Billboard Hot 100: 05/14/2022

[firefox]

Ah yes, Lizzo! It's about damn time to get another hit!

[gikem]

Lizzo finally getting a hit song that’s released in the same year as it actually becomes a hit? In THIS economy???

[forg]

After that so-so debut of About Damn Time, good to see it rebound!

Rumors was definitely a hit but sadly wasn't one that's seemed to stick around :/ hopefully About Damn Time is able to fare better

[JukeboxJacob]

This is kinda random, but do the vocals in Bam Bam sound off tempo to the instrumental or is it just me

15. THE WAY THINGS GOING
16. BACK TO THE BASICS

And just like that, Drake's back on top.

Two things I wanna say about Tems though:
1. Am I the only one who thinks that with the way her vocals are pitched and produced, she sounds like Abel?
2. Whichever label is handling Tems is doing a good job so far so I hope her star isn't squandered. Regardless of the quality of the songs: a top 10 hit, a feature on Drake's album, and now a feature on Future's album all within 6 months, that's really impressive of her success as both an R&B act and an African act.. Really hope she has an album ready this year.

Future's AM performance after 54 hours:
1. WAIT FOR U (feat. Drake & Tems)
2. 712PM
3. PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ
4. I'M DAT N***A
5. KEEP IT BURNIN (feat. Kanye West)
6. LOVE YOU BETTER
7. I'M ON ONE (feat. Drake)
8. MASSAGING ME
9. FOR A NUT (feat. Gunna & Young Thug)
10. CHICKENS (feat. EST Gee)
11. GOLD STACKS
12. VOODOO (feat. Kodak Black)
13. WE JUS WANNA GET HIGH
15. HOLY GHOST
16. THE WAY THINGS GOING
17. BACK TO THE BASICS

WAIT FOR U will probably go down as the most streamed song this week, Top 3 debut is likely (again congrats to Tems for her biggest debut to date and the highest debut of an African act ever. Hope she gets a hit of her own because she does sound amazing live)

[Enigma.]

Future's biggest dropped to #3 on Spotify already, might not the gigantic smash after all.

2. First Class
3. Heat Waves
4. INDUSTRY BABY
5. STAY
6. Honest
7. About Damn Time
8. Woman
9. good 4 u
10. Enemy

Made a slight mistake yesterday with the Top 10 without Future: Honest should've been #4, forgot to edit it as I was doing the stats.

Biggest Gains (50K+): Something in the Orange, About Damn Time

In two days, Future got more streams than Pusha T, Lil Durk, and Machine Gun Kelly got in a week. By tomorrow or Tuesday, he'll pass Gunna and with the deluxe dropping Monday, he might have more streams than Dawn FM's first week.

Lizzo coming through!

I’m rooting for the two Drake features to come through and knock Stay out of the Top 10.

[atg]

Do you guys think Kendrick would drop the lead single this friday like Humble, or wait and drop it all at once. It’s crazy that i can say that either option would make him have a #1 anyways.

New Bad Bunny album soon?

I really wish all tracks are titled Palo, Billboard would love that

It depends on the numbers. A drop from #2 to #3 in itself might not be massive, but it did lose 460,000 streams (about -24%). Don't know if that's massive, but it's certainly sizable, plus many other songs on the album had larger % drops, so the big numbers certainly don't seem to be holding up well.

Glad to see Lizzo continuing to rebound though. It's a rare sight these days!!

I'm really confused on how you have been following streaming numbers for years and still continue to make the most basic mistake of judging a Hip-Hop song/album's streaming performance by Spotify numbers. 

Future's streams will be like 80% Apple Music. This is like when you said Lemon Pepper Freestyle would miss top 10 because it declined hard on Spotify, then it ended up debuting #3. 

Also, I'm not even sure who is expecting Future to just get a gigantic smash out the gate. This is someone who has released like 10+ projects the past 10 years, and has had 2 truly sizable mainstream hits to date (Mask Off, Life Is Good).

But the numbers are good, it's still above 1M streams and it's still #1 on AM, it'll still be in the Top 3 of the most streamed songs this week so what's the big deal. And losing over 300K+ streams or having 24% drop is nothing for an album cut during an album bomb. This ALWAYS happens with any big album release, all of the cuts will loses hundreds of thousands of streams after the first day.

Exactly. Whether you're using a drop in positions or a drop in streams, Wait for U had a decent second day (all things considered). To use another hip-hop song, which is also the biggest streaming hit of the year so far, as an example. This is how it performed in it's first few days:

First Class:
5.96M
4.09M
3.07M
3.15M
2.90M
2.62M

And that was a single while Future released an entire album. Considering the fact that Spotify isn't a platform Future is strong on, if Wait for U stabilizes at ~800K-1M daily streams, I'd call that a win for him. It was always going to pull most of it's streams from Apple Music anyways.

Lizzo let’s go!

[fridayteenage]

We Don't Talk About Bruno #1 on us youtube for the 17th week.

But reign may be ended, #3 on friday behind psy and last year's super gremlin.

[velaxti]

The best thing about We Don't Talk About Bruno is its chart run. It's a massive smash hit, iconic multi-week #1, yet it hasn't hung around at the top of the charts for 9 months, it has a fast climb and fast fall (by today's standards at least), like the hit songs in previous decades did. If all hit songs acted like this the charts would be more entertaining I think.

Although personally I'm starting to think it's not as big as Let It Go after all. Let It Go had a lot more longevity if I remember correctly.

Didn't "Let It Go" have radio play to help it sustain? It had least had AC play.

The last song to truly have this type of run was In My Feelings. Butter's run fits this mold to some extent, but much of its run was artificial.
