charts discussion Chart essentials: Harry #1 (x11);Nicki #3;Bad Habit #4;OneRepublic #12;BlackPink #22

Points between #2, #3 and #4 are very close so Super Freaky Girl or even Bad Habit could be #2

Radio needs to pick up Bad Habit harder

[Taylena]

Pink Venom would be a top 10 without radio.

They really do, it's been a slow rise but I would love to finally hear it on radio (as I've unfortunately haven't... yet). Luckily, it's one of my most played and favorite songs of the year!

[Protocol]

Impressive hold for Nicki. Looks like this one's a real hit. 

[Ger]

I'm interested to see if Pop radio is going to fully embrace BH, that could be a deal breaker, who knows.

 

AIW collecting those weeks atop with ease since April.

That Sia song still climbing.

Pink Venom

[Nip Tuck]

SFG radio is so low damn

[trainsskyscrapers]

Wow! "Break My Soul" on autopilot in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 , and album cuts "Alien Superstar"?, "Cuff It" ?, and "Church Girl" ? lasting a FOURTH WEEK? 

 

Unprecedented. 

[Symmetra]

Radio weighs too damn much.

it had good streaming and sales and it’s radio is slowly picking up. i agree that her other #1s were fraudulent but this one shows signs of stability and gp support

Yea but would probably be around #7 without those sus sales.

[Moonlight Nation]

OneRepublic coming to join the elite of acts with top 10 hits in three consecutive decades 

 

Shame it came at the expense of "Hold My Hand", though. I'm one of the few who really loves that song, and it deserved to perform better.

No it would have remained in the top 5 because people were actually BUYING the song as well.

Sis, sales are dead, no ******* way a new song would be doing more than 20k in the 2nd week

Considering how a kpop act can't line up 1s anymore after the reform and the mixed reviews I thought we'd be lucky to get Pink Venom in top 50 so this is great!!!

BTS still has a chance for a #1 debut if they release multi remix at debut week and release a physical CDs and Cassettes at the same time.

 

the fact that Bad Decisions debut at #10 with only 1 version available (and not a comeback song) is a sign that they still have power to debut at #1 if they want.

 

Pink Venom could debut in the top 10 if they have multi remix or collab with western artist, 
too bad they are wasted their last chance for a top 10 hit on billboard hot 100.

I don’t see her next single will be bigger than this

This is already great, as as I said. The next single in September won't (unless it's a gp smash no one expected and let's be real those are very rare and unpredictable and likely won't happen in BPs career ) because the pre releases always go highest since there's only one song to focus on. They don't have the fandom power to push them to 1 and their team never bothers to do remixes as you mentioned. Late debut on radio doesn't help at all and the VMAs today won't either. Our goal for the upcoming era isn't a record on H100 but high placement on BB200 anyway.
