Billboard BREAKDOWN - Hot 100 - March 25, 2017

[@SquidofBaconator]

Hey there folks, welcome to Spectrum Pulse. We talk about Ed Sheeran, Ed Sheeran, Ed Sheeran, and Ed Sheeran. And this is the Ed Sheeran Show!

[@orlock20]

It's better than the Drake show, but both artists put me to sleep.

[@mariokarter13]

Fun Fact: Barcelona was the intended lead single before Shape of You was written late in production.

[@ndx2k]

ed sheeran is that guy in Starbucks that judges you with his eyes, thrift store scarf, trillby, goodwill flannal, craft beer, and beat up acoustic guitar he bought from Damon albarn's cousin when you order a drink that doesn't have 20 words in it.

[@Sarah-oi3of]

Strictly Music That's so damn specific.

[@ndx2k]

it's true tho ain't it.

[@ethan6287]

wow, when is the last time that the one artist got both your honorable/dishonorble and best/worst

[@wimpy0914]

Ethan then again, it's because *ALL* new entries are by the same artist..

[@jeromeb715]

Now, NBA YoungBoy got that too

[@P.L.H.The2nd]

now Morgan Wallen

[@lmnqhlsthtq]

Post Malone and Juice WRLD too

[@joshisonwheels]

Love that Green Light has risen to the top 20. It just gets better everytime I hear it. Also Million Reasons hasn't flopped (again/yet), which is also a good thing.

[@naos8116]

I'm hoping "Million Reasons" can scrape the bottom of the year-end list just like "This Town" is going to do.

[@davidla5249]

it peaked at number 4, which is really good. its also gaining lots of airplay right now

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

Don't get too excited for the former. It's gonna drop hard next week. The latter has been quite a sleeper hit, though.

[@naos8116]

+Scott Rohrbeck It's getting a good amount of airplay, if it does drop, it won't be by much. Like, 5 or 6 at best. Maybe 10, but I really doubt that.

[@dustdivinity]

so how sick were you of saying "ed sheeran" by the end of this

[@samiali749]

Ariel Ezergailis I'm sick of hearing his music. Except from castle on the hill that album is terrible

[@jacobchace7819]

Sami Ali ....he was gone for two years....and his album has been out for a week...how are you sick of him 😂

[@samiali749]

Jacob Chace do you know what it's like to go to a school where the only music played is Coldplay, ed sheeran, chainsmokers and drake. These twats always play this on their expensive speakers so you can hear and smell the shit even more

[@jacobchace7819]

Sami Ali yeah I go to a public school lol don't think you're the only one. Just drown them out w/your own music. What do you listen to?

[@samiali749]

Jacob Chace I listen to rap and a bit of rnb. Favourites are kanye, Kendrick and frank ocean. I'm fine with people liking ed or whatever. It's so annoying when people say his music is artistic whilst sounding like it was made in a factory

[@crazyluigi6664]

In regards to #10, I do know that "I Feel It Coming" has a music video to help increase itself, and we might see Lorde come up (again), so we might see it end because of those two factors.

[@restlessbohemian]

"Green Light" went all the way up to NINETEEN?? 😍😍 And I'm so glad "Galway Girl" made best of the week. I adore that song.

[@ashtonthornton912]

Billboard Breakdown / Divide track by track review

[@liamcarmody4217]

I'd rather have the Ed Sheeran show or the Weeknd show or even the expected Chainsmokers show once their album comes out over the impending More Life Drake Show coming

[@jisforjae]

Liam Carmody honestly, all of them can go. we seriously need new, legitimately fun/talented artists!

[@kiks2793]

the chainsmokers over Drake man i wouldn't go this low

[@willapted6930]

Liam Carmody the weeknd show, Beyonce show, j Cole show and Kanye show are all twice as good as the ed sheeran show

[@DihStyle69]

don't put the weeknd, ed sheeran and the chainsmokers in the same category, not even close. the weeknd is like a seat, ed sheeran a fiat and the chainsmokers a wrecked car as far as quality goes. none are that great but at least the weeknd has some good efforts under his belt. ed sheeran is a corn fest. chainsmokers are fuckin trash. idc about drake but he does better music than ed sheeran and the chainsmokers all day.

[@mikecraig2062]

Liam Carmody can tell your not a fan of Drake but from the first singles I'm looking forward to the album, also there's no way the Chainsmokers are better than Drake.

