When was the last time a double digit #1 didn't reach the summit on Radio Songs?

 

These are the only ones that didn't reach #1 on Radio Songs:

 

Los del Río, "Macarena" (Bayside Boys mix)  (Radio #7)

 

Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring 112, "I'll Be Missing You" (Radio #4)

 

Elton John, "Candle in the Wind 1997" / "Something About the Way You Look Tonight"  (Radio: Candle In The Wind #21; Something About The Way You Look Tonight  #18)

 

Brandy and Monica, "The Boy Is Mine" (Radio #2)

 

Drake, "God's Plan" (Radio #3)

Pop music will always equate to popular music. That’s literally it’s definition. Urban music was huge in the early 2000’s the same way it is now, but it wasn’t nearly as snubbed on the format.

it literally isn't the definiton, no.

 

"Although much of the music that appears on record charts is seen as pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music"

How when he literally did 2M WW with just one hit this era and done in four months, perhaps a slight one but if you look at the bigger picture, it’s really not that drastic and he’s outselling most of the pop girls and some pop boys recent albums.

 

 his album just passed 1 Billion streams on Spotify.

 

why are you always coming for him?

7M > 2M

 

Sophomore slump. His streaming was way bigger and he lost it. No hits

Dua has 3 songs in the Top30.

 

New Rules still in power rotation on Z100 and KIIS. Almost 4 months of non stop power rotation on the country's top two hit stations.

Nope, that's all Rhythmic and Urban. It's not on Pop's top 50 yet. 

 

God's Plan was getting similar support tho, so it's not all that surprising. It just goes to show Drake's sway with those formats. 

[Pop Art]

In reference to the ongoing discussion about why radio is so "out of touch" with what's smashing on the Hot 100, I had a thought today that might explain part of this discrepancy. As we know, streaming is fueled largely by younger listeners. From what I've seen, that same age range also tends to have cars that have auxiliary cords, or they find a cost effective method to allow their vehicles to have the same basic capability, which they use to utilize to play music from streaming services while driving. Additionally, when on the job, at parties, and whatnot, they also tend to plug in their phones/open their streaming app or website to listen to music rather than turn on the radio. (Essentially, whenever music is to be played, in any setting, streaming sites rather than radio is the chosen medium for this younger crowd.) This got me thinking, perhaps the reason why radio keeps skewing away from songs that are clearly big on streaming is because young people - the audience that fuels streaming - simply isn't listening to the radio anymore, thus they are left with the taste of a middle aged and older audience, which would also explain why the radio charts and digital charts line up far better than the former (and the latter for that matter) does with streaming charts, since the general consensus is that this middle and older age group hasn't transitioned from digital purchases to streaming.

 

Now that I typed all this up I feel like this is actually common knowledge and I'm just repeating the obvious.  Also I don't know why I kept refereeing to young people as "they" when I'm part of them.

I am totally agree with this. Even when i'm on the car I and a lot of my friends that i had asked usually put on earphones and uses streaming app when driving with another person (driver, parents, etc) thus making the one that didn't put on earphones "decides" which song should stay or not.

Can we also predict the death of radio? Could streaming services control the music industry in the future, and by control, I mean they get to decide what we will listen too as much as how radio works?

millenials are streamin's biggest demographic, yes, and it's also radio's smallest. radio still reaches 95% of millenials though
