Billboard Hot 100: 09/09/2023

[Groovy]

Kacey getting a number 1 would be great, too bad none of this came during Same Trail Different Park or Golden Hour but I'll take it.

[eagle27]

Basically the past 8 months the number one was held by 2 massive hits with multiple weeks over 300 points and a few 1 weekers sprinkled in, with literally all of them being debuts/remixes/sales based. Normal big hits that spend multiple weeks in the top 5 or even at #2, such as Creepin, Fast Car, and Cruel Summer (Kill Bill and Die For You would have without remixes), generally can’t get to number one without either a push or a gap between massive hits, which is what we are in now that Last Night has weakened. So until we get the next megahit stable at 250-300 points, we could be seeing a revolving door #1 for a bit.

i mean, did those albums have white men as the lead?

country women are lucky to get top 40s these days without a white man collab.

[neel]

Won’t be surprised if it falls below 200 for #1. Wasn’t that while ago when the average points for #1 was 350…

I still think Cruel Summer has little to no chance without a push and the Twitter accounts are just adding her to ignite impressions. It's close enough, sure, but the other contenders are actually bringing their A Game on promo or actually growing significantly on most metrics like Doja.

Cruel Summer joining its fellow Lover singles on being blocked at #1 by country music :(

if it peaks #3 it won't have been blocked.
and the other lover singles were not blocked by a country song.

Definitely needs another anthem that’ll define the mid 2020’s. Uptown Funk 2.0

Kanye, Nicki, and Drake dropping star studded albums tomorrow and pushing the super tight 1-6 all in to the 20s would be hilarious

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but the Kacey song ranks in the lower ranks of the album for me. Her voice is always clear and controlled, but also always very boring.

2: If you're going to bring up politics, you do realize Doja Cat is definitely the most right-wing artist of the six songs competing for the top? She has her alt-right legacy (where she still hung out in those chat rooms after Say So blew up), and of the other artists Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves are both very public Democrats, Zach Bryan and Luke Combs are likely left of center/Democrats given their few public statements that are political, and Morgan Wallen and Oliver Anthony both have stated left-wing and right-wing positions.

More like apples to Apple products.

Also love that Taylor has for created the idea re-releasing as if that hasn't happened for almost every big artist the last 70 years. Hell, even movies and video games do this.

I'm sure Taylor got the idea from playing Pokémon SoulSilver and HeartGold

It's more interesting when country music may lead on the three components of Hot 100 with three different songs:

Sales: Rich Men North of Richmond
Radio: Fast Car (currently at #2)
Streaming: I Remember Everything

When I said this, I expected Zach Bryan to have a mini album bomb -- but never would I have imagined he'd be gunning for #1 and aiming for all songs to debut in the Top 50!! So glad to see the success he's having!

Also, really hoping he takes the top spot! Luke has another chance next week, whereas Zach wont. Plus Zach>Luke (they're both great tho).

It might actually go #1 on country airplay after crashing and burning in May thanks to the revitalization of the song, it’s probably going to stick around in the 20-40 range on the Hot 100 for a while.

Zach deserves and the song with Kacey is phenomenal and I hope he gets both number 1 album and Hot 100 number 1 single new entry .. I want to say that’s a probably a county artist first ?

But we need to let Luke go unfortunately. Nicki , Doja and others will grab it next week . I won’t say Drake because I don’t think he will drop , only tease

Zach Bryan is incredible.

So i guess the key we have all been missing is to have one of the longest lasting songs in hot 100 history and then have it play out long enough to grow your audience and then announce an album and watch it explode while exceeding expectations.

[kcdawg13]

Something In The Orange is now a cover staple, every bar that hosts music that I've gone to this summer has had someone covering Something In The Orange. Every person with an acoustic guitar is now adding it to their list of songs to cover, along with Wonderwall and the usuals. No other hit from this year is getting that kind of love, not even Last Night.
