It's definitely Drake. Hotline Bling and One Dance definitely tip the scale in his favor. One Dance is sixth most streamed song all-time on Spotify.

Make that 4 weeks at #1 for Be By You on Billboard Country airplay: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bulletins.billboard.com/country/country_update_2026_0911.pdf Boston should take over at #1 next week. Looks like drop dead is going to beat it there.

I just found this article (from The Guardian last month) that focused on RMI, and why despite it being the longest running #1 of all-time, some people have never heard it: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/aug/05/demise-monoculture-why-have-so-many-never-heard-uk-record-breaking-no-1-single-sam-fender-olivia-dean

It was either Love At First Sight or Come Into My World

If I remember correctly, Mariah also released and was #2. I guess one of these had to have blocked Mariah.

No recurrents on Pop, boring week with no meaningful movement.

lol at Natalie Imbruglia and Dexys Midnight Runners beating out Ellie. I had no idea Dexys Midnight Runners was still active. I mean, I haven't heard anything from them outside of Come On Eileen.

It's everywhere. This is the first song in a really long time that's hard to escape. In my trip to Ohio last month, I heard the song play in two of my Uber rides (with one of the drivers singing it loud and proud). This past weekend, in Boston, I heard the song play in a Home Depot. Oh, and in my trip to Vermont in early March (that was a half year ago), I read a story about how CT made history by being #1 on the Hot 100. This was long before I first heard this song. So, it was already #1 before it became big. I've never seen anything like that before.

Surprised Taylor didn't make the Top 3 at Lincoln Financial Field. I would have thought she would have topped that list with the Eras Tour.

KMM nearing 2.5 billion and is currently the most daily streamed song of 2021.

Yeah, 2003-04 was definitely the R&B period here in the US. Alicia Keys and Usher definitely defined that period. Throw in a little dancehall, with Kevin Lyttle. Hip hop was more popular in 2005-08.