[@legendbtv]

Way Down We Go by Kaleo was picking up on iTunes so if it wasn't for ED SHEERAN then maybe it would've reentered because it's a great song

[@MusicNerdDavid]

Ranked best to worst: Galway girl by Ed Sheeran (Best of the week) Barcelona by Ed Sheeran (Honorable mention) Eraser by Ed Sheeran What do I know by Ed Sheeran Perfect by Ed Sheeran Supermarket flowers by Ed Sheeran Happier by Ed Sheeran Hearts don't break around here by Ed Sheeran Dive by Ed Sheeran (Dishonorable mention) New man by Ed Sheeran (Worst of the week)

[@sergiomanzanares4415]

Will you be reviewing Khalid's debut album American Teen?

[@lukeberrie3942]

Bruh Ed Sheeran has 16 songs in our top 20 in the UK. No kidding.

[@andrewmendez2460]

Mark you forgot to mention that your favorite Shawn Mendes song of 2016 is finally out of the Hot 100!

[@riddypr]

Except he did mention that.

[@andrewmendez2460]

riddy-pr he did? I must have missed it, my bad!

[@dabbingmannequinsgaming7030]

Actually, "Treat You Better" wasn't his favorite song off Shawn Mendes in 2016. That title went to "Mercy," which is still on the chart right now. In fact, Mark dissed "Treat You Better" so much that it was even #1 on his "Worst Songs List" of the year.

[@Blondieflay]

*sarcasm unnoticed*

[@tinaw51796]

@@dabbingmannequinsgaming7030tfw you miss the joke

[@lomaxturner9745]

'Green Light' is losing steam - it may barely hold in the Top 40 next week. I still hope it'll hit the Top 10 eventually though! I also hope 'Liability' by Lorde charts next week so that Mark can review that terrific album cut :)

[@maximilianasmr7202]

Lomax Turner green light is no 19 on the billboard chart

[@lomaxturner9745]

Maximilian Jens yeah, but that may be it's peak.

[@maximilianasmr7202]

Lomax Turner someone is optimistic ..... you can tell if is the peak by just the 2 week on the billboard chart?lol OK? I think she has a pretty good shot but we will see in 2 weeks time

[@juanaguayo6113]

Nice Ed Sheehan Album review!!!

[@itspricila]

im really liking green light sad that its not in the top 3

[@RichardBatchelorComposer]

Welcome to spectrum pulse, we talk about music, movies, art and culture, and this, is Ed Sherran breakdown!!

[@benjatheworst7050]

I was hoping Green Light would make it into the top 20 so I'm happy

[@trentonm6688]

I thought that nicki's songs would chart this week I guess they technically count for next week

[@lydiavalentino]

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time he says "Ed Sheeran"

[@sleepdeprivedpikachu7235]

Galway girl is probably my favorite Ed Sheeran song, my girlfriend is Irish, I can’t help it, it just makes me happy. I’d probably find some other songs in his catalog that I’d enjoy if I dig deeper into it, but I refuse sue to the fact that my brother would never let me hear the end of it.

[@willapted6930]

Next week The Weeknd will kill Closer because of I Feel it Coming's video!!!

[@thatonedude9744]

I'd love to hear a review of the new Strand of Oaks album

[@BenEarlyGhostFish]

1.Supermarket Flowers (The only song from divide that's even close to the two initial singles) 2.Galway Girl 3.Eraser 4.New Man 5.Barcelona 6.Perfect 7.Happier 8.Hearts Don't Break Around Here 9.What Do I Know? 10.Dive (I'm shocked Ed could make something THIS bad)

[@jaredkok4378]

So this is basically Divide review 2.0

[@tost693]

best: galway girl honourable: what do i know worst: dive dishonourable: happier

[@dfm6868]

thank you for blessing my insomnia. (its 1:30 am here in maryland)

[@legendbtv]

But yeah I agree Closer is straight garbage and I hate that it just won't leave

[@dabbingmannequinsgaming7030]

And Closer came back, the very next day. And Closer came back, it just wouldn't stay away...

[@ililil987]

OMG if this song breaks how do I live's record. F NOO

[@FloydLorenzMashups]

I’m just waiting for Thumbs to enter the Billboard Hot 100... but with Drake releasing his album in a few days... i guess i’ll have to wait longer.

