Billboard Hot 100: 09/07/2024

I might be wrong on that way. I forgot that she had Stupid Love (#5 peak) a few years ago and Shallow (#1) just two years before. That being said, I don't think Gaga's name is adding many streams to the song.

[theycallmedualian]

Is “a bar song” the first song ever to still maintain at 300+ points ten weeks or so after its debut & immediate success, in the streaming era? I don’t think even the biggest global & domestic hits like aiw/stay/flowers have this level of popularity domestically. Even Last Night couldn’t do that iirc

Anyhow, the unusual amount of glazing here over a new song debuting at 230 points or so, is a sight behold lol. Drake & T Swift has 10th or 11th album tracks doing more than that, for reference lol.

I’m pretty sure it’s the first to maintain over 300 points for that long of a period since The Box, which around that time was a pretty normal amount of points being amassed for the #1 spot (Old Town Road was pushing around 600 points weekly the year prior).

It just goes to show how weak and uneventful the Hot 100 chart was from late 2020 all the way until the chaos of Q2 2024.

chart points are a bit arbitrary to say this # of streams is the same as this # of radio impressions is the same as this # of sales.

Why are people so pressed about Gaga that they need to discredit her with every chance they get?

So happy for Lady Gaga's success with Die with a Smile! Glad for Bruno Mars' comeback too. The #3 debut definitely exceeded my expectations. The song had a decent start on radio and I'd love to see this become a top 10 on Pop. Following the Artpop era, Pop radio hasn't exactly been the kindest towards Gaga. They didn't really embrace Shallow (#19), despite its undeniable popularity with the general public and both Rain on Me and Bloody Mary barely scraped the top 10 (#10). I'd like to see a reversal of that trend. She was one of that format's most prominent darlings pre-Artpop after all, it'd be great to see her produce some more smashes there.

As for kworb's radio updates, it seems like the glitch essentially made the list reflect the AC chart more or less. Hope it gets fixed soon!

Amazingly, there still isn’t any artist that has had at least 6 consecutive #1s on chr since her and Katy both did it around 09-11. It would have been an 8 streak if Alejandro didn’t miss (honestly, how did that miss). To emphasize just how huge she once was on the format. Though Sabrina is probably going to be at 4 in a row after taste, and 6 seems possible if she plays her cards right this era.

Yeah, both Gaga and Katy had incredible success on pop radio during the peak of the electropop/dance-pop era of 2009-2011. I'd say The Fame Monster and the Teenage Dream eras are probably the biggest eras on that format ever (post 1991 and the adoption of Soundscan). As for Alejandro, that song was a massive global hit (arguably bigger than Telephone internationally) but suffered (comparatively) on US pop radio due to the (mild) controversy surrounding the religious themes of the music video, even though it was still a big top 5 hit there too.

Generally, I have to say I miss the perfectly planned big pop eras of the late 00s-early 10s with the big parade of monster radio hits. Rihanna delivered several such eras also, especially with GGGB and Loud. Generally, her 2007-2013 streak is just beyond legendary pop radio-wise. 

Following Michael Jackson's gargantuan success with Thriller's 7 top 10s, it became commonplace for labels to promote albums with multiple pop radio hits. Madonna's True Blue and her 1984-85 and 1989-1991 peaks, Janet Jackson's Control, Rhythm Nation and Janet, Michael's own Bad and Dangerous, Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl, Whitney Houston's first two albums, George Michael's Faith, Mariah Carey's debut, Music Box, Daydream and TEOM, Celine Dion's Falling Into You, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, Britney's and Christina's early albums and Fergie's The Dutchess are just a few examples of classic monster eras on pop radio (for the pre-1991 albums, Billboard's Airplay chart was essentially Top 40 radio). 

Following the widespread adoption of streaming in late 2015 (post-Apple Music and the precipitous decline of iTunes digital sales) and especially after 2016, album releases started focusing on causing a splash in the first week with promotion fizzling thereafter. This soon led to the current situation of the album bomb which is preceded by a singular major radio hit and maybe one follow-up. I wish labels abandoned that approach, album rollouts are less creative nowadays making the whole pop scene quite dull compared to its glory days.

85la agreed, Bloody Mary was obviously not a typical single, it actually performed amazingly on pop radio for a viral song!

Enigma. yeah, I'm hoping pop radio will be more receptive towards Gaga's new album following Bloody Mary's unexpected success with the TikTok crowd. If the new Joker movie is a success (which I feel it will be), then the chances of Gaga achieving a well-deserved, fully-fledged pop comeback will be great I hope!

