BILLBOARD HOT 100 - 4/3/2010

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

I'm not sure. apparently Mediabase readjusts it's AI for accuracy because of course, station popularity change over time. I'm assuming all the songs have lowered AI is because almost all radio stations went down in popularity ( less people are listening to the radio ) which has been the trend for a long while now.

[stooki3]

New stations were added to the panel yesterday

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

Yes, that's true. But a lot of them were most likely stations that were already monitored but flipped formats, although it's not easy to say for sure. Some of them may be new.

[WouldYouJumpTheGDTrainAlready?]

R&B took some HEAVY drops

[musik...]

Wow, Bedrock (- 6.080), Tik Tok (-5.311), and Say Aah (-5.117) have taken really hard hits... funny enough, in this sea of freefalling AIs, Lady A has still managed to find some way to muster up even more audience impressions!!

[chopped89]

SHIT!!

[$uperb@tDuDe]

Looks like Rude Boy will get to #1 on Hot 100 airplay. Swoop!

[kml567]

It's interesting to see AI for Rhythmic and Urban went down, while AI for HotAC went up. Perhaps this will be a trend for the future? The radio ratings for Rhythmic and Urban stations are way down compared to a few years ago.

[Nic (Britney Spears)]

Yeah. Rhythmic/Urban in general isn't nearly as popular as it was. Songs like "Need You Now" really are the ones with the most universal appeal these days.

The introduction of the PPM (Personal People Meter) by Arbitron has reduced the ratings of Urban and Rhythmic stations in the large markets (PPM was rolled out to the large markets first). It has conversely seemed to have increased the ratings of CHR/Top 40 and AC.

The old diary method underestimated how much people jump from station to station when they listen to radio, and over estimated how "loyal" they were to certain radio formats such as urban.

That's because music is cyclical.

Usually a genre has about 3-5 years of domination and then... on to the next one.

1. LADY ANTEBELLUM - Need You Now = 122.168 (+ 1.242)
This will be #1 for a while.
2. YOUNG MONEY - Bedrock f/Lloyd = 99.256 (+ 0.018)
Well, at least it was a #1 airplay hit
3. RIHANNA - Rude Boy: 93.054 (+ 1.924)
Should be the new #1. I wonder if their will be competition for this song.
MARTINA MCBRIDE - Wrong Baby Wrong: 21.000 (+ 0.307)

How many singles does Usher have out? Who would have thought he would be struggling for a hit

[jgizzle89]

OFFICIALLY, Usher has 1 single out (Daddy's Home). Lil Freak is set to be the official 2nd US single. Yeah, no huge hits, but "papers" was #1 on hip-hop/r&b and "daddy's home" is currently #4 on that same chart.

[chopped89]

No one is giving usher any attention, i don't know why!!he really didn't promote his songs, no performances, or anything!!haven't heard of him in blogs for a long time!!

I would not mind if songs like NYN, HSS, IY, and others start to become more popular! I think we need more songs like those on the radio.

[HolidayGuy]

Usher certainly looks to be past his prime hitmaking era. No more BIG BIG hits in store for him.

Well it's fine. He still has the most US #1's of this century. Bey or Ri may be coming for him by next year though. Though if one adds up US + WW #1's Ri already owns.

I thought Bob would've topped iTunes by now. Huh.

I don't know how many times I have to say this, but Madonna still owns worldwide. ;)

Yeah.

Hey Daddy is a hit. Not "Confessions"era or "Love In The Club" type hit. But it's a major Urban hit.

"Lil Freak" should bring him success. "OMG" is the first official Pop single. That should also be huge.

He does have too many songs getting airplay. Add them all up and it's a major hit. LOL.

[musik...]

Rihanna and GaGa/Beyonce are number one on both sides of the atlantic, that makes me happy! lol. anyways, i wonder how drake will fare in the next weeks. he's experiencing nice adds at radio (though an overwhelming majority are from urban/rhythmic formats which will probably level off in the near future) and iTunes has really been promoting "Over". I wonder if it will crossover since aside from the artist, the song doesn't really have that crossovr appeal to it.

They don't even come close to Britney's chart record worldwide

You smug betch, I already said that my mistake was that I mixed up year-end T10's with weekly #1's when I posted. But the fact remains that in the 21st century, which does NOT include 2000:

Rihanna 5 US + 5 WW = 10
Usher 7 US + 1 WW = 8 (or possibly 2?)
Beyonce 5 US + 3 WW = 8
BEP 5 WW + 3 US = 8
Destiny 4 WW + 2 US = 6
Madonna 6 WW + 0 US = 6
Pink 4 WW + 1 US = 5
Nelly 4 US + maybe 1 WW *shrugs*

First of all, Madonna had Music #1 for 4 weeks in 2000.
Also, who decided that US + WW = most successful?
It's obvious that who has the most sales WW is the best-selling, as US is included in WW!

Yeah, I'm a little confused by that list...First, why are songs being counted twice? If it topped the Hot 100 in the US and also was a WW #1, it shouldn't count twice. That's just double-dipping for no reason, though it does inflate Rihanna's numbers nicely. And I'm guessing "Destiny" is Destiny's Child, who only had one chart-topper ("Bootylicious") in the US after 2000. If 2000 doesn't count, then "Independent Women" shouldn't count. Though it remained at number one a few weeks into 2001, it reached number one in 2000. Also, Pink had two number one songs in the US after 2000 ("Lady Marmalade" and "So What").

It doesn't seem like a very factually determined list.
