I’m all here for Harry to get his 10th week at #1. It’s officially the song of the summer. I saw that coming from a mile away. Ideally it would be nice for Lizzo to get it NEXT week, and then Kate Bush after that, before the Beyonce storm comes in.

[firefox]

Hoping any of these Bad Bunny songs crossover to pop stations and Titi Me Pregunto is that song. With the success of his album, I think it deserve a #1 hit (his first solo and second overall, if ever).

More so means Brent Faiyaz just really smashed hard for his expectations. R&B isn’t exactly smashing in 2022 either.

He’s also doing the same vicinity as Jack Harlow who has the biggest Hip-Hop hit of the year. Does that mean the “state of Hip Hop music is in the gutter”?

Brent Faiyaz is an independent artist, and a new artist. An artist who has as much mass marketing as Ed Sheeran performing in the same vicinity as an independent artist is inexcusable. Jack Harlow is not even in the top five of biggest openings for hip-hop albums this year, so no, that does not? In addition, you guys are the ones trying to act as if his album is not a bust. I have been saying Jack Harlow's album is a bust from the jump. Jack Harlow just proves that Twitter is not reality. Ed Sheeran's bust has greater insinuations. You are the one who laughably stated that Dua Lipa and Kid Laroi, who are not reaching anywhere near those figures, are the new superstars, so you oughta know how surprising that is                     

This post isn’t really talking about anything. Ed also was not in the top 5 openings for Pop during 2021 (Adele, Taylor, Olivia, Billie, etc opened higher). Therefore you just invalidated your own point you were own making. So again, this comparison makes no sense and doesn’t indicate how the Pop genre is doing overall.

The biggest Pop artists can open with considerably higher numbers than the biggest R&B artists. So again… what are you arguing? All you’ve pointed out was that Brent’s first week was really good for his standards.

I think longevity is pretty much the norm for the streaming era. We’ve seen too many songs break records the last couple of years for it not to be a trend.

I bet if there was a way to track things differently years ago and there was streaming instead of sales I think we would find out people always listened to music they got longer than a couple of months.
I remember being a kid and reading my radio stations top songs but wondering why I heard my favorites prior singes more than their new one that was supposedly played more.
I doubt listening habits changed all that much.
I think it’s more the way things are tracked.

Yeah this has always been true, which we first saw in the early 1990s with the advent of Soundscan and BDS where we saw that stations were playing songs for longer than the charts had been showing. There was more longevity in sales, too, but sales obviously don’t reflect continued listening like radio and now streaming do.

Has anyone done a comparison of average time in the top 10 and top 40 of airplay across decades? I’d be interested to see the patterns there. Of course the main issue would be that pre-late 1990s the airplay chart didn’t include all formats, and that’s one main thing that helps longevity. Maybe the comparison can just be made within Top 40 radio.

Nowadays it's hard to imagine how fast the turnover was in those years... Michael Jackson's "Bad" album generated 5 #1 singles but the average was 5 weeks in the top ten and less than 20 weeks in the Hot 100 each. Was it realistic or just fabricated?

I guess it's half and half:

* it's not like people were listening to hit songs just for a month or two and then moving on to the follow up, for sure

* but also the lifespan of singles was shorter (maybe pop being the only airplay format allowed had something to do with it)

Well some of that gets back to the metrics of that time; radio stats were based on playlists submitted by stations (or whomever), and we know they pretty much dropped songs from official playlists after they'd peaked even though the songs were still being played. So, that certainly led to shorter chart runs even though songs were being played. The singles from Bad spent 11, 10, 13, 13, 11, and 9 weeks each on the Top 40 airplay chart.

A more interesting comparison is someone like Whitney Houston since she had hits in the 1980s and into the mid-to-late 1990s. She had six straight #1s at Top 40 in the 1980s, with the most weeks spent on the chart being 14. "Exhale" peaked at #6 on Top 40 radio yet spent 21 weeks on the chart. Huge difference. "Count on Me" spend 10 weeks on the Top 40 chart despite a #28 peak; that's only 1 week less than the #1 "Didn't We Almost Have It All."

Madonna is another one; "Take A Bow" spent 25 weeks on the chart, and even "You'll See" spent 17 weeks on the chart. None of her 1980s hits had that many weeks.

chingaling I meant to also consider your point about how long songs are pushed. "As It Was" has been charting for 14 weeks, but "Late Night Talking" already has a video and has been top 10 at Top 40. So, the second single was essentially making a mark 3 months after the lead single impacted. I think the Sour singles only had 2-3 months in between each one, though someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure labels don't cycle through singles the way they did in the 1980s, but I also think it's currently a bit misleading because singles are sometimes pushed quickly, we just also see the previous single still charting so it has a different feel than when a single disappeared off the chart and then a new one took its place.

[renfield75]

You also have to remember that sales were a finite source of chart points before the iTunes era. Not just because we couldn't measure how many times someone listened to a song they purchased but because there was a point when the physical single would sell out. After a store's stock of a vinyl, cassette, or CD single would sell out that would be it for sales points. It would be equivalent to a song being removed from streaming platforms after a few months...imagine how that would impact the longevity of chart runs.

[badrobot]

Also remember that, in order to listen to a song back then, you had to buy a physical copy of it and swap out whatever you had in your CD/vinyl/tape player to play it. Or, you'd hear it on the radio or MTV. Most people had far smaller music collections than they can create today on streaming, and honestly listening to the same CD over and over again got old fast.

Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ Scores Milestone 10th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
The song is the 10th Hot 100 leader of at least 10 weeks on Columbia Records, the most among all labels.


