charts discussion Final predictions (10/19): Shaboozey #1 (x14), The Weeknd #12 (-9)

[LatinFreak]

I'll take these stale ass songs over the dumb cheesy Xmas music that's coming up... 

[dreampop]

The US charts need ACR asap! and the top 10 should be filled with radical optimism singles  

[CherryBay]

I see 5 classics in top 10 

Nah 

At least no HipHop Rap and Drake songs

[MatiRod]

"Taste", "Birds of a Feather", "Good Luck, Babe!" are A+ pop songs though

[Afterglow]

Yeah it's a boring time for pop. 

[Wicked]

Them same exact songs are all in the top 10 streaming chart except Beautiful Things, so why is radio being blamed (and Bar Song would still be #1)

Charts look how they always look, bland and boring with few outliers. 

[Zaynsus]

Can BOAF go #1 already ? We're tired 

[Relampago.]

I have never heard that Bar Song…

 

Also that Post song needs to go

[Life Savers]

Lose Control is the one that sends me. Will it be there forever? 

[despy]

I love seeing Taste still dominating after so many months. Truly deserved for such a gorgeous song !

[Cruelest Summer]

one of the most interesting years of pop (Ariana, Dua, Taylor, Billie, Chappell, Charli, Sabrina) and the #1 is still held by that song... espresso and good luck, babe! deserved... birds of a feather we are with you, end the reign of terror

[Sweetestsecret]

Weeknd can't have a song with longevity. 

[TrieLz]

Benson baby back to Top 10 

[Miles.]

ABS increasing?  A nightmare, literally a nightmare

 

Taylor... Billie... Mariah... someone save us  

[Elementary]

How many points did Thriller get last year? If only it could repeak this year…

[RoseBud]

 

 

  Oh Shaboozey dominating all of those boring lady songs.  Everyone loves this song so let's just enjoy A Bar Song while we all can before all that holiday music takes over !

[Taemira]

Shaboozey deserves all the success. such a hot daddy

I checked the predictions for the last 3 years and this is what I got:

 

2021 - 98 points (though predictors incorrectly predicted Bad Habits would reach #1; Thriller charted at #19)

 

2022 - 141 points (Midnights Week 2; Thriller charted at #26)

 

2023 - 119 points (1989 TV Week 1; Thriller charted at #21)

 

This year, Thriller gets the full tracking week with Halloween falling on a Thursday. This could be the year it all comes together.

The gap would be too big for it to reach #1, it seems it would need at least double the points, but maybe top 3 is within reach, just maybe.

It would need 270 points at least to have a chance. I don't think it will happen

 

Maybe top 10

Old Time Toad was a quick viral moment. I don't even hear that song anywhere anymore. ABS is a legit massive hit here in the same vein as As It Was. 

Old Town Toad lol 😆! I can see frogs 🐸 line dancing 🕺 in the streets! That would've made a great parody 🤣 of OTR!

[Sweetestsecret]

Congratulations to Billie. #2 is great. But I hope she will fall soon cause I want Espresso to have a new peak! 

 

[Miley Cyrus]

Weeknd went from longest running top 10 of the decade (54 weeks) —> 1 week in the top 10 and OUT

 

Are we about to see a Katy Perry level decline?

 

[Miley Cyrus]

Also Lose Control is 2 weeks away from tying 2023 mega smash "hit" Last Night for weeks in the top 10
