Congratulations to Dua!

At this point, Heat Waves, Levitating, Blinding Lights, and Stay will occupy the top 10 of Billboard’s All Time Hits if Billboard does not recalibrate its formula.

[TaylenaStan]

If they dont chance the formula by  2025 the whole top 20 will be filled with 2010's/2020's songs

Exactly. 
 

By the latter half of this decade, the entire top twenty will be filled with songs from the late 2010’s and 2020’s simply due to the fact that streaming, as well as radio airplay - whose numbers are so low right now that it keeps songs of which are months old in high rotation forever - are helping songs sustain on the Hot 100 for 60/70/80+ weeks now.

This just shows how metrics are all messed up ever since streaming took over, nothing else.

It's like saying Blinding Lights is the biggest song of all time

Stay is already #21 on the all time list and it's currently #2 on the Hot 100

 

It will probably end as the 2nd biggest song of all time after Blinding Lights

The gays WON, Levitating is such a happy song with gay energy around it

I thought Billboard removed DaBaby’s credit? Do you stan that homophobic man? 

Majority of the song's units comes from the DaBaby's remix. I stan neither of them but this songs success was partly due to him, nothing will change that.

This. Streaming has honestly become more faithful to the 'most popular songs every week' label the BB Hot 100 is attached to. The digital and physical eras were very 'buy once and thats it', we don't know if recurring listens of the purchased mediums happen. While repeated listens is a useless metric in terms of commercial benefit, it really proves how often people really love the songs/albums. Streaming has solved that issue.

I agree. Not to mention that with streaming music is simply being consumed more than in the past, so lots of recent hits getting this high on the all time lists only makes sense to me 

[BlackoutZone]

An absolute classic that will be diamond certified too  People remain seething, but it's still smashing

[Mariano]

In reality it's not even top 20, but congrats

It doesn't feel half as big as the other songs.. 

 

The new system is wack. 

 

My straight environment still hear it and ask me if it's Katy perry

[mrpartyrocker]

The fact that this song hasn’t even gone #1 compared to the others on the list, proves how massive it has been!!

So this means it's the 11th biggest female song of the 21st century because the 10th biggest female song is Family Affair by Mary J. Blige

The fact that EVERY SINGLE SONG beneath it was bigger, commercially and culturally. 

I wouldn’t say No One or All About That Bass were bigger tbh
