looks like in 2020 future only had one t10 hit, so that's def an upward trajectory

 

Oh I didn't know this. Feels very BTS, but he is a boybander I suppose.

Did Styles do this trying to keep #1? I assume he returns next week though.

No, next week is most likely going to be for Jack due to his album release.

He / His label want to break EOM/Hello weeks at #1 :coffee2:

Drake is so out of place on this list :deadbanana4: tying Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson when his recent hits are flash in the pan garbage like Toosie Slide, Way 2 Sexy, What's Next, or this quick feature

 

Great for Tems though :heart:  she has a beautiful voice and vibe and I hope she continues to get hits

How is he out of place in the list? As a Rihanna fan, your lack of self-awareness is amazing. Drake has 4 1-week #1 hits and if I remember clearly, so does Rihanna, so what are the drags for? Drake also has 3 10-week #1 hits as a lead artist (2 of them as a solo artist), while only 1? of Rihanna's 14 #1 hits ever reached the 10-week mark? Again, what are you kii-ing about? I'm so confused. 

 

This is a list of artists with the most cumulative weeks at #1:

87 Mariah Carey

79 Elvis Presley

60 Rihanna

59 The Beatles

53 Drake

50 Boyz II Men

 

This is a list of artists with the most #1 hits: 

20 The Beatles

19 Mariah Carey

18 Elvis Presley

14 Rihanna

13 Michael Jackson

12 Madonna

12 The Supremes

11 Whitney Houston

10 Drake

10 Janet Jackson

10 Stevie Wonder

 

Drake has 10 #1 hits but has spent more weeks at #1 than Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, the Supremes, Madonna & Michael Jackson. 

 

Again, I ask, how is he out of place on the list, especially when none of his #1 hits are because of radio payola, bundles or some other chart gimmick?

Drake went from 5 straight 8+week #1s (One Dance, Work, God's Plan, Nice For What, In My Feelings) to 4 single-week #1-OUT songs (Toosie Slide, What's Next, Way 2 Sexy, Wait For U) :deadbanana2: talk about consistency (or lack there off) I guess

Of course this song could still have legs but I think it's a fair assumption

 

All those #1 hits went on to be sizeable hits. Even What's Next, which only spent 3 weeks in the top 10 and has moved 3M units in the US. Toosie Slide spent 10 weeks in the top 10 while Way 2 Sexy spent 9 weeks in the top 10. Wait for U also seems like it'll be spending some time in the top 10 so what's the drag for? I really don't get it. I can list off over a dozen other #1 hits this decade that have performed a lot worse. 

 

There have been 43 #1 hits so far this decade. 26 of them spent 1 week at #1, 4 of them spent 2 weeks at #1, 3 of them spent 3 weeks at #1, 2 of them spent 4 weeks at #1, 2 of them spent 5 weeks at #1, 2 of them spent 7 weeks at #1, 2 of them spent 8 weeks at #1, 2 of them spent 10 weeks at #1 and 1 of them spent 11 weeks at #1.

 

35 of the 43 #1 hits so far this decade have spent less than 5 weeks at #1 so it's not just a Drake thing. Several artists are scoring #1 hits that aren't having any longevity at the top spot.

In my later post I explained that it just feels out of place for the four recent #1s which only got to the top via a album bomb rather than the song's own merit. If anything, I'm shading the streaming era more than Drake :rip: I 100% agree with you that it's not just a Drake thing. There's plenty of other recent #1s that did mych worse; if BTS or Travis were in this list it'd be even more outta place. Just feels weird that these huge legacy artists are all gonna be usurped by random quick debuts. I'd be saying the same if Taylor got to this list with cardigans and willows, or if Rihanna ever unretired and did the same. 

 

49 of Drake's 53 weeks atop are absolutely deserved, and his first 6 #1s (+ honorary mentions HB and SM) are classics. It's just that he went from consecutive 8+ week runs with broad appeal to frontloaded debuts that fell off. I mean you just can't compate TS/WN/W2S to One Dance or In My Feelings. It's not that they only spent a week on top, it's that they only got that week from a streaming bomb. Several of Whitney's hits, for example, only did 1 week, but there was at least a natural climb and genuine love for the song. For what it's worth I also find Rihanna's #1 week for S&M quite sketchy, but her other 1-weeks, such as What's My Name, seem legit to me. It's just so easy for artists (not just Drake) to debut at #1 this decade so far and doesn't seem fair to compare 2020s #1s to the pre streaming era.

I hate Future because of how badly he treated Ciara who didn’t deserve any of that, but you need to add his name to the thread title :rip:

Oh sh*t, I had forgotten about that, poor CiCi. Good thing is that she gaves us the gem "I Bet" because of it. :heart2:

Okay that’s fair, lol.

 

Despite my personal feelings on Future, I give credit where it’s due and he really proved me wrong by becoming an undisputed rap icon of the 2010s-2020s. You basically can’t go out to a bar/club outing without hearing him at least once.

This crap needs to stop honestly with these album bombs. Like they aren’t actual singles, so why should they be included? They going to peak and be off in a week or two and the same will happen with jack, Kendrick, and bunny. Like they need to reevaluate this chart and stats. Also, a hit shouldn’t be if you reach the top 40. It should be based on weeks more. Like the motto, she’s all I wanna be, Peru, I love you so, and get into it yuh are well more known than any future song that charted this week. So, they need changes changes and more changes.

Lil Baby and Morgan

How is Lil Baby that big and local? :deadbanana2:

I like trap music but I've never listened to single song of his. What's his biggest hit?

I get your point with the streaming era and how seemingly easy it is to get #1 debuts and top 10 debuts now but think about it for a minute: if Rihanna's 8-albums-in-8-years run that she went on from 2005-2012, when she was at the height of her commercial powers, happened during the streaming era (let's say from 2016-2023), she'd also have lots of top 10 debuts and probably #1 debuts from album bombs, too. 

 

I get how annoying album bombs can seem and how the top 10 debuts from them can seem illegitimate but in truth, they aren't.

 

Some artists can manage several top 10 debuts with their albums but that doesn't mean it's easy to pull off. You still need to get people to stream several songs off your album loads of times for them to debut anywhere on the Hot 100, yet alone the top 10 or #1. 

 

The streaming era is really just a sign of the times we're in. This is how music is consumed now. It'd be wrong for artists to get several songs off their albums to individually pull loads of streams and not have that level of engagement be represented on the Hot 100 so I kinda get why Billboard allows album bombs. 

 

If anything, it's become the best way for an artist to demonstrate their streaming powers. I can't say I have a problem with that.

This!

 

I don't think he did it on purpose to shade Future. It's hilarious though :skull: Rapper is slaying the Billboard charts  :clap3:

Love them all but they all needed to go (besides IHU it was kind of early for that one to go but oh well SZA has much better songs so I’m not really mad about it - maybe she’ll finally release that album)

I see your point, that makes sense that it's a more accurate reflection. Drake is just a visible and successful recipient of the added transparency of streaming, I suppose.

I guess the older acts just fall in a different category in my head so I think of them as separate eras and achievements, but oh well