[shakemaki]

My maybe “unpopular” take on Gaga and CHR is that they’ve actually been very fair to her since Artpop with one major exception. That being Rain On Me, which was inexcusable for them not to take top 5, even #1, with how on-point it sounded for current CHR radio, the CHR darling of the time Ariana was, and the great streaming performance.

However, every other single she’s released since Artpop really hasn’t been all that radio ready or on-trend when you look at it. Applause was a bit too zany and odd, and #4 was a totally fair CHR peak for it. The rest of the Artpop singles were not that radio ready. Joanne singles certainly were not. ASIB was not a sound that CHR ever really plays, even if the songs went over huge with people. It’d be like asking them to play The Grestest Showman songs. The Cure was kinda odd from her, and also not very on-trend. Stupid Love was dated as hell, they were exceptionally kind to it tbh. 911 never ever had any business as a single. And the Top Gun song was way too cheesy and also out-of-touch with CHR to do anything. BM was treated shockingly kindly by them all things considered. So yeah, her downfall on the format honestly makes a lot of sense for the most part. Really hoping DWAS is the start of a 180 with that though, since I think it will be big there.

Year end chart for rain on me:
40 Pop radio
48 hot 100

So it did better on Pop radio than it did overall; that seems fair.

Taste #2. Shaboozey #1 according to ToTC

[Enigma.]

Oh I agree Gaga hasn't exactly released the most pop radio friendly stuff, and only Rain on Me is truly odd one there, but in general I think she has been undervalued there since the Artpop days.

All fair points but I do need to point out that 911 was never serviced to radio in the US. Chromatica only has 2 US radio singles, Stupid Love (#5 Hot 100 / #11 Pop) and Rain On Me (#1 Hot 100 / #10 Pop). Rain On Me had a weird resurgence on Pop when it was about to drop out of the Top 40 months later. If those stations that led to its resurgence had gotten on board in July instead of the end of August, it probably would have peaked a tad higher than #10.

Unrelated to the quoted post but a general comment on the discussion in this thread:
I love how even when Gaga is smashing at #1 on Global Spotify there needs to be discourse about whether she is still a successful/relevant musician. Even if you don't like her, trust me, it won't hurt you to admit that she's still a successful musician.

And after all said and done, it was #51 on the all-inclusive Radio Songs chart for the 2020 year-end, so still overall stronger in radio than streaming (and #21 on digital sales). All combined, #48 on the Hot 100 year-end, so make of that what you will. As for the "resurgence" on pop radio, I'm not sure I would've called that a resurgence, it kind of just stayed in the 30s for a few more weeks towards the end of its total 20 week run.

Regarding its overall success, to me it seemed like it was bigger than chart stats indicate, but as with any song, to a particular demographic that would be drawn to it more, that always seems the case.

What a year Sabrina Carpenter continues to have.

After two smash hits, she manages not only to have the best album release of her career, but winds up having one of the biggest of the year period! And that's topped off with a new #1 - her THIRD this year - as Taste debuts with 21.32M. Had it had more radio - and had A Bar Song (Tipsy) not been so strong in other areas - she would've had her second #1 this year. Please Please Please also rebounded back to #2 with a 67.28% boost and Espresso, the song that kicked off this era, is at #4 with a 65.08% gain. Poor Die With A Smile is sadly stuck at #3 despite a 30.77% increase, it would've been #1 if Sabrina didn't drop her album this week. Amusingly last week's #1 - I Had A Help - dropped way down to #10 with a 23.77% decrease as had two other songs debut above it. All in all, Short N' Sweet debuted with a mammoth 143M in week 1, the third biggest of any artist and when you're only beaten by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, you're in a pretty good area.

Well we've got a new number one as unsurprisingly I Had Some Help rebounds back to #1 off the back of Post Malone's new album dropping, although oddly enough only for the second total time the song has been #1. The song knocked back Good Luck Babe! which fell back to #2 but only with a 2.63% decrease. Although it's unlikely either song will be #1 next week, not just with Sabrina Carpenter's new album dropping, but also becuase Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' duet Die With A Smile grew and grew all week and despite it debuting outside of the Top 10, was actually the highest debut at #4 with 13M streams.

The same type of success cannot be said for F-1 Trillion which crashed and burned in its second week, only having. 7 out of 18 songs charting: What Don't Belong to Me crashed with its streams being halved by 50.55%, Nosedive lived up to its title with a 47.77% dive, Wrong Ones bombed by 44.74%, Losers fell 42.09%, Guy For That dropped 40.39%, and Pour Me A Drink saw a decrease of 40.19%. Now you could make an argument that Sabrina pushed and took away most of the attention but we've seen better holds for albums amidst other releases so this is telling. F-1 Trillion in total fell around 66.98% with a 31M total, the second worst second week for a major album bomb, only beaten by Eminem's album.

