Uhh Blank Space has never got higher than that? What about the day the album came to Spotify?

Taylor held out on streaming for years. Had she been on streaming by this point or did it not come until later?

Yeah she took off her catalog like a week or two prior to the 1989 release and put it back in 2017.

I saw that Billboard adjusted the rule that now you can only buy 1 digital copy of a song and it won't reset each week. I'm not sure it's true but this is the source:

I'm tired, here's some country from just this year worth checking out

Just wanted to add one more artists because as per usual, the women are killing it in country but I finally found one male country act who's released some good country this year (and as a bonus, he's also a gay country act!). Bronco is a great evolution from Pony, highly recommend it 

One song I would like to add is this song, it came out three years ago but it's still good.

How if Mandy Moore getting her 3rd Hot 100 hits after almost 22 years, since I Wanna Be With You???
(Tragic, none of her self-titled album's singles ever charted. In My Pocket was hot. Crush was a bop. Cry was cute)

If only tangled came out in a post frozen world she Deff would’ve charted a couple more songs

BTS is going to floppp

[kindofbiased]

It'll be so funny if the Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift duet flops but Ed gets another hit by collabing with Lil Baby of all people

Her music career was stifled and sabotaged by Ryan Adams so blame him for the fact she's only recently been getting back into music

[Enigma.]

Zero airplay is really damaging DTJ, very bad tactics from the label to push his previous album at the same time.

I think we can all agree, at this point, that Don't Think Jesus, As It Was, and First Class WILL be the Top 3 on the 4/30 chart. Anyone who doesn't think this at this point isn't paying attention.

oh

[After Minutes]

First Class vs As It Was will probably be the most interesting battle on this year's YE chart. Their trajectory is really similar, it seems they may play the same part in both artists' careers and at the same time they sound nothing alike, which makes it all the more interesting.

I'd say that my relation to the two is a bit difficult, since I slightly prefer As It Was as a song, however I appreciate First Class more. As I said, it's just Jack outdoing Drake with the type of song that he's specifically known for which is a genuine power move, while as It Was is a weaker Blinding Lights/Save Your Tears with a 2022 coating

Huh? Mandy and Ryan began dating in 2008. Her music sales/success had already died down by that point. Or were you speaking strictly in terms of her releasing music?

I meant in terms of releasing music. She's been outspoken in that in addition to the emotional abuse she suffered from him, he also prevented her and other women from succeeding or releasing more music. That's why she didn't release a new album until 2020, and she stated that had this not happened, she would've further pursued music than acting.

The longevity of Imagine Dragons is insane, they came up during the huge indie boom of the early 2010s, notching their first hit in 2012 and somehow they have a radio #1 in 2022. They are literally the last "rock" band that matters.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Now if only Imagine Dragons were ACTUALLY a rock band

[HolidayGuy]

The gap in airplay is super close, so it could go either way with the Luminate numbers.

[Enigma.]

HITS has 17,222,436 streams for 'Jesus' - that AM success wasn't really huge in the end.

Oh well, figured it would have more being parked at number two for most of the week. I thought Apple Music had more streams than Spotify in the US, I guess not?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

The final weekly US Spotify chart is finally out. As It Was managed to edged out First Class by 165k weekly streams. Don't Think Jesus barely edged out Heat Waves for #3.

Country Radio’s Chart Slowdown: ‘We Must Still Take Chances … or We Will Become Irrelevant’

4/22/2022

By Jim Asker

SummitMedia's Randy Chase and others weigh in as Dustin Lynch & MacKenzie Porter's 'Thinking 'Bout You' spends a record-breaking 27th week in the Country Airplay top 10.

Dustin Lynch‘s “Thinking ‘Bout You,” featuring MacKenzie Porter, logs its 27th week in the top 10 of Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, establishing a new record for longevity in the region.

On the list dated April 23, the collaboration ranks at No. 8 with 17.9 million impressions in the tracking week ending April 17, according to Luminate, formerly MRC Data. The single, which Lynch co-wrote with Andy Albert, Hunter Phelps and Will Weatherly, has spent 50 weeks on the survey overall. It began a six-week domination on the list dated Dec. 11, 2021, becoming Lynch’s eighth Country Airplay leader and Porter’s first.

Dating to the chart’s January 1990 launch, “Thinking” one-ups Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood’s “If I Didn’t Love You,” which held in the top 10 for 26 weeks, after it ruled for three frames beginning last October. It became Aldean’s 24th leader and Underwood’s 16th.

Notably, Lynch and Aldean both record for Broken Bow Records. (Porter is signed to Big Loud and Underwood records for Capitol Nashville.)

Looking at the five longest lasting titles in the Country Airplay top 10, the top three have joined the elite club within the last year. In third place, Chris Young and Kane Brown’s “Famous Friends,” which wrapped as Billboard‘s No. 1 Country Airplay song of 2021, having led the ranking for a week last July, endured for 23 frames in the top 10.

