Billboard Hot 100: 08/05/2023

Vampire could very easily still net 13 weeks in the top ten. Even if she has a meh-ish sophomore era, there are *plenty* of people who did just fine after exactly that situation. For instance, imagine writing Mariah off after 'Emotions' only had one #1 hit to the debut's four. You might have felt justified in that thought then, but you would look pretty stupid a few years later.

^I think Vampire should get a second wind once Guts is released and should be able to return to the top 10 of the Hot 100 if it exits it before then.

[85la]

A second wind after the album comes out is very possible, and I'm hoping it happens, but I must say, the very fact that it could leave the top 10 just a few weeks after debuting at #1 (with that #1 debut not being extremely strong mind you) is just not a very encouraging sign. For someone who had one of the most impressive debuts of all time (of any gender), with her two biggest hits spending multiple weeks at #1 or in the top 2, it's pretty hard to argue that this isn't an underperformance up to this point. Notice how I'm saying up to this point though. It's very possible things could turn around after the second single and once the album is released, but that will be more difficult at this point, as lead singles do provide a very good indicator (though not a definite indicator) of how an era will go, and so far, unfortunately it's looking like she'll have a hard time measuring up to her debut's performance.

Vampire is basically like LWYMMD. Number one debut after a massive era, but falls after the initial hype is gone and it simply didn’t stick enough. Reputation ‘underperformed’ compared to 1989, one of the biggest eras ever, but still performed really well, which is how I think Guts will do compared to Sour.

So Vampire is a smash and Guts will be a smash. Great comparison tbh

I agree, it underperformed (it's still a hit, not a FLOP), but I don't think it's bad or serious as some think, maybe people should just stop comparing this song or future singles to DL and G4U, because you can't always have those kind of hits.
I really like vampire, it's one of my favorite 2023 songs so far, but I can understand why it's not a huge hit - DL had a story behind it and interesting lyrics, G4U was one of the catchiest songs that year and really popular on TikTok. Vampire is kinda there, just like deja vu was imo, great songs, but nothing groundbreaking or interesting about them. For example, deja vu even dropped out of the top 20 in its 7th week, despite being the first single after drivers license, but when she dropped G4U and Sour, the song returned to the top 10 and spent 14 weeks there.

My point, people jump to conclusions too quickly, and think something's guaranteed when you have hype around. Not comparing Olivia to them, but look at Drake and Taylor. They are the biggest artists of our generation - Taylor literally waited 7,5 years to have a song with 10+ weeks in the top 10 (not counting IDWLF) and Drake is still waiting for a song with multiple weeks at #1 since In My Feelings.
Olivia will be fine, she just needs the right song.

[85la]

^ I agree that Deja Vu underperforming (before the album's release) as the second single and then G4U smashing harder as the third single is reason to believe she could bounce back.

Expect “LWYMMD” debuted with 1300+ points, and had an iconic music video. Olivia making a Taylor stereotype song with lines like “famefucker” in the chorus and running thru LA in the video is…iconic?

I think the problem with “Vampire” is that it’s a fun boring Taylor knockoff, and radio might catch up to it but it being all that might impact its longevity. Won’t be surprised when “Guts” drops, and a better single choice gets released and this drops like a rock after album impact week.

Total Streams for Dial Drunk: 8,583,655 (would be #6 with combined streams)

Well this was a much busier week than anticipated, and for once there's stories outside the Top 10.

Now holding the #1 spot for a second week in a row is fukumean which was stable throughout the week, only dropping 0.04% in streams. But the bigger story comes with the #2 song and really the whole week in general. As coinciding with its movie being a global smash hit and a cultural phenomenon, the Barbie album smashed harder than I think anyone expected. Despite only charting 6 songs from the album, 3 of them made the Top 10 and reached new peaks in the process. Barbie World and Dance the Night doubled their streams from last week, soaring up 99.95% and 117.31% respectively. And thanks to a prominent feature in the film that I won't spoil: What Was I Made For? rose from its debut last week to #6, climbing by 55.69%. And that's before we get into the top debut of the week: the lead single for UTOPIA, the star studded K-POP at #4. We did have big losers in the Top 10, with vampire sliding to #5 with a 10.64% loss and Seven dropping from it's debut to #8 although it only lost 24.56%

But the Barbie album wasn't the only project to smash this week as NewJeans' second EP manage to get all 6 tracks to chart, boosting up their s/t track up by 48.67% and getting a modest gian Super Shy of 24.35%. And after a full week of tracking, the Post Malone remix for Dial Drunk rocketed up 97.31%. We also got Top debuts from Ice Spice, Chris Stapleton's comeback single White Horse, 3 tracks from Barbie including Speed Drive which is Charli's biggest crossover song in years and the hilarious I'm Just Ken. Oh and some gross pro-gun song also debuted at #14 but nevermind that shit, let's all just be in awe of Barbie and NewJeans.

The only losers I'll highlight are I Can See You falling out of the Top 10 as it dropped by 25.78% in streams - an expected fall for the vault song, the original Dial Drunk collapsing by 29.17%, and Overdrive which did drop by 40.94% but should rebound a bit with Post's new album.

Notable Gains:
Dance the Night - 117%
Barbie World - 100%
Dial Drunk Remix - 97%
What Was I Made For? - 56%
New Jeans - 49%
Super Shy - 24%
From the Start - 20%
Tennessee Orange - 17%
Need a Favor - 15%
Princess Diana - 14%
Religiously - 13%

Radio Reacts to Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ As It Climbs the Country Airplay Chart
"Historically, country has waded into controversy, and it will again," says consultant Joel Raab.


BY JIM ASKER


SSince CMT pulled the video for Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” after three days in rotation, as reported by Billboard July 18, a firestorm of publicity about the clip’s intent and political messaging has followed.

Sales and streaming surges catapulted the single to No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, dated July 29. The song, released in May, scored the biggest sales week for a country song in more than 10 years, up 27,625% to 228,000 sold July 14-20, according to Luminate. It also vaulted by 547% to 11.6 million U.S. streams.


How is that translating to country radio?

On the Aug. 5 dated Country Airplay chart, the song, on Macon/Broken Bow, sports a 21% gain to 7.9 million impressions July 21-27, as it holds at No. 25.


Says consultant Joel Raab, who advises programmers in both blue and red states, “Stations that I work with are largely sticking with the song. Listeners are asking for it, and there are very few objections to playing it. One station I work with did pull it for a short time because a policeman had been killed in their town. Another station was doing a country fair and one listener hadn’t even heard the song, but said he’d stop listening if his station didn’t play it.

“Much of the reaction is similar to what happened when Morgan Wallen was banned from radio [in 2021],” Raab continues. “Fans are afraid Jason will be banned, too. That’s not going to happen, though I do applaud him for editing his video.”

Raab further muses, “This song reminds me of when Merle Haggard sang ‘The Fightin’ Side of Me,’ which appealed to the pro-Vietnam War, conservative-leaning part of the country, and contains the line, ‘If you don’t love it, leave it.’ It was a huge hit at the time. Historically, country has waded into controversy, and it will again, particularly if it’s profitable.”

High Five
Meanwhile, Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” tops Country Airplay for a fifth total and consecutive week (33.8 million, down 3%).

The remake of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 Hot 100 top 10 extends its record for the longest Country Airplay reign among covers of pop hits.

The update also becomes Combs’ fifth of 16 Country Airplay No. 1s to rule for five weeks or longer. He logged his longest command with “Beautiful Crazy,” which dominated for seven frames beginning in March 2019.

I'm sorry but some of you are insane. How is Vampire a flop? Wtf????

It was expected to be like 10 weeks at number 1. Those were huge expectations she had but she failed to do so, so Vampire flopped. It's not even a bad song, but it is doing worse than it should.

You need to seriously lower your expectations because NOBODY thought it was guaranteed to have 10 weeks at #1. Is every song that doesn't hit 10 weeks at #1 a huge flop? I would think anything that is a top 40 hit with decent longevity is considered a hit, but I guess some people just have completely unrealistic and insane expectations for every song. Vampire would be way higher if radio was faster catching up to it's pretty solid streams each week.

it's not a big failure or even a failure, are you okay?

Idk, debuting at #1 then being at #9 in week 4 after having all your other Top 5 hits run for at least 13 wks inside Top 10 says something.

Considering it's #5 on streaming as of last week I'd say it's doing great! It's radio that needs to catch up and that's what's holding her up on the Hot 100. Radio is the reason a majority of these songs in the top 10 are there.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

I have to say: I find it funny that for all the people who say the Weeknd should go away and that's he's overexposed and no one is listening to his newer material, Popular is currently a big hit around the world.

We will all say an act should go away and then after a year or even after a couple of months, we'll be begging for them to come back. Just appreciate that for the most part Abel's been consistent quality wise and don't get so bogged down by the numbers of it all.

I get your point but it lacks the context of why LWYMMD tanked after a few weeks: horrible feedback from general audiences. Vampire is never going to be as polarizing.

Yeah Summer 2018 was just awful for pop music. Really hope rap doesn't ever dominate pop music again the way it did back in 2018.

What’s the true tea. Why you hate rap so much?

Who said I hate rap music?? I just don’t like the SoundCloud mumble/emo rap s-it that was dominating the majority of Hip-Hop between 2017-18. Yeah some of it was good (Uzi for one), but a large amount wasn’t and was giving careers to total pieces of s-it (XXXtentacion was literally turned into a matyr that summer and some were comparing him to the level of Tupac and Biggie) . Glad most of those that had careers during that time are irrelevant.

[Fears in the Fire]

I wasn’t a huge fan of it at the time but I miss the music of summer 2018, maybe the second best after 2019

[neel]

Past 2 and still no new Hot 100. I have a feeling someone at Billboard is delaying the Hot 100 on purpose so they can't deal with Jason....

[Verisimilitude]

Barbie tracks dominated TikTok last week, as well as Ice Spice & Ryan Gosling:

Must be because of the sales of Seven and/or Aldean.
