EnjoyTheSilence Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Madonna - Angel the week of June 29, 1985 Hot 100: #5 Sales: #11 AirPlay: #5 The song could've peaked higher than #5. It peaked at #9 in sales and #4 in AirPlay I guess the released dates were mixed up. And it for sure would've gone at least #2 if Billboad allowed 12" singles to count. It's the first 12" single to be certified for 1M units in the USA (mainly because of the B-side, into the groove) Edited March 27, 2017 by EnjoyTheSilence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Down Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Recently, Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara was like #1 at radio but it didn't have nearly as much power in sales. Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato hit #1 on pop radio but peaked at #16 on the Hot 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoKoPaNdA Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am ok with Paramore getting radio'd hits last era because they used to slay digital w/their rock stuff but rock radio was such a small format this blocked Alicia's Girl On Fire, kind of. I think it was in the 40s on digital and #6 on the H100 thanks to radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first 12" single to be certified for 1M units in the USA (mainly because of the B-side, into the groove) Yeah, and Into The Groove went Top 20 on BB's R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. Obviously, at that time, 12" singles could count toward sales on that chart, but not the Hot 100. Since the B-Side was the bigger hit, I don't know why BB didn't switch sides. I know with Gloria Ganers (I probably misspelled her name) signature song, I Will Survive, was actually the B-Side, but BB counted it as the song on the Hot 100. Debates relating to BB's refusal to allow Groove on the Hot 100, and even excluded from the Airplay Chart, have raged on for decades, literally. Since Groove received more airplay than any other Madonna song, charting Angel instead of the much more popular Groove likely cost Madonna a #1 song. All of the other music magazines at that time (Radio and Records [the predecessor of MB] and Cashbox) did allow Groove to chart, and it at least went Top Five on both of those charts.

brianc33710 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This peaked at #8, with a #2 peak in airplay but barely reached the Top 20 in sales due to its availablity limited to a 12" vinyl song. While the parent album was the first Rap CD to sell 10 million copies, his label's choice to not release a cassette single cost Hammer from scoring raps first Hot 100's #1. That achievement belonged to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" later that same year (1990). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlock Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Weren't a lot of hits in the mid-2000s airplay driven, since physical single sales had fallen dramatically and it was before the digital era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
