Billboard BREAKDOWN - Hot 100 - August 19, 2017

[@JudaiEldritch]

"Thomas RRRHETTTTTT." I love the disgust in Mark's voice whenever he has to say that name.

[@parkersairpods]

New Rules better have some traction for a late summer jam

[@sickboy8914]

@@kobcritic624 Some REALLY good news lol

[@camerinian]

Anyone else excited that, unless Signs picks up, next week is gonna be the first week on the Hot 100 in 8 years without Drake on it???

[@cubedmelons876]

Watch as he releases something on Thursday that lets him cling to the chart for another week.

[@disx1317]

Zachary Jones Lets hope that doesnt happen

[@usernameof5]

[@Blondieflay]

it'll be gone next week

[@camhollar3016]

Passion fruit still on there

[@mariokarter13]

I can't foresee Honest becoming nearly as successful as The Chainsmokers' previous singles. The album was so bad that their hype just evaporated overnight.

[@ba4111]

mariokarter13 it won't all their fans already bought the song and it's not that special to begin with.

[@ch-ww4im]

mariokarter13 i'm surprised it charted Because the third single is Young and not Honest

[@naos8116]

+Carlos Henrique Prado No. Honest went to radio. Young did not.

[@ch-ww4im]

Naos then why did they release a lyric video for Young

[@naos8116]

+Carlos Henrique Prado Sometimes, people release videos for songs that aren't really singles. Like "Zillionaire" by Flo Rida.

[@jackyvstheworld]

I really hope SZA takes off even more. The fact that Love Galore is in the Top 40 is amazing. If more singles from CTRL break through on the charts, I'd be in heaven.

[@astoldbyneon43]

Agreed! I'm just praying that "Prom" might get released as a future single

[@disx1317]

*Enter Name Here* Maybe Doves in the wind?

[@legendbtv]

*Enter Name Here* YESSSSS !!!!! MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THAT ALBUM

[@cubedmelons876]

Hilarious how the big release from 7/9 is turning out to be CTRL rather than Witness.

[@legendbtv]

Zachary Jones SZA did a lot better job. Thank god Good music actually won out in the end ..... Phew. Couldn't take much more Katy perry crap she's way past her prime

[@tyreliverson7841]

I literally count the days until the next billboard breakdown every week. Mark I love this series so much ❤️

[@namelessanonymous7860]

2:42 Such a catharsis! I HATED the 52-week rule for taking out Uptown Funk. But this time I actually kinda love it.

[@sidtv2542]

The worst thing about that rule is that it robbed Uptown Funk of being #1 of the decade. So now party rock anthem is still in the lead.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

+SidTV25 IKR? Sigh. Then again, Hello, which was on the chart for 26 weeks is a bigger hit than Radioactive, which was on the chart for 87 weeks. Go figure.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

+Tejas Kalyan I am sorry. It's just my opinion. It's not a personal attack against you. And yeah, its ubiquity did make me dislike it more, but I didn't like in the first place either.

[@mike04574]

dude, its not even top 8, the top 8 longest charting songs all had more than 62 weeks including lmfao, whats the big deal

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

Yeah, Uptown Funk being robbed is easily the worst thing to come out of it. As for me, I didn't like Closer at first, but it grew on me to a degree, not to the point where I would pay money to listen to it whenever, but I do like it when all's said and done. Though it's no surprise that there are people here who have loathed Closer from day one. Also, according to Pulse predictions, Radioactive is projected to be higher on the Decade-End Hot 100 than Hello is, so there.

[@astoldbyneon43]

Dua Lipa, Kesha and Sza all debuting in the hot 100? I must be dreaming!

[@disx1317]

*Enter Name Here* This week was great! :D

[@teddyhaines6613]

Dua Lipa probably won't last long, unfortunately.

[@disx1317]

Teddy Haines Lets hope she does

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Oh no New rules is gaining on radio and streaming expect New Rules to be a huge hit for her.

[@urtarsmusicreviews8775]

@@teddyhaines6613 this aged poorly.

[@atw8204]

I was so happy that New Rules finally charted on the billboard hot 100! It was about time it went on it.

[@andrewprep6805]

Its crazy how closer spent a whole year in the top 40. Its depressing in a way, but still impressive

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

Indeed. CSTF had one week outside of the Top 40 (the week that DAMN. album bombed), and Uptown Funk debuted at #65 on the final chart week of 2014.

[@mike04574]

its not even on the top 8 list of longest charting songs

[@PyrusnVentus]

MIKEDOES thats because they changed the rules so that if a song is on the chart for a year and it is below the top 25 it is out. I am not sure when the top 50 rule was implemented, but the first rule accounts for runs that would otherwise continue for a while, like Uptown Funk and Cant stop the Feeling and Cheap Thrills and Don't Let Me Down

[@mike04574]

what I'm saying total weeks on the hot 100, radioactive had 87 weeks on all of the chart

[@freepalestine3381]

halsey's impact

[@Freezeflame22]

Unforgettable is quite forgettable since there is already another song called Unforgettable, which is in the top 10 so is a lot less forgettable than Unforgettable

[@ivosvalgil5724]

Freezeflame22 :P My brain exploded

[@mikecraig2062]

It's really telling how fast SZA is rising as an artist when "Love Galore" looks like it is rising enough to possibly stick around and a non single track in "The Weekend" has charted.

