Billboard Hot 100: 08/05/2023

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

I just realized to what song Seven's chorus shared a resemblance to I just couldn't figure out what song it was until now. It turns out the chorus Jade's Every Day of the Week also mentions the days of the week from Monday to Sunday in the same order. Somebody even made a mashup of the former's vocals and rap set to the latter's music at YouTube.

By people you mean older white republicans and right wing reactionaries who purchased the song for owning the libs and “victory” of the culture wars and not for the core musical value itself?

No. And you need to calm down.

[krissirge]

Seems like the only positive of Aldean song hitting the top is seeing all the poptimist music hipsters losing their absolute minds (which were already stressed because of Wallen and Combs) that music not made for them reaches top the charts.

Is this another Disco Demolition Night moment, where there is a shift in whats popular in the charts.

[fridayteenage]

I don't think hipsters would really care about billboard hot 100 hits.

Nobody (else) wants Morgan to keep Mariah's seat warm for her when she comes to take back her record. He can find his own seat somewhere far, far away.

False.

Still a huge difference between #1 and #2 which likely will not be closed, but love the new predictions have an 18 point drop for Jason when compared with the initial predictions.

Jason Aldean's song will go away once the media finds something else to latch onto, once the controversy dips it's gonna collapse. And it certainly won't have radio to keep it up like Last Night. In a couple weeks Tom MacDonald or someone like that will drop another song about liberals being bad and then the right-wingers will buy that song up.

I think it’s time for the left to counter respond to these bullshit songs.

That'd be nice to see but honestly, I don't really want to see artists make heavy-handed hamfisted attempts at political commentary. We don't more songs like I'm Not Racist or You Need to Calm Down. If you really want good songs promoting progressive ideals then go out of the charts because the chance any of those get big during the year they're made, as I said in the other thread, is small and just take solace that in a year from now, I doubt even conservatives will be streaming TTIAST.

[Az Paynter]

Looking at Aldean's Spotify performance, I don't know how it's going to pull anywhere close to where all the predictors are calling it. I added up the totals from drem's 4 Spotify updates so far, and he's only just cleared 4 million, and I'd wager he'll still be under 7 million after the tracking week is over, especially if the streams continue to drop daily like they have so far. I know Apple is a much bigger service than Spotify, but even if the Apple numbers are like double the Spotify numbers that's still only 21 million. Unless you mean to tell me that the (down-weighted) Youtube streaming is so strong that it would damn near double that number?

Apple is not bigger than Spotify (even in the US):



www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-had-44-4m-us-subscribers-in-february-apple-music-had-32-6m/

Spotify 44.4 million paying customers
Apple Music 32.6 million paying customers
Amazon Music 29.3 million paying customers

Keep in mind that's PAID while Spotify has an ad-supported tier unlike AM. Therefore it's probably more like double the number of users.

While TTIAST been doing mediocre on Spotify, it's been #2 on Apple Music throughout the entire tracking week (which is over ~1M per day currently), #1 on Amazon Music, and #1 on YouTube.

YouTube especially is huge where it's headed for over 10 million video streams (post-filtering)

I'd say it'll do a bit over 30M streams for the week.

[Enigma.]

I think Aldean is getting most of his streams from Amazon?

Is K-Pop underperforming or overperforming? 

Down to #12 on US Apple Music and down to #6 on Spotify US with 1.26M streams despite releasing several new versions of the song yesterday (which is the reason for the 100k boost in streams). I guess I have my answer.

[Enigma.]

Listened to K-Pop today (finally) and it's more basic than anyone could even guess. Everyone is on autopilot but "The Weeknd on autopilot" (You love me, you could tell me you love me/Even if you don't mean it/Sex'll make you believe it) is way more disturbing after The Idol than before.

It doesn’t have be artists releasing songs with progressive messages. The best way to counteract these MAGA country songs is to mass stream other songs. I think stans of all pop artists and rapheads need to come together and stream the hell out of whatever songs that deserve to rise to the top.

