Billboard Hot 100: 07/30/2022

[Limited Edition]

About Damn Time is nothing special but easily more interesting and better than As It Was to me. I also like it more than Easy On Me which feels like a weaker version of her previous material.

Morgan Wallen’s ‘Wasted on You’ Hits 10 Weeks Atop Hot Country Songs Chart
Plus, moves for Justin Moore and Zach Bryan.


BY JIM ASKER

MMorgan Wallen‘s “Wasted on You” dominates Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart for a 10th week on the July 30-dated tally. The song blasted in atop the ranking in January 2021, concurrent with the chart start of parent album Dangerous: The Double Album, and, subsequently promoted as a country radio single, has logged its next 9 weeks on top, non-consecutively, since mid-May.

The track drew 11.4 million streams and sold 4,000 downloads in the latest tracking week, according to Luminate; after leading Country Airplay for three weeks, it descends 2-3 with 24.1 million impressions.

“Wasted,” one of Wallen’s six Hot Country Songs No. 1s, is the first title to command the chart for double-digit weeks since Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like” wrapped a 24-week reign in January.



Meanwhile, the 30-song Dangerous rules Top Country Albums for a record-extending 66th week, (48,000 equivalent album units) and “Wasted,” now being promoted to pop and adult radio, becomes Wallen’s first entry on both Adult Pop Airplay (No. 32) and Pop Airplay (No. 40).

‘Summertime’ Success

Zach Bryan notches his second Top Country Albums top 10, as the 9-song Summertime Blues debuts at No. 7 (16,000 units). The Oologah, Okla., native’s American Heartbreak, containing 34 songs, arrived atop the June 4-dated survey (71,000) and, in its ninth frame, holds at No. 2 (25,000).

(Summertime Blues‘ title track is a new song, not an update of Eddie Cochran’s classic, a No. 8 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958 which Alan Jackson covered for a three-week Hot Country Songs No. 1 run in 1994.)

Moore Accompanies ‘Woman’ to Top 10

Justin Moore scores his 13th Country Airplay top 10 as “With a Woman You Love” climbs 12-10, up 8% to 15.4 million impressions.

The song, which Moore wrote with Paul DiGiovanni, Chase McGill and Jeremy Stover, is the lead single from Moore’s forthcoming album. The 38-year-old Moore, from Poyen, Ark., last ranked in the Country Airplay top 10 with “We Didn’t Have Much,” which led for a week last August, awarding him his ninth No. 1. His second of 20 entries, “Small Town USA,” became his first leader in October 2009.

On Hot Country Songs, “Woman” pushes 30-29 for a new best. It drew 1.8 million U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads in the tracking week.



‘Life’ Launches

Walker Hayes achieves his third Country Digital Song Sales No. 1 with the launch of “Y’all Life,” which sold 10,000 downloads in its first week. On the all-genre Digital Sales survey, it starts at No. 4, granting Hayes his fourth top 10.

Hayes previously led Country Digital Song Sales with “AA,” for three weeks beginning in January, and “Fancy Like” (25, starting in June 2021). “Y’all Life,” which Hayes co-wrote and will be promoted to country radio, marks his first new music released since Country Stuff: The Album, which arrived at its No. 2 Top Country Albums high in February and ranks at No. 13 (10,000 units) on the July 30 ranking.

“Fancy Like” contains its trademark date-night reference to restaurant chain Applebee’s. “Y’all Life” sports its own share of shout-outs, this time with a culinary nod to Olive Garden (which he rhymes with Dolly Parton and NBA star James Harden).

Actually, ‘Jolene’ …

Chapel Hart makes its first appearance on Country Digital Song Sales, as “You Can Have Him Jolene” soars in at No. 8 with 3,000 sold in the week ending July 21. The family trio, which released the song in January 2021, wowed with its performance of it on the July 19 episode of NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

The threesome comprises sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and their cousin Trea Swindle. The song plays off Dolly Parton’s iconic 1974 Hot Country Songs No. 1 – and Parton, Loretta Lynn and Darius Rucker all praised the trio on social media after its AGT audition.

Amazing to me that "Stay With Me" could only debut on bubbling under. I heard it and thought it felt like an instant smash. If this had come out in like 2015 with that artist lineup it would've been huge.

Lizzo #1 and Kate Bush finally getting a new peak at #3! A good week :)

I just realized that we had multiple female acts in the top 10 for a while now. When was the last time that there weren’t any. This is amazing though and i hope we keep seeing more females in the top 10.