[@rockstarkicking]

Niall should've/should still make a music video for 'Slow Hands'. It hit top 15 without one

[@sabrinamiah15]

I don't think he will, he was filming a music video for his next single a few days ago.

[@harrisonf7]

your face while reading the Future line is hilarious

[@FlutterLights]

I'm really curious of how far Despacito is going to go. In my opinion, hitting the record of most viewed video on KZbin while still at #1 seems like it has a good chance of going far. I'm wondering if it will make it to 16 weeks at #1 or not. Also, Feel it Still is my favorite song so far this year.

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Feel It Still is doing fantastic on the radio and streaming!

[@mike04574]

the most of all time was 18 weeks i think

[@FlutterLights]

MIKEDOES It's actually 16 from "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men

[@FlutterLights]

True Music Reviews im so happy about Feel It Still

[@jamesm2955]

I've got new rules, I count 'em.

[@disx1317]

BOTW: Wish i knew you (this is amazing and what alternative should sound like. Learn something Halsey!) HM(tie): New rules and Learn to let go (both are really good pop songs, i love them) WOTW: Honest (Just crap)

[@trymikefirst]

I think Unforgettable is going to hit number 1 eventually

[@dovahduck]

HPFMav Certainly has a bigger chance than "Wild Thoughts."

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

CRYDELUXE Luis Fonsi kinda deserves it tho. My opinion, Justin Beiber remix can go fuck itself

[@parkersairpods]

Enemyknight the only reason it's in the top 40 is because of the remix. An overrated white boy leaching onto Latin culture for a little extra coin. His fans have been waiting for new music so of course they're gonna but it. It looks like it will break the record tbh

[@astoldbyneon43]

When I first saw this comment I thought you where talking about the Thomas Rhett song and I questioned if you where crazy for a moment, lol. But for real, I agree that Unforgettable does have a good chance of getting to #1, it's gaining a lot faster, that's for sure

[@Wicked_Dreamer]

I hope it does, I think it's a good song (and I'm hoping "Despacito" will be dethroned sometime in the next 2 weeks).

[@cioccolato2124]

REDBONE WENT UP TO NUMBER 12. YAAAAH seriously if gambino reaches the top i will be mad proud of him he got snubbed two times in 2013 with Sweatpants and 3005.

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

I knew "Wish I Knew You" got here off of a commercial, but is this how we are going to get all of our alternative hits from now on? This and "Feel It, Still" and "Down" from earlier this year all made it in the same way. It's halfway disheartening for someone who consistently listens to alternative radio.

[@37willdog]

I think it's really funny how bad the promotion is going for this new Selena Gomez album. Both singles are failing miserably and there hasn't been any announcement as to when it's releasing. I don't think there's anything she can really do to turn this around

[@saythatishwithurchest]

37willdog she herself really gave up this era, i mean promoting yourself for a little bit ain't bad, but she herself hates promoting her stuff which worries me about her album and how hard its gonna flop

[@RSully94]

Three years later and we finally have it. Lol

[@cicabeot1]

It excited me more than it should have that Mark used the phrase Album Bomb.

[@ThePhl4ever]

I'm surprised I wish I knew you just hit the hot 100 as it came out in 2015 and it has been all over alternative radio all year

[@ch-ww4im]

Off : does anyone know if Chained To The Rhythm or Sign Of The Times can make the year end list ?

[@xephiel3144]

Carlos Henrique Prado I'd say both will barely make it.

[@averykeeler6157]

Carlos Henrique Prado i hope sign of the times does

[@crazyluigi6664]

I think Sign of The Times can make it, but not Chained To The Rhythm.

[@xephiel3144]

Crazy Luigi Chained To The Rhythm will definitely make it, it had more weeks in the top 10

[@naos8116]

Both probably will.

[@WushuKnight19]

There is no adult human being on Earth with a decent career who would ever see a song called "You Da Baddest" and not wonder why they aren't richer than Future.

I do dislike when Andrew Taggort gets on the mic. But they can make some catchy drops( even if it is recycled or lazy) and they did introduce me to Phoebe Ryan.

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

I actually knew Phoebe Ryan from that one song of hers Mine, which was on Sirius XM Hits 1 for a little while. But I do think the hate that The Chainsmokers get is at least kind of excessive. :/ And the album did have its two top 10 singles which I did feel like had good to them.

[@mariokarter13]

The mixing on Learn To Let Go is terrible. The pre-chorus is the worst offender with about 3-4 different tracks with similar note patterns all clashing at once. It's just a mess that didn't need to happen.

