Agree with Die For You and disagree with Calm Down. Their conditions were not the same, with the latter being a proper sleeper hit that is just peaking now compared to DFY which peaked 3 months ago (so 14 weeks ago) yet is still top ten.

Exactly! That user is so obsessed. They keep saying the same **** every day pretending as if Calm Down has been in the Top 10 since it came out in August when in reality it lingered within the top 40 for like weeks and only started to gain steam in the new year.

+ Rema is still an unknown artists for everyone like you can ask the people that stream Calm Down daily who’s Rema and they will not know who he is which determines a lot a song popularity which is way different than The Weeknd who is a household name on American Radio and music business in general and then snatch a remix with another American radio darling aka Ariana Grande which makes the run of the song way more easier to make it explode and take it straight to number 1 or at least the top 5.

 

You can tell Calm Down success is organic and this comes from someone who don’t like the song and it’s pretty hit or miss when it comes to Selena's music and any people saying otherwise is delusional

Pop needs to gut Flowers, and let Calm Down and Creepin have their turns at #1 the next few weeks and get them out of the way so we can be done with this BS sooner rather than later. Then, maybe Boy's a Liar's updates could return to normal and make a run at #1 on Pop.

This is getting annoying and tiresome, stop saying the same thing every single day. Maybe learn to expand your vocabulary?

Pop radio playing the same songs 3-5 times every hour is annoying and tiresome. Maybe Pop radio needs to expand the song lists.

Miley Cyrus - "Jaded" 8.28 (+0.72) 

Solid overall update today. 

 

Yeah, maybe pop radio needs to gut Flowers, and let Calm Down and Creepin have their turns at #1 the next few weeks and get them out of the way so we can be done with this BS sooner rather than later, and maybe they can start to push Jaded harder. ()

I agree with you. We all see it and annoyed by it, but it'll get there.

[simmnfierzig]

The same songs are also on top of Spotify and Apple Music forever. I really dont get the complaints.

 

And dont think it even are that many of the overall spins that are going to those few songs. With recurrents and all the small songs

The thread is active at least, let's say that.

It is essential for the CHR format to remove Seed-bearing Parts of Plants, and allow for Chill Out and Crawling have their tenures at the summit over the upcoming few fortnights and clear its path of them so we could be finished with this cow stool in a period of time that is nearer to us now than further away. Then, perhaps Dishonest Youth's updates could become more akin to the ordinary and allow it for it to get a stint at the summit of the CHR format.

Damn, I still love that song, lol. However, it should be noted that during this period, R&B/Hip Hop was the biggest radio format at the time. The #1 song on R&B/Hip Hop usually had 60M, 70M AI, and sometimes even 80M AI. In Da Club, the #1 song of the year, had 88M AI on R&B/Hip Hop at its peak.

Yes. I remember that this was also the case with Deborah Cox's Nobody's Supposed To Be Here in 1998-9. Unfortunately the song had issues crossing over to mainstream radio & peaked at #2 for 8 weeks. Had BB expanded the airplay panel to all formats a few weeks earlier she might have reached #1.

I'll never forget how Nobody's Supposed To Be Here got Levitating'd on the Hot 100 also. I know the change was overdue, but airplay only songs were added the week when NSTBH was going to reach #1, and I'm Your Angel blocked it. (To make things worse, when I'm Your Angel was done its run at #1, Have You Ever just swooped into the #1 spot over NSTBH.)

Did Beautiful U R by Deborah Cox ever chart?

After Murder William only got a week at #1 I don’t see either Chill Out, Crawling, Dishonest Youth, or Absolute Certainty to have an extended stay atop the charts.  Previous Evening could be the next megahit on CHR.

I love that song too, that second Stacie Orrico album had some real gems on it such as this one, There's Gotta Be More (To Life), and I Could Be The One.

 

Yeah it's crazy how urban music-dominated radio was in the early 2000s, and I think a lot of pop songs were also heavily affected by the fact that HAC stations wouldn't spin white people pop songs the way they do today. Something like Hilary Duff's Come Clean reached number 9 at pop but 'only' number 35 on the Hot 100 because it had no HAC/AC support, even though if it came out today it would probably be a bigger HAC/AC hit than a pop one.

 

If I recall correctly, the early 2000s also marked the first time a song hit number one on pop radio (specifically the Billboard chart) without going top ten on the Hot 100, in the form of both JoJo's Leave (Get Out) and Jessica Simpson's With You.
