Billboard BREAKDOWN - Hot 100 - August 12, 2017

[@6ean6oy]

This video is 21 minutes and 21 seconds long 21 Savage has a song at #21 Illuminati Comfirmed

[@MrGOOMBAGUY]

I just wish this was week 21 of the BB year.

[@cubedmelons876]

The only thing that's missing is having a new 21 pilots song on the chart.

[@mxcpxr2532]

This week had a Billboard Breakdown Literally

[@hankcyrus9776]

MacperKenet and a mark breakdown

[@crazyluigi6664]

If only there were so many different ways to say fuck this week in particular...

[@andrewbianchi1294]

RIP Flower Boy. RIP Lust For Life. RIP Symphony. RIP quality. I hope you're fucking happy America, for living down to my expectations yet again.

[@ivosvalgil5724]

Wonkey Dude98 Rip Talking to myself and Wish i knew you. And New rules. Fuck everything. Also, Im Disx in my other account, just letting you know :v Are you going to fix your Toptens account mate?

[@andrewbianchi1294]

Ivos Valgil Hard to say because my brother also changed the email for the account.

[@alankrutipoojari9445]

Is anyone else happy that this is the last week of CLOSER on the chart?

[@astoldbyneon43]

Alankruti Poojari To me it's bittersweet. While I'm glad we can FINALLY get rid of that goddamn song, I hate the idea of it joining this "exclusive club" where only a few songs lasted a full year on the charts, especially since it didn't even leave the top 40

[@legendbtv]

Alankruti Poojari how do you know that?

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

The song had to grow on me, but I'd be lying if I said I won't be at least kind of sad to see it off. While I know many will be saying "GOOD RIDDANCE!" when it leaves, I won't be one of them. For the outstanding run it had, it's hard to not feel at least somewhat sad to see it depart after how much it's gone through.

[@hankcyrus9776]

LegendBTV at 39 and has 51 weeks, the year rule will kick in soon.

[@dabbingmannequinsgaming7030]

I initially liked it at first, but then got tired of it back in October as it became too overplayed. Even right now, I still don't find it that interesting to listen to, so it can be said that overplay has killed the song for me, and that I should be relieved to see it go to the récurrents next week.

[@mikecraig2062]

I'm confused Lana Del Rey and Tyler The Creator had the top albums in the country yet we got nothing but Meek Mill.

[@astoldbyneon43]

Mike Craig Its all in the streaming. He tried to cheat by "Free Streams" on Tidal, which lead to many of his songs charting this week

[@cubedmelons876]

Do Tidal's free streams at least bring in ad revenue like Spotify? If not, that's extremely stupid how they counted them.

[@nicholaskatsikas4904]

I'm just gonna say Numb is the best song of the week by default since I didn't really care for any of the actual new songs on the chart.

[@devinmccreery8003]

me, neither.

[@okraglinek9101]

Nicholas Katsikas I mean, Back To You is decent.

[@evasemmorflleh]

It's not a new arrival, though; it's a returning entry

[@brandondias5622]

Nah, In the End is better. Numb is still good, though.

[@parkersairpods]

Even after Meek tried to cheat the charts this week he still only debuted at #3 lmao

[@an_alienwashere]

POP2 karma is a bi*ch

[@inthefurnace]

Back To You deserved better :'(

[@ThisCommentWroteItself]

I'm impressed that you managed to tell the Meek Mill songs apart enough to name a worst.

