brianc33710 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 After adjusting the charts to account for weeks lost by 25/52, these are the Top Songs of the 2010s. I'm only giving my estimated Top Five, so others please feel free to add or correct what I've done here. 1) Uptown Funk 2) Shape Of You 3) Closer 4) Despacito 5) Party Rock Anthem After the Top Five, what comes next? We Found Love or Someone That I Used To Know, and not just by BB's estimates? Also, how about Blurred Lines, Happy, One Dance, and All About That Bass? There are others out there too.

The change (will) cut UF and SOY short on H 100 chart weeks. 25/52 was not in place when PRA was on the Hot 100. It's last 16 weeks were bouncing around between 35 and 50. The four songs I listed above PRA all lost several chart weeks due to 25/52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despacito made strong gains in sales, and decent gains in streams, in its 53rd week. But BB still removed it! I honestly couldn't get a clear answer from Silvio as to why that happened. He confused my question with one I had asked a couple of weeks earlier about the Top 5 RC songs having 2 straight wks of gains, and ranking within the T 50, but BB still keeping them RC. That's when he explained the "special/cultural event" rule was what BB went by. BB did let TSOS reenter the Rock Songs Chart at #6 in its 53rd week though, which is a notable exception to that chart's 5/52 rule. BB may realize that this song hasn't gone away yet, or else it wouldn't blow up every time it gets exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they should be fair with the rules I guess like SOY should be gone but its still Top 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB actually had a 20/20 rule at the very beginning of the SS era, which they quickly changed to 40/20 and then 50/20. The more understandable 50/26 never came into being. SOY may finally fall off this week though. We will see what happens on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really do that, year old songs on the charts is very annoying, specially when they have been charting for a whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means a song can't go RC until it falls below #50 after 26+ weeks, AND provided it's in its 4th straight week of decline. As long as it's in the Top 50, it has all the time it wants to chart. Of course, I would also change the rules to prevent 20 debuts on the Hot 100 from an album upon its release unless the songs can place on at least one airplay chart. So Adele's Hello wouldn't have been forced off of the Hot 100 for 50/26/-4 because the onslaught of Drake and Beyonce debuts with no airplay (except 2-3 songs) wouldn't have happened. Prince's posthumous debuts alone wouldn't have been enough to force Hello below 50. Hello should've wound up with 3-4 more weeks in the Top 40 and 4-6 more in the T 50/H 100.

SOY has the edge since like UF it has temporarily beat the 25/52 rule. Closer was in the 30s in week 52, but it got all 52 weeks in the Top 40.

I actually wrote Silvio and Gary about possibly relaxing 50/20 for a couple of weeks due to the Prince, Beyonce, and Drake debuts. But obviously, that didn't happen. I think Hello would've climbed back into the Top 50 for a couple of weeks after the Prince/Beyonce/Drake songs fell off the Hot 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think We Found Love or Somebody That I Used To Know would be #6, and the other #7. Somebody also benefited from no 25/52, but for only 6 instead of 16 weeks. Had Hello not gotten knocked out prematurely due to the Prince, Beyonce, and Drake songs that flooded the charts for three weeks, Hello would've been more of a competitor here. If you were to factor in "Power Points," based on the song's certification level, Hello would rank higher too. I've mentioned this to Gary and Silvio, but I need to break it down better before the 60th annv Hot 100 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
