Every Artist #1 History we've done (thread):

Luminate announces that they have begun keeping track of music streaming data among gaming environments on their Connect platform: “The next frontier of music might be gaming. Sabrina Carpenter’s smash-hit Fortnite collab was one more reminder that if you’re not paying attention to the relationship between gaming and music, you’re missing a huge part of the story—especially for Gen Z.”

@yieldbyabaldnd @talkofthecharts @Jossi_224 not all #1s are built the same, you can still be #1 but weaker; i promise this is not that hard to understand if u stop being dense for one second

@talkofthecharts @Jossi_224 And position is based of plays bitch ass @talkofthecharts

Early Billboard Hot 100 Predictions (chart dated April 26th, 2025)

@talkofthecharts up 4,311 spots, so logically its coming for #1 in 4 weeks 🔥🔥

Locash’s “Hometown Home” is predicted to reach a new peak inside the top 90 of the Billboard Hot 100 second charting week. It ranks as the #15,512th most consumed US single of the week by weekly units (slightly under 2K).

@Jossi_224 @talkofthecharts @Drake hi, totc admin here. you clearly dont know shit lmao; i fw both heavy cause im not chronically online enough to let stan twitter determine my music taste.

@talkofthecharts @Drake I know this post comes from a place of hurt, @talkofthecharts. Just a reminder real talent can’t be canceled or overshadowed by bots, fake chart predictions, payola, or label interference. Drake earned every accolade through hard work, and he deserves all of it. #Drake 🐐

Drake’s “Nokia” is on pace to reach #1 on both Billboard’s Streaming and Digital Sales charts next week (chart dated April 19th, 2025).

Playboi Carti’s new album ‘I AM MUSIC’ will finally be dropping this Friday, March 14th.

@wesleys_theory1 @talkofthecharts They rounded to get 90,500 and 90,000, Drake’s number was slightly above 90,000 and Kendrick’s was slightly below 90,500. Do you think it’s a coincidence that all the article numbers are to the nearest 500?

@talkofthecharts Yes… 90,500 and 90,000 is a difference of 500 units, not 300.

Closest top 2 races on the Billboard 200 this decade: #1. 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vs One Thing At A Time — 200 units #2. GNX vs $ome $exy $ongs 4 U — 300 units #3. Get Up vs Barbie The Album — 350 units #4. Nostalgia vs GUTS — 400 units #5. Un Verano Sin Ti vs The Last Slimeto — 450 units #6. Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon vs SAVAGE MODE II — 600 units #7. Short n’ Sweet vs DAYS BEFORE RODEO — 650 units #8. 7220 vs Dangerous — 650 units #9. DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS vs Lover (Live From Paris) — 1,100 units #10. Sincerely, Kentrell vs Certified Lover Boy — 1,200 units

@BigVibezrnn @talkofthecharts @kendricklamar the internet is public

@talkofthecharts @kendricklamar This is not true lol why this page lie so much

Kendrick Lamar currently has the #1 song on US Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, and iTunes following the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

there is a whole world outside twitter, complaining over 10 hours is diabolical

Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Peaks of 2024 by Chart Points

Week-by-week Consumption Breakdown of Every Billboard Hot 100 #1 Single of 2024

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is currently on pace to tie Lil Nas X & Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” as the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit of all time by the end of this year. The former is currently on pace to earn an 18th week at #1 this week and will likely earn a record-tying 19th next week (barring none of the song’s competition makes a large effort for #1). Afterwards, Christmas singles are likely to occupy the #1 spot for the rest of the year.

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” is projected to have earned the second biggest streaming week in Billboard Global 200 chart history with over 220 million worldwide streams this week.

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” is aiming for one of the biggest Billboard Global 200 debuts of 2024.

@djrobblog @talkofthecharts @Drake it’s still #1 if you remove all the units from October and November lmao; it leads 2024 by almost 1M units.

@talkofthecharts @Drake Yeah, the reason it’s No. 1 is because Billboard’s chart year runs from October to October. So an album that came out last October and has a full year worth of charts to accumulate points will obviously do well on the year-end recap. Also, it was a weak year for rap albums!

One year ago today, Drake’s ‘For All The Dogs’ was released. The project opened with 402K units first week and is the only hip-hop album this decade to score multiple Hot 100 #1 singles (Slime You Out & First Person Shooter). It has sold nearly 2.6 million US units since release and is projected to be the #1 hip-hop album on Billboard’s 2024 Year-End Albums list.

Future occupies the entire top 6 of US Apple Music with tracks from ‘MIXTAPE PLUTO’: #1. TEFLON DON #2. LIL DEMON #3. SKI #4. TOO FAST #5. READY TO COOK UP #6. PLUTOSKI

Final Billboard Hot 100 Predictions (chart dated September 21st, 2024)

Playboi Carti’s “All Red” reaches #1 on US Apple Music.

@nugstendo @talkofthecharts No. Digital sales count as pure sales.

@talkofthecharts so it only required 1 preorder to achieve this? what a stupid stat

The Weeknd’s ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ has already surpassed the first week US pure sales of his last album ‘Dawn FM’ with just physical preorders.

LE SSERAFIM’s ‘CRAZY’ is challenging for a second week on the Billboard Hot 100. It would join Jimin’s “Who” as the only 2024 k-pop singles to chart for multiple weeks so far (@le_sserafim).

The Weeknd’s new single “Dancing In The Flames” will be released on Friday, September 13th, according to Variety.
