Billboard Hot 100: 05/14/2022

[Ling-Ling]

And impressively Doja did that all with one album. Planet Her has been such a slay. And Pulse stans a blockbuster female era, the relative crickets around here regarding this album's and single's performance is kinda weird IMO.

The pop forum has been beaming with praise for this album all year, every single is a smash hit. Even it's least-pop friendly song "Get Into It (Yuh)" is flying up pop radio because Doja is just that big right now. I would argue she's the biggest popstar in the US right now, and maybe the world right behind Harry Styles and Bad Bunny.

Is it from 2007? If I had to guess, I’d say it’s at least from the last five years, or 1989 era at the absolute earliest.

Yeah that looks like it's from the Red era. Taylor didn't have straight hair during 2007.

It could just be me. I'm a constant in all Doja threads (because I do stan a blockbuster female era), it all feels kinda muted to me. Mainly because there's always been a hyper focus and obsession with chart achievements for female singers (some of the more recent examples being Future Nostalgia and Sweetener/TUN). Doja has broken and tied records at multiple radio formats, the Hot 100, BB 200 with this album. And it's just kinda... "oh, that's nice." Not that any of that matters of course, I'm just used to a more "YAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!! SLAY B*TCH!" mentality around here, lol.

Anyone know why 6 of future's songs didn't chart (not even bubbling under), but the rest were top 60?

That is because they were saying that it is a bust with no hits originally

On the 40 weeks thing in Hot 100 HISTORY

Putting that in context -- HISTORY really didnt begin to take off til about 1995 on the 40 week thing

Pre 1995 - 40+ songs


I Go Crazy, Paul Davis
Tainted Love, Soft Cell
I'm So Excited, Pointer Sisters
Red Red Wine, UB40
What About Me, Moving Pictures
Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
Dazzey Duks, Duice
Whoomp! (There It Is), Tag Team
The Sign, Ace Of Base
December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night), The 4 Seasons
Come To My Window, Melissa Etheridge

And half of those needed re-releases and multiple chart runs to accumulate 40 weeks. It was definitely incredibly rare back then to get 40 weeks in one chart run

some Pulse pop girlies were busy calling the album "mid" and pretending it wasn't full of bops front to back.

not me tho

[roadrunner]

Party 🎊 Time! Lizzo debuts in the top 40 at #19 up from 60…with “About Damn Time”. You go, girl.

[Gary]

According to Pulse rumor. Song of the summer

Lady Gaga bubbling under at #117. It'll slay next week.

lol at them using a picture of Taylor Swift from like 2007.

Even if it was, it would be more in context than a more recent picture, since the span of her 40-week hits was 2007-2015 lol.

Planet Her's performance is impressive just looking at the numbers. Even more impressive when she's pushing the boundary for what kinda lyrics are socially acceptable

You can hate as much as you want but it is smash in the making when the movie comes out.

it's hardly a 'blockbuster' era, the album didn't manage a single #1 and only has one top 5, sure it served longevity but it's far from an album that made a big cultural impact like 1989 or TD with multiple huge #1s

[HolidayGuy]

To the five Hot 100 40-plus-week tracks to go recurrent- door slammed. And, stay out.

Hopefully the next batch leave/get closer to leaving in the coming weeks.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Also, we'll see if Blinding Lights can eventually reclaim #1 on Hot 100 Recurrents.

But her #3 peaking hit was bigger than almost all #1's last year, looking at peaks doesn't say anything. The fact that she's had four undeniable long-lasting hits with no re-releases, remixes, etc. is a feat in the streaming era. All lasting over 40 weeks on the chart, the first artist in history to do so (and she could possibly make it five). That's impact. Becoming only the second artist to have three songs in the top 10 at Pop is impact. Having the longest running top 10 album for a female rapper is impact (still in there almost a year later and could potentially reach a new peak next month). Becoming the first female artist to take four singles from an album to #1 on rhythmic is impact (potentially 5 and that's not even counting "Freaky Deaky"). Having half of your album go viral on one of the biggest social media platforms is impact. And the fact that she's managed this with relatively low-key promo and without the gimmicks (especially compared to workhorses like Dua, Katy, Taylor, etc.) just makes it even more impressive. Album eras don't look like TD and 1989 anymore, but in the streaming era, this is pretty close.

