Yes

How slim is the gap in points?

I love lauryn but idk I feel like doo wop is more r&b and soulful than straight up rap like bodak. Bodak is the first solo female RAP #1 to me

Wait has simn taken into account the fact that Taylor is still #1 on US youtube last week?

I was wondering as well. With that 2M youtube lead, i think taylor could still snatch #1.

Don't think so. But she has chance for this week.

Can someone do a points breakdown between sales/radio/on demand/youtube for the two songs last week?

 

Or if its been posted, repost it :randy:

And in 20 years Cardi type rap will seem like something else compared to what rap will be then.

 

genres morph,marrow and change.

she only won R&B awards with a "rap song"

 

"Doo Wop (That Thing)" is included as number 359 on the Songs of the Century list.[citation needed] At the Grammy Awards of 1999, the song won two awards: Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.[2] The song's music video won four 1999 MTV Video Music Awards for: Best Female Video, Best R&B Video, Best Art Direction, and Video of the Year.

1M. It certainly is a lot closer than I initially thought, but BY should still get it

 

And very weird that on the overall top 20 they show 18.2M and on the Taylor artist page it's 22.1M. That happens sometimes, but then it's 2 different versions listed. This time it's just 1 and so different numbers

[Music Is Heaven]

At this point I mine as well wait for the official article. I can't tell if Cardi is locked or not.

Gotcha. Thanks for the stats.

Yeah i saw her at 22M on YouTube insights with a 2M lead and thought it was gonna give her the edge.

A song can fall under more than one genre. I find it hard to believe that people can't hear that Lauryn raps all of her verses on "Doo Wop," and just sings that chorus and the ab-libs. And the only reason it was submitted and won in R&B was to maximize Lauryn's nominations that year, as she competed in rap, pop and R&B that year. Still, "Doo Wop" is definitely a rap song with strong R&B roots to it. Besides, using the Grammys and VMAs to determine what's what is kinda futile. "Hotline Bling" won Rap and Hip Hop awards at both.

Yeah with the weird Youtube thing and the discount for the last few hours and BY slowing down at the end of the tracking week it got a lot closer than it initially looked...

Would still be very surprised if BY didn't get it 

 

Chances for Taylor to return next week are looking good though

Nah. Another incorrect number (assuming the numbers on Taylors artist page are correct, which they likely are)

It's hip hop and r&b. Don't play this little game.

Cardi b will be the 2nd solo female rapper with a rap song to hit #1 on the hot 100 and you will deal.

 

I can't believe people are going to disrespect a legend like Lauryn to downplay her song. Bodak is cute but let's not oversell ha
