other stats Female Hot 100 #1's and their Sales/Radio Peaks (Physical Singles era)

[Green]

There are obviously many female artists with #1's during the physical singles era, but I'm posting the Sales/Airplay peaks of the #1 Hot 100 hits for some of the biggest female artists of the 80's/90's and early 00's (1984-2004).

 

I'm doing it since 1984 because that was the year when Billboard started to publish the component charts separated (Singles Sales and Hot 100 Airplay) until 2004 because the Hot 100 started to include Digital Sales in 2005.

 

***At the end of November of 1991 Billboard started to use Soundscan for the Hot 100. Some #1's like "I Don't Wanna Cry" (Mariah Carey) and "The Promise of a New Day" (Paula Abdul) wouldn't have been #1 if Billboard had used Soundscan earlier that same year.

Xtina’s stats are amazing. Britney’s stats are so bad lol; it’s funny how she still doesn’t have a Radio Airplay #1 and it’s been over 20 years.

This was before Billboard used the Nielsen Soundscan & BDS data for the Hot 100. They still used their sales & airplay data from playlists.

All went #1 in the sales chart and went at least top 15 on radio, how are they weak?

Gurl back then, radio and sales were like streaming today. Imagine a song peaking at #15 on Streaming and being #1 on Hot 100

 

Also, the pysical songs had pre-order system that lasted for months, that's why so many songs have a #1 peak on the physical singles chart.

Plus in Honey & My All's cases,  R&B radio wasn't even included on the Radio Songs chart at the time.

IWALY dominating in all categories.

Promise of A New Day has long been brought up as one of the most suspect #1 case. it literally makes 0 sense

How does a song spend so long at #1 on the Hot 100, but not nearly as long on the components that make up the chart

Because No Doubt's Don't Speak (which spent 16 weeks at #1 on Radio at that time) couldn't chart on the Hot 100 because it didn't have physical single release

 

And R. Kelly (I Believe I Can Fly) was #1 on Sales for more weeks but it had lower airplay than Toni

[UseYourIllusion2002]

The Promise of A New Day  I love that song but would it have even reached the top 10? 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

Madonna hits being legit though  the fact that Justify My Love went #5 on BDS radio and Erotica going #2 despite them being controversial and all she does is talk and moan   Truly queen of the early 90s. 

[tiagol88]

Madonna is actually more or less similar for both sales and airplay. Not really huge discrepancies...

[Mystic Boy]

The amount of quick #1s in the 80s and 90s

i firgured Dont Speak was probably responsible

[Shirlene]

Someday was #1 on BDS for 10 weeks?  That was Pop radio then, right?

Independent women being 11 weeks on top  a smasha
