Billboard BREAKDOWN - Hot 100 - May 18, 2024 (Not Like Us, Family Matters, meet the grahams)

[@piran1807]

To give a sense of how strong the Hot 100 is right now in terms of consumption, ‘Lose Control’ is #10 but is performing better than when it went to #1 (without an album bomb affecting its position), and three different songs could set a new weekly on-demand streaming record in the US next week! 😳

[@meepswag35]

Did lose control actually manage to reach number 1? I thought it kept getting blocked

[@piran1807]

@@meepswag35 Yeah, it was the March 30 dated chart. You're probably thinking of 'Beautiful Things'.

‘Not Like Us’ debuting at #1 with only five days of tracking is very impressive. Kendrick also gets BOTW for the second week in a row with ‘Meet The Grahams’. He’s absolutely killing it right now! 🔥

@@Discoursivist Bruh, it's enjoyable enough in its own right, regardless of whether it's just that or not.

[@beatoriche7301]

Glad to see that viewpoint here! It's really grown on me over the past week as a piece of music, and it's also by far the most important song to (maybe?) penetrate into the cultural mainstream this year. I'm honestly simultaneously surprised and not surprised that the genocide in Gaza has attracted so little protest music in the mainstream - given the extraordinary political repression on those speaking out for Palestine right now, it makes sense that the music industry at large might be a bit cagey about addressing the controversy and/or itself partake in that repression, but it also seems like such a clear Vietnam War moment, and there are clearly artists who have spoken about this issue outside of their music (including Drake of all people).

[@piran1807]

@@beatoriche7301 Agreed. It's obviously a very sensitive topic for many people and the political backlash could be a factor too, but I think it's an important issue to address nonetheless and I admire Macklemore for having the courage to speak out about it, not just about what's happening in Gaza but also the horrific ways the police have been acting towards peaceful protestors in the US.

[@beatoriche7301]

@@piran1807 I do too - I've never been the biggest Macklemore fan, but something no one can take away from him is his willingness to learn about serious issues and quite openly discuss his personal journey in his music, going back at least as far as The Heist (and possibly before that - I haven't listened to any of his earlier output). You can think that his writing on these topics is occasionally a bit clumsy or preachy, but in the end, I think you gotta respect his willingness to delve into important subjects very few mainstream artists are willing to touch on, and Hind's Hall certainly made my respect for the man skyrocket. Fills me with Seattle-area local pride that he was the first mainstream artist to do something like this, haha - and I certainly hope he won't be the last and that some more artists will respond to his call. I hope we've moved past small stuff like signing ceasefire letters or wearing pins at an award show (stuff that, let's be honest, only those of us who are super plugged in to pop culture) and that opposition to Israel's crimes in Gaza will soon become much more visible within the culture at large. In some ways, I understand the silence of many celebrities (including prominent Palestinians like DJ Khaled), which probably has its roots in cynical business calculations (as in, will I get Dixie Chicked if I do this? Will it alienate some part of my audience? Which, in fairness, are not unreasonable fears to have.) and a degree of humility (as in, why would people want to hear from me of all people? People usually hate it when celebrities insert themselves into these kinds of topics.), but I also believe that what Israel is doing in Gaza is probably the greatest moral atrocity of the past half-century or so and that raising awareness of what the US is currently funding is incredibly important. For better or for worse, mainstream artists have a mass appeal that will potentially get many more people to hear them out in comparison to, say, political talking heads. If dissent on this enters the cultural mainstream, the pressure on politicians will increase dramatically, and it becomes a lot more difficult to justify those authoritarian crackdowns you alluded to.

Congrats on Radical Optimism for being the first Billboard album I listened to. Unless you count stuff like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and American Idiot.

You know it's gonna be an interesting album when you look at the track list on Spotify, and only one song has an "E" under the title. It just occurred to me that waiting until this week to talk about that album would've been better if it had an album bomb. Oh well.

