'Calm Down' becomes the longest-running Top 10 hit by a female artist in Canada


Recommended Posts

It surpasses "Bad Guy" as it spends its 43rd week in the Top 10 of the Canadian Hot 100, and is now only behind "Heat Waves" and "Blinding Lights" overall, which have charted for 45 and 56 weeks respectively within the region. 

 

The song is also 13 weeks away from tying "Levitating" as the longest-charting female song in the Top 100, period.

 

Elsewhere, "Calm Down" is also the song with most weeks ever spent in the Top 10 of France and Switzerland (45 and 54 respectively) and the longest-charting song in Pop radio history in the U.S., with 55 weeks and counting.

 

Below the full (as of yet) chart-run of this record-breaking smash :clap3:

Spoiler

100-94-34-25-17-17-19-19-20-21-38-32-44-34-18-16-25-25-24-30-7-6-7-7-5-6-4-3-3-4-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-2-4-4-5-5-5-7-9-7-8-9-9-9-20-10-8-16-8

This song would break almost all  Billboard US Hot 100 Records if it wasnt  removed cuz of the stupid “after 52 weeks —> recurrent if its bellow #25” rule. Its longevity is insane.

Humongous smash, the longevity is mind-blowing.

I believe the title should read “on the Canadian hot 100” and not “Canada”.  But I’m. Not sure

Canada LOVES Selena - I mean "Love You Like a Love Song" alone was a top 10 smash here and bigger than any of the Revival singles 

 

Imagine if it didn't drop out of the Hot 100 - it would still be top 5 on airplay

I was okay with it going recurrent cause I just assumed if Drake's album bomb wasn't going to push it out of the top 25, then Bad Bunny or Taylor's would but actually I think it would've ended up surviving those, so yeah it's really a shame, also because it was really close to hanging on and Drake's tracks proved to be really frontloaded. I'm not usually against recurrency rules but there is no chart system that should allow going #10-OUT under any circumstances if a song is stable on all the main components, or at least it should be allowed to re-enter the following week as all those album tracks inevitably fall off :shakeno:

I get what you're saying but I seriously doubt there's plenty of songs from before 2007 that even lasted 40+ weeks on the entire chart, let alone in the top 10. Songs nowadays tend to have much longer chart-runs in general

It was certified 7x Platinum four months ago in Canada so it's probably not going to take long, but certifications are not automatic so it's not a given that they'll update it as soon as it'll reach it. In any case, "It Ain't Me" was certified 9x Platinum there more than 2 years ago so it's likely that was her first song to technically reach Diamond status. RIAA (unfairly) doesn't credit Selena on the certification unfortunately, but at the rate it's going I guess in 2-3 years it might be Diamond eligible. A lot comes down to how well it holds up on streaming in the next years.

And it's definitely going to get a major boost like all the biggest hits of the year come NYE. At that point it will still have enough points to chart in the top 25 on top of gaining in performance from the previous week in every metric and, since those are the requirements for a re-entry, maybe Billboard will let it chart again. The rules are pretty iffy though, and I think there's a chance they only grant the opportunity to re-enter to hits that got kicked out by Christmas songs only and in that case Calm Down would be out for good.

If it was gonna smash regardless, why didn’t the solo version smashed? I mean, the version is out in every platform. There’s nothing stopping people of listening it

Because of course the label put an American on the song to make it more “marketable” it’s pretty common sense. They do this with Bieber all the time too. It was already all over socials before she got picked to be on the remix

If the label made the song more marketable but remixing it with an american, you're telling me that this is the reason why people listen to the new version, right?

 

I ask you again, if not: why didn’t the solo version smashed? :bird:

Because the version exists with a recognizable name. Hope this is clear enough. My opinion was an opinion. It’s okay to disagree. Let’s give it up to Rema on an amazing song and congrats on all his success

Yes, now you really made it clear, thanks for  answer what i wanted to know. Recognizable name = smash song, that’s why Selena’s remix is the smash version of the song :bird:

Except every other attempt to seize upon the potential and virality of an Afrobeats song by remixing it with an American singer proves you wrong. The Bieber remix of "Essence" has less streams than the original (129M vs 206M) and the same goes for Camila Cabello's remix of "KU LO SA" (277M vs 33M). The Ed Sheeran remix of "Peru," while bigger than the original (284M vs 99M), hardly made the song explode in popularity, and all of his numerous other collabs in the same genre flopped. The new Travis Scott remix of "Water" is most definitely poised to come and go as well. Since this is all direct proof that adding a recognizable name to a viral song doesn't mean it's automatically going to make said song several times more successful, the only reasonable explanation for the blockbuster success of "Calm Down" is that people dig what Selena brings to the song specifically.

That doesn't detract from this being Rema's song first and foremost so all props to him, but also credit where credit's due. :giraffe:
