Hopefully this will be Heat Waves' last (or nearly last) week in the top 10. Even if it beats Blinding Lights for most weeks on the chart, it's coming nowhere close to its record # of weeks in the top 10 or its overall chart points, so BL's rank as the top hit of all time should be safe for the time being.

CITW peaked at #5 on AC and #32 on Pop Yes but it is kind of messy, Double A-side added with many stations pulled playing it, like the single went off sale in many places. I am not following this sentence, particularly the "off sale" part. Regardless, none of that changes that "CITW 1997" didn't have nearly as good of airplay as "RUTH" is currently getting. In terms of an OLD song that got both, say, top 10 airplay and sales/streams, I'd think the last one was "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1992 but could be wrong. Around that same time "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" did so as well, but that was a new live version that was also a duet with a new artist so I don't think it's a good parallel. "Layla" hit the top 10 that same year; not sure of its specific stats. That was also a new live version, so it depends how you count it. (It's interesting 1992 had so many of these happening; Rod Stewart's "Reason to Believe" was a hit right after these as well). |

Blinding lights got super lucky with the pandemic and super artificially inflated radio racking up points. Like Blinding Lights is a good song, but I bet if you replay the simulation 100 times, whatever song is radio number one in March/April 2020 is going to be a top 20 All Time hit because of the fake radio points and because culture stood still in 2020 in some senses so whatever the inoffensive radio hit was would be record breaking in some sense |

(It's interesting 1992 had so many of these happening; Rod Stewart's "Reason to Believe" was a hit right after these as well). "Bohemian Rhapsody" reached #2 on the Hot 100 in 1992, but I can't find the airplay stats for it. I doubt it was a big pop hit because of it's length, at least I don't think it was as big as RUTH is currently on radio. The original recording of "Layla" reached #10 on the Hot 100 while Clapton's acoustic version reached #12 on the Hot 100 and #4 on pop radio. But like you said, updated versions of old tracks shouldn't count. I think in terms of old hits coming back, Kate Bush has everyone beat. Queen sat in the Top 10 for 8 weeks in '92 and ended up reaching #39 on the Hot 100 YE chart for that year, while RUTH is at 9 weeks and still going strong and looks like it'll be ending higher than BR on the YE chart. I think Kate's situation is actually really unique because "Bohemian Rhapsody" was actually a big hit when it was released while RUTH only reached #30, so it's not really an old hit getting airplay, it's an old song that sorta flopped getting a second chance. Totally strange. |

Totally strange. I don't think comparing weeks in the top 10 in 1992 to weeks in the top 10 in 2022 is exactly fair since things are so different now, but that's besides the point anyway; the initial post I responded to said: No one claimed "BR" or any other song was bigger than "RUTH." I mentioned "BR" because it was top 10 in both metrics at that time (For the record, the chart dated April 25, 1992 had "Bohemian Rhapsody" at #9 on the Top 40 Radio Monitor and it of course was top 3 in sales for multiple weeks). Other old songs have been big in a single metric, but that initial post was inquiring about old songs being big in all metrics used for the Hot 100. "BR" fits that bill. |

That's certainly true, Bohemian Rhapsody and Running Up That Hill are songs that definitely show strength in all metrics despite being old ones when they had a resurgence to popularity thanks to their inclusion as soundtrack pop.

Like Elton, the song had a short specific purpose, Yes, the song still sold in some places for years on existing stock, it wasn't repressed for continual sales. Don't forget SITWYLT took over first billing at #1 on the Hot 100 and as the listed radio side being played, Thanks to the new rules of 1996 in regards to points and double A-sides. |

I really don't see a future where The Twist isn't back at #1. they can't have this many 2019+ songs high on it. They will need to cut the modifier more. |

The pandemic probably played some role, but the radio numbers were really only "artificially inflated" for a couple months at most after the pandemic began in March 2020; Billboard adjusted the radio numbers down by May/June iirc, and BL was still #1 on radio by comfortable margins for many weeks after, and it also got very good streaming and sales and was universally liked overall by critics and listeners alike, certainly at much higher levels than Heat Waves, though I'm not completely trashing that song either because I think it's decent as well. |

Never gonna happen. Cut influence in formula, sure, but they will never ever drop sales. Not only is there Tradition, bu there's also the devastating "mental" impact on the whole industry of sales gone. While sales might be near dead, writing them off will have severe industry consequences, |

I'm not sure where you got this information. Considering "CITW 1997" was #1 on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks mostly due to sales, and then even re-entered the Sales chart a year later on the anniversary of Diana's death, I don't know what you mean by stores stopping selling it. You even acknowledge is sold in some places for years. |

You even acknowledge is sold in some places for years. Sigh, I can't make it any clearer. My local chain (8 stores at the time) stopped selling it by December, when their stock ran out, they made zero effort to restock. As I said some places did some places didn't. pf course, stores will continue to sell off inventory they have and probably some dostribs as well. But Elton and the label did not print more as stock waned. |

Lol sales might be /7 (even /7.5 is possible) instead of /6 now, chartdata had that Progress song at 45K units. There's no way it can be so low if sales are divided by 6.
This is close as we can get to a song like that Iris cover which had 0 streams and airplay, it confirmed the sales divisor, as /5 allowed it to slot perfectly into the right position in 2020. Or a new 6ix9ine formula leak.

Yeah, bulk filter and higher divisor seem to be the most obvious possibilities here.

Yeah, bulk filter and higher divisor seem to be the most obvious possibilities here. 45K units includes bulk filtering already, so sales were like 35-40k if it got 0.5-1 million streams based on predictors. Makes /6 impossible, while /7 works. I am surprised BB would increase the divisor so much, on top of removing the 4 copies per person (plus a reset each week) rule, but they REALLY wanted to end sales fraud I guess  |

Glad to see "Running Up That Hill" gaining so quickly on radio. Whilst we get an idea with mediabase updates, it's nice to see it's gaining fast on the billboard stations (looking at it, it looks like it's gaining faster than mediabase suggests?). I really do hope airplay can give it a week at #1 in a few weeks time. Based on kworb's numbers for the tracking week, its Mediabase radio audience increase was just over 15%. That's based on five radio formats. |

Bam Bam also went recurrent, as expected. 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) also fell off, but it should be back soon as it is now getting a radio push as Specialβs second single.

Kinda wanted Bad Habits to survive this week because one more casualty for the BeyoncΓ© album bomb. Oh well, but to the person who wanted Ed to get songs with 56, 57, 58, and 59 weeks on the Hot 100, you got your wish.