By Gary Trust

07/18/2022

Harry Styles‘ “As It Was” continues atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, dominating for a 10th total week. The song marks Styles’ first Hot 100 leader of at least 10 weeks – and the 10th for Columbia Records, the most among all labels over the chart’s history.



Plus, Beyoncé‘s “Break My Soul,” which holds at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 7, hits the Radio Songs chart’s top 10, becoming her 18th top 10 on the airplay tally and her first in a lead role since 2014.


The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated July 23, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (July 19). For all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

“As It Was,” released on Erskine/Columbia Records and which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated April 16, tallied 74.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (essentially even week-over-week), 18.1 million streams (up 1%) and 5,000 downloads sold (down 5%) in the July 8-14 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The track holds at No. 3 after four weeks atop Radio Songs, beginning in May; keeps at No. 6 on Streaming Songs, after two weeks on top starting upon its debut in April; and rebounds 11-6 on Digital Song Sales, following a week at the summit in May.

“As It Was” – from Styles’ third album, Harry’s House, which led the Billboard 200 albums chart for two weeks beginning with its debut in June and places at No. 4 on the latest list – becomes the 42nd song in the history of the Hot 100, which launched on Aug. 4, 1958, to reign for at least 10 weeks, a feat that just 4% of all No. 1s (1,138 total) have achieved.

While “As It Was” marks Styles’ first Hot 100 leader of at least 10 weeks (after his other No. 1, “Watermelon Sugar,” ruled for a week in August 2020) – it’s the 10th for Columbia Records, the most among all labels over the chart’s history. Arista and Atlantic follow with five such No. 1s each.

Here’s a recap of Columbia’s 10 Hot 100 No. 1s to reign for at least 10 weeks, with the label having logged the last three, as Adele and BTS’ latest leaders preceded Styles’ command:

“One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 16 weeks at No. 1, beginning Dec. 2, 1995
“Independent Women Part I,” Destiny’s Child, 11, Nov. 18, 2000
“Irreplaceable,” Beyoncé, 10, Dec. 16, 2006
“Happy,” Pharrell Williams, 10, March 8, 2014
“Hello,” Adele, 10, Nov. 14, 2015
“Closer,” The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, 12, Sept. 3, 2016
“Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, a record 19, April 13, 2019
“Butter,” BTS, 10, June 5, 2021
“Easy on Me,” Adele, 10, Oct. 30, 2021
“As It Was,” Harry Styles, 10, April 16, 2022

“As It Was” also sizzles atop the Songs of the Summer chart for a seventh week, as it has led the seasonal ranking, which tracks the top titles between Memorial Day and Labor Day, each week since the 2022 edition began.

Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” holds at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, with 85.9 million in radio audience (up 4%), 12.2 million streams (down 3%) and 11,000 sold (up 39%, aided by discount-pricing in the iTunes Store beginning July 8, as it wins top Sales Gainer honors on the Hot 100). The track leads Radio Songs for a second week; it tops Pop Airplay for a second frame and becomes Lizzo’s first No. 1 on Adult Pop Airplay. The single – from Lizzo’s fourth album, Special, released Friday (July 15) – concurrently crowns the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and multi-metric Hot R&B Songs charts, which use the same multi-metric methodology as the Hot 100, for a second and ninth frame, respectively.

Jack Harlow’s “First Class” repeats at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after three weeks at No. 1 starting in its debut week in April. It adds a 12th week atop the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart.

Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” is steady at its No. 4 Hot 100 best. Again sparked by its sync in the fourth season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, after the final two episodes of the season premiered July 1, the song, originally released in 1985 (when it reached No. 30), drew 31.5 million in radio reach (up 29%) and 21.5 million streams (down 4%) and sold 13,000 (down 22%) in the week ending July 14. It posts a fourth week atop Digital Song Sales and a third frame atop Streaming Songs, while surging 26-15 on Radio Songs. “Hill” also tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a sixth week each.

Future’s “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems, holds at No. 5 on the Hot 100, after a week at No. 1 beginning in its debut week in May, and Bad Bunny and Chencho Corleone’s “Me Porto Bonito” rises 7-6 for a new high, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart for a ninth week; parent album Un Verano Sin Ti tops the Billboard 200 for a fifth week.

Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves” lifts 8-7 on the Hot 100, following five weeks at No. 1 starting in March, and Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” falls 6-8, three weeks after it launched in the top spot.



Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” holds at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 7, and ascends to the Radio Songs top 10 (12-8; 42.8 million, up 22%). The song marks her 18th top 10 on the airplay survey and her first in a lead role since “Drunk in Love,” featuring Jay-Z, in March-April 2014. (It’s also her first unaccompanied by any acts since “Sweet Dreams” in October 2009-January 2010.)

Here’s a recap of the artists with the most Radio Songs top 10s, dating to the chart’s December 1990 inception:

29, Rihanna
24, Drake
23, Mariah Carey
21, Justin Bieber
20, Lil Wayne
18, Beyoncé
18, Maroon 5
18, Bruno Mars

(Plus, Destiny’s Child, with Beyoncé as a member, notched 10 Radio Songs top 10s, in 1999-2005.)

“Soul” – the lead single from Beyoncé’s album Renaissance, due July 29 – rules the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a third week.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Latto’s “Big Energy” keeps at No. 10, after it reached No. 3 in April.

Ugh, I was hoping Running Up That Hill could get a new peak this week. Hopefully next week, especially with it's huge radio gains.

Seems it's consistently lower on Billboard than all of the usual experts' predictions week after week?

Am I being greedy for asking for another week so AIW can tie The Box for the most weeks at 1 this decade?

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Hey when does that 10-week run at #1 for About Damn Time start?
