given how BTS did better than expected this week on a sales driven hit, I think Nicki might actually get the number one. wild for her to get her first real number one this late into her career
I mean it's a worse version of Anaconda which deserved the number one and I'd be shocked if this has one hundredth of the legacy of that hit... but still very impressive to be able to do the retread 10 years later and be successful with it

Help in the fight, that seems a little ridiculous. Super Gremlin might be one of my least favorite hits of the 20s, but portraying this as a fight between Rod Wave and Kodak is absurd. I doubt Rod Wave nor Kodak cares about the result of this nonexistent "fight" I'm pretty sure it was a figure of speech... Of course not an actual fight |

At this point, As It Was feels like it should be the longest running #1 hit of the decade. It feels bigger than The Box. Hopefully next week it gets back to the top for an eleventh week.

I don't know what circles you hang around but The Box was absolutely massive at it's peak, like culturally relevant at every turn. At every sporting event, on radio, in every video, you couldn't escape it. As It Was is a big hit no doubt, but it's cultural impact doesn't match The Box. |

I wish Nicki had given Rick James a feature credit on Super Freaky Girl. How insane to think that both Rick James and Kate Bush would have gotten their first top ten hits in 2022? as an artist he never went top 10 but as a writer and producer he reached #2 with Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy and In My House by The Mary Jane Girls which reached #7. also as a writer he went #8 with this song sampled by Hammer U Can't Touch This. Yeah, I just meant specifically as an artist. He could create top ten hits for others but his own songs never quite made it. And he had some CLASSICS. |

Soul/Funk/R&B etc did not perform quite as well on the Hot 100, this song peaked at #3 on the Soul chart but only 16 pop |

Yeah, I really donโt blame a Doja or a Kim Petras who started with Dr. Luke when he was the only person willing to take a chance on them. What other top 40 hits has he gotten in the past few years? I can only think of similar โnobodiesโ who signed with him early (ie Saweetie, Latto). Is Nicki the first previously big act to have a song with him since everything came out? Just looking over his wikipedia page, these are the top 40 hits since 2016 he's gotten: #1. Say So #3. Kiss Me More #3. Big Energy #8. Need To Know #11. You Right #14. Best Friend dang, these are some well produced songs. That's unfortunate |

Honestly, it sounds like it belongs on current music, I hear it on the radio between Doja Cat, Harry Styles, Lizzo, it doesn't feel out of place, it's truly a smash of this year, not just a quick viral song. so far, we are in an 80s inspired decade, where the biggest pop songs (Blinding Lights, As It Was, Kiss Me More, Don't Start Now, Save Your Tears, Adore You, Stay, Bad Habits, Levitating, About Damn Time) here I come with my expertise. Some of those do sound 80's, but there is a new style prevailing, I'd say it's best described as "dream pop". There's a bit of late 80's influence going on, but even moreso, many of the new songs have 70's influence |

How was The Box culturally impactful? I worked with a bunch of teenagers at the time, they praised it. I thought it was crap, but like usual I actually heard it a few times & ended up liking it too |

Maybe As It Was a little bit, but that's more bedroom pop and synthpop. |

Nicki might just pull off a legitimate #1 debut.
Considering the WorldWide daily growth of โSuper Freaky Girlโ Nicki Minaj might have her first genuine hit single in years. Itโs been a while since sheโs had any song hit in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, etc. sheโs regaining the audience from her prime years.

But when the Dazz Band, Kool & The Gang, MJ, Prince, and others were hitting the top ten it's crazy that not a single one of Rick's songs could do it. Especially when he was pumping out big top ten hits for Eddie Murphy and the Mary Jane Girls in 1985 but couldn't get any higher than #50 himself that year. |

As someone living outside the US... it's no contest for me. The Box was a non entity here.

I love The Box. As It Was was my clear favorite when it came out, but something about The Box made it enjoyable to listen. Must be because of the lockdown while I was driving around.

I must admit I wouldn't have heard anything about the Box if it weren't for here, though I did like that eee rrr sound effect as much as anyone else who enjoyed it.

Ayt so listned to Traumazine twice and yeah. Megan's just so effortlessly charismatic and funny, the production's stronger than SFTH and there's not as many straightforward pop songs like on Good News. Just banger after banger after banger.
I understand it was her big hit and it was added to boost her numbers but wish Sweetest Pie wasn't on this because it sounds so out of place next to all the hardcore bars on the album

As a gen z living in Europe I did hear The Box a few times, but only on parties where my peers who were already into American rap had the aux. Rockstar was definitely the bigger and more impactful Roddy Ricch hit worldwide.
With that being said obviously both songs are remembered and impactful either way, but AIW beats them easily. It feels like the biggest hit of the decade so far, behind Blinding Lights. AIW established Harry as the single biggest artist worldwide atm. It not getting the YE #1 will be a crime.

Butter made more of an impact. |

Yeah, I just meant specifically as an artist. He could create top ten hits for others but his own songs never quite made it. And he had some CLASSICS. The Hot 100 in the 80s was a pure pop chart. The airplay component then may have been "pure pop" in that it only measured 'mainstream' play, but the sales chart and the Hot 100 in general was of course inclusive to any music that sold well. Plenty of R&B/funk/hip-hop/etc songs charted on the Hot 100 and even charted fairly high. Even Top 40 radio made room for songs like "I Feel For You" (#3 peak) and "In My House" (#7 peak). |
