Donβt forget that Plush, which was in my opinion the best song of the 90s, didnβt even chart on the Hot 100. That one felt big in 1992/93. That's only cause the masterpiece Common People by Pulp temporarily slipped your mind :) |

Plush did reach top 20 in radio which should at least be eligible to chart in the Hot 100 if Billboard didnβt have those rules. Sure, but as we've already seen with people complaining that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" felt bigger than its #6 peak, had "Plush" been allowed to chart and then peaked in the like the 40s people would be complaining. So, it's a no-win situation that ultimately gets back to labels not releasing physical singles for a lot of popular songs. |

Peaks on the pop chart for any song will always "feel" differently than the time period it charted. Songs age differently over time.

I feel like too many of us still define how huge something is by it's peak position, as if the difference between #1 and #6 (points-wise) can't be close, or that there aren't a dozen other factors at work that prevented higher positions. It's like #1 or bust for big hits for some of us. "Felt bigger than its # peak" comments rarely include the other songs in the equation that week, it's just a retroactive "it was huge so it should have peaked at #1" which is just not how it works. We all know this, yet it just always comes up.
Not to mention the longevity factor, and/or how songs fair on the genre-based charts. Pre-2000s, there was a decent amount of disconnect between what played heavily on MTV and what played heavily on pop radio. Pop radio counted towards the Hot 100, MTV spins did not. Pop radio has a much larger radio audience than rock, for example, and rock fans typically buy albums, not singles.
Sometimes looking at album positions and/or sales tell more of the story than a singles/songs chart.
I know this is not new information, but sure seems like it bears repeating a lot in these threads.

Sometimes though songs are bigger than the song, Barbie Girl was one of those - at the time it was out. It was all over the media, entertainment shows and talked about everywhere. That though didn't translate into huge chart or sales success. Like usually happened in similar situations. |

Congratulations, man. You proved us wrong. ADT will be at #1. You were right this whole time. Yea. Maybe not 10 weeks, but at least two and potential for more, calling it when it was still new and low on the charts, good job, this is the type of predictions I like! Looking into the future and trying to determine what will or won't be a hit in a few weeks. Sometimes you nail it, sometimes you don't. It the fun part is trying Record label reps lived and died for decades on their ability to , or not to, do this stuff. Back when you had to six months out from release decide how many copies to manufacture, and what song from the album might be the best choice for a single. |

Another thing maybe worth mentioning is that just because a song is #10 in airplay, doesnβt necessarily mean it isnβt everywhere and not known by everyone. At some point, a song can become familiar by listeners without having to hear it on repeat the way you might hear the song at #1. And for points around songs that βfelt biggerβ or are βmore remembered,β some songs just have a bigger presence that their chart performance may not lend support to. Iβm sure most people who lived through the 90s know βBarbie Girlβ and as known as that was and remains, it didnβt exactly burn up the charts. It wasnβt a huge radio hit (βTurn Back Timeβ outpeaked on pop radio) and Iβm not sure how it did on the Hot 100 but the song itself was HUGE. It felt huge but the numbers donβt support that. Thatβs why feels can only go so far. Some songs are more instant, more memorable and more conversation-worthy, and those are all elements that contribute to how big a song can βfeelβ. Forget about radio hits from 20 years ago apparently something called "To The Moon" got to #12 on radio this year and I'm not sure anyone's ever listened to or cared about it or even that it exists at all. |

That song was a viral hit on TikTok, but I did find it a bit surprising that the metric it was the most successful in (in the US at least) was radio, and I can only assume the reason why radio latched onto it was due to the sample of a cover of Bruno Mars's "Talking to the Moon". |

Since somebody mentioned Supalonely, I wanna take this opportunity to say Benee is one of the best pop artists of the decade and she has released tons of really good music that you should listen to. Her recent EP is really good and her track βBeach Boyβ is one of the best tracks of the year.

DaBaby 04 03 Stay - The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber People forget how close the race for #2 was between G4u, Levitating, and Stay that week. My guess is that if Butter hadn't existed, Dua's team would have pulled all the stops to get Levitating to #1 during this week, especially knowing that LNX was going to release the next tracking week. My calculations have G4u at 283 points, Levitating at 280, and Stay 274 that week. Of course, the next tracking week was when the DaBaby controversy happened as well. |

She does some backing vocals on Speedy Gonzalez, but sang on hundreds of others. from Batman theme, to being Natalie Wood's voice on a nominated song, to The Partridge Family. We always like to celebrate our favs, but most wouldn't exist without the tireless uncredited efforts of others. |

I kinda thought that too, but later in the paragraph it says driven by a Gunna remix. Making it sound like it is a weekly total. Then I thought maybe they got a decimal place wrong, but I doubt they'd go to all the effort to even bring it up for 4.54 m streams for the week. it is a shame they dropped the on-demand streams chart. |

^ Yeah To the Moon was not on the Streaming Songs chart at all that week (4-9-22, when We Don't Talk About Bruno was #1), so there is no way it had 45.4 million on-demand streams that week. That number must have been cumulative, or the writer gave an incorrect number (I looked that writer up, Michael Saponara, and he seems to be relatively new to Billboard, so I could see him making that mistake). I couldn't find a chart history page for JNR Choi, but it looks like To the Moon never appeared on Streaming Songs at all, and with a #14 radio/#38-Hot 100 peak, this was indeed an overwhelmingly radio-driven hit, even more so than an established pop artist like Maroon 5 or Ed Sheeran, which is kind of mind-boggling given that this is a new artist and if this was a TikTok viral song. And even more so, according to its Wikipedia article, it was PROMINENTLY playlisted by Spotify. The article also mentions it was removed from streaming services, but only temporarily in January due to a rights issue.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Moon_(song)It's not a bad song btw, just listened to it again and it's quite interesting! I'm not too familiar with this Drill style of Hip-Hop. |

^ Yeah To the Moon was not on the Streaming Songs chart at all that week (4-9-22, when We Don't Talk About Bruno was #1), so there is no way it had 45.4 million on-demand streams that week. That number must have been cumulative, or the writer gave an incorrect number (I looked that writer up, Michael Saponara, and he seems to be relatively new to Billboard, so I could see him making that mistake). I couldn't find a chart history page for JNR Choi, but it looks like To the Moon never appeared on Streaming Songs at all, and with a #14 radio/#38-Hot 100 peak, this was indeed an overwhelmingly radio-driven hit, even more so than an established pop artist like Maroon 5 or Ed Sheeran, which is kind of mind-boggling given that this is a new artist and if this was a TikTok viral song. And even more so, according to its Wikipedia article, it was PROMINENTLY playlisted by Spotify. The article also mentions it was removed from streaming services, but only temporarily in January due to a rights issue.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Moon_(song)It's not a bad song btw, just listened to it again and it's quite interesting! I'm not too familiar with this Drill style of Hip-Hop. Drill's pretty good - Dior by Pop Smoke (I imagine) is probably it's biggest song. Got It On Me is also quite good, IMO - I believe that it leans drill, although I know his posthumous albums were more trap. |

If you want to find the biggest drill song, you need to look outside the US for it. |

All predictors are in agreement on Bad Habits going recurrent and Flower Shops staying on the chart. However, the predictors are split on whether Circles Around This Town will go recurrent.