[@lovelyninja9564]

Streaming shouldn't make such a huge impact on the charts. I'm tired of all these mediocre rap songs that benefit from it

[@marcdoesmusics]

it's how most music is consumed now tho

[@kiks2793]

you're gonna let radio dictate charts? because the new generation doesn't buy music anymore and with payola radio can't be trusted

[@GlalieEnthusiast]

I'm pretty sure streaming counts less than airplay and sales

[@lydiavalentino]

Best of the Week: "It's Goin' Down" I REGRET NOTHING

[@evasemmorflleh]

I'm not sure how Mark manages to continue to pronounce Romeo Santos's name wrong when he literally has a song that starts with "hola, me llamo Romeo" (which translates to "hello, my name is Romeo")

[@ch-ww4im]

This week was fckng horrible

[@aronpuma5962]

Am I the only one who is kind of, weirded out that the Descendants sets are just so cheap. They look like a play, not that cheap a play, but a play

[@aronpuma5962]

I realize that Disney is not about to spend much money on it, and that they aren't making something that they want ot last. I realize that the creators probably just aren't that interested in what they're doing and want to get paid. And I also realize that even when Disney people try, their productions will have staid cinematography and largely formulaic filmmaking (unless they are directed by Brad Bird) But I do expect that they can at least make it look like they are on a boat. Even if it's a soundstage, it is possible to make it look like they are on a boat for not that much money.

[@TheNashNetwork]

Aron puma yo if you wanna ask me anything about it go ahead, I was on set for three of the Descendants songs and was in the background for them :3

[@cubedmelons876]

That goes for pretty much all Disney channel sitcoms. They're all made for a quick buck.

[@legendbtv]

God what's up with every time theres a major rap release, the charts get plugged up with every song on the album...... Then just fall off like wtf?

[@hankcyrus9776]

LegendBTV atleast the massive streams collapse the next week

[@legendbtv]

Thijs van asselt Well that makes it even more pointless TBH

[@nicholaskatsikas4904]

Can't believe Mark hasn't mentioned that Love Galore is now in the top 50? Also except Loyalty to get a big boost next week thanks to the video.

[@wiigocadee4641]

Nicholas Katsikas he didn't mention it because it didn't gain 10+ spots

[@brianhitzone37]

Her name is China Anne McClain.

[@zerpent5767]

Sorry, but this is bugging me. China Anne McClain not China Anne McCain

[@martinrusev3502]

I hope Symphony can catch on in USA. Cause it's awesome!

[@teddyhaines6613]

It's unfortunately too catchy and upbeat for the summer Hot 100.

[@aftershock16509]

Unfortunately, since the country as a whole is not in the mood for happy music, I'm afraid it's not going to do well here in the US.

[@aftershock16509]

Nick Cruz I wouldn't say it's been forever, 2007-2013 was full of upbeat hits. The whole downward, depressing trend has been going on since at least late 2015 and will most likely continue until at least 2020. The charts usually determine what tastes the general public currently has. Without going into political conversations, if you've been keeping up with current events, the state of the pop charts usually reflect mood of the country as a whole. In short, expect more dour-sounding pop and trap-rap for the next few years. I personally don't like these trends, but I'm only one out of 300 million.

[@legendbtv]

This week just sucked. Symphony didn't even debut because of Meek Mill's trash. (Sigh) Maybe next week

[@navinkling6028]

LegendBTV also descendants. So stupid

[@crazyluigi6664]

Also some Linkin Park songs that deserved to chart (more specifically Talking To Myself) and a couple of Tyler The Creator songs like 911 / Mr. Lonely, See You Again, and maybe even Boredom.

[@mxcpxr2532]

Maybe after meek mill's "hype" dies down Symphony will debut

[@navinkling6028]

Crazy Luigi well symphony is 2 in the bubbling under, and ways to be wicked from descendants 2 at number 1 in bubbling under.

[@minecraftmekan1]

Seriously FUCK this week New Rules and Wish I knew you could have debuted, which Wish i knew you is a great song, and new rules is better than this shit. And symphony like you said. Shit week, FUCK MEEK MILL

[@thomyyyyyy]

I just love this show and channel so much

[@Anomphy]

Surprised Tyler didn't get to shine this week.

[@NoName-hk3lq]

Despacito is in its 12th week of being Number one Already tied with shape of you for being the longest number one of 2017. Can some song please take down Despacito? I don't care what song it is it can't Beat the masterpiece that is One Sweet Day.

