Billboard Hot 100 - Week of January 25, 2025
Bad Bunny's new effort tears the top 10 but doesn't manage to dethrone Gaga and Mars. teddy Swims colaboration with Giveon 'Are you Even Real' is the biggest new release at 59.

It should be illegal for an artist to have more than two songs in the top 10 at the same time

I think the UK did a rule where you can only have three songs in the top 40 at a time or something after Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran basically overwhelmed it

They used to not have random ass album cuts be eligible back in the day and it had to be a single. That's why a lot of 90s hits weren't even big billboard hot 100 hits. I don't know what the fuck happened and why that dumb fag drake or Kendrick has their whole album plastered on the fucking charts. There's just no criteria anymore and only retards follow it

Billboard used to have similar rules to keep artists from overcrowding the chart or to keep songs from hanging around the top half of the chart for monstrously long runs like we see today. But instead of adjusting those rules to streaming they just got rid of them entirely, and now we have this.

>only retards follow it
true, smart and sophisticated people used to follow the Hot 100 religiously, but now that it shows what people are listening to it has lost its value

Labels would postpone releasing popular tracks as singles to force people to buy the whole album. That's how you got the most random alt rock albums going 25x platinum out of nowhere.

There used to be better songs that hit on the charts simple as that. Starting in the 90s it went to fucking shit. 60s and 70s hits are fun to scour through even though there's still a bunch of crap obviously

Yeah it was weird and truly a CD era where people bought the whole cd. Prob cuz it was a waste of buying a single that cost 75% of the cost of an album on cd basically.

Apt is the only good charting pop song of the past 10-15 years.

UK top 40 to compare

Lot of crossover at the moment, though a few difference (No Bad Bunny the most notable, obviously the latin market a lot smaller UK side) also Shaboozey has completely dropped off our top 40 I think (Peaked at 3 in May)

The only good thing about those "album bombs" is that they sometimes clear out old and overplayed songs and make them recurrent, so you get new tunes moving up the charts.

has a "hit" song ever had so little cultural impact?
Nobody is actually listening to this

Seriously it's a 3rd rate shitty American idol tier song that only is popular because of 2010s nostalgia of the 2 artists