Tennessee by Kevin Abstract and Lil Nas X: Solid track, with great production, fantastic vocals from Kevin and Nas, and good lyrics. Really cool song. Do I look Like Andrew Garfield by Ringpop: A really fun bop, with infectious production, great vocals, and enjoyable lyrics. Really rockin tune! Desert Portal by Andrew Huang and Blue Man Group: An insanely cool track, with the Blue Man Group doing their thing Zombieland by JAX and HARDY: A goofy, yet fun track, with good production, solid vocals from JAX and HARDY, and silly lyrics. Pretty fun track.

[@dariohernandez9967]

This week was definitely the most complicated with the diss tracks and almost disguises the big debut coming next week that is basically guaranteed to debut at the top. But there is an open question on whether we get the album bomb from Gunna's "One of Wun", or maybe the surprise album release of Childish Gambino's "Atavista" if the streaming momentum holds up, or something from the Bubbling Under that I will talk about right now. 1. These Walls by Dua Lipa (New) (Given how the streaming numbers weren't consistently strong all week, I am not surprised this barely missed the charts this week.) 2. Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons (+19) (This song likely got a big boost with the J Balvin version that added to the total numbers.) 3. If We Being Real by Yeat (-1) 4. Red Wine Supernova by Chappell Roan (=) 5. Sundress by A$AP Rocky (+2) 6. Luna by Feid & ATL Jacob (-1) 7. Your Place by Ashley Cooke (+3) 8. Revival by Zach Bryan (+8) 9.

I've watched the Eurovison every year for as long as I can remember, but didn't this year. We weren't boycotting it, so it just slipped through the cracks I guess. I watched a few of the performances afterwards though... the winner was very good I thought, the Netherlands one was hilarious, but also terrible, and Ireland's was questionable - but the fact that it placed so high suggests that Ireland might be trying to win the competition again. I also thought that Greece's entry was quite strong this year, if not very tuned in to what sort of song wins the competition these days.

So what do we think of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's newest smash hit which will inevitably go to #1 next week, I Had Some Help?

Putting aside the pretty bitter and non descriptive lyrics, this is actually an above average song. I really like the production, it sounds pretty fitting for the summer, Post Malone fits surprisingly well on him than any other genre has quite frankly, and even Morgan himself sounds fine over it. If this becomes a massive hit during summertime (which it definitely looks like its primed to do), I wouldnt really have a problem with it, its fine.

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

The only song that released last Friday that matters is Wow! Wow! Wow! by Royal Republic. Getting a new song from them and a new Planet of the Apes movie on the same day was nice. The only reason why I'm not making a comment where I trick you into thinking I'm gonna talk the big song, only to talk about something else is because I already did last week. Ignoring how a song made by band who never charts that I like a lot released on the same day as a song with a discourse man, my thoughts on Wow! Wow! Wow! are this. Hmm, I did not expect a fifth single pre-album release. I didn't even expect a fourth one. Usually, you're lucky to get a fourth one after the album release with most artists. I should add that with each of the new Royal Republic songs, I noticed I like each one somewhat less than the last, but all of them except My House, which clicked with me right away, grew on me. Though I did like Ain't Got Time more first listen than I did with LoveCop and Lazerlove. While Wow! Wow! Wow! did continue that tradition, I still like it. It's silly, but in an enjoyable way. The transition between the third verse and the sax solo is awesome. And it further confirmed to me that Lazerlove is a purposely cheesy song. The new Royal Republic album comes out the week before my birthday. Hell yeah! Between this and the Foo Fighters last year, I hope the tradition of artists I like enough to listen to a full album from them releasing one during my birth month continues.

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

This convinced me to listen to Not Like Us. I've listened to two number one songs from this year now. Three if you count Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

[@toddrickfrancis8860]

Did The Heart Part 6 not make it bc ir came too late or bc it just sucked?