[@hankcyrus9776]

No Name in week 14 it will become the most watched song on KZbin, that should boost it.

[@okraglinek9101]

Thijs van asselt That may just kill it. A boost in sales means less sales in the future.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

I am losing sleep at the thought of it even touching Uptown Funk! Let alone One Sweet Day.

[@jayromeo_19]

It's not even that bad of a song

[@bangdingow171]

The Cavca So the boost in sale would put it even far ahead, and with its KZbin its falling so slowly.

[@iam9991000]

Money don't buy taste, Mark. Money don't buy taste.

[@TimLi-1]

Meek Mill makes Disney's Descendants look good!

[@gp-mo9lb]

Hey! You know Back to You is amazing!

[@erikdaniels0n]

Yay a sequel to everybody's favorite, the Meek Mill show

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

I still don't get the appeal of Meek Mill.... Seriously, I hate how this dude NEVER changes his vocal inflection. He's so monotone!

[@biabarreto1434]

So It's Goin' Down and What's My Name made the Hot 100, but Ways to Be Wicked and Chillin' Like a Villain didn't? I... I feel like I shouldn't be shocked, but I still am. Man, Sofia, Cameron and Booboo really got the shaft this year. And let's be real, the only reason why 1D members' solo songs (which, for the record, are all lackluster) keep charting is because of their fanbase. If *NSYNC existed in the present day and their fans were as passionate as the 1D stans are, Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love) would've been a hit.

[@okraglinek9101]

BOTW: Back To You HM: Imitadora DM: It's Goin' Down WOTW: 1942 Fliws

[@H893-r1k]

McClain, not McCain

[@ActuallyNotHayden]

The beat to Back To You reminds me of the human music from Rick and Morty

[@phillinsogood]

As much as I enjoy musicals, Decedents 2 wasn't doing it for me. The storyline could have been better and most of the songs were unforgettable. I prefer the older Disney channel musicals like hsm, camp rock & cheetah girls

[@benallan2328]

Best of the Week - Wins & Losses by Meek Mill Honourable Mention - Imitadora by Romeo Santos It's Goin Down by Descendants 2 Cast Fuck That Check Up by Meek Mill ft. Lil Uzi Vert Heavy Heart by Meek Mill What's My Name by China Anne McCain ft. Thomas Doherty Back To You by Louis Tomlinson ft. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals Issues by Meek Mill Dishonourable Mention - 1942 Flows by Meek Mill Worst of the Week - We Ball by Meek Mill ft. Young Thug

[@DFMusic811]

Tyler didn't get a single Flower Boy hit this week...I hope you're happy America.

[@crazyluigi6664]

>:(

[@Sammy-kx4lh]

Why you all dressed up

[@cinemaslut9034]

Sammy 12 becuz its billboard breakdown yo he has to look fresh for the babes

[@beetlebatbackup]

SO TRU XD

[@leonardob.p.9947]

Romeo Santos is not reggaeton, it is bachata. Two different genres from two different countries. Careful about that

[@joesontag74]

I thought Drake killed Meek Mills career last year Jesus I’m out of the loop

[@crazyluigi6664]

Sadly, he didn't. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the week we did have this time around... >:/

[@davidla5249]

actually he did, meek mill got the songs charting because tidal let people stream them for free. Billboard counted the free streams

[@davidla5249]

if the fraudulent streams hadn't counted, the album would have debuted with less than 50k units. I'm not saying it's because of drake, it could be because his music is trash

[@crazyluigi6664]

Honestly, I'm just hoping for some Linkin Park and Tyler The Creator to get there next week to make up for the bullshit this week (and Symphony as well).