[@wimpy0914]

RacingManiacMan lol pity you.. we all know the feeling...

[@saythatishwithurchest]

RacingManiacMan ik!! She currently in the Top 50 on iTunes and has decent streaming, it's been #4 on the Bubbling Under 100 these past 3 weeks

[@naos8116]

Along with what the other person said, it has radio too! It's #30 on Top 40 radio.

[@liamcarmody4217]

RacingManiacMan I've been waiting for Sabrina Carpenter to even crack the chart for a long time

[@hnh5618]

Better Man already had its album impact week which is why it fell so hard, it already had its 2 weeks on top of country radio... it's done

[@orlock20]

I prefer Better Man by Beth Hart. When I heard that better man was on the chart, I thought it was a Beth Hart cover at first.

[@BHOPDaMaestro]

This is the first time in Billboard BREAKDOWN history where all of the new entries come from one artist. Will it ever happen again? Who knows. Next week, expect a bunch of Nicki Minaj tracks to chart. *frustrated groan*

[@jeromeb715]

Yes, It happened for NBA YoungBoy a few weeks ago

[@jacobchace7819]

Is it just me...or does mark look like lonzo ball 😂

[@crazyluigi6664]

It's just you! Seriously, he looks nothing like the potential Top 3 pick in this year's upcoming draft at all.

[@legendbtv]

2017 better bring some new albums from some of my favorite artists because as of now not too many of my favorites have released anything yet except some singles

[@amediumhorse]

Ed is on a roll and rightfully so That guy's got some talent and his efforts are gallant.

[@kevshearer1997]

Fun fact: "Green Light"'s 81 spot jump is tied for the 10th highest in Billboard Hot 100 history. It's tied with "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20 and "It Ain't Me" by Kygo & Selena Gomez.

[@benallan2328]

LandonFandon38 Didn't It Ain't Me jump 82 spots? I swear it was from #93 to #11. I may be wrong though.

[@NinHawk8940]

Ed Sheeran had all the new debuts this week and not even all of the songs made it on too the charts In the UK he has like 16 songs in the Top 20 right now

[@jamesmeadows5763]

NinHawk actually 17, if you count one of the remixes of shape of you

[@ThunderTails95]

I might have to listen to Divide on Apple Music today tbh.

[@toastyfootprint888]

Jonathan Andrews im a huge fan of eds music but i didn't like Divide. i liked a total of 3 songs and the remaining songs i didn't even consider decent :/ i was really disappointed to be honest but hopefully you feel differently

[@alienator345]

Overall I'd give the album a B grade. Castle on the Hill is the best with New Man being the worst. I do enjoy Supermarket Flowers and Galway Girl. And I think Perfect is a beautiful ballad, but too much boring mediocrity for me to be in love with the album

[@Betta66]

Green Light didn't break the Top 10, unfortunately.

[@ililil987]

More like welcome to the Ed sheeran breakdown. Holyyyyy shit He's finally getting really big lul

[@krisdaschwab912]

Ed really doubled down on the "white guy with an acoustic guitar" borefest. Nearly put me to sleep.

[@maxslepian7798]

id really like to see either blackbear or eden get a spot on a hot 100. ive been a pretty big fan of both of them for as long as i cam remember, and i think its time they get their billboard spot. both very talented, underrated artists imo

[@daltonriser1125]

galway girl is best of the week

[@insertfirstnameinsertlastn1755]

-and this is Ed Sheeran Breakdown!

[@brigoesvocal4230]

Okay but I love that description is that bad-

[@thejustinoshow7908]

Did Cash Me Outside finally drop out?

[@MrGOOMBAGUY]

Yup.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

How is Ed Sheeran so big?😵 Also, if C******* eventually becomes bigger than Uptown Funk, I will lose my sanity. Sigh

[@naos8116]

It likely will. It could be #1 hit of the decade (if it ends up passing "Party Rock Anthem").

[@namelessanonymous7860]

+Naos I sure hope not!

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

So true. Uptown Funk deserved that 32nd week, not this.

[@namelessanonymous7860]

+Rose Mulet you could be right, nothing is being able to stop it :(

[@glennpicardo2339]

Alternate Title: Ed Sheeran- Divide- Album Review- Take II

[@11LuStar]

Eraser is a great ass song, best of the week AND honorable mention imo

[@vanguardofthevoid740]

I didn't even bother watching the new arrivals

[@timetobehonestbaby8431]

ok did i miss it last time or did you forget to mention that love by lana dropped out:(?

