Billboard Hot 100 - 2/27/10

[chartattack]

Should be a very close race this week between Kesha (going for a 9th week) and BEP (going for their 3rd #1).

[neverduplicated]

I think it's going to be BEP. They were 70,000+ ahead of Kesha last week, and the airplay difference was about 80 million. With Kesha's airplay and sales falling and BEP's airplay rising (sales staying steady it seems), will be close, but I think BEP will pull it out of the bag. By the way, wasn't the last album to have 3 #1's on the Hot 100 Fergie's?

[MikeCheck12]

I'd rather it be BEP

When was the last time a song was #1 without a video?

[bibliotheque]

^ I think Britney's 3 was #1 before the video.

[worldofrihannacom]

^ Thanks!

Rihanna was the last to do it with a re-release. Fergie was the last to do it without one.

[skizzo]

if its Kesha vs BEP, Kesha to win please!

[fridayteenage]

I wonder if Gaga can muster up a 3rd with Telephone after a video premiere.

I believe that in the Soundscan era, there are altogether 5 non-black artists w/3 #1's not featuring a black artist: Bryan Adams (soundtrack superstar), Celine, Madonna, Xtina, Brit. I'm hoping Brit will be the first with 4. If Telephone hits #1, Gaga would still have 1.

The four + number ones needs to be updated with newer artists.

Gaga has 2 now...maybe can score two more
Hopefully BEP can put out another one but it will be difficult with the single choices left.
Beyonce unfortunately didn't do it this time

I would love for Brit to do it...but yeah probably not going to happen.

4 - Bee Gees — Saturday Night Fever 1977-1978

The Bee Gees had 3 #1s from Saturday Night Fever:

"How Deep Is Your Love"
"Stayin' Alive"
"Night Fever"

[Deleted]

The album is what I was recognizing, I suppose

Saturday Night Fever, whose principal artist was the Bee Gees had 4

[Deleted]

Ke$ha vs. BEP? Awesome! If Ke$ha get's her 9th(amazing) week at #1, I'll be thrilled! But if BEP get they 3rd #1, I'll be just as happy! It's a win-win for me :)

Hope Telephone, ALambert, and Buble can move up too!

No because it was a re-release. the original album didn't have 3 #1 songs on it. It's easy to include old #1 tracks and then put them onto an album with new material.

Usher doesn't really count because he needed to go back and record new tracks to get his album to 4 #1 singles from one album.

He does count. his first three singles went to number 1 and then they did a re-release before a forth single was even released. He was so big at the time that no matter what he released it would have likely gone to number 1.

[musik...]

Excited to see where "Rude Boy" debuts next week, it's very possible if sales pick up and radio spins grow that it could debut in the top 60! Also looks like Gaga and Bey will move up nicely this week :)

It will be interesting to see where "We Are The World" remake will land next week, since it's already at number 4 on US iTunes!

Interesting statistic - but doesn't Take A Bow count as having a black artist? Or are you just talking credits? #1s - TUTBMP and Music, right?

Rihanna, Usher, Taylor Swift and any other re-releases count in full on lists such as this

[Juanca]

It is very interesting that the least successful song of the E.N.D. 4 first singles is bound to be the BEST song in the album. I think this is a good reflection of the type of popular songs these last months.
Another sign: "Tik Tok" spending 8 weeks at #1 and "Bad Romance" none.
I like Kesha's song, but 8 weeks?! seriously??

He doesn't really count. It's not like the other artists where all of their hits came from the original release. It's not that much of a feat to tack a song on later down the road after you realize there are no more #1 singles to be had from your album. It's not the same so just admit it and move on. At the very least Usher can say he had #1 singles from his original album. If you have his original album you don't even have one of the #1 singles. Hell Janet and Michael should release their old material with a new hit tacked on to it and say well I got 5 or 6 #1 singles from one album.

Waaaaa! A song can't get to #1 if no one is buying it or no one wants to hear it. Bad Romance didn't deserve any weeks at #1 because it simply did not meet the criteria for a #1 single. Meet Me Halfway clearly didn't have the appeal of the other tracks otherwise it would've done just as well. You could argue timing but a #1 single can get their regardless of timing.

Relax, man!
Are you taking your pills lately? You seem very irritated in the few threads I have read in the past days ;)
Of course I know what the Billboard punctuation system is and I think it is a fair system. I am not debating it at any point of my post.
I am just saying that IMO the people's common preferences lead less to high-quality tracks than to one-trick ponies. I am disappointed that I'mma Be could reach #1 next week whereas a much better song from the same group MMH was much less successful (of course because people didn't buy enough copies and bla, bla, bla)

[Deleted]

The meteoric rise of Imma Be may be pre-empted by We Are The World
