I would be SCREAMING if Despacito ends up just tying OSD and WT takes it away the week after

Oh My God, radio needs to really root hard for "Wild Thoughts" and I think they will as long as summer continues  

Its kinda slowing down on radio though.....

at this point I would rather see it getting 15 weeks just because no one has that. 15 or 17 please.

13th week is kind of on lock (last day of sales tracking tomorrow)

14th week is where it will reach 3 billion views

15th week is where it will face competition from P!nk

 

16th/17th week remains a mystery

 

Exciting times

 

 

[UNNAMI]

but I think it will get 17 week because Wild Thoughts won't be getting plus points every coming week, it will be going down, potentially 3-5 points/week but still. 16th week will be something like 400-410 for despacito 390-400 for WT

 

week 17th will be 380-390 for both

if they discount it?

And this is assuming Despacito doesn't lose more than 50 points per week. Keep in mind radio hasn't even really dropped it yet.

Honestly, do Luis and Daddy really care that much about breaking the record to actually discount it?

they may not but 

 

• their label will
• justin bieber label will
• scooter braun will

[Green]

If it's not Wild Thoughts, I think the next #1 could be Cardi B.  She's climbing really fast.

Justin is just a feature though; and I'm pretty sure Luis' label is in control of things like that.

 

Who knows...

Bodak Yellow give me female Black Beatles tea without the viral still stunts..esp when Pop Radio latches on it too

sis, didn't you know Scooter? he is fame-pressed bitch for his people

[QueenofCopyPaste]

Possible Despacito performance at VMAS on Aug 25th? That week would be perfect for the discount

Justin Bieber's label & Scooter Braun most likely have no control over the song.

 

Labels care about their profit, not records. They're more likely to leave it full price for longer, because it's selling "well".

he may not have power but definately he can call them and ask them to do something, explain record thing and tell them that breaking record is another promo for them and song

Seems like a lot of effort.

No Scooter Braun slander will be tolerated by me

 

 

[QueenofCopyPaste]

After P!nk, its most likely Sam Smith will release on August

 

Then maybe Taylor & Eminem on September

 

Cardi B will also likely perform on BET Hip Hop Awards on September

 

JT still on Q1 2018...

Just like old days, we get the Billboard article on Wednesday.

 

It's now August, and the #1 and #3 songs are January releases.

The greatest charting hits take time to build. Rather have that than one hot single that drops off the next week.