[@naos8116]

He didn't mention it because it didn't last long.

[@benlemoing8244]

Green Light is plummeting on itunes, i dont think it will break the top 10

[@Ericis323]

future Finley got his long awaited solo top 40 dabout

[@devinmccreery8003]

I like 3 artists of the billboard 100 charts. Vince Gill, Chris Young, and cold play.

[@orlock20]

I'm now at the third stage of oldness when it comes to the hot 100. Stage 1: I know the artists and I like some of the songs. Stage 2: I know the artists, but rarely like the music. Stage 3: I have no idea who these people are and why they are playing such garbage.

[@devinmccreery8003]

Yeah, i'm barely hanging by A thread on stage #2 . Maybe after country gets A new star or 2, Ill be @ #3.

[@themattbrownfilms]

i'd love to see maggie rogers alaska chart or become a hit :,)

[@benallan2328]

Best of the Week - What Do I Know by Ed Sheeran Honourable Mention - Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran Hearts Don’t Break Around Here by Ed Sheeran Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran Barcelona by Ed Sheeran Perfect by Ed Sheeran Dive by Ed Sheeran New Man by Ed Sheeran Dishonourable Mention - Happier by Ed Sheeran Worst of the Week - Eraser by Ed Sheeran

[@kcisthegoat8646]

I hated dive too, so annoying

[@raytheflyingsquirrel12]

BOTW: Perfect HM: Galway Girl DM: N/A WOTW: N/A

[@zdoggzero6595]

is.... is this a prank? bro?

[@crazyluigi6664]

Nope! It's not (really) a social experiment either! :P

[@kbg12ila]

I don't get why he's that big. Like this is too much...

[@orlock20]

It's charisma. I have no idea why most pop stars are big except that they are signed to major labels with a lot of cash to blow on publicity.

[@zooka0619]

Best of the Week: None of them. Honorable Mention: None of them. Worst of the Week: All of them. Dishonorable Mention: All of them. Seriously, screw Ed Shitham.

[@chron5798]

zooka0619 no tell us how you really feel. You're sugar coating it

[@zooka0619]

Chrono I mean I could tear into them but they all sound the same to me, I think that's all I need to say lmao

[@NorthKoreanComedian]

This comment doesn't make much sense. You saying none of them are the best of the week, all that's saying is you like all songs equally. I don't think you thought this song through.

[@jisforjae]

zooka0619 YES. hate him and his below average music.

[@Joe-zb9ps]

Gaga fan or serious?

[@juliekeast6175]

I'll happily take the worst Ed Sheeran song over 2Chainz featuring Ty Dolla $ign and co's new single "It's a Vibe" (as a woman I find that song absolutely vile) and most other luxury rap

[@FaceClef]

Lorde's song jumped 81 spots...why are you acting like it flopped lol

[@orlock20]

Due to single sales, it kind of did. That size of jump could be the difference between 10,000 sales and 30,000 sales.

[@lydiavalentino]

e d s h e e r a n

[@cowcowmoomoo5138]

Am i the only one who thinks divide is boring?

[@orlock20]

That's what I have thought of pop music for the last 5 years or so.

[@mfocatalin]

it's ed's week

[@thekingrshank2720]

WHEN IS "WEAK" ENTERING THE HOT 100? That is the most lit song ever!!!!! AJR IS THE BEST BAND EVER!

[@naos8116]

It has barely anything in sales.

[@aneek7287]

God, the channel, and the comment section is full of Ed Sheeran haters...

[@MarKikiMadness]

Eddie Sheerthesheep

[@akiranatsume3501]

personally none of the new arrivals were even interesting to listen to as it was just Ed Sheeran. I am not a big fan of him.

[@37willdog]

Under 301

[@blendisheremeti1676]

Divide is a boring and bland album imo

[@mikecraig2062]

Blendi Sheremeti I wouldn't necessarily call it boring but definitely bland

[@toastyfootprint888]

Blendi Sheremeti i was definitely disappointed

[@mikerivera373]

Then you haven't listened to Galway Girl or Nancy Mulligan. Those songs are both full of energy (and also very Irish-sounding as well)

[@6ean6oy]

first