Post wasn't the only one to see big drops from last week. Drake continued his bad year with It's Up falling by 23.58%, New Woman dropped by 12.44% despite not even debuting in the Top 100 and Belong Together continued its fall with a 10.29% drop.

The only two debuts this week were Travis Scott's Drugs You Should Try It thanks to Travis' 2014 Mixtape Days Before Rodeo finally being available in full on Spotify, and another pop queen as Addison Rae's excellent Diet Pepsi debuted at #103. In gains, Sailor Song, Juna, and No One Noticed continued their viral rises.

Year end chart for rain on me:
40 Pop radio
48 hot 100
75 Streaming Songs

So it did better on Pop radio than it did overall; that seems fair.

Far too low though imo. I still see no reason it shouldn’t have been one of the absolute biggest hits of the year on CHR. It had literally everything going for it for that format. And it was such a major anthem for what we all were dealing with in 2020. Also should be noted that it’s harder to crack the YE top 40 of the h100 or streaming than CHR. Way more competition.

[fridayteenage]

maybe for their stans it was an anthem for 2020. I listened to it like once.

[jenglisbe]

I think it would be funny if Sabrina had these 3 in a row on the chart and formed a sentence:
Please Please Please
Taste
Espresso

I think I will taste espresso, Sabrina.

Is “a bar song” the first song ever to still maintain at 300+ points ten weeks or so after its debut & immediate success, in the streaming era? I don’t think even the biggest global & domestic hits like aiw/stay/flowers have this level of popularity domestically. Even Last Night couldn’t do that iirc

Anyhow, the unusual amount of glazing here over a new song debuting at 230 points or so, is a sight behold lol. Drake & T Swift has 10th or 11th album tracks doing more than that, for reference lol.

I’m pretty sure it’s the first to maintain over 300 points for that long of a period since The Box, which around that time was a pretty normal amount of points being amassed for the #1 spot (Old Town Road was pushing around 600 points weekly the year prior).

It just goes to show how weak and uneventful the Hot 100 chart was from late 2020 all the way until the chaos of Q2 2024.

Thx for the reply,

However, it is wrong to put OTR here, and you’ve subsequently drawn an entire wrong conclusion from it. OTR happened in 2019
when TikTok short clips with a song playing in the background would be counted on the hot100. That was removed later, only streaming on streaming services count, which is why no songs are doing 600 points weekly anymore.

If you think about your hypothesis derived from OTR: then should it be the fastest song to reach 1,2,3+ billion streams, but it didn’t. The records are set by recent songs none of which even did 300 points weekly.

The idea that the hits are actually super dead rn compared to 2019 is wrong, the hot100 is livelier than it’s ever been this decade, and the booming streams figure shows it.

arturo52311 Lol the pathetic attempted dig by bringing up cardigan (#1 without any moves, while the album is like top 5 biggest of the decade already) All Too Well 10min ( longest song to go #1), and fortnight (biggest streaming song in 1 week globally and formerly in the US), cus that random flop song “rain on me” (which was carried by Ariana grande), is having its radio performance talked about fairly and objectively, is wild lol.

[fridayteenage]

weeks on US spotify
cardigan 78 weeks
all too well 30 weeks
rain on me 29 weeks

But anyway, who even said all too well, willow, and fortnight were "a major anthem" anyway? Or more likely, were you playing a round of Stan Warz?

"GP doesn't care for" is the name of Lady Gaga career. Rain on Me was carried by ariana grande to get a 200 point debut. nobody cared for it if not for grande. drake had 10th album track that debuted higher than that, which shows you how little attention there is for gaga's last proper project, despite again, having a collab from the biggest female star of that time. everything else from chromatica probably didnt even chart. id love you to prove me wrong on that lol.

and then of course, there is the Chromatica album itself, which debuted with a 65k SEA. to give you a proper perspective, some albums do 65K SEAs at their 50th week. so its fair to say, literally no one outside of gaga's fan base gave a damn about her lol. 

meanwhile, again: cardigan is on an album that is the 5th or 6th biggest this decade, ATW10Min made history as the longest song to go #1 & had the second biggest debut that year, Fortnight holds the record for the most streamed song globally in 1 week, and already has earned 600M streams.



Gaga on the other hand, made history at the first artist to bundle jockstraps on her album to sell to her fans. and ironically, when you break down her numbers and see that she sold 200k physicals but debuted fewer SEAs than morgan wallen's 50th week, you literally stumbled upon another example of "anthems to stans but the GP doesn't care for." Lmao.

hope you can have a little bit of self awareness from this point on.