[@caitbooth96]

I wonder how long Body Like a Backroad will stay in the top ten just to spite Mark. Every week it's there I laugh a little because I know how he'll react

[@microt999]

come on! back to you is amazing

[@emperorcupcake]

Wow, people really go for the lowest common denominator crap :(

[@hyperionnova2854]

Next week, hoping to see Perfect Places chart due to the music video~ :D And of course the two new songs by Camila Cabello (Havana and OMG) As much as I also want to see Symphony make it as well, a small part of me thinks that it'll forever be destined to stay in the Bubbling Under - god I hope I'm wrong on that, that song is fantastic

[@disx1317]

HyperionNova Camila's songs are pretty fun and Symphony is great. Also the Drake streak is going to end unless he releases something

[@TheNashNetwork]

I was on set for 3 of the Descendants 2 songs, I liked It's Going Down for being ridiculous, but some of it was unbearable.

[@ms94]

Ok, the new entries just sucked, so here's a list of my scores for the top 10: 10: Body Like a Back Road - 1/10 - *eww...* 9: Attention - 4/10 - It's alright, I guess. It's the best song to ever come out of Charlie Puth, so I'll give it that, but other than that, nothing sticks out about this song, nothing grabs my attention about it, so it is just relegated to background music. Can't say much more about that. 8: There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back - 6/10 - Easily the best Shawn Mendes song. Period. I doubt that there would be any other song by Mendes that I'd like - 'Stitches' and 'Mercy' leaves nothing to the imagination (ie. I couldn't care less about those songs) and 'Treat You Better' was absolute dogshit - so it's nice to finally have a song by him that I actually sorta like, even if only for the strong chorus, but hey, I'd take it at this point. 7: Shape of You - 3/10 - Honestly, I'm sick of this song right now. It was okay when it was fresh and new but it grew quite stale very quickly, and the fact that the song is incredibly formulaic, safe and uninteresting doesn't help. I mean, this tropical house formula has been done before, with pop stars such as Sia using this formula, that the song is pretty much unoriginal and just like any other song that you hear on the radio. I'm sorta glad that it's on its way out, but it's happening too slowly - I'd much rather this song gone now! 6. Unforgettable - 3/10 - I don't have much to say about this song, but it is pretty ironic that a song that is called 'Unforgettable' can be exactly the opposite of what it means. Meh, I'd probably forget about this song in a couple of hours, and be reminded about its existence during the next episode of Billboard Breakdown. 5: Believer - 5/10 - Not bad, but not good either. This song sits somewhere in the middle, interesting enough to make me intrigued but bland enough to make me regret I ever listened to it. 4: I'm the One - 2/10 - Ugh! This song is awful! And to think that Chance the Rapper is on this is easily the saddest part about it! Such a waste of talent... Anyway this song is only here because of Justin Bieber - and nobody else. Ugh, can't talk about this one anymore... 3: That's what I Like - 8/10 - Easily the best song in the top 10 at the moment. It's refreshing to see such a good song right here after all the mediocrity that is within the top ten. Geez, Bruno Mars is killing it right now! I know that the song is a bit old - I mean, it's been in the charts for months now - but I don't care, as this song is the sweet, sweet sugary goodness amongst all the stale bread in the top 10, and that's fine enough for me! 2: Wild Thoughts - 7/10 - Easily the best song that DJ Khaled is involved in, and it's all thanks to Rihanna and that damn fine Santana sample. Even Bryson Tiller is quite good here. Again, I hope songs like these stick around, because we all need it at this point. 1: Despacito - 1/10 - Ok, at this point, it's safe to say that this song is really getting onto my nerves, and I didn't like the song the first time I heard it to begin with! Again, this song is not here because people are looking for something different, or that there is a push for reggaeton to be the next trending genre in the charts, or that the charts are finally embracing diversity; it's only here because of FUCKING JUSTIN BIEBER!!! Look, there are lots and lots of non-English songs that I love, no matter how popular they are - for example: 'Drinkee' by Sofi Tukker, 'Tilted' and 'iT' by Christine & the Queens, '99 Luftballons' by Nena, 'KARATE' by BABYMETAL and even the cheesy but catchy 'Gangnam Style' by Psy - as well as many artists that, although they have translated or sung in English, they aren't afraid of singing in their native language - for example: Kaleo, Ásgeir, Milky Chance, just to name a few - 'Despacito' is NOT one of them. To conclude, this song sucks, it shouldn't be at no.1 and the sooner the song is out of the charts, the better. -sigh- Meanwhile, as I am Australian, lets look at the top ten songs on the ARIA charts at this moment: 10: In the End - 9/10 - To start off on this bittersweet note, the tragic circumstances regarding Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has led to the reentry of several Linkin Park songs into the charts, and us Aussies have put their song 'In the End' in the top 10, something that the Americans sadly couldn't achieve. This is a great song, to be blunt here, and whilst I'm not personally into Linkin Park, I can appreciate their music to an extent, and this song is one of the songs that I really like from them. 9: There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back - 6/10 - (see my review for the song in the US charts above). 