I wonder why RMNOR lasted longer than TTIAST.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^It ended up being less of a divisive song. I think more people ended up relating to it in the long run.

better song. A lot less divide. Jason’s is basically a dog whistle with a backing track. RMNOR is at least an
Ok song overall.

Yup. I only know right-wingers who like Aldean's song. I know lots of leftists and right wingers (not many liberals though, lol) who like Oliver Anthony's.

I bet RMNOR has some longevity on streaming that TTIAST didn't, but TTIAST will likely go number one on country radio because of Aldean's machine and I doubt Oliver Anthony gets top 10 on Country even, unfortunately, despite being the much better song.

[jayhawk1117]

About WAP reloaded, if it does HALF As good as the OG, it has more points than Vampire did adjusted iirc. If I had to bet, Cardi is taking it.

Between her string of successful features and 2/3 “singles” from the “album” going number one and even the one that didn’t still made top 20 plus Megs return to music vs Olivia’s objectively successful lead up being slightly muted minus her moderately shading Taylor in the past week, it’s looking like a gap lol

[kimberly]

very impressive. excited for her to grab a solo number-one.

[Fanstar1]

Just a little aside that the #1 race this week is closer than some people may realise

People like the song better sonically is my guess.
Seeing the success of Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers, Anthony isn't at that level but the homegrown acoustic sound has mass appeal, as opposed to the ugly 2008 butt-rock that Jason Aldean is STILL making in 2023.

Glad we get a cooler week before the next album bomb from Olivia.

As expected, Paint the Town Red rebounds back to #1 for a second week as it has just not stopped growing over the past 3 weeks. It was up 10.32% but that's not to take away from I Remember Everything which only fell to #2 despite a 13.65% drop, it held up remarkably well. Zach actually held up better than expected as he managed to have one other song stay in the Top 10: Hey Driver which dropped to #7 despite a 26.58% decrease. An interesting development in the Top 10 however was that I KNOW ? rose 20 spots with a 9.77% increase to become the topped streamed song from UTOPIA, we'll have to see if it has enough momentum to stay like that.

Going back to Zach Bryan, he did have a harsh fall but pulled in surprisingly good second week numbers. Of the Top 10 debuts last week, Tourniquet dropped by 31.75%, Spotless by 38.48%, and East Side of Sorrow by 40.77%. In total, his self-titled dropped by 41.08% and with a second week totla of 70M, just barely below what UTOPIA did in its second week

Elswhere there wasn't much notable movements. Wasted Summers was 13.95% from its debut last week while TRUCK BED and In Your Love got sudden boosts of 12.38% and 16.03% respectively. Both the dig single debuts from Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj shockingly underperformed under expectations. Although we did get two Jimmy Buffett hits posthumously re-entering following the annojuncement of his passing.

Notable Gains:
In Your Love - 16%
Wasted Summers - 14%
TRUCK BED - 12%
Paint the Town Red - 10%
I KNOW ? - 10%

The critical consensus agrees with you. 1983, and also 1984, are commonly regarded as among the absolute best years ever for pop music. I think 1965 and 1966 are also among them, as is 1999 and, by now, probably 2009 and 2010.

MTV was at it's peak then which is why alot of people know those songs . i find that era a bit overrated though . mid to late 70's with disco at its peak and early 90's with so much great r&b are probably my favorites.

I know that Rolling Stone years ago referenced 1966 being the top year in pop. There’s been a ton of 1984 think pieces on pop culture being at its apex that year. 2009 and 10 I haven’t heard but being there it was a great time for the pop charts

Doja Cat’s ‘Paint the Town Red’ Becomes Her Second Hot 100 No. 1, First Rap Leader in Over a Year

9/11/2023

By Gary Trust

The single ascends from No. 3 – and becomes the first rap song to top the chart since August 2022.

Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” rises from No. 3 to No. 1 in its fifth week on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. It becomes the rapper/singer’s second career leader, following “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj, in 2020.

Meanwhile, “Paint the Town Red” marks the first rap Hot 100 No. 1 in over a year, ending the longest break for the genre atop the chart since 2001.

The Hot 100’s new No. 1 also brings late legendary songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David back to the summit for the first time since 2004, thanks to its sample of Dionne Warwick’s classic “Walk on By.”

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Sept. 16, 2023) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Sept. 12). For all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Here’s a look at the Hot 100 coronation of “Paint the Town Red” (released on Kemosabe/RCA Records), the 1,155th No. 1 in the chart’s 65-year history.

Streams, sales & airplay: “Paint the Town Red” drew 32.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 14%) and 27.7 million streams (up 10%) and sold 8,000 downloads (up 32%) in the Sept. 1-7 tracking week, according to Luminate, as it wins the Hot 100’s top Streaming and Sales Gainer awards.

The single holds at its No. 2 high on the Streaming Songs chart and pushes 6-5 on Digital Song Sales and 17-15 on Radio Songs, hitting new bests on the latter two rankings.

Doja Cat’s second Hot 100 No. 1: Doja Cat claims her second Hot 100 leader, following “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj, for a week in May 2020. Two weeks ago, “Paint the Town Red,” which has ridden a wave of virality on TikTok, became her seventh top 10.

The song is from Doja Cat’s fourth studio album, Scarlet, due Sept. 22.

