Hot 100: Old Town Road #1

As i said early on this tread, It was  suspicious Billboard didn’t post the week top 10 on the same hour they always do it, It was “Old Town Road” rising to the number #1, He deserved it. It’s interesting that for next week Billy Ray Cyrus can gain credits at number #1 since the remix sales & streaming is gaining more points than the single version, hope It happens the “Perfect Duet” situation and Billy is going to be credited on it next week...

Okay, "Old Town Road" IS actually the Hot Shot Debut Billboard's Country Airplay Chart: 

53 NEW OLD TOWN ROAD Columbia HH Hot Shot Debut HH Lil Nas X 1.019 +0.982 140 135, but below #60 spins-wise, And BB even gave Lil Nas X some credit for his HSD achievement: "Thanks largely to syndicated plays on The Bobby Bones Show and a remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, released April 5, the song arrives at No. 53 on Country Airplay with 1 million audience impressions."

 

Now, to be fair to BB, Bebe Rexha/FGL's "Meant To Be" didn't debut on the hybrid airplay/sales/streaming Hot Country Songs Chart until MTB's SECOND week on the BB CAC. Also, during that time, FGL was moved from "featured" status wk 1 to Bebe Rexha & FGL with equal billing on CAC wk 2.  Also, the BRC feature was added, 05 April, too late in the tracking period to count as the main version of OTW, as Bobby Bones featured OTR on his syndicated show prior to the Cyrus remix.  Obviously, this billing will change this coming week.  I could actually see Lil Nas X changing Cyrus to equal billing soon, as Cyrus part is really more than what's considered a "featured" artist.

 

I messaged Jim Asker (Country, Christian, and Gospel Chart Manager) the week before MTB debuted at #1 on the HCSC, and he wrote back and said he was adding MTB on the HCAC the following week.  Since he didn't message me back last night, today, or tonight about OTR, COMBINED with the pressure put upon Billboard after its controversial removing OTR from the HCSC, and Country Sales and Streaming Charts, that he is under the gun enough as it is. 

 

This is a far cry from waiting to add MTB until wk 2.  But, even with MTB, now nearly 1.5 yrs' ago, BB faced questions asked about MTB's exclusion on the BB HCSC, CSaC, and CStC -- largely because Bebe was a non-Country lead artist.  Bebe's team actually bought Country Weekly ads pointing out that MTB was the top selling and streaming Country song for two weeks prior to Asker adding MTB to the HCSC, CSaC, and CStC.

Please see my commentary in my previous post, as to why BB might have had some reason (not necessarily great reason though) as to why OTR didn't debut this week.  As for the timing of tonight's Country Weekly Update, it was right on time, around 10 pm.  Had BB had questions about OTR's exclusion, BB's CWU would've definitely been late.

Billboard really must not like the press they have recived surrounding this song. I have never seen the hot 100 article, especially about a new number 1, on the day of the article’s release, this buried on the front page of the site before.ZdbRhwQ_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f

You've never heard an actual southern person talk then. We don't talk like that, hence why he must've made this as a joke/meme or something.

 

I didn't call anyone out. I just said the song is trash and the fake accent sounds silly. Calm down.

it's his real accent tho

This will have like 3x the points of the number two song next week :rip:

 

it hit number one before the remix came out and it seems the remix is as big or bigger than the original song 

 

with how quickly the radio is picking up. The only competition would be Adele I think. Even Taylor would be a challenge to overcome this. At least till it cools down in like 4-6 weeks 

To challenge it during her first 1-2 weeks? Not at all, LWYMMD did 1k+ points in its first weeks. But yeah, good luck to Taylor after her first couple weeks if she really releases soon. August it is then I guess if she was originally planning to release this month :skull:

Oh ok I had no idea it was only released this week. Hopefully they count him because the original is probably going to contribute more but well, he is definitely helping as well.
