official chart Billboard Charts (August 3-19, 2017)

[Cheers]

iTunes U.S

1. Friends

2. Despacito (+1)

 

16 weeks @ #1 here we come 

[iHype.]

If Despacito hits 17 weeks, it will be time to acknowledge "Near You"'s record.

Back when UF! Was smashing I brought up evidence that Near You actually didn't spend 17 weeks. It had 17 on a component chart but nowhere near 17 on the other component charts. It also only hit 11 or 13 weeks iirc on the then Top 10 Overall chart (I forget the exact name - you can search it in old ass Billboard magazines that are publicly available online)

I'm disgusted

[kyris89]

Come on Despacito, break that record 

[Torturo]

So if Taylor snatches #1 debut how much weeks at #1 will Despacito have?

Taylor needs to hurry up and release her lead single, we can’t make this garbage break Mariah’s record

8/25 for Taylor

Taylor might debut at #1, but Despacito is going #1 the week after.

We'll see if Taylor's single will be good enough to get great streaming numbers in second week  

[Blue Honeymoon]

Taylor will debut at #1 unquestionably, but I think Cardi B will snatch the top spot the week after.

[JosephT]

It's getting more exciting right now, especially for next week on award

[Kots]

Not people doubting Taylor's power to stay atop on her second week  

[FanOfPop]

If I'm correct and Taylor will debut at #1 she will become the first solo artist to do so with three songs right?

Omg @ the thought that Rih Anne would have 17 number ones if this wasn't the case 

17 #1s and 0 #2 would be insanely lucky

[alexis]

I just neee Despacito to get 16 weeks

Doesn't Mariah also have three #1 debuts?

Edit: Yes, she does - "Fantasy", "One Sweet Day" and "Honey".

Rihanna at #2 on the Hot 100: blocked all 3 times by the legit biggest hits of the century so far

 

We Belong Together (14 weeks at #1) blocks Pon De Replay

I Gotta Feeling (14 weeks at #1) blocks Run This Town

Despacito (15+ weeks at #1) blocks Wild Thoughts

This is oddly satisfying. My OCD likes this. Sucks for rihanna tho lol
