I hope we might get some info on the next album after her Munich shows later this year or when her Vegas residency ends in November. Although part of me feels that we won't get an album until 2026 at the earliest and Adele may do random shows/"residencies" throughout 2025.

Still wild to me that #19 has over 1.3 million streams. Music is back, y'all! The amazing thing is if you were take take out Taylor's album, the entire top 20 would be over 1 million. Currently 37 songs over 1 million - 22 without Taylor. Spotify's aggressive marketing campaign over the last year seems to have paid off a lot. I would be interested to see just how much more of a market share of the streaming market they have compared to Amazon & Apple Music now. The larger their market share, the most visibility we have to streaming numbers which is great.

Now top 50 on Urban & Rhythmic Radio Urban 45 42 GLORILLA & MEGAN THEE STALLION Wanna Be 472 345 127 1.594 Rhythmic 56 44 GLORILLA & MEGAN THEE STALLION Wanna Be 225 131 94 0.238 Back at #1 on the US daily youtube chart, #48 spotify & #19 on Apple Music. Has held up really well in the face of the Taylor album bomb. Should hopefully start climbing a bunch as the Taylor's album begins to drop down a bit. Hopefully the label will fully push this to Urban/Rhythmic now - with airplay support I wouldn't be surprised at it becoming a top 10 hit in the coming months. Juan Carlos could you move this to the Urban/Rhythmic forum now it's top 50 on both formats?

Billboard Top 10 from 60 years ago: May 2, 196402 04 Hello, Dolly! - Louis Armstrong What an iconic song and run — going number one at 63 years old (next week). Obviously, an incredible legend who well deserved it 60 years ago. Does anyone think a 60+ year old artist could go number one today? Who? Coming for #1 in Christmas 2035 after year by year gaining on Mariah, Brenda and the likes!

This has been holding up really well in streaming and is gaining again. With radio on board, wouldn't be surprised to see this go top 5 on the Hot 100 in a few weeks or so as Taylor's album bomb's impact reduces.

I was hoping for something more along the vein of "Love Lies" or "Wild Side". Or something like Muni Long's "Made For Me".
Whilst this is pretty and would make a nice album track, the hook isn't particularly strong.
I hope it proves me wrong and manages to become a decent sized hit though. I'm sure it'll do really well on R&B radio and will likely make a splash on Urban/Rhythmic!

The Adele numbers are just absurd lol. The untouchable 3.5 million is one thing... but two additional weeks over 1.1 million? And another over 800k right? If it was the early 2000s when album sales were huge, I don't think I'd blink. But for 2015? It's mind-boggling. Week 1 - 3,480,000 Week 2 - 1,110,000 Week 3 - 695,000 Week 4 - 790,000 Week 5 - 1,160,000 Week 6 - 307,000 5 weeks over 500k/6 weeks over 300k. It wasn't just its debut week but how it sustained itself throughout the holiday period and increasing sales in week 4 and 5 in the run up to Christmas, just amazing. The UK numbers are just as absurd, if not even more so considering the population if 5x less than the US: Week 1 - 800,307 Week 2 - 439,337 Week 3 - 353,765 Week 4 - 376,716 Week 5 - 449,870 Week 6 - 75,783 It was such a great time as a chart watcher! Amazing to see Taylor get such high numbers as well. I hope one day we'll see another artist repeat what Adele & Taylor both managed to do despite doing it in a backdrop of declining album sales.

Do we think the album will get a second week over 1 million? Would be amazing if Taylor could also do that! Although I assume that might be quite difficult? What were the seocnd week drops of Midnights and 1989 (Taylor's Version)?

Have we had any updated projections? I'm not entirely sure Taylor will manage the top 10 again? I think "Guilty As Sin" was the projected #10 but "Too Sweet" overtook it yesterday on spotify and has extended its lead on spotify today. Which will likely increase again tomorrow. It might be quite close?

Hopefully not.... the songs at #2-#6 are all falling so if this keeps holding on it should get into the top 5 fairly easily. :( I'm also hoping the Taylor effect is still taking away some spins slightly...

I will not stand for the slander of "Fortnight". Fast becoming one of my favourite singles she's released and the music video is great too. Certainly going to be a big hit in its own right!

The song feels dead and buried now, I still think they need to drop another single asap. You say that but it's been re-entering/climbing on Apple Music/Spotify in Europe despite the Taylor album bomb. I'm surprised the label didn't full push this to radio, particularly in Europe. It may still manage to do something/go viral. But lack of support from the label will likely means it'll fade away again.