8: Mama - 6/10 - I don't mind Jonas Blue at all, actually. I really enjoyed his cover of Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car', and his other song 'Perfect Strangers' is alright too. Whilst this song is personally one of the weakest that Jonas Blue had done, I do like this producer and this song deserves some more attention, especially in the US. 7: Glorious - 7/10 - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis has always been a positive force in the charts, with songs like 'Thrift Shop', 'Same Love', 'Can't Hold Us' and 'Downtown' I always love to listen to, so it's nice to see them back in the charts, well only Macklemore going solo this time around. Whilst this song doesn't hold a candle to the hits that Macklemore made with Ryan Lewis, I can find this track growing on me in the near future. 6: Slow Hands - 9/10 - I am not ashamed to say that I didn't like One Direction and I never will, but I am also not ashamed to say that I love the solo efforts that some of the boys from this former boy band have made. I'd even say that the splitting of One Direction was the best thing to happen to them, as the quality has definitely improved, with Zayn releasing 'Pillowtalk', which I personally don't mind, and especially Harry Styles, who surprised us with how great 'Sign of the Times' was - I'd say Styles is one of the two boys from the band that I like the most. The other one here that I like is Niall Horan, who released 'This Town' last year, which I found okay but lacking in some fields and I found it to be quite ordinary. This year, however, he released 'Slow Hands', which, to my surprise, I actually found quite enjoyable. The song grabs your attention without even knowing that it has, and has you bopping along to it with its campy but completely singable melody. It's refreshing to have songs like this in the charts and I can't wait to see more songs like this. 5: Wild Thoughts - 7/10 - (see my review for the song in the US charts above). 4: Strip that Down - 5/10 - This is another attempt from a former member of One Direction to do well in the charts. Whilst Harry Styles and Niall Horan surprised me with how good their songs were (see 'Slow Hands' above) and Zayn's attempt at becoming an R&B heavyweight having some hits and misses, this attempt by Liam Payne however is something else. Whilst it's not bad per se, 'Strip that Down' is, well, not good, and Liam fails to match up with his fellow ex-band mates here. This song is just another ordinary pop song, with the feature by Quavo from Migos - a rap group that keeps popping up everywhere you go, with mixed results - just another ordinary guest rap verse. It's not bad and I definitely don't hate it, but it's nothing special, so moving on... 3: Feels: 10/10 - Wait, what??? A really good Calvin Harris song in the top 5? It's too hard to believe but it's true. Yes, 'Feels' is just the kind of song that is needed in the top ten right now (and the best in the top ten), and with the really funky, excellent production skills by Calvin, Pharrell's infectious groove, Katy Perry's BEST performance of 2017, and a surprisingly tolerable verse from Big Sean, even though it is winter here down under, it is the type of song that transports you to that perfect summer party. Need I say more about this? 'Feels' deserves the perfect score, and I do hope that this song becomes a #1 hit, because otherwise the Australian people would be robbed from the chance of having an awesome song at the top. Excellent job, Calvin Harris (and Pharrell, Katy and Big Sean, for making this song) and the Australian people (for giving it the popularity it so well deserves), excellent job indeed... 2: Thunder - 5/10 - Just like 'Believer', which is #5 in the US Billboard charts, 'Thunder' is *storming* up the charts here down under (sorry, I had to, just couldn't help myself). And just like 'Believer', 'Thunder' is another middle-of-the-road song, which means whilst I don't hate the song, I don't like it either. Alright, that one pretty much sums it up, so I'll get out of here before the *lightning* show starts (ok, sorry, I'll stop now). 1: Despacito - 1/10 - (see my review for the song in the US charts above). Ok, as I have now scored the charts, I'll conclude this by aggregating a total score of the US and of the Australian top ten charts. The US top ten get a total score of 40/100, which equals 4/10 or 40%, whilst the Australian top ten get a total score of 65/100, which equals 6.5/10 (13/20) or 65%. Make your conclusion of these results as you will...

