UNNAMI Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 honestly I think WT will start slowing down right around 17th week of Despacito beacuse summer will be over and the third song will dethrone Despacito - like P!nk song or someone's new single
CBXC Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Why do people keep bringing up P!nk's song as if it's going to debut at number one? I know she's a consistent hitmaker, but her last number one was almost three and a half years ago, and it's not like it debuted there. If her single does that well, it'll probably take some time to get there.

Despacito is doing all the work for it. Decreasing at a faster rate in all metrics while WT stays put. If Taylor doesn't release before WT will go #1 by default. Not sure why that's so hard for some of y'all chart experts to see
mxoonlight Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I hope Cardi snatches #1 at some point in the next month, even if it's just for a week.

Not sure why that's so hard for some of y'all chart experts to see yes, I thought it will be losing for like 5-6 points, and it's gaining. but it's gaining 5-6 points. pretty stable. and when summer will end this song also will start losing points (that my wild thought)

QueenofCopyPaste Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 P!nk's releasing both the video and song tomorrow. Interesting.

Prince Diana's death happened before I was born, and I didn't experience the pop culture shock waves of that event.

Miss Bank$ Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Omg who knew Cardi B would become this big Dethrone them Cardi!

Sinister Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 7 hours ago, UNNAMI said: Despacito will break record because lack of competition. There's many more songs that would break the record - Uptown funk, hello, shape of you, closer, see you again but were stopped beacuse of competition. there's no one who can stop Despacito. If next year someone big will release around march-april and get #1 for many long AND someone else won't be releasing like this summer, another song can spend 12 or more at 1. Thats a weak argument to say lack of competition At the end of the day...Despacito had weekly points that were on par or even higher than all those songs you just listed I'm the One and Wild Thoughts are competition regardless of how you want to spin it If thats the case...i can easily say there was nothing to block OSD and thats why it held the record

Sinister Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Candle In the Wind is lowkey forgotten in the grand scheme of things...you will NEVER hear it unless you go out your way to Its not even one of Elton's top 10 streamed songs and i dont ever remember hearing it on the radio...Elton has hits more remembered...it hasnt carried over to the new generation Its not an easily recognizable tune and thats just the reality

My family specifically was very enthralled by Diana & her life and watched her death live as it happened. So naturally they know the song well and it carries down to me. But if your elders didn't pay as much attention, then you'd have to learn about it yourself if you are born after 1997.

Everything But The Girl then spent a few weeks in the runner up slot. The last few weeks it had at #1 was neither #1 on radio or sales. OSD got the advantage of a performance at the Grammys, which have it the edge the last two weeks at #1. OSD then fell 1-5, and had very little post peak longevity. Also, Macarena sold 4.3 M singles sold, compared with "just" 2.3 M for OSD.

If I am wrong here, please let me know. I know CITW 97 is on YouTube, the performance at the Church of Diana's service. Three weeks from now is the 20th anniversary of Diana's accident. John said that he would never perform that version again unless Princes William and Harry request John to do so.
Sgt. Pepper Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Speaking of Candle in the Wind, original Candle Wind>>>>Candle in the Wind 1997. I agree, CITW 1997 is one of the biggest song of all time. It was an event
