sunbleach Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I'm not really a fan of Despacito and I don't really get its success. There have been better reggaeton songs in the past few years that were far more deserving of seeing this kind of success – like Bailando.

Memphis Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Notice how it's always the same people who can't keep Justin out their mouths for more than a day. Poor them. Let it all out girls but if you're that bothered during his 'break' then you'll be in hell when he actually starts releasing his own music. Can't wait for the meltdowns and essays!

fridayteenage Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Got warned last time I dared to talk about Digital Songs in the Hot 100 thread, but I’ll risk it: Despacito #1, I’m the One #2 Last week I’m the One #1, Despacito #2 I wonder if this’ll be the T2 for awhile; to compare: 1 & 4 was the best co-existence for Let Me Love You/Cold Water. 2 & 7 for What Do You Mean/Sorry. 1 & 3 for Sorry/Love Yourself a couple of weeks, with Adele blocking owning the T2 Iggy got 1 & 2 with 3 weeks Problem on top then 3 Fancy.

Rico Shameless v2 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 4 hours ago, Rentboy said: All this talk of him breaking records as if these are his own solo efforts. Most other big artists dont release songs with 5 major artists on it. Nor do they hop on an already huge global smash just to make it more palatable for English speaking nations. He's getting way too much credit and y'all know it. Creatively his input is minimal on both tracks. But fans are so thirsty for those chart receipts theyll include anything & everything. 3 hours ago, alfonso12 said: This tea. No tea. These efforts wouldn't be possible without his own achievements, so shut that down. No one's saying he did anything magnificent on either track. I don't even like either one of them. The thing you keep overlooking is the simple fact he's the majority reason why these songs took off. Khaled himself said he yearned to get Bieber on a track. Justin made the decision himself to do Despacito, but he heard it in a club where it was obviously influential. It's not like he did extensive research of how it was already a global hit. It taking off in America, all the way to #1, is because of him. It would've been a recognizable Latin hit in the T40 otherwise. These are simply facts, no one's making up anything & everything. Simple minded ones. But as stated, he wouldn't have these opportunities without the backbone of his own career and brand. No matter if someone works with a ton of acts (common in hip-hop actually, but these tracks don't top the chart (without Bieber apparently, but crucify him and his pull)) or if they remix a track, taking it further (Drake's done this time and time again, they just haven't topped the chart).

Green Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Soko spent one week in the chart because it went viral. It's more comparable with Gaga's Dope. Chained to the Rhythm has been there for 3 months. It's not a smash but it was a decent hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You came for someone, who came for someone that said it was a smash It's a small hit and for a Katy lead single a heavy under performance. Streams? Radio is the metric it did by far the best in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrychapstick Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Did I categorically agree with the "smash" label that the previous poster gave CTTR? No. Stop acting like I did. That's why I said CTTR is a hit, and it doesn't matter how it underperformed. Yes, why not streams? It has more than 400 million combined streams, and growing, on YouTube and Spotify. Radio? It's not as relevant as a popular-song metric worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be relevant worldwide, but this is the United States Billboard Hot 100 thread, so it's certainly relevant here. 400 million streams worldwide is different than 400 million streams in the US when judging if a song was a hit in the US. "Chained To The Rhythm" massively underperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said you did, but the comparision that came up as a respone is understandable. Smash is the 1 extrem and that is the other extreme. Truth is obviously in the middle. And of course the situation of the single / artist is massively important in judging how big of a hit a song was. So yeah it does matter that it underperformed. 400M streams in 2017 is nothing. And this is the US charts thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
