But still long run till "Despacito" lost its pretty big points average and "Wild Thoughts" climb to the top. And if so, this is just the case when no one even bigger releases. 3 hours ago, simmnfierzig said: Yeah it certainly seems stronger than all the other stuff out right now not named Despacito. Not that that is saying super much... Seeing how high Despacito's points are, does that mean its fall from #1 points wise will be a sudden collapse? or will it just slowly decline? I really don't see how Wild thoughts is going to be able to bridge that gap seeing as they threw everything at it for week 1. Rihanna isn't about to live perform it and the video card has been used. We have to just rely on huge airplay gains and stable sales/streaming rather than burst of points one week to take the #1 and just hope it can out last Despacito when that starts to fall and nothing else threatens it

If "Wild Thoughts" can sell steadily and be streamed steadily (radio is obviously here for it) I can see this topping the chart at some point (if Taylor or someone else won't release sooner). This song can be another "Starboy"/"That's What I Like" song.

Letters From Adi Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I feel like WT will peak at #2. I don't think Rih is getting another #1 until her lead single

Ash12345 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 The gap between #1 and #2 is like the gap between #2 and #50. Hell beat mariah.

Y'all love to talk about cultural appropriation for other artist though. it doesn't matter it was spanish or polish or german. he just heard song, like it so he asked if he can be part of it. just for fun. if that would happen in Poland and he would heard like Natalia Nykiel song and ask her can he be in remix of that song and if she would agree - so be it. It doesn't mean he need to learn all polish words for Nykiel's song or what. he did it just for fun and that's all. also that's nothing bad for Luis Fonsi and his pals. That song was already huge and Justin just give if final push in U.S. for that matter, in Poland Despacito is number one song for like month already and radios are playing orginal version, not justin's.

September 9 - 16th ??? September 16 - *breaks Mariah's record* ??? Taylor needs to release at least August 11th or 18th Friday exactly to dethrone Despacito...if she releases later than August 18th, Despacito is on course for Mariah's record you are actually wrong. you are using Billboard's dates but. monday June 19 - despacito scored sixth week, so: June 26 - 7th July 3 - 8th July 10 - 9th July 17 - 10th July 24 - 11th July 31 - 12th August 7 - 13th August 14 - 14th August 21 - 15th (data from August 11 to 17) August 28 - 16th (data from August 18 to 24) so if Taylor (or someone else) won't release August 18 Despacito will align Mariah record data from August 25 to 31 will be the most important because if that time Despacito still will be winning, then on September 4 Despacito will score 17th week at #1 and will break Mariah Carey record for longest #1 at hot 100

Imo Wild Thoughts won't top the HOT 100. Look at I'm The One also by DJ Khaled. It debuted at number one with over 550 points and it's still number two this week. Based on predictions WT won't even debut top 5 this week. If it can't get above 400 points during its debut week (with a mv) it really can't top the hot 100 in the long run, especially because there won't be another music video to boost song streams later on.

A lot of songs don't top the chart at the first week. Rihanna herself didn't do it with "Work" and the music video was released the same day as the audio (if I'm correct).
QueenofCopyPaste Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Despacito will peak once its gonna peak on radio