...well then I'm glad to break it to you that people who are disgusted by this song or who don't listen to Jason Aldean...are still doing that lmao. There's not really any need to do any "counter streaming", just keep listening to what you want to listen to. TTIAST will have it's week at #1 and then it'll we can ignore it until it's time to say what the worst hit of the year is and then years from now people will be just as bewildered that a pro-gun, pro-extrajudicial justice song went viral for a couple of weeks before being quickly forgotten. It's already peaked in streaming.

^When blessings fall>>>

Ice Spice's "Deli" up to #25 on Spotify and the video just dropped!

[HamedM1 💔]

Hoping Deli bags Ice that first real solo hit since In Ha Mood unfortunately stalled out. How High also needs to be a single at some point cause I've seen more people talk about it than Deli already lol.

[After Minutes]

Ice Spice and Baby Keem are the two young gen rappers that broke through in this decade that seem to be getting the most organic support. While there's also Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow, the first one (though he had his breakthrough in 2019 I'm still counting him because most of his success came this decade) is probably more supported by pop listeners than rap fans, and the latter is in a slump and honestly his next album will probably decide whether he will be an actual a-lister in rap or not. I think that rap's biggest problem at the moment is the lack of new artists; in the 2010s there was someone blowing up every half a year, and now the scene is just stagnant with mostly the same names as five years ago, in opposite to pop, where while Taylor is still the biggest artist, the genre is mostly run by singers who blew up in the last 5 years.

[wavey.]

I wouldn't say Harlow is in a slump, he really didn't treat this latest release as a commercial push, more of something for the original fans who didn't like his mainstream sound.

You could be right though!

There are a lot of new rap artists, but I feel like majority of them are now relying more on TikTok, similar apps(not a bad thing!)to build their rise. In return, the music takes a little longer to blow up on mainstream.

This! All the artists that were dominating hip hop in the 2010s are still A-listers of rap. The fact that Drake, J Cole and Kendrick are still the Big 3 of rap for like 10 years now is really a big problem.

It’s doing very good at radio.
It’s getting big updates at pop and decent ones at HAC (I think).
Radio seems to be behind it.

While I agree there's been a lack of new acts in the hip-hop scene (I'd include JID as another rapper who's really been growing in popularity the past couple of years. I would probably include Latto as a young rapper who's breaking through, although obviously not as organic as Ice or Keem.) I will also say it'll take awhile for new acts to really make their mark. Just over the past couple of years we've seen acts like Roddy Ricch, DaBaby, Lil Tjay, Iggy Azalea, and others flame out quickly after their big hits. Hell just go back to the late-00s/early-10s when a bunch of rappers got several hits and also flamed out afterwards. I'd hate for that to happen with either Keem or Spice so we have to be patient. 21 Savage, Lil Uzi, Cardi, Yachty, Travis, and others didn't make big numbers with their first mixtapes either.

There's also still a transitional period at place since acts like Uzi, Kendrick, Drake, Travis, etc., are still getting big streams - at least on debut weeks. We could see people like Lil Baby and Gunna steadily increase over time but that's yet to be seen.

While there's also Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow, the first one (though he had his breakthrough in 2019 I'm still counting him because most of his success came this decade) is probably more supported by pop listeners than rap fans, and the latter is in a slump and honestly his next album will probably decide whether he will be an actual a-lister in rap or not. I think that rap's biggest problem at the moment is the lack of new artists; in the 2010s there was someone blowing up every half a year, and now the scene is just stagnant with mostly the same names as five years ago, in opposite to pop, where while Taylor is still the biggest artist, the genre is mostly run by singers who blew up in the last 5 years.

A few years ago I thought NY drill rappers would take over the next wave of hip-hop when the 2010s stars recede, especially with Pop Smoke's posthumous rise, but besides Ice Spice that whole genre has mostly struggled to cross over. 

There was also rage music coming up from underground a year ago, but even ppl like Yeat and Ken Carson are struggling to cross over.

Hip-Hop is in a weird transitional time right now.
