The idea of one song being at #1 for 20+ weeks is so wild like this literally shouldn't happen with new songs coming out all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think they didnt need competition. First of all, remember that Royals went to #3 in Urban airplay (even 27 UAC) and Dark Horse reached #10-12 Urban airplay, but BB didn't let them chart on R&B/HipHop songs either. Check this out below: Blue On Black -- Five Finger Death Punch, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert (Country artist), and Brian May is more "Country" than OTR. The verses are completely Country, but with the chorus and solo it becomes "Metal." Here's the remix. The original 5FDP version here: is even more country, with some banjo and a "Countrier" sounding guitar toward the end of the solo. BOB is a Country/Metal hybrid, and would also rank in the Top Ten on Hot Country songs if BB allowed it to go there. Don't forget that BB never allowed "Royals" on the R&B/HH chart either, even though it was #3 on airplay. Likewise, "Dark Horse" was #10-12 in airplay, but BB didn't let it chart either.

Old Town Road and Blue On Black both have Country elements. But, Royals and Dark Horse received far more Urban airplay than OTR. But BB didn't put Royals or DH on its R&B/HipHop Chart. I don't think BOB has had any Country airplay, although I'm going to push Bobby Bones to try it after he gave love to OTR. So, no it's not automatically "racism." Also, "Thrift Shop" reached #13 on the Rock Airplay Chart, but only the 40s on Urban Airplay. And BB didn't cross TS over to Rock either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedastardly Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 After Mariah fans spent ages worrying about better songs beating her record, it's going to be trashed by ... Old Town Road. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Town Road. Heh. Yeah. UF deserved the record, as it was so huge in every metric. Despacito wasn't so much (I don't think ODS was that great, and UF and its MANY formats was WAY ahead in airplay), although 3 M sales going into early 2018 ain't bad. I do think OTR will reach 1.5 M, which I didn't expect anyone other than Adele to reach. But, UF looked unstoppable going into week 13 and bound for the record. Then SYA came out with the Fast and Furious movie that everyone went to see. So, in wk 14 all of a sudden UF had a contender, but SYA was off cycle (#10), so UF got to 14 wks, Then UF spent 3 more at #2 (which, w/o SYA. would've been 17 wks for UF). One more thing. Despacito was still selling 80k/wk when it was at 2.2 M, then it took a better part of a year to sell the other 800k copies. So, when OTR cuts off, it could do so super fast too.

I don't like SBS but if she blocks him that is one thing that song would be doing right. It's all because of Drake, Christopher hasn't scored a decent hit in a while.
