When will Fast car overtake Last Night?

Last Night is on track to lose nearly 20 points for the 8/12 chart as it has dropped about 10 points on both streaming and radio respectively, down to 275 according to TOTC's early predictions.
Fast Car on track to gain slightly, to nearly 255.

So with their current trajectories, Fast Car will be very close on 8/19 and possibly ahead on 8/26.

Based on that, it seems like his window for a #1 will be around the 9/2-9/16 weeks (he'll probably hit his peak on radio by then, i don't see his streaming dropping anytime soon). And while i hope he gets there, idrk if he can, especially considering his competition.

People don't just hate Morgan because he is racist, they do not like his music and still wish to see Last Night dethroned

I’m pretty sure if Morgan wasn’t racist he would be 10x more popular and critically acclaimed than he is right now.

[Az Paynter]

And I bet to Pulse he'd still be just as mediocre.

OMG not the Travis and Morgan discussion...
That said, Morgan has had his time and I'm hoping Travis pulls through.

Both are problematic but this is a charts situation not a personal congeniality prize.

[Enigma.]

Meltdown under 2M on Spotify already, definitely not debuting at #1 then. Shame - Last Night needs to go.

While I'm sure it doesn't help it's chances, you never know what it's doing over on Apple Music. That could help make up the difference with the losses on Spotify. Also aren't Sundays the worst day of the entire week for numbers on Spotify, it'll probably be stable or even gain tomorrow.

Just a reminder that liking a song from artist is not the same as supporting the artist's behavior and beliefs.

Liking a song from Travis Scott doesn't suddenly mean you think he isn't in the wrong for Astroworld and liking a Morgan Wallen song doesn't make you a fellow racist. Please keep that in mind people when making your points and claiming people are hypocritical, keep it bout the music first and foremost.

I appreciate you making this point. But people have been consistently calling Morgan racist, and commenting negatively about those who have supported him. This has occurred week after week since Last Night was in the running for #1. Many of those same people have not had any trouble voicing support for Travis. So, I think that's what some of us mean with hypocritical behavior.

Though, at the end of the day you are right.

At least we can all agree and get behind the fact that we're happy Jason Aldean is tumbling down streaming, at #75 on Spotify and almost out of the Top 40 on AM.

So, I think that's what some of us mean with hypocritical behavior.

I did mention this in a previous post here but being labeled a racist is a pretty big red flag to be dealt and one that is incredibly hard to shake off (im one of those kinds of people since im a poc). Meanwhile in Travis's case there is plausible deniability in regards to his degree of involvement in the tragedy (this isn't a point of defense because I think he is guilty af and should be held accountable).  One of those is much more clear cut than the other situation but that also is up to opinion.

All of that is up to debate per person ofc depending on your views on the matters at hand and obviously the more direct discussion of race leads to more heated conversations. At the end of the day, I'd like to believe users that are supporting Travis are doing so mostly cause of the quality of the songs and not solely off who they are as people. Most people here I frequently talk with definitely at least prefer Meltdown to Last Night.

This is definitely a general remark to everyone to judge music fairly and to take into account that certain topics like these naturally lead to divisive and polarizing opinion. Nothing is wrong with that but if any of these remarks are becoming personal or being used as weaponized to label and/or criticize other users then that is a problem. 

In a nutshell, if there is a serious problem feel free to bring it to the attention of the mods so that we can break the ice on these situations. I doubt anyone here is outright posting with malicious intent but in the heat of the moment we cah say things that definitely may come off as that way. Most of us are old enough to should know how to reasonably resolve these situations and diffuse them if they go south regardless but still.

I long for the simpler times— the holidays— when Pulse users gather around and celebrate the annual tradition of complaining about Christmas songs clogging up the charts.

Very curious to see how high ‘august’ will make it tomorrow.

Despite being more of an end of August song, the first of the month was its highest peak last year:

Most artists that were huge during that tiny blip in time (2017-2020) sorta fizzled out, this includes big hitmakers like Halsey and Khalid during that time. So I think it's less about Post himself being unpopular and more that trends had shifted pretty significantly between 2019 and 2022.

Were Khalid and Halsey ever huge though? Halsey's most successful album is certified at 2x platinum and she's had only 3 of her songs hit the top 10.

[Choco]

Khalid had a big string of hits at one point culminating with the huge "Talk".

Halsey had a very big era with her second album and then "Without Me".

I wouldn't say they were huge yet but they were both building a great career. Halsey I think could theoretically rebound - Manic did fine and she can chalk up her next album's numbers in it being an experimental project. But her last pop single struggled... Khalid is very much over chartwise tho.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Interestingly, they collaborated on Eastside just before they each managed their biggest hit on the Hot 100 on their own.