Adele simply waited too long to release 30. Although 25 was undeniably massive, its singles (except "Hello") didn't have the impact/longevity of most of 21's. The era also felt pretty short compared to 21. Though it would've been hard to avoid how front-loaded it was, I think she could've kept the momentum going a bit longer. She probably should've released in 2019. The reason for that was that they weren't available on streaming services until they were given an offical impact date. "When We Were Young" wasn't released to streaming services until it was announced as the second single in January 2016. By which time the album had already sold huges amounts of copies. The album itself wasn't released to streaming until June 2016. I would argue "When We Were Young" definitely had an impact as big as the singles from 21 and has become a classic in its own right. It's a shame we don't have updated US certifications for Adele's songs/albums. 25 has proven itself to stream really great - on par or even better than 21 in some aspects. In terms of 30 I agree they waited too long, but they couldn't have forseen the pandemic happening. It was meant to release in Q4 of 2020. By the time they did release 30 Adele was already kind of over the album. I believe they would've pushed 1-2 more singles (the label likely pushed Adele to record/include "Can I get It" to be a single for summer 2022). But the whole mess with her Vegas residency happened which is what I think was the ultimate nail in the coffin. Had the vegas residency gone as expected, they would've likely pushed 2 more singles ("I Drink Wine" in the spring - she performed it at the BRITS and the video had been recorded months ago & "Can I Get It" in the summer). Instead Adele seeemed to want to have as low as a profile as possible after that happened. Likely to try and ride out some of the backlash, but also she was likely completely done with the album by that point unfortunately... It was quite heartbreaking after waiting so long for her to have another era for it to be completely done after ~3 months. Since then her Vegas residency has gone really well and her dates in August in Munich will likely go just as well. I think one of the things that hurts Adele's numbers is her lack of touring as well. She's only done 1 world tour vs Taylor's 6. Touring is a great way to build a really loyal fanbase which help with the first week numbers and long-term streaming of the album. I'm hopeful that Adele's next era will be able to do well (likely won't be until 2025-2026 at the earliest if she doesn't have another baby by then) with a large opening. But back to Taylor, 1.6 million SPS is amazing first day! Guarenteed to do 2 million now with just the streaming for the rest of the week. I expect she'll do between 2.3-2.5 million overall? Unless her and her team decide to try to do things midweek like drop a deluxe version with more tracks or drop the actual double album physical in store? Perhaps dropping some prices etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor somehow does 3 million at this point.

Not too bad of a second day drop. The most of her albums so far which is expected due to the huge debut numbers and the high number of tracks. Will likely see fairly big drops in the coming days, but still at very high streaming overall. I'm hoping some of my favourite album tracks will stablise better and climb above a number of the other album tracks.
I'm not too sure she'll manage to occupy the entire top 10. I can see "Too Sweet" and "Like That" occupying somewhere in the bottom top 10. Perhaps even Drake somewhere in the mix if he holds on well.

Insane numbers, I hope she manages to pass 2 miliion!
I assume she'll do 1.3-1.5 pure sales with 2-2.2 million total depending on streaming. It'll be interesting to see how big of a drop the album has in the coming days on streaming services and also how the order of the album tracks changes.

Great start on airplay for the song! I can see this being a massive multi-week #1, it just gets better and better with each listen The youtube views for the video are doing great as well - 15.5 million views in 18 hours, likely going to do ~20 million in the first 24 hours. I also hope this marks the start of a comeback for Post with his next album!

Really like the video. Loved the scene of her wiping her face with Post's tattoo's showing on her face and him not having any. And the hug was so cute.
This is definitely one of my favourite tracks from the album and really glad they're pushing it as the lead single!

After listening through a couple times, these are the 12 I really enjoyed/will be adding to my playlists:
"Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)" "The Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" "So Long, London" "Fresh Out The Slammed" "Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine)" "Guilty As Sin?" "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" "The Smallest Man Whoever Lived" "imgonnagetyouback" "How Did It End?" "So High School" "thanK you aIMee"
Would've made a great shorter album. I prefer the first half of the album to the second half. Hoping "imgonnagetyouback" and "So High School" get the single treatment

Ah damn! Just misses the top 10. It's back up to #3 on Apple Music though and still #1 on the youtube daily chart. Down to #41 on spotify but hopefully it'll climb back up. Might be able to climb in the top 10. The label need to send the song to Rhythmic/Urban radio for more points!

Should be safe for Beyoncé on Billboard I assume! Great to see her clear 100k+ for a second week. Fingers crossed with the album becoming available at most retailers now it may stabilise and get a 3rd week at #1 with 100k+?

GloRilla & Megan's "Wanna Be" will likely be one to look out for. Rises to #1 on the US daily youtube chart for 9/10th April, rises to new peak of #28 on Spotify and is #4 on Apple Music (falls 1 spot due to Future/Metro new album).
Label should send it to Rhythmic/Urban radio as it is looking like it could be a big hit given it's reaching/at new peaks in streaming a week on from release.

Another bop and the best music video so far this era, should be an easy hit for Dua! Hopefully it'll also get boosted by the album release in a few weeks or so.
They should full push this to radio and drop "Training Season" in the US.

This is really catchy!
She gives me massive Marina/Marina and the Diamonds vibes with a splash of Cyndi Lauper.

GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion's "Wanna Be" rising to new peak of #32 on spotify and #5 on Apple Music. Could be a decent sized hit for both if they send to Urban/Rhythmic radio ASAP!

This is up to #5 on Apple Music US and rises to a new peak of #32 on US spotify. They need to send this to Urban/Rhythmic radio ASAP!
Edit: Up to #3 on Apple Music, maybe coming for #1? *_*
Edit 2: New peak of #29 on spotify.

It's a long shot with the event falling on a Monday, but I'd like to see 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' re-enter. Why would this song re-enter. Did i miss anything? The last eclipse in the US in 2017 it went to #1 on iTunes and also re-appeared on various streaming services (#63 on spotify). The music video youtube views also went up massively. It seems to be doing the same again this time round, but doubt it'll do enough to re-appear on the Hot 100, particularly with youtube being much weaker now than back in 2017.