[@mxcpxr2532]

Jonas Blue is a DJ, not a group.

[@ms94]

Whoops, my bad. I'll correct it for you. Thanks for picking it up though. :)

[@astoldbyneon43]

Who's still buying Meek Mill songs in 2017?

[@NoName-hk3lq]

*Enter Name Here* nobody is Meek Mill had bought his album sales.

[@disx1317]

*Enter Name Here* I dont know, but I will find them and force them to listen to an actual good album, you know, like the two albums that debuted HIGHER than his album.

[@astoldbyneon43]

Disx 131 Yeah that's what I found so weird about this situation especally. Both Tyler & Lana had the better selling albums and yet neither of them charted a single song this week. That's so weird...

[@cubedmelons876]

No one. They're all streaming it.

[@davidla5249]

its because of tidal and their fraudulent free streams

[@ethantone5028]

Damn I actually thought 1942 flows was decent but we'll see why you hate it but yeah gotta agree this week did pretty much stink

[@navinkling6028]

I'm just gonna say that it's great, you know, that closer has been in the chart for a year, and it's STILL in the top 40!

[@thomasivie3202]

[@andrewbianchi1294]

whatever to watch That's not what 2017 has been. 51 weeks where it needs to kill itself (the only other week was the one where DAMN. started up shit)

[@juliekeast6175]

I would say that the Australian singles chart is better with Kesha into the top 10 at number 7 with "Praying", "Feels" by Calvin Harris and co at number 3 and no sign of Meek Mill BUT...Sam Hunt ruined everything by entering the top 10 with "Body Like a Back Road". Ugh. On the positive side, it looks like "Symphony" by Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larson may just break into the Hot 100. *Fingers crossed*

[@usernameof5]

Meek Mill was great in the 2011 XXL cypher, what happened to him?

[@kernelpopcornthesarcastic6734]

Didnt Cruise last longer in the top 10 then Body Like A Backroad

[@sleepdeprivedpikachu7235]

i do like the fact that the first descendants song has a nice driving tempo, and i am a sucker for a good driving tempo

[@jimbabbbson7653]

With the peak-in-the-top-40-and-drop-out-of-the-top-50-after-spending-20-weeks-on-the-chart-and-you-drop-out rule, I'm surprised this much Linkin Park came back. I am happy, as all 3 I will say are decent to great songs. But I also thought One More Light (the song) would debut. I'd rather that than anything else that did debut except Back to You, that is actually a pretty good one.

[@starbucksicedteawoman]

You, however, deserved a little better than you got (fuck streaming) but definitely did better than your peak indicated. You will certainly be missed. 3:00 - If that one didn't deserve better, you DEFINITELY did. Goodbye. 3:02 - While some won't miss you, I wish you had done at least a little better than you did.

[@hankcyrus9776]

cineward despacito has 64,560 points(-8%) and wild thoughts has 46,780 points(+3%) so it might take a while. Wild thoughts need better sales.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

A discount on iTunes is a necessity at this point.