It was CLB week, when 9 Drake songs + Stay occupied the Top 10.

The next Calvin Harris single with Offset, Normani and Tinashe is going to do much worse...

[gs]

The new Calvin era is a complete BOMB, it had so much hype when he first revealed Vol 2 but the boring/bad music killed it, rip

[iHype.]

The reception for Stay With Me and all other songs released for FWV2 has been weak so far, I don’t really think that song would’ve did great numbers in any other circumstance.

The first album was so great, and this one def seems like a notable step down. I don’t think Calvin has a strong ear for melodies these days I’ve felt “ehh” about essentially every song he’s released post One Kiss.

[nathanalbright]

This sounds like FWV2 is going to be labeled as a flop era.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I've been avoiding this song for the longest time because I don't like Mitchell Tenpenny...and I wished it stayed that way because wow, what a horrible, HORRIBLE song. One of the most disgusting songs to chart this year

I'm very much ready to see Spectrum Pulse tear this thing a new one when Billboard Breakdown comes out within the next couple hours or so.

That’s what I’ve been seeing too. I feel like I’m the only one who thinks he’s 3/3 so far.

Hopefully we get two “WORST OF THE WEEKS” in a row from him

Speak of the devil, and he gave it WORST OF THE WEEK.

3 things
1 What do you mean by "WORST OF THE WEEKS” in a row? I don't think he gave the Brent Faiyaz/Alicia Keys collab that.
2 Truth About You sounds like what would happen if Jake Paul tried to spin the beef between him and his ex-girlfriend beef based entirely on the 8 lines referencing it on It's Everyday Bro into a song (and an early apology for reminding you guys It's Everyday Bro was a thing).
3 Why does Mark admitting to having Gabby Barrett as best of the week over Tems sound like what would happen if i tried to explain why i like Simple by Florida Georgia Line?

[gikem]

I think Groovy meant 2 all-caps WOTWs this season, not in a row (I think that BoyWithUke song was the other unless I somehow missed something).

[Groovy]

No, I actually meant next week with Progress charting, Mark hates these right wing songs and I saw the lyrics and they are trash so it'll be fun if he goes back to back with the all caps.

[jasper0102]

^ I get the feeling that Mark is too sick of these right wing songs charting that he will think it’d be worth it to give more attention and another all-caps WOTW to another one of them. Though if the song is bad enough to separate itself from Tom MacDonald and Am I The Only One (i’m too scared to actually listen to the song so I don’t know how bad it is) then maybe.

Simple is an absolute bop ngl.

I mean, Adele and Taylor Swift are “autumn icons” in my book. I hope they use some sort of leverage so we can see other artists release in the fall.

[nathanalbright]

There's nothing like the sort of false hope we get here when it comes to releases.

It’s not like I expect them to release anyway. Just wishful thinking.

the sots chart looks more like the ye chart than the ye chart

[phieaglesfan712]

I don't expect Adele to drop an album until at least 2026, and probably going to be closer to the end of the decade. Adele seems to release albums only every 4-6 years.

I'm almost certain, though, that Taylor Swift will drop another album by the end of the year. After all, Billie Eilish probably gave the biggest clue with her songs 'TV' and 'The 30th'. Keep in mind both September 30th and December 30th fall on a Friday this year.

Also, Rockgolf hinted that the charts are going to get busy in late September/early October in his latest YE prediction, which has Stay's last week as October 8 and Big Energy falling off the Top 50 the following week, before its 52nd week: pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/208259/2022-billboard-hot-year-predictions?page=24&scrollTo=8230444

I think Taylor is going to drop at TV album on September 30th (this will knock Stay off the charts), and there will be another major album the following week (which will knock off Big Energy).

[Darkest Hour]

Didn't know Rockgolf is an insider. Interesting.

Yeah, totally...and Kesha's album bomb will push Heat Waves out of the top 25 on 11/31/22.

I don’t think he is, but his prediction of Big Energy leaving the charts before Week 52 was a surprising one. Barring a major album release, I see virtually no way BE leaves the Top 50 before 10/29. Then again, most of us didn’t think G4u wouldn’t leave before Week 52, then Future and Bad Bunny spoiled that. It’s very possible things heat up in late September/early October the way it back in late April/early May and BE misses 52 weeks like G4u.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

I didn't know Stay is that low on the streaming chart (#44), both Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears had more streams last week.
