Broken Chart
- Thread starter sadchild
- Start date
I recognize the first 10 (that happened 1995-1998). The rest (2003 and after), I don't recognize. Chart was broken by then.
Last week Taylor's new album came out. This week it's Billie Eilish.
27 of the Hot 100 songs this week are Taylor and Billie. More than 1/4.

The Best Billboard Top 10 in Ages? – RadioInsight
The good news about Top 40 was coming in at a fairly rapid clip last week. I profiled WKST (96.1 Kiss) Pittsburgh, Pa., and WHTZ (Z100) New York, but May’s PPM ratings had two dozen other success stories I could have as easily written about. (WRVW [The River] Nashville went 4.9-5.8 later that...

I did notice that the top 10 was actually 9 artists, not 2. Hopefully all this talking about how this seems finally somewhat normal kicks Billboard in the ass to fix it.
The Rock Chart is broken too. It's a perfect example of a chart based on people going "oh look, something shiny!" when a song from 2001 shoots from nowhere to #1
@Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" debuts at No. 1 on this week's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart thanks to streaming and sales gains after the June 26 release of the "Hate to Love: Nickelback" documentary on @netflix

Eminem becomes the 19th artist in history to chart at least 100 total songs on the chart, and now has the 11th-most entries of all time.
But it wasn't until recently you could have every song from an album enter the chart. If that were the case, the Beatles would've had 500 entries on the Hot 100. Same with Michael Jackson. And The Rolling Stones. And.....
It's not the same rules. BROKEN CHART!

More ranting:
Drake now leads all artists with a whopping 333 total entries on the chart in his career (through the Hot 100 dated July 27, 2024). He’s the only artist to chart at least 300 total songs in history. Only two other acts have charted at least 200: Taylor Swift (264) and the Glee cast (207).
Sorry, not acknowledged.
While it’s rare for artists to chart triple-digit entries on the Hot 100, it has become a more regular occurrence since the ranking began including streaming figures in 2007. As such, some artists have been able to chart a high number of songs on the Hot 100 after releasing high-profile albums. The model contrasts with prior decades, when acts generally promoted one single at a time in the physical-only marketplace and on radio. That shift in consumption helps explain why artists have been able to chart many songs over short spans in recent years.
That would be like shrinking the size of a football field in half. Now there's 70 touchdowns a game. And a whole bunch of NEW WORLD RECORDS!!!........ Uh, no. Not the same game.
So, not the same chart!

The first artist to dominate a chart was Len Spencer. From 1896 to 1899, Phonoscope magazine published a monthly list of the three best-selling phonograph records. This is from March 1897:
1. Oh, Mr. Johnson, Turn Me Loose - Len Spencer
2. My Gal Is A Highborn Lady - Len Spencer
3. A Hot Time In The Old Town - Len Spencer
That first recording is not on YouTube but here is a version by minstrel Singer Silas Leachman, best known for his 1894 hit Dem Golden Slippers:

2. My Gal Is A Highborn Lady - Len Spencer

BUT I CAN STILL BITCH ABOUT IT!
Seriously though. It's like dropping the size of golf courses down to mini golf size and then saying "This new guy Jack Mehoff is 100x better than Tiger Woods. He got 12 hole-in-ones at the Masters today!"
One of these days, that'll be The Beatles vs. Taylor Swift, Drake...
We're already there...

Drake's 30th top 5 hit pushes him past The Beatles' record of 29. The iconic band held the record for over 55 years. Their song “The Long and Winding Road”/”For You Blue,” was their last to reach No. 1 on the chart.

Let me know when every song in the top ten is by a Korean artist. Until then, Taylor Swift rules!
How meaningful is it that Korean pop artists hold the top two spots onb the Billboard 200 this week?

Stray Kids' 'Ate' and Jimin's 'Muse' are Nos. 1 & 2 on the Billboard 200 this week, the first time that Korean pop albums have held the top two spots.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I heard Madonna's "Living On A Prayer" is back in the top 40 thanx to "Deadpool & Wolverine".
Madonna's Like A Prayer (not to be confused with Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer) is on the Deadpool Vs. Wolverine soundtrack but it is not on the new Billboard Hot 100 (for the week of August 3). Those chart-topping Korean artists made it though: Jimin's Who debuted at #14 and the Stray Kids' Chk Chk Boom debuted at #49. Among the other songs on the Deadpool Vs. Wolverine soundtrack are AC/DC's Hells Bells, *NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye, the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris, the Stray Kids' Slash and – don't ask me why – John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John's You're The One That I Want from the 1978 Grease movie.
Post Malone released an album earlier this month with 18 songs on it. All 18 songs are on the Hot 100 this week. Plus he has a 19th entry as a guest on someone else's song.
Pretty soon Elvis and The Beatles will be in 50th and 80th place for "most entries on the Hot 100" under this new bullshit system.