[@doomslayer7893]

its not on streaming

[@crazyluigi6664]

BOTW: Not Like Us - Meet the Grahams was close, but it was just way too disturbing for the top spot. (I had to listen to Miles on It to get my good feelings back. Yes, it's a guilty pleasure, shut up, don't ask.) WOTW (Tie): Whatsapp (Wassam) and Si No Quieres No - For the former, Gunna sucks, Gunna has always sucked, and he will continue to suck. Go away Gunna. As for the latter, the 2 artists lack any chemistry and it's just a mess. I'm actually really excited for the Post Malone and Morgan Wallen collab to hit #1 next week (Post Malone is always good), and oh boy, get your weapons everybody, Gunna is GUNNA release hell upon us. Offset got to show his chops with him, but we'll see how Leon Bridges, Roddy Ricch, and Normani do with him. Oh, and I don't care if people complain about my choices, I just love pissing people off.

[@GraysonTheVA]

HM (Tie): Meet the Grahams and Take Her Home - The former was close, if it wasn't for being WAY too dark for my standards. Still good though. For the latter, Kenny Chesney has always been good to me, so I'm glad he has another charting song, but I'm still shocked that he can still make the Hot 100, especially as he's in his late 50s. DM: Family Matters - Yeah, Drake should be lucky that The Heart Part 6 didn't made it, otherwise he would've gotten a bottom spot. This is just boring.

[@alex_flamer]

That new Kane Brown and Marshmello song is just funny to me. Obviously trying to be One Thing Right part 2. 😆😆😆 Also go check out Mello Death (the collab project between Marshmello and dubstep artist Svdden Death) which obviously won't chart because it's not pop friendly.

[@michaelhutton6392]

Is it too much to ask for a Childish Gambino album bomb in 2 weeks?

[@dariohernandez9967]

Let's wait and see if the streaming holds stability to chart next week and compete with Gunna's album-bomb potential.

[@justezek8596]

I highly doubt it.

[@TomCatwhick.]

He quit for a while to focus more on acting and is now surprise dropping albums every couple of years. He hasn't charted since he quit. His last proper release was the single Feel Like Summer.

[@anamelessyoutuber1462]

Be Kind is still my favorite song of the decade so far.

[@shruggiemusic9057]

Well at least Miles On It isn’t anywhere near One Thing Right horrendous but that doesn’t excuse it from being garbage

[@justezek8596]

And stealing a melody line from "Die Young" isn't the excuse for sounding so overcompressed with worse percussion.

My Predictions for what I thought would debut this week on The Hot 100: Where That Came From Randy Travis (❌) Ronald Falling In Reverse, Tech N9ne, and Alex Terrible (❌) Back On My BS BixXthaPlug (❌ 114) Talk My Shit BossMan Dlow (❌ 111) Take Her Home Kenny Chesney (✔️) Si No Quieres No Luis R Conriquez and Neton Vega (✔️) If We Being Real Yeat (❌ 103) Red Wine Supernova Chappell Roan (❌ 104) Miles On It Marshemello and Kane Brown (✔️) meet the grahams Drake (✔️) Family Matters Drake (✔️) Not Like Us Kendrick Lamar (✔️) What I Missed Whatsapp (Wassum) Gunna

NGL, Ronald is a guilty pleasure. It's enjoyably over the top, and Tech N9ne absolutely kills it.

My Opinion Of This Week New Arrivals: WOTW1: Whatsapp (wassam)- Who wants more Gunna music? NOOOO WOTW2: Miles On It- Again Country mix with Marshmello type EDM DON'T MISS!!!!! WOTW3(ALL-CAPS): Family Matters- Drake can not compete with Kendrick, Drake lost, This song blows. DM: Si no Quieres No- What is this? HM1: Take Her Home- OK Slow Jams BOTW(ALL-CAPS): Both Kendrick Lamar Songs- KENDRICK IS THE WINNER OF THIS BEEF, I KNEW HE WOULD, AND HE DID NOT HOLD BACK!!!!! I think this beef is over, In My Opinion, I could be wrong, i really don't want anyone to get hurt Next Week Ugh... A Gunna Album Bomb Please god no

[@yanxue1240]

I want more gunna music

[@santaclara6112]

I'm not a big rap fan, so I'm out of the loop (the only song I've heard from this beef is Like That). Why would someone get hurt? Have Drake or Kendrick threatened to harm each other or other people?