First rap No. 1 in over a year: “Paint the Town Red” marks the first rap track (defined as songs that have hit or are eligible to appear on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart) to lead the Hot 100 since Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl,” which ruled upon its debut atop the chart dated Aug. 27, 2022. Doja Cat ends a 54-week break between rap No. 1s (during which three rap titles peaked at No. 2: Lil Durk’s “All My Life,” featuring J. Cole; Drake’s “Search & Rescue”; and Drake and 21 Savage’s “Rich Flex”).

Before the 2022-23 break, the last time the Hot 100 went without a rap champ longer was pre- and post-Y2K: after Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West,” featuring Dru Hill and Kool Moe Dee, reigned for a week in July 1999, rap was absent from the top spot until Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me,” featuring Ricardo “RikRok” Ducent, began a two-week command in February 2001 – ending a drought of 79 weeks, or just over 18 months, and 22 No. 1s without a rap leader.

In the 54 frames between the dominations of “Super Freaky Girl” and “Paint the Town Red,” 15 songs topped the Hot 100, ranging from pop to R&B, country and rock/alternative. Click here for a deeper dive into key factors that contributed to rap’s shutout from No. 1 over the past year-plus until this week.

Country’s command halted: Meanwhile, with the return of rap atop the Hot 100, a streak for country ends, as “Paint the Town Red” stops a record run of four consecutive country No. 1s, over the past six weeks. On the Sept. 9-dated chart, Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, debuted at No. 1, supplanting Anthony Oliver Music’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” after two weeks on top (Aug. 26 and Sept. 2). Before that, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” rebounded for its last two of 16 total weeks at No. 1 (Aug. 12 and 19), directly following Jason Aldean’s one-week reign with “Try That in a Small Town” (Aug. 5).

Five-week climb to No. 1: “Paint the Town Red” reaches No. 1 in its fifth week on the Hot 100, competing what’s become a rare multiple-week ascent to the top in 2023; it debuted at No. 15 on the Aug. 19 chart. The previous five new No. 1s (discounting “Last Night,” which logged a record-tying five distinct stays at No. 1 beginning in March) all debuted at the apex: “I Remember Everything”; “Rich Men North of Richmond”; “Try That in a Small Town”; Jung Kook’s “Seven,” featuring Latto (July 29); and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” (July 15).

Before the launch of “Vampire” (and 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for “Last Night” in May-July), SZA’s “Kill Bill” hit No. 1 in its 19th week on the chart (April 29) – helped in part by a remix released in that survey’s tracking week with Doja Cat (who did not receive billing on SZA’s song, as the remix did not account for a majority of its consumption that week).

Bacharach, David, back at No. 1: “Paint the Town Red” samples Dionne Warwick’s standard “Walk on By,” which hit No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1964. Thanks to its inclusion, legendary late songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David crown the Hot 100 for the first time since Twista’s “Slow Jamz,” featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, ruled for a week in 2004; that song samples Luther Vandross’ cover of Warwick’s fellow 1964 release “A House Is Not a Home.”

Bacharach, who passed away Feb. 8, has now co-written eight Hot 100 No. 1s, which have reigned in five distinct decades – the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, 2000s and ‘20s – and spanned over 55 years.

David, who died in 2012, has now co-penned five Hot 100 No. 1s (over the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘00s and ‘20s), all with Bacharach. Notably, the Songwriters Hall of Fame annually presents – this year to Post Malone – the Hal David Starlight Award, which, according to the organization, is given to “gifted young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry with their original songs.”

Adding to the new Hot 100’s No. 1 star power, Warwick’s voice appears atop the chart for the first time since “That’s What Friends Are For,” as noted above, in 1986. The ballad became her second leader, following her Spinners team-up “Then Came You” for a week in 1974.

‘Paint,’ ‘town’ & ‘red’ reigns: “Paint the Town Red” is the 11th Hot 100 No. 1 with either “paint,” “town” or “red” in its title. Here’s an eclectic recap of the others (with half the No. 1s with “town” in their titles having led since 2015).

“Paint It, Black,” The Rolling Stones, 1966
“Try That in a Small Town,” Jason Aldean, 2023
“Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, 2019
“Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, 2015
“Funkytown,” Lipps, Inc., 1980
“New Kid in Town,” Eagles, 1977
“Poor Side of Town,” Johnny Rivers, 1966
“Downtown,” Petula Clark, 1965
“Red Red Wine,” UB40, 1988
“Roses Are Red (My Love),” Bobby Vinton, 1962

No. 1 on R&B/hip-hop charts: “Paint the Town Red” concurrently tops the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a third week each. It became Doja Cat’s second No. 1 on the former, following “Say So,” and her first on the latter list.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rebounds 5-4 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3; Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” descends 4-5, following 16 weeks at No. 1, the most ever for a non-collaboration; Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” shimmies 9-6 for a new high; and SZA’s “Snooze” repeats at its No. 7 best, as it leads the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart for an eighth week.

The critical consensus agrees with you. 1983, and also 1984, are commonly regarded as among the absolute best years ever for pop music. I think 1965 and 1966 are also among them, as is 1999 and, by now, probably 2009 and 2010.

Interesting. Where are you getting info about critical consensus for best years for music? I'd be curious to read any articles/sources that talk about that.

For one, it comes up a lot in Tom Breihan's The Number Ones column in Stereogum.

Doja Cat is easily the most fascinating mainstream act we have right now. That #1 feels really good, ngl.
