Thuggin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 A song being its strongest in the beginning of its chart run does not make it frontloaded. Frontloaded would be a song that debuts #1 but tumbles quickly down the charts. Not a song that spends many weeks at #1 but eventually falls to #2 and spends a bunch of more weeks in the top 10. Otherwise, practically every #1 debuting song would be frontloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Duff Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What the actual f. If Shape of You is frontloaded, I can’t imagine all the other songs. Ugh, this argument is senseless. If this is the argument, majority of the hits with big first month, even with insane longevity, will be called frontloaded. I just can’t fathom Shape of You being frontloaded. What a mess.

A start, a middle and an end, you could do a third each, or maybe a 25/50/25 split. in either case, shape of you highest points were st the start. IMF were. Hello was. Despacito was not, it spent almost four months before going #1. It’s greatest points were in its middle section, You're, once again, the only person who holds this view no one will ever consider SOY frontloaded, but you No one would ever call Candle In The Wind frontloaded because majority of its sales were within the first week of release, but you would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 2 hours ago, ChartsFan said: The definition for frontloaded states the beginning section of a process. It does not say or consider a daffodil how long that process is. As it is not relevant to the word, You're trynna use a very extreme/literal connotation...stop it Not even in marketing would anyone sit there and use frontloaded the way you are trying to...literally none Stop arguing just for the sake of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 And Despacito was heavily propelled by the Justin Bieber remix...it would've never went #1 without him So technically if you track the run starting with the remix you'd say it was frontloaded too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookgrande Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Thank U, Next could very well spend 10+ weeks at #1, with the Extended Director's Cut + Blooper Reel version of the music video coming. It still hasn't been discounted, and is still the biggest gainer on radio every day, even during the xmas freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jude Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Imagine being 50 years old and still dragging a 25 yr old pop girl for 7 weeks straight now. What a very, very sad life and personality. OT: Ariana #1 for 6 weeks. It's gonna tie Born This Way as the second(?) longest #1 female lead/solo to debut at the summit (I can only think of Hello that did it longer so please correct me if you may).

Sinister Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Btw Every word is either positive, neutral, or negative. The connotation of frontloaded (especially in reference to songs) has and always will be negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the definition comes with no negative connotation, You are negative. You've been on this site all year, you've seen how frontloaded has been used throughout the months and in reference to certain songs Not once have you said anything about it. Not once have you ever called SOY frontloaded and you've discussed that song on numerous occasions Now all of a sudden you want to bring up dictionary definitions and hold onto something you know no one else, but yourself, views What do you gain from calling TUN frontloaded? What is your purpose of doing so? Give it a rest. TUN clearly has you bothered because you thought it would've already lost it's #1 position and fall, you came at it because she name dropped her exes and thought it would start a revolution in pop where all artists started name dropping, you tried constructing up a narrative that it was a weak #1 (lol), you went from calling it a meme that couldnt stand on it's own and shifted to saying it's frontloaded Every week you find something else. So again I ask you, what is your purpose in using frontloaded right now? P.S Girls Like You is also frontloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