Rounding out the five longest stays, Russell Dickerson’s debut hit “Yours” and Lonestar’s crossover smash “Amazed” each spent 21 weeks in the tier. “Yours” led for two weeks starting in January 2018, becoming Dickerson’s first of first of four straight career-opening No. 1s, and “Amazed” dominated for eight weeks beginning in July 1999, becoming the group’s third of nine leaders (before going on to crown the all-genre, multi-metric Billboard Hot 100 in March 2000, sparked by pop and adult formats’ acceptance).

It’s no secret that today’s country radio programmers, who are competing with multiple other platforms, from streaming to social media, lean heavily on research to largely determine the longevity of songs.

“We are happy to see great songs hang on for a long time,” says Nashville-based vp of country programming for Cumulus Media Charlie Cook. “The Dustin Lynch and MacKenzie Porter track is the perfect example. The song clicked with listeners, and we continue to see great research numbers on the song each week, so why would we move it out of power [rotation]? I appreciate that the record companies need to move titles through the system – and we want to help them with that, too – but we believe that playing the best testing songs the most is the best way to help them build on their artist’s brands and appeal to radio listeners at the same time.”

Cook continues, “The Jason-Carrie is another song that the listeners can’t get enough of, and still [Aldean and Underwood have since] been able to release new individual titles, so radio gets double duty from these superstars. That’s a win-win-win-win for both artists, the listeners and radio.”

Aldean’s latest, “Trouble With a Heartbreak,” ranks at its No. 15 high on Country Airplay (12 million in audience) and Underwood’s new single “Ghost Story” bullets at No. 33 (2.8 million).

Lynch, too, has followed “Thinking” with another hit, as his new single “Party Mode” pushes 32-31 for a new best (2.9 million).

Clay Walker, director/programming and operations for Audacy and based in Greensboro, N.C., concurs with Cook. He calls “Thinking” and “Didn’t” “tracks that simply cut through to our fans. Even though we’ve seen [their] chart peaks, these songs are perfect examples of how much our listeners care less about a title’s path to the top and more about hearing songs they’re most passionate about. Fact is, my job as a programmer is to support our audience by giving them the songs they care about the most, and that means keeping super hits in power until they say otherwise. In both cases, everyone wins.”

Not all in programming positions fully agree, however.

Says Randy Chase, executive vp of SummitMedia, “There is nothing better for radio and record companies than a monster smash. ‘Thinking ‘Bout You’ had it all, and the consumer still can’t get enough of it. Radio needs more songs like this, and our goal with every song we add is to create a power recurrent that becomes a power gold.

“The downside of big songs like this,” Chase counters, “is that they lull radio into a false sense of security where we subconsciously say, ‘These other songs aren’t hits. I have all the hits I need!’ Competition for consumer engagement is fierce. When we leave songs in heavy for 18 months, the next ‘Thinking ‘Bout You,’ ‘Famous Friends’ and ‘If I Didn’t Love You’ die a long, slow death in the middle of the chart because our power category has become simply another recurrent category, and the flow stops.

“To remain competitive,” Chase offers, “if we continue to shrink our playlist, another entity will build the next mega-hit. It might be a radio competitor or worse … a DSP. We must utilize the right music architecture and our gut to be master playlist cultivators and keep the music pipeline flowing. We don’t have to play everything, but we must still take chances to build the next record-setting song, or we will become irrelevant.”

The biggest story for better or for worse is Morgan Wallen, as Don't Think Jesus was the biggest debut and with it, giving rises to older Morgan Waller songs like Wasted On You, Whiskey Glasses, Sand in My Boots, and Cover Me Up, each up respectively by 9%, 8%, 11%, and 14%. Aside from that, Tek It rose a bit by 7% after a full week of tracking, and X ÚLTIMA VEZ is gaining some momentum by rising 15%.

Also hope you're ready to change your dp JukeboxJacob

I saw that Billboard adjusted the rule that now you can only buy 1 digital copy of a song and it won't reset each week. I'm not sure it's true but this is the source:

BTS is going to floppp

I wouldn't celebrate just yet. They still can pull 100-150k first week. Imagine the fanbase doing that for every different single or song they put out. They could possibly have 4 or more quick #1's in rapid succession.

Permission to dance only got 140k with mass-buying 64+ copies per person. I’d be impressed if they get more than 50k

They'll find a way. Trust lol.

They have a way waiting in the wings. Spotify's filter bounds have been deduced and Army over in Vietnam have been using that knowledge to cheese the streaming numbers intermittently, including getting Butter to #1 a few weeks ago. The question is whether they'll be able to organize US Army with that information, but it feels like betting against them probably isn't the best idea, especially if the market remains vulnerable with sub-40,000-point #1s.
