March 28, 201510 yr I sure hope it doesn't get the record (is there any Mariah record she won't lose?) but I can't really see anything likely to stop it. Airplay-wise Ellie looks like the best bet but I don't think she'll get the traction on sales.
March 28, 201510 yr i hope Uptown Funk breaks One Sweet Day's record because it's a way better song not to mention it is by a British artist which will be a great achievement for Brit artists in the US...
March 29, 201510 yr It's not my favourite Mark Ronson single, but he more than deserves breaking records. I'm very happy for his success and hopefully this will encourage him to put out a more radio friendly album. He's a way better producer than David Guetta/Calvin Harris.
March 29, 201510 yr RE: "Ghost" - Billlboard has a recurrency rule in which songs drop off after 20 weeks when they fall off the top 50, simply going recurrent. "GDFR" tho :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
March 29, 201510 yr RE: "Ghost" - Billlboard has a recurrency rule in which songs drop off after 20 weeks when they fall off the top 50, simply going recurrent. What kind of stupid rule is that?
March 29, 201510 yr What kind of stupid rule is that? It's so that songs don't hang around the bottom half of the chart for ages. Quite sensible, imo!
March 29, 201510 yr It's so that songs don't hang around the bottom half of the chart for ages. Quite sensible, imo! Well a top 100 should be just that, the 100 best selling songs. If it annoys them that songs hang around for ages then how about quit adding streams to the chart (I know they had this rule before streams kicked in but this should at least improve it) or make it a top 50. Rant over :lol:
March 29, 201510 yr Author It's mostly airplay that causes songs to stick around (and no, they're not gonna take airplay out of the equation after 57 years)
March 30, 201510 yr I agree that One Sweet Day is not a great song and hasn't aged well, but I don't like the idea of its record being broken mostly because I hate these ultra long running #1s. We're back to 10 years ago when only 8-10 singles reach #1 every year...
March 30, 201510 yr Exactly, because songs with more than 20 chart weeks are not allowed in the lower half of the Hot 100. This only counts if their overall "points" decreased tho (which is the case most of the time)
March 30, 201510 yr It's mostly airplay that causes songs to stick around (and no, they're not gonna take airplay out of the equation after 57 years)Or some sort of giant promo. See: "Stay With Me".