People were saying Teenage Dream era wasn’t on the same level as the major eras that came before it because it didn’t have the sales they did to match the massive hits it sourced. We easily look back now and say it was huge. The same will happen with Planet Her. People always look for ways to diminish current achievements by new artists but Doja is slaying and no “non-#1” will exempt that.

I mean numbers don't lie, you can't subjectify a #1 hit (that has solid WoC) when "looking back". Anyone who thought those huge consecutive #1s weren't impressive were just delusional and/or haters.

TD & 1989's singles were inescapable while PH has singles that a ton of people haven't even heard still, lol. You can't blame this on the streaming era either, we literally just had an actual blockbuster album (SOUR) — though obviously PH is very successful nonetheless.

Agreed, SOUR was a fantastic era. But so is Planet Her. So Olivia gets four hits and her album is a blockbuster but Doja does and it's not? Doja's album has shown similar longevity as well.

And again, the current musical landscape is different than it was during TD and 1989. Which makes PH and Sour such successes. And you say PH has songs that weren't escapable and people still haven't heard them. 1) How are you measuring that exactly? 2) That's what makes album eras in the streaming era different, you absolutely can avoid any and all songs you don't want to hear. I've heard "Driver's License" exactly twice, lol. And that's because I purposefully sought it out. Doja has owned the airwaves, has done incredibly well on streaming and has been all over social media. She's about as inescapable as you can get these days.

[iHype.]

Planet Her is moreso My Everything/Title tier in success.

Teenage Dream had like 5 singles that were colossal smashes and amongst the hugest hits of the 2010s period.

Woman, Need to Know, You Right, Get Into It are nice moderate sized hits but colossal hits that will be amongst the decade hugest? Lol.

Kiss Me More was ultimately the only one that performed like a huge smash and a Decade-End hit. Similar to Problem/All About That Bass which were followed by 3-4 more nice sized hits.

Career trajectory wise, those eras also make more sense as those were breakthrough eras and them becoming household names. 1989 & Teenage Dream were moreso imperial phases of having an ultimate peak and being arguably the biggest name in music. I wouldn’t say she is at that career stage yet.

[Ling-Ling]

Eh! In this age, an artist being able to maintain an album era for over a year and land more than two or three hits is a feat. Our biggest artists and stars consistently struggle to pull that off. SOUR and Planet Her are about as TD as we're gonna get IMO.

I don’t think what even makes Teenage Dream the era it was is tied to how long it lasted. It’s about the amount of smash hits it generated. Most #1 hits ever for an era and they were all genuinely huge smashes.

Scorpion era lasted all of 6 months but still generated 3 humongous smashes (Gods Plan, Nice for What, and In My Feelings) that were absolutely everywhere, massive moments in pop culture, and broke records. So with streaming - yes eras are going to be shorter, but I do think you can still get a handful of a humongous hits from a single era.

If an era can still generate 3, 4, or 5 smash hits then that is moreso comparable to Teenage Dream. Even if they were within a much shorter span.

Woman, Need to Know, You Right, etc didn’t reach those levels. Sorry. That’s objective, it doesn’t have anything to do with streaming or the current climate.

Teenage Dream was also very well once in a generation type success, so naturally, it is supposed to be *very* hard for even the most successful eras to be comparable to it. Planet Her was very successful but is it once in a generation type success that won’t be touched for a long time? The most successful era in the past 1-2 years /=/ automatically comparable with the most successful era of a generation.

[Groovy]

I guess Get Into It (Yuh) will be the last single from Planet Her unless her team pushes a song like Ain't $hit
