Not reading any further Not surprising that this level of lunacy and delusion comes courtesy of thee resident Johnny Depp supporting clown on this forum, tho I see you chose to walk out the thread in shame after getting clocked, good call

OP updated! No new entries this year, but lots of movements nonetheless: Mariah, Taylor, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki, Selena and Ariana all chart at least one song in this year's Hot 100 YEC. For some added trivia, here's how things would look like if I were to exclude years where an artist only charted a song that had already entered the YEC of a previous year, which is usually the result of a truncated chart-run, and only counted "unique" entries: 1. Mariah (19) 2. Madonna (18) 3. Rihanna/Taylor (15) 5. Beyoncé/Pink (14) 7. Janet (13) 8. Nicki (12) 9. Cher/Dionne/Kelly/Selena (11) 13. Ariana/Whitney (9)

I would've NEVER expected this but the non-vault song I've found myself gravitating the most towards is Shake It Off. I couldn't stand it at the time and actively avoided it but whew, that last minute or so is so euphoric and hits in all the right places for me right now Also great to discover that Bad Blood, especially remixed, still goes off extremely hard despite the bad rep it gets from fans

Except every other attempt to seize upon the potential and virality of an Afrobeats song by remixing it with an American singer proves you wrong. The Bieber remix of "Essence" has less streams than the original (129M vs 206M) and the same goes for Camila Cabello's remix of "KU LO SA" (277M vs 33M). The Ed Sheeran remix of "Peru," while bigger than the original (284M vs 99M), hardly made the song explode in popularity, and all of his numerous other collabs in the same genre flopped. The new Travis Scott remix of "Water" is most definitely poised to come and go as well. Since this is all direct proof that adding a recognizable name to a viral song doesn't mean it's automatically going to make said song several times more successful, the only reasonable explanation for the blockbuster success of "Calm Down" is that people dig what Selena brings to the song specifically. That doesn't detract from this being Rema's song first and foremost so all props to him, but also credit where credit's due.

I was okay with it going recurrent cause I just assumed if Drake's album bomb wasn't going to push it out of the top 25, then Bad Bunny or Taylor's would but actually I think it would've ended up surviving those, so yeah it's really a shame, also because it was really close to hanging on and Drake's tracks proved to be really frontloaded. I'm not usually against recurrency rules but there is no chart system that should allow going #10-OUT under any circumstances if a song is stable on all the main components, or at least it should be allowed to re-enter the following week as all those album tracks inevitably fall off I get what you're saying but I seriously doubt there's plenty of songs from before 2007 that even lasted 40+ weeks on the entire chart, let alone in the top 10. Songs nowadays tend to have much longer chart-runs in general It was certified 7x Platinum four months ago in Canada so it's probably not going to take long, but certifications are not automatic so it's not a given that they'll update it as soon as it'll reach it. In any case, "It Ain't Me" was certified 9x Platinum there more than 2 years ago so it's likely that was her first song to technically reach Diamond status. RIAA (unfairly) doesn't credit Selena on the certification unfortunately, but at the rate it's going I guess in 2-3 years it might be Diamond eligible. A lot comes down to how well it holds up on streaming in the next years. And it's definitely going to get a major boost like all the biggest hits of the year come NYE. At that point it will still have enough points to chart in the top 25 on top of gaining in performance from the previous week in every metric and, since those are the requirements for a re-entry, maybe Billboard will let it chart again. The rules are pretty iffy though, and I think there's a chance they only grant the opportunity to re-enter to hits that got kicked out by Christmas songs only and in that case Calm Down would be out for good.

It surpasses "Bad Guy" as it spends its 43rd week in the Top 10 of the Canadian Hot 100, and is now only behind "Heat Waves" and "Blinding Lights" overall, which have charted for 45 and 56 weeks respectively within the region. The song is also 13 weeks away from tying "Levitating" as the longest-charting female song in the Top 100, period. Elsewhere, "Calm Down" is also the song with most weeks ever spent in the Top 10 of France and Switzerland (45 and 54 respectively) and the longest-charting song in Pop radio history in the U.S., with 55 weeks and counting. Below the full (as of yet) chart-run of this record-breaking smash

Nope > Get Out > Us I find Get Out to be the one that offers the least to chew on, it's great but very straightforward and bare-bones compared to the other two

What a weird scene to conjure up. You don't know her, snap out of it

These scams are still much more common and successful than you'd think no matter how absurd they sound, especially the ones targeting old people

Okay queen, faith restored I just thought it was weird to start an era when another Interscope pop girl is right in the middle of hers, especially if that person is Olivia who shares Selena's entire team. And if this was kicking off an album rollout then that would have pretty much killed any hope for a feature on 1989TV and would've made a #1 album very unlikely, and that seems to be the label's priority As it stands, I can see Single Soon being anywhere from a minor hit to a surprising smash, depending on what the reception is and if the stars align and it goes viral on social media, which I feel it could given what I heard of the song and its breakup theme. Following that, I've been thinking we might get a Taylor/Selena link-up at the VMA's: it would be a perfect 2015'd throwback to promote the re-recording, they're both winning at least one award that night so reason for both to show up, and that's where Taylor announced Midnights last year so considering the timing she might reveal the tracklist that night. And to that point, I feel like it's now or never for a collab, so while I'm not that confident she's on the album, I'm at least hopeful Finally, I'd say lead single maybe around March next year and the album sometime in Q2? It will probably come down to when she'll be on set for Only Murders, which I'm assuming gets at least another season Also, I guess this is where any dream for Grammys glory for Calm Down comes to an end since the only way to meet eligibility seems to be releasing a live version and it doesn't look like anything is in the works? And even if they're aware, I wouldn't put it past Selena to just let Rema release a live recording of his own solo version, cause that would also be a way to make the song eligible even if it was already submitted last year

Also laughing at the fans gaslighting themselves into believing it's fake at first when it very clearly wasn't And one more thing, not to be mean but she needs to stop forcing her sister down our throats. It was cute at first, it's downright incessant now

That song better be a random droplet to hold us in the wait for the new era early next year, cause if she's releasing this silly, H&M'd leaked mess as a lead single after having recorded so much stuff in the last 3 years or so... She has released weak singles before but this would be beneath her

Ok but Francia was definitely being held at gunpoint by Selena's PR team inside the restaurant, never trust that ruthless manipulative kidney thief
