Imagine if "Kung Fu Fighting" came out this year... the other songs from KUNG FU FIGHTING AND OTHER GREAT LOVE SONGS would be a shoo-in for the top 40.

While ALL the thoughts are well taken and understood, what should also be noted, bizarrely (and may be NOT so oddly) is that the hot 100 is having chart-breaking stints for songs staying in the top 10 and top 40......in last week's Billboard top 40 there are songs in the top 40 for 51, 53, 57, 60, 70
AND 75 weeks!!!.....and also weeks in the top ten of 33, 39, 56 & 62 weeks.....how is it a song is THAT popular for a freaking year when the attention span of listeners/people today is so short..........I guess the transient nature of things popping in and out quickly leave the really popular songs via radio to stay much longer than otherwise would have occurred....something to think about....

Streaming certainly is the biggest component of the Hot 100 (and the Genre component charts). Sales are next to dead and Radio is down. Even without major album bombs like Morgan Wallen, half of the time songs that make the top 3 on Country radio don't hit the top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart because they don't stream well enough. Certainly can't compare eras from decades ago to today.
"What I Want" is being promoted to Pop radio so it should be on the Radio chart soon. I believe it even debuted on Country Radio at #55 last week due to curiosity spins. |

To Ed's point, "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus spent about 60 weeks at #1 (!) on the AC chart. How can a song possibly be so popular that it's the most played song in that genre for over a year. Not a top 100, top 40, or top 10, but #1. But such is the nature of charts these days. |
