Did we just tap into 2016 all of a sudden? Marshmello, Khalid, David Guetta and Bebe Rexha getting potential hits again on top of literal songs released in that year such as Die For You and Unstoppable…

Numb doesn't make it past October. It's already wavering on radio - its strongest metric by far, since streams aren't stellar - and has mediocre callouts along with it.
Despite that, the song did overpeform considering both artists' track record in recent times

Save Your Tears bigger than Levitating in the US too in the long run? It was always bigger globally but I thought Levitating would at least be bigger in US

[Angel]

Fun piece of trivia I didn't realise until today   

[85la]

^ Soon to join the 14-week club. It's really strange and kind of annoying how so many songs are stuck at that number. I almost want it to stop at 13 weeks or get 15+ weeks just for that reason lol.

Speaking of Harry, I don't know about anyone else but it seems MFASR is being put into power rotation because I've been hearing it waaay more than LNT and AIW on my local pop station the last couple weeks. Kind of strange though given that it's still only #20 on pop while LNT and AIW are #'s 2 and 3, respectively. It does really have an epic sound and I think I might like it the most of the 3 thus far, so I hope it continues to climb!

I'm sure he'll be back under a different name or IP address. We just have to look for similar behaviour.

I’m just an ATRL member and a long time lurker on here that got my account approved. I have noticed that pride4jc1222’s behavior on ATRL matches the behavior of the former phi on here. In any case, phi/pride4jc1222 is ATRL’s problem now.

Pride4jc1222 definitely is Phi. He directly mentioned his ban on there.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Why do people even wanna be on this forum so badly that they make dupes?

[Groovy]

Best of luck to Phi and him getting over his obsession with AIW, he's ATRL's problem now.

Edit: Going through that thread, this forum looks to be just as (maybe more) pro Harry as he's claiming the mods to be. 

[M5AGTS]

I heard that he had a dupe on here. What was it?

[Gary]

That thread ATRL thread suggests he is still off in his own little world and his never-ending quest to build supporters for his fantasy world, now with folks at ATRL

This part of the forum can be read publicly, Assuming he can read, why give him something to read by discussing him? As been said - he is ATRLs problem now

Imagine robbing a bank, getting caught and going to jail, then after escaping from jail, the first thing you do is go back to the same bank you robbed while in disguise and talk shit about yourself to the bank teller as if you think you’ve actually convinced them that you’re someone else. 😂

[Juan Carlos]

Not again. 🤦🏾‍♂️

And I'm just going to reiterate this point as well.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

Welcome to Billboard Pro's Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip.

This week: The Queen's death spurs a flurry of related gains on streaming, The Weeknd returns to top 40 with an unexpected hit and both Tyler Childers and Omar Apollo both ride TikTok virality to -- possibly -- their first crossover hits.

Queen Elizabeth II’s death last week was major news worldwide, prompting millions to go into deep mourning, while many others pointed to the monarch’s checkered cultural legacy. But whether they were grieving her or thumbing their nose at her memory, many headed to streaming services to play related rock songs, resulting in huge bumps for a number of Queenly tracks.

The Smiths’ “The Queen Is Dead,” a commonly cited track on social media the past week, saw one of the biggest gains, jumping from over 6,000 official on-demand U.S. streams on Wednesday (Sept. 7) to over 114,000 on Thursday, the day of the Queen’s passing – a 1,687% jump, according to Luminate. Also spiking day-to-day were the Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen” (under 11,000 to over 81,000, a 650% gain) The Beatles’ “Her Majesty” (under 1,000 to nearly 3,000, 269%) and The Stone Roses’ “Elizabeth My Dear” (under 500 to nearly 1,500, 224%).

Less profound, however, was the impact on streaming consumption for the band Queen, whose catalog only saw a small uptick, from just under 3.3 million on-demand U.S. audio streams on Sept. 7 to just over 3.4 million on Sept. 8 – about a 4% gain. – ANDREW UNTERBERGER

The Weeknd’s New (Old) Radio Hit
A couple months ago, we wrote about how two TikTok-boosted album cuts from The Weeknd’s 2016 LP Starboy were actually generating the most online interest for the superstar this summer – even though he’d released his new Dawn FM full-length just a half-year earlier. While “Die For You” and the Lana Del Rey-assisted “Stargirl Interlude” were both enjoying healthy streaming bumps by July due, “Die For You” has officially crossed over as something of a new hit for the Republic artist, with radio fully catching on to the online activity of the synth-drenched torch song.

