well megan has a song in the apple top 100 so that's a little progress.

[Enigma.]

1.5 million for Nicki on Spotify. Guess that's fairly good?

[Envoirment]

Happy to see Megan's songs climbing into the top 100 on Apple Music. Now up to 6 songs in the top 100 with all of the others climbing.

(+7) 50. Megan Thee Stallion - Ungrateful (feat. Key Glock)
(+6) 65. Megan Thee Stallion - NDA
(+10) 67. Megan Thee Stallion - Her
(+18) 66. Megan Thee Stallion - Budget (feat. Latto)
(+14) 83. Megan Thee Stallion - Not Nice
(new) 89. Megan Thee Stallion - Who Me (feat. Pooh Shiesty)

If it wasn't for Rod Wave she would likely have had her entire album in the top 100. It's a solid album with lots of single potential for Urban/Rhythmic radio - so hopefully they push multiple singles and the album has legs.

Not Drake there like 5/6 times🔥🔥🔥

[rainygirl]

Thanks Thegreardivine!! Seeing it in this format cements Drake’s status as a mega star

[dragonslair]

So that really shows that 2018 is when streaming profoundly changed the shot 100 forever.

It's not there but Akon, T-Pain, Ashanti, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Beyoncè all had multiple years of scoring 3+ top 10 hits and with Beyoncè, that also coincided with Destiny Child's hits. It's so easy to forget how dominant these acts were in their prime.

Also, just seeing at the chokehold black artists have had on the top 10 made me smile lol.

That had more to do with Drake's output that year than anything else. If he didn't drop Scorpion that year, he'd have scored only 6 top 10 hits. If he didn't drop CLB in 2021, he'd have only scored 3 top 10 hits that year. Artists have been scoring 5-7 top 10 hits per year dating back to the 80s lol. It just depends on how many singles you're willing to release in any respective year and if you're able to get them to stick with your listeners.

Which proves my point no? Plus listing only the top act only really shows part of the story from 2018 on

every week here on Pulse one of the first posts is always who is going to have an album bomb and how big is it going to be.  It doesn't matter these songs won't mostly stick around,  it's about getting them to chart.

We talk about album bombs because streaming is the way most people consume their music now and album bombs offer a way to see which songs people are interested in the most in a release week. That's like tracking multiple singles per artist in a week, of course people who usually only get to track one single per artist would be interested in that.

I find it interesting that everyone seems to forget that 1-week top 10 hits have been a thing since the beginning of the Hot 100 almost 70 years ago and aren't some new thing that just suddenly began with the streaming era.

If anything, being able to get multiple songs to debut in the top 10 should be something that's commended, seeing as it demands that multiple songs be consumed considerably across an entire week. Some people can't get a single to do that but we should talk down on people who can get multiple songs to do that simultaneously?

Kinda sticks out a bit compared to the other artists listed. I really thought he was going to be a big thing (at least for a few years/album cycles), but obviously it didn't play out that way.

First, I know full well how charts work and how they have worked. Thanks,

Secondly, there's a huge difference between a song that spent one week in the top ten after climbing the charts for a few weeks, versus a song that debuts top ten, or is thrust top ten, simply because an entire album is streamed,

as I said, this was not a critique of the current Hot 100, nor an opinion. It was a statement on how it has profoundly changed, and it has since 2018.

Yeah, and then there are several with 4: Drake, Kendrick, Bad Bunny, and Harry Styles. Drake will probably log his 5th this week with "Staying Alive".

I mostly agree with you except you aren’t including how the fact that how charts are measured and recorded and tabulated has changed to allow Billboard to record what they couldn’t record before, which is how people are actually listening to music. Album bombs are still a relatively new thing because they couldn’t be measured before. That isn’t to take away from those who do them now because it’s not every act who has one can score multiple Top 10s in a week (see Beyoncé this week), but it does take away from the cases that would have happened had it been possible to record them pre-album bomb era (see Adele, 90s teen pop era, etc).

Oh, agreed. It just gets tiring seeing people only talk about the streaming era negatively in comparison to other eras.

We've had songs from 30-40 years ago get a resurgence with new audiences thanks to streaming. Acts like the Beatles, Michael Jackson, etc are still averaging 1M+ album units per year thanks to streaming. It isn't all bad.

My statement really wasn't about album bombs though.  I mean sure they are a good example to use to illustrate some aspects, but I didn't really want it to become the focus.

its not only about what charts, it has changed how stuff is marketed and even made by sriste.  It's fueled 2nd wind for songs, and most importantly it's changed how we look at what a "hit" is.  While the change didn't happen suddenly and was made up of many small changes over the years, it came to full life in about 3018 and has forever changed music and how we view and chart it,

Yeah. He really burned red hot for that one year and quickly fizzled out.

That post wasn't necessarily about you. That's just the general sentiment whenever the streaming era gets discussed. It gets compared to past eras and gets painted as the era that ruined everything/made chart achievements super easy to get. That's been happening on here long before you joined this site.

Good spotify debut for Nicki. Wonder how she'll hold up throughout the week