[@cccornel7722]

Back to you(Best of the week) Imitadora(Honorable mention) It's Goin' Down Heavy Heart What's my Name 1942 Flows Wins&Losses We Ball Issues (Dishonorable mention) Fuck that Check Up (Worst of the Week) God this week suck. Damn u America for blocking a great Tyler. the Creator or a decent Lana album for a bunch of mediocre Meek Mill's song. Plus his album is 17 tracks and 67 mins long. What more does he has to say. It's a sad the cast of the Descendants who aren't known for their music career made better music. To finish on a good note I do like Back to you.

[@crazyluigi6664]

Also, fuck them for not having Talking To Myself chart because of Meek Mill in particular!

[@lucyw4195]

(warning: my opinions are mostly just from listening to the radio) Yeah I still think Liam is making the worst music. Niall's is OK but not that interesting, same with Zayne (but I find Zayne more annoying). Harry is the most interesting and promising, but he still has maturing to do. I like Back to You but I've only heard it a couple times.

[@cccornel7722]

Lucy W IMO Niall>Louis>Liam>Zayn>Harry Even though Harry is last for me, it's more because I least enjoy his music. I still think he has more of a promising career then Zayn cause you're right he is annoying. I was one of the few people that kinda liked Strip that Down but Get Low was forgettable. Back to you was the song that propelled Louis over Liam. Niall leads cause I love Slow Hands and This Town is decent.

[@sheamcc2]

For some reason there's been a lot of weeks this year where I like your "worst of the week" or some middle tracks a whole lot better than your "best of the week" This is one of those weeks, 1942 flows is great, fuck that check up should be worst of the week just because being renegaded by Uzi should put you in rapper jail for at least a month

I like 3 artists on the billboard 100. #RascalFlatts, #KeithUrban, and #LinkinPark (#RIPChester).

[@disx1317]

Devin McCreery Stop with the hastags

[@lisbonsfragment6398]

Mark, Romeo Santos sounds different from the other mainstream Latin artists because he doesn't do Reggaeton. Bachata is a completely different genre.

[@disx1317]

Lisbon's Fragment I wouldnt say completely different...

[@Legion.6397]

Genuine question: Who cares about Meek Mill anyways?

[@aftershock16509]

Vapid idiots.

[@thejustinoshow7908]

It's not often that the #3 album on the 200 rules the charts. Even though #2 especially and yes even #1 being better. 1942 Flows (Best of the Week) Meek Actually has interesting lyrics! Wow! Imitatora (Honorable Mention) decent Spanish song. I'll take it. What's My Name (Dishonorable Mention) what a waste of a decent beat. It was semi-tolerable until the rap verse. It's worse then some meek mill verses. Yeah. The one with Meek and Young Thug (worst of the Week) I couldn't even stick around for the Thugger feature it was so boring.

[@mariokarter13]

It makes sense when you look at the numbers. Lana Del Rey earned 107K units with 80K album sales. Tyler, The Creator earned 106K units off of 70K album sales. But Meek Mill got 102K units with only 37K album sales. Remember, every album sale hurts your chances of getting individual tracks to chart, so Meek Mill's comparative shitload of streaming lands him more Hot 100 debuts.

[@cubedmelons876]

Still, doesn't really add up. Kendrick still has 4 songs on the chart despite only a 48k week, so I thought Lana and Tyler would be able to get at least something on there with similar numbers.

[@mariokarter13]

An album sale is a sale of every song on the album, ergo none of the individual tracks get a boost. The Hot 100 charts individual tracks, not full albums. It's also why earlier singles tend to perform better than later singles, if everyone that would possibly buy the album has already bought the album, why would they buy or stream the single from an album they already own?

[@starbucksicedteawoman]

Well mark has 28 thousand

[@themusikguySPECIAL]

Thank you for your perfect reviews on the Meek Mill songs. There was nothing remotely great about them, they all sucked. And the fact that his album sold less than 50k in pure sales proves that luckily his fanbase is starting to shrink. Without Tidal, there would no new entry from him this week.