“Die For You” is up two spots to No. 31 on this week’s Pop Airplay chart, with a 32% gain in plays in the week ending Sept. 11, according to Luminate. Among all stations that report to Billboard's Radio Songs chart, the track surged by 44% to 3.1 million audience impressions in that span. Meanwhile, its streaming numbers continue to grow — it’s up 7 percent this week, to just shy of 8 million weekly U.S. on-demand streams — and by jumping up 17 spots to No. 52 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, “Die For You” is threatening to overtake its original peak of No. 43, when Starboy was released in 2016.

Dawn FM, which was released in January, did produce a radio hit in lead single “Take My Breath,” which peaked at No. 8 on Pop Airplay and No. 6 on the Hot 100. But right now, The Weeknd’s biggest hit on either chart is a song that’s six years old — a revival even Kate Bush would likely be impressed with. - JASON LIPSHUTZ

Tyler Childers Soundtracks ‘All’ the Ways His Fans Want to Be Loved
Americana artist Tyler Childers is experiencing a new bump in streams after a pitched-up version of his heartfelt song “All Your’n” (from 2019’s Country Squire album on Hickman Holler/RCA) caught fire on TikTok recently. Users, mostly young women, are using the tune to soundtrack clips that start with the caption “you’re so hard to please” in quotation marks. After, the user will share images and videos of simple ways they want to be loved by a romantic partner or friend. Flowers are the most common want from the video makers – along with love notes, movie nights, FaceTime calls, and more.

But not all the posts are so serious. One user, for example, followed the same trend, but shared a photo of herself with a twelve pack of Michelob Ultras. Another jokingly shared photos of designer bags, yachts, mansions and other luxury items. Other posts include hiking and nature videos and romantic couples videos made to “All Your’n.” All this has led up to the track steadily gaining in U.S. on-demand streaming over the past month – most recently hiking 19.9% in official on-demand U.S. streams from the chart week ending Sept. 1 (2.5 million) to the week ending Sept. 8 (3 million), according to Luminate. – KRISTIN ROBINSON

Has Omar Apollo Found His Crossover Single?
Alt-R&B singer-songwriter Omar Apollo has become a critical darling this year thanks to debut album Ivory, which earned raves upon its release on Warner in April. With its powerhouse vocals, funk-adjacent grooves and impressive list of collaborators (The Neptunes, Kali Uchis, Daniel Caesar), Ivory has helped Apollo land late-night TV performances and headline a tour across North America.

Soon, he might have a breakthrough hit, too. “Evergreen,” the swaying soul highlight in Ivory’s back half, has been lifted up on TikTok, thanks to a trend built around the song’s emotional climax in the bridge (“You know you really made me hate myself / Had to stop before I break myself / Shoulda broke it off to date myself / You didn't deserve me… at all, at all, at all”). With users lip-synching to Apollo’s angst, “Evergreen” is up a whopping 356% week-over-week at streaming, with 1.29 million U.S. on-demand streams during the week ending Sept. 8, according to Luminate. Although Ivory debuted at No. 152 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year, Apollo has yet to have a solo song bow on a Billboard chart — that may change if this trend keeps growing. – JL

Q&A: Charlie Cook, VP Country Format at Cumulus, on What’s Trending Up in His World
As we enter the home stretch of 2022, what country radio trend has helped define the year for you?

While the labels have been frustrated with the length of time it takes for a song to get daytime airplay and find its way up the chart, we have found that the longer the better for audience acceptance.

Are there any artists you're keeping an eye on that you think will be in greater rotation in the near future?

Trending Back Then: The MTV Generation Was on the Rise in ‘82, But ‘70s Rockers Still Ruled the Hot 100
Conventional wisdom might have you believe that MTV rendered the dinosaur rockers of the 1970s extinct essentially on impact in Sept. 1981 – but even a year later, the upper stretches of the Hot 100 was still littered with Me Decade survivors. The chart dated Sept. 11, 1982 was led by ‘70s hitmakers Chicago (“Hard to Say I’m Sorry,” their third No. 1) and also included Steve Miller Band (“Abracadabra,” No. 3), Fleetwood Mac (“Hold Me,” No. 7), Crosby, Stills & Nash (“Wasted on the Way,” No. 9) and even Boomer Rock GOAT Paul McCartney (“Take It Away,” No. 10) in the top 10. Even the newer acts in that week’s top tier 40 years ago – Survivor, Air Supply, two John Cougar appearances – hardly spoke to the rise of the visually minded new wave and megapop artists breaking out contemporaneously on the MTV airwaves.

Those artists were there, though. They were a little lower in the rankings, but slowly rising: including Men at Work (“Who Can It Be Now,” No. 15), Billy Idol (“Hot in the City,” No. 23), Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (“Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah),” No. 29) and possibly the most paradigmatic artist of the period, A Flock of Seagulls (“I Ran (So Far Way),” No. 30). – AU
