bottom 50, seriously. Recurrent rules ought to be all or none.

The point of recurrency is to rid the chart of older songs that are no longer 'hot' but are lingering. If a song is still steadily gaining and hasn't peaked, that is a different situation than something that has been declining but is hanging around.

Drunk has to be the wildest journey to the top 40 of any recent songs

To me it was a battle to see if Elle King could escape OHW status or not and wow it was an adventure to get here.

I would respond with what I think is happening on the weekly recurrent rules are "nonsense", "arbirtary and inconsistent" discussion with Drunk(Go Home)- but there is really no point

Although this might be a clue......... 




Elle King & Miranda Lambert ‘Drunk’-Dial Up a Country Airplay No. 1
"The fact that a duet by two women hasn't been No. 1 since 1993 is crazy," Lambert tells Billboard.

By Jim Asker



04/11/2022


For the first time in nearly 30 years, a collaboration between two women tops Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, as Elle King and Miranda Lambert‘s “Drunk (and I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” rises from No. 3 to No. 1 in its 46th week on the survey (dated April 16).




In the tracking week ending April 10, the RCA/Columbia Nashville single increased by 7% to 24.8 million audience impressions, according to Luminate, formerly MRC Data.



The song marks the second shared Country Airplay leader (dating to the chart’s January 1990 inception) by two female soloists, after Reba McEntire’s “Does He Love You,” with Linda Davis, led the list dated Nov. 6, 1993.



“The life of this song has taught me so much: Everything has its own time and path,” King tells Billboard. “And when in doubt, add Miranda Lambert. I am so thankful to you, Miranda – you are a shining light, and nobody makes me laugh harder than you. I am so unbelievably proud of us, and our song.”



“Elle is one of my favorite artists,” shares Lambert. “Elle is one of my favorite artists and one of my favorite people to be around. I am proud to call her my friend, and I’m so glad she asked me to do this song with her. The fact that a duet by two women hasn’t been No. 1 since 1993 is crazy. So, the fact that we got here today means even more because it’s bigger than us. Thanks, Reba and Linda, for paving the way.



“Now let’s get drunk and not wanna go home!”


“Drunk,” which King co-wrote with Martin Johnson, marks her second Country Airplay No. 1 in as many visits. It follows her featured turn on Dierks Bentley’s “Different for Girls,” which led for a week in October 2016. King broke through with “Ex’s & Oh’s,” which reached No. 10 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Adult Pop Airplay in November 2015. Amid its Country Airplay climb, “Drunk” hit No. 12 on Adult Pop Airplay last September; on the April 16 Hot 100, “Drunk” becomes King’s second top 40 hit (and Lambert’s 10th), rising 41-37, after it debuted in March 2021.



Lambert lands her seventh Country Airplay leader and first since “Bluebird,” which dominated for a week in August 2020. She first reigned with “The House That Built Me” for four frames beginning in June 2010.



On Hot Country Songs, “Drunk” pushes 7-6 for a new high. It drew 4.6 million official U.S. streams (up 2%) and sold 2,200 downloads (up 5%) in the April 1-7 tracking week.



Notably, among her 15 Country Airplay top 10s, Lambert boasts another female duet: “Somethin’ Bad,” with Carrie Underwood, hit No. 7 in October 2014.



All charts dated April 16 will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 12.

waiT, not Drunk DEMOLISHING Norah Jones "Don't Know Why"'s record 24-week rise for a woman to the top 40 by taking 5 additional weeks to do so (29 weeks) [honorable mentions to KT Tunstall's Suddenly I See (23 weeks), Tate's You Broke Me First (20 weeks), and Ellie's Lights (19 weeks)]

although Norah Jones still has the solo female record

Suddenly I See had a pretty wild run too nn, similar to Drunk in that it basically had 2 different chart runs and peaked (as well as first hit top 40) in its second one acharts.co/song/2223

i mostly know suddenly i see from devil wears prada.

Wild Juice Wrld is still top 10, even with no big hit singles

[nathanalbright]

Having a big album really helps; it's also interesting to see just how badly the Covid pause is still affecting touring income.

[JukeboxJacob]

I think a commercial that airs on Fox News (ew) MIGHT be responsible for Drunk’s second life on the chart? Idek what the commercial is lol, I just hear it on the TV from my room all the time.

Elle also made a song for The Bad Guys, and it’s decent. Don’t expect it to chart tho
