Boston is #1 on Billboard Country airplay this week: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bulletins.billboard.com/country/country_update_2026_0918.pdf

Speaking of Moving to the Sun, did it decline again this week and get moved to ACR status?

I know she has IWDWS (in the 80s) and this one (in the 90s). Was the other one in the 70s (maybe she was featured on some hit with Dionne Warwick) or 2000s (in her 'crack is whack' era)?

Put Olivia Rodrigo on a remix, and Crying on the Tennis Court might do well on the charts.

No recurrents again this week on Pop, but looking ahead to next week, Speed Demon and House Tour are finally eligible to go recurrent.

I felt that Bebe moving to Pop and Maren moving to Country were big mistakes. I felt like Bebe fit the Country audience better and Maren fit the Pop audience better.

Actually, it's the 2021 songs (like Levitating) that are benefitting because of a weird multiplier. That year is getting a 0.8 multiplier (which is higher than 2019 and 2020) and way higher than 2022-present. As a result, Mood is ranked higher than songs like Perfect, Sunflower, and Heat Waves. Billboard needs to fix this. I don't really care if Blinding Lights loses its #1 ranking. No one will take the Decade End seriously if Mood is ranked higher than Heat Waves because that doesn't reflect reality.

lol, the following tracking week is over. The ARIA chart is going to be released in a matter of hours. Why did they wait so long to publish this?

Candyman >>>>>>

Replace the second song with Most Girls and you've got a deal.

How the heck did this get nominated over Divide, though? I can't name you a song off here to save my life. Shape of You and Perfect were two of the biggest hits that year. If it's based on merit, then Ed deserved the nomination over Lorde.

Yes, this one aged so badly, almost immediately after release.

If they wanted a country song, why not go with CT instead of a song that's falling everywhere else. Then again, the Ari and Olivia songs were payloaed and didn't age well after their quick trips to the top.

By the way, where is the Global 200 for this week? Did Billboard discontinue these charts?

LongeviQuestVitantonio Lovallo, Europe's Oldest Man, Dies at 112Vitantonio Lovallo, the oldest living man in Europe, passed away yesterday in Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy, at the age of 112 years, 171 days.Vitantonio Lovallo, the oldest living man in Europe, passed away yesterday in Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy, at the age of 112 years, 171 days. Lovallo was born in a vineyard in the hamlet of Avigliano, Basilicata, Italy, on 28 March 1914. His first job was a shepherd, which he acquired aged 16. He met his future wife in town, where she had been sent to recover from pleurisy. They married in 1936. Their daughter Lucia was born in 1938, followed by their son Vincenzo in 1940, who died a few months later from meningitis. Another daughter, Maria, was born in 1946, and a second son in 1952. His wife passed away in 2015 at the age of 98 from leukemia. During World War II, Lovallo fought on the front lines. He was in Bari, and was held prisoner in Corfu for a time. After the war's end, he returned to his homeland and found employment as a muleteer. Following the death of Michele Cicora on 31 March 2024, Lovallo became Italy's oldest living man. He is the first male from the region of Basilicata to attain supercentenarian status. Following Ilie Ciocan's passing on 27 May 2026, Lovallo became the Oldest Living Man in Europe. At the time of his passing, he was the second-oldest living person in Italy, after Lucia Laura Sangenito, as well as the third-oldest living man, after João Marinho Neto and Ken Weeks. Following his passing, it's believed Portuguese Joaquim Varela, 111, succeeded him as the oldest living man in Europe, while 109-year-old Angelo Peressini became Italy's oldest living man. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Vitantonio Lovallo during this difficult time.