[@FloydLorenzMashups]

Pillowtalk (Best of the Week) This Town (Best of the Week) Sign of The Times (Best of the Week) Strip It Down (Honourable Mention) Back To You (????) It would've been perfect...

[@crazyluigi6664]

I'd have been ecstatic if we saw some more Linkin Park (including Talking To Myself) and Tyler The Creator chart instead of Meek Mill, thank you very much. Seriously, fuck that guy for what he did there!

[@ivosvalgil5724]

RacingManiacMan ActuallyStrip that down was a HM

[@legendbtv]

Natalie Krane I honestly didn't care for it either TBH. I respect your opinion but it's just too basic

[@lucyw4195]

tbh I am really surprised Pillowtalk got best of the week. True to its name that song is just so sleepy, languid, trying to seem dramatic and failing. I forgot Mark liked it. Also, I like Back to You okay.

[@legendbtv]

Lucy W I don't like Pillow Talk Sign of The Times is good, except for the parts about the bullet the vocals annoy me Niall's slow hands is actually really good so no negativity here Liam ........... Sadly... Louis' song was just too bland and boring

[@davidzonunfela3680]

We need more country on the Hot 100!

[@orlock20]

We need more modern blues.

[@marklisowski6549]

orlock20 With Portugal the Man's charting and rising and The Revivalist possibly adding to the conservation in terms of mainstream relevance in the Bubbling Under, albeit hovering/clinging on, it could happen from rock based blues prospective. With country, I'm mixed with that. Yes, if it is something more of the neo-Traditional sound or Chris Stapleton that was initially pushed this year. Or some of the country ladies could make traction. The Hot 100 may not reflect it, but the women in country has produced some great songs. But something like rejected Luke Bryan bro-country from his presumed successor/replacement needs to go away.

[@crazyluigi6664]

I'd have been happier with more Linkin Park & Tyler The Creator myself, but country and modern blues works also.

[@legendbtv]

David Zonunfela NEED MORE AUTHENTIC EDM

[@legendbtv]

David Zonunfela WHY IS NOTHING BUT TRASH RAP TAKING OVER UGH

[@corycooldangerous]

I like Liam Payne's song lol

[@caitbooth96]

Meek Mill needs to go. Please

[@crazyluigi6664]

Especially for how he fucking ruined what should have been a fantastic week otherwise with more Linkin Park and maybe even some more Tyler The Creator charting!

[@caitbooth96]

Crazy Luigi Agreed. His trash songs screwed everything up for this week.

[@harrisonduncan8367]

Meek mill is just a bad rapper

[@kamalporter706]

It's "Be Be" Rexha not the way you say it lol

[@PolarianSymphony]

"Romeo Santos - Reggaeton" wtf Bachata is not reggaeton

[@andrewbreadholm5715]

[@alanbta1]

lol i'm starting to think this guy has a crush on meek with all the hate. another privileged white guy hating on hip hop, coming from a person that has a COC picture stay in ur lane.. Keep listening to Bieber

[@disx1317]

Clash of Clans with Alan He can comment on music just like everyone. Wheter the artist is black, white, hispanic, chinese... doesnt matter. Hes here to criticise all of this awful Meek Mill songs

[@naos8116]

He gave Bieber's last album a 5/10. So....

[@theidealistic7030]

+Clash of Clans with Alan Secondly, ending off with "keep listening to Bieber" is goddamn asinine for many reasons. How does him negatively reviewing Meek Mill (who isn't a good or particularly talented rapper, for the matter) determine his tastes in other music genres or even possibly raise the hasty assumption that he likes Justin Bieber? Besides, Spectrum Pulse isn't too fond of Bieber overall and considers him to be mediocre.

[@alanbta1]

lol I didn't even read this story you wrote, someone's in their feelings.

[@theidealistic7030]

+Clash of Clans with Alan I was merely setting you straight for the nonsense you spewed earlier. Plugging your ears and smugly dismissing your opponent as being "in their feelings" is plain lazy.