[@disx1317]

mariokarter13 I kinda love it. Hymn on the other hand is pretty bad

[@legendbtv]

mariokarter13 Yeah not really as excited for the Kesha record as everyone else seems to be. I'll probably cover it though

Wish I Knew You (Best Of the Week) ABOUT TIME THIS GOT HERE WOO. The Weekend (Honorable Mention) Not SZA's best, but I'll take it, happy she's having success. No Rules (Other Honorable Mention) I didn't hate any other new entries this week as much as I liked this one. Great groove on this tune. You Da Baddest (Worst of the Week) Future and Nicki Minaj: What Could Go Wrong?! Spoiler Alert, a lot. Next week XO Tour Llif3 will remain in the top 20 thanks to the lyric video, Bodak Yellow might hit top 10, its momentum is incredible. I honestly have no idea if Despacito will remain @ number one, but I definitely think that Unforgettable gets at least #2. And worst of all, thanks to astronomical KZbin, expect Jake Paul to return next week. Joy.

[@crazyluigi6664]

Why is Unforgettable rising so damn much in the first place?! I just find it meh at best and more tiresome with its sound at worse.

[@ms94]

Penis Anthony Doublingé I can already predict that, when Jake Paul's new atrocity enters the top 100, Spectrum Pulse would rightfully trash it and make it worst of the week.

[@crazyluigi6664]

At least I can say we don't have to be geniuses to figure that shit out!

[@disx1317]

Crazy Luigi You guys are talking about that KZbin star diss right. It was awful

[@ms94]

Yep, we are, unfortunately. Let's hope that pretentious, exploitative, untruthful and hypocritical song doesn't get too high - higher than, let's say, #95 - considering that it will be in the top 100, which in a sane world wouldn't ever happen at all, but it is 2017 and in this musical climate, truth is indeed stranger than fiction, and in our case, this truth is not going to be good for us.

[@legendbtv]

Would rather have All The Pretty Girls by Kaleo instead

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

LegendBTV That is indeed the better song, though not my favorite from Kaleo

[@legendbtv]

KDog1265 Maybe not, but I still like it. Btw did Way Down We Go Chart ? Because I remember it was decently big and I heard in on the radio a few times

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

LegendBTV Yeah, at about 53 or somewhere around that. It started charting this last winter

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Symphony is coming either next week or the week after. The Teen Choice Awards performance will save that song! Symphony is coming very soon and the charts will love that song! I can't wait. But I agree Honest is a bad single compared to Young which should have been a single because that song is actually not that bad.

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

But both songs have great beats that's why a lot of people liked them.

[@desmondmaynard9865]

did anyone else notice that no female artist has top the hot 100 as a lead artist this so year. so far all the #1 hits were all by male artist. Judging by how cardi b song is quickly climbing up the charts it may have a chance of being #1 in weeks to come. if it hits #1 it will be the first time this year a female act top the charts. Who knows what will happens with these charts. But for now either wild thoughts or unforgettable will probably be the next #1 in a week or two.

Why couldn't Drake Bell's Honest debut instead? Much better song. Right, cause pop radio won't touch his music. That aside, I don't hate Unforgettable. I guess after Star of the Show, I softened on him. I wonder what's going to stick around.

[@astoldbyneon43]

Wait...Drake Bell is making music? That's a surprise.

[@naos8116]

+*Enter Name Here* He's made music since like, 2003 lol. He's even made music with Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats (if you don't know who they are, they're a legendary rockabilly band from the 80s). He kinda sold out and is making full on pop now, but it's not bad. How did you not know he made music? He did the theme song to Drake & Josh.

I have some constructive criticism - Please consider adding some sort of warning in the beginning of videos where you talk about or mention politics. A lot of people (like myself) use music as an escape from the bullcrap in the world and usually dislike being reminded of it. Anyways, you make great content and I love watching your videos.

[@naos8116]

When did he talk politics? Sorry, I don't see it.

[@krisdaschwab912]

Emperor of Rome first of all, sometimes music contains political themes. Secondly, fuck Alabama.

[@davidleary7393]

That Luke Combs song makes me want to check out the album. I can't stand the production on Hurricane but he has a good voice. Kenny Chesney has been coasting for years. Every Jason Aldean single after the abomination that was Burnin' it Down sounds the same and has similar lyrics (They Don't Know, Gonna Know We Were Here, Just Getting Started etc.) Then think back to songs like Amarillo Sky and The Truth. He's capable of better. Kind of like Blake Shelton after Boys Round Here, Some really good early singles then everything else was just OK or flat-out awful.

[@caitbooth96]

I'm quite pleased there was more country in the Top 100 this week. Mostly pop-infused bro country, but a very nice break from awful trap music :D

'Body Like a Backroad' is probably one of the shittiest songs I've heard all year. Unfortunately it is now #10 in the ARIA Charts (the Australian charts) as well as #10 in the Billboard Hot 100, as the radio and ignorant people streaming the song here down under are pushing this song up the charts because somehow they think it's "good".

Being someone who already doesnt like country music, seeing Body Like a Backroad do so well is a shock to me. The problem is, now it seems half the hot 100 is country. Now some people may say that some country songs are pop, but no, it is all country to me, and it has really drawn the year down.

Beth Hart was better with her return after drug addiction and her bi-polar disorder. Live at Live at Paradiso (her first comeback concert, helped by the fact that it originally was suppose to be a lounge act, but to excessive demand, it was moved to the main stage) is my favorite concert of all time. Beth has written better country songs than these bro country artists.
