Wow.  We are really in a drought.

It is but not because of this song. This iis genuinely huge and a monster. It’s dead because new music is making no noise

[UnusualBoy]

Imagine how tired we are of that horrible song, we need NEW smashes…

Also because the top 1p refuses to die 

[awong918]

It's a good song 

[RihFenty20]

A BAWP, I knew it was an instant smash the moment I heard it but it’s also serving insane longevity 

[Green]

The top 3 of the decade will probably be Blinding Lights, Stay and Levitating

[Ger]

This damn song is never going to die y'all.

It’s only 2022…

Will Christmas songs like AIWFCIY count on the decade chart? It could have 50+ weeks in the top 10 and ~20+ at number one this decade if the status quo continues.

Nicki keeps releasing every week, why cant she hit no. 1 of music is dead?

[Trent W]

I love this song tbh, it has been in the top 10 since like July last year?

 

It’s going to get close to Levitating and Blinding lights

 

I wonder if this is going to keep happening through the decade, it’s kind of becoming a trend within the big smashes to stay years in the top spots.

[enchanted0]

ngl it's a bop

[cashmoneybabygrande]

Oh no

[Triton]

What’s the point difference compared to #1? 
 

I’m surprised Scooter hasn’t discounted it, maybe a performance on SNL or a commercial to send it to #1

he probably doesn't want to or can't since the guy on the song moved managers. they got the #1 anyway, and it'll probably end up being in the top 10 decade end list.

[ClashAndBurn]

Considering how weak those Heat Waves points are, I could see Stay going back to #1 just by outliving it on radio. Which would be WILD.

 

Charts are kinda dead right now, and not for a lack of new releases. The Weeknd, Camila Cabello/Ed, Nicki/Lil Baby, Megan/Dua, etc. have all been releasing. They've just flopped and nobody wants to listen to their songs, especially after the first week.

I really don't understand the success of this song, why is it so liked?

Charts are dead for new songs. The old songs are shining.

I see 1 prediction with Stay #4 & another #2. Olivia Rodrigo could probably get a G4U remix & get it back to the Top 10 at this point (that'd make a lot of y'all on here happy lol ?). The predictions are only for the Top 10 but are T 15s b/c the point differences are that super close. Stay is already projected #27 GOAT going into this coming week. It could & looks like will jump Levitating for #2 2020s in the next 2-3 weeks.

[brianc33710]

OK per Pulse Stay trails Blinding Lights by 660k inverse but behind Levitating by only 90k. Levitating at #2 still has a solid real points lead though 1.279 million, close to 380k. Stay is still (for now) only #9 for 2020s, 906k real points total.
