Hot mess reminder

We are talking US charts here. What the song was doing globally is irrelevant. It wasnt doing much in the US pre Bieber. Thats the point.

And interesting that Daddy Yankee was also added as a feature to boost its popularity in the first place. I guess he saw the trick worked first time so repeated it with Bieber also to win over the US market. Anything for a hit I guess.

But even Bieber cant help it do much in other English speaking countries like UK/IRE/AUS/NZ/SA

Actually, Justin went to Luis Fonsi and asked if he could remix the song.

I don't think Bieber's lead will perform like Chained at all. Bieber has been slaying left and right since 2015 up until now. Despacito is another clear indicator people are thirsty for his music and his fanbase will come out in heaves when he releases anything.

WDYM?, Sorry, Love Yourself, WAUN, Let Me Love You, Cold Water, now Despacito... his only fail has been Company but that was probably just a case of not the right song. His other massive stuff since makes up for it.

Katy hadn't/hasn't had a huge hit since Dark Horse. She left the public on kind of a whimper with Birthday and This is How We D too. She waited way too long and I think Chained and Rise show the effects of that break. And she came back at a time that pop girls are all struggling on the Hot 100 more on top of it.

Tea.

Bieber reinvented himself with a sound that wasn't knew but the timing was right to bring it to the next level. Company was a case of overload of too many back to back hits and people needed a break. It's better than what do you mean? for sure...

Bieber is also a privileged male that can get away with more things than a female.

Katy's personality is cute for a moment but then it gets to be a turn off.

she basically had the world at her fingertips after the Teenage dream album and went with Prism. Now I like Prism and agree that you need 3 solid eras as a foundation before taking a drastic reinvention but she started off generic with Roar which was a rip off of that Brave song then tried that clunky ballad but the public said Dark Horse is it and she recovered big time but then dropped the ball again.

Birthday was horrible (video) and she purposely went against the concept that would have made it big (sexy and campy showing off her big balloons) the song slays and was a turn off then she took appropriation to a new level with This is how we do (I still love it IDC)...she needed to make the right type of video with Birthday, release This is how we do ft Iggy azalea and Legendary lovers.

Then she let taylor win without putting up a fight...even a random Choose your battle video and let too much time go by and all people had was her last releases which were not progressive and made her look like a joke.

Katy has alot of soul searching to do if she wants to get things back right because she really played herself with the decisions she made since 2014.

This should have been her definitive era. I hope she can score a 10th #1 hit because I'd hate to see her be so close and not achieve it.

Pull through Katy although I think too much air has been deflated from the balloons...I think it's a wrap but hope I am wrong.

Does anyone know, when was the last time we had 4 songs above 400 points?

Let's face it, without Bieber the song would have peaked at top 40 at best.

Yep.

I don't think it's a coincidence this is the first latino pop song to go Top 10 this decade (correct me if I'm wrong but I do not think so), and it goes Top 10 the week after Bieber's version comes out and is predicted to go Top 5 the following week?

Let's hope this opens the door for more spanish songs to smash higher up on the Hot 100. They've been some of the best songs of the past couple years. So infectious.

rae smurder, ed sheeran, Kendrick then hopefully Bruno can sneak in a week or so before Bieber comes through.

I wonder if Bieber is coming out with a new album this summer of fall. It would serve him well.

He wasnt added, ever since the release of the original version...he was a credited feature from the beginning.

The Cure

Quote

The song, which Lady Gaga premiered in her Coachella set April 16, enters the Hot 100 at No. 39. It charges in at No. 3 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 79,000 downloads sold in the week ending April 20, according to Nielsen Music.

"The Cure" also bows at No. 39 on the Pop Songs airplay chart.

It Ain't Me

Quote

At No. 13 on the Hot 100, down from its No. 11 high a week before (although up 5 percent in overall action), "It Ain't Me" soars 11-4 on Radio Songs. The song surges by 18 percent to 77 million in all-format airplay audience.

Say You Won't Let Go

Quote

The ballad backtracks to No. 17 from its No. 16 Hot 100 highpoint, but it, like "It Ain't Me," gains in overall metrics (up 9 percent) and enters the Radio Songs top 10. Arthur's breakthrough hit jumps 13-6 on the latter list, gaining by 14 percent to 75 million in audience.

Notably, "Say" is the No. 10-best-selling digital song of 2017 in the U.S., through April 20 with 571,000 downloads. It has sold 701,000 to date.

As long as it helps the quality ones and not more like this tragic mess that is "Despacito"

April 26, 2017

I don't know why some people are hating Despacito, I'm happy it's smashing on USA with the remix, It's good to see latin music and its culture smashing on Billboard Hot 100, Let's spread the diversity...

well blame Hot mess for telling me lies. I assumed he was the resident expert on the song as he defends it so passionately. In a sloppy way.

and i was talking about the US charts also.. the song was streaming and selling in the US before bieber (top 15 on youtube US, top 50 on spotify US and top 100 on itunes)

daddy yankee was added as a feature for the actual single release... it was originally recorded as a solo song before the writer suggested to add daddy yankee... you have no idea what you're talking about so log out

again, you sound angry because the song is doing so well... stay mad

definitely the #1 song in the world
