It's been 4 or 5 weeks in number one, how on earth is that weak? Also the Op makes no sense and seems like unfounded flamebait

Are you real

A #1 song being weak? Mess

No, it ain't a week single. It has some stiff competition actually.

Also, a lot of DH's fuel was burned in the SEVERAL months prior to release.

4 weeks at #1 isn't weak.
Someone needs a dictionary

5 weeks @ #1 is pretty good

I don't think it's a weak #1. I think Dark Horse will be very high in the year-end chart, definitely top 10, since it was in the chart for months before it got #1, and its music video only just got released, so I think it can have a while longer in the chart as ewell.

Since streaming has been added we haven't really had any properly weak #1s. Timber felt the smallest out of all of them to me, but even that did very well in the charts.

I think Happy will be bigger than it though. Happy could have an unstoppable run like Blurred Lines. It has done where I live.

No.

Girl.

no, it's pretty huge

not at all. It has a huge change to be the #2 biggest song of 2014

No

The Monster was a weak #1

Yes

Katy goes #1 4-5 Weeks , peaks then plummets..
A song like Pompeii stays in the lower portions of the Top 10 for AWHILE
and has a longer chart life thus beating it on year ends.

That for example would make it a "weaker" #1.

No, it is forgettable tho.

Didn't it break a radio record or something

is this a parody thread

Well it was only a matter of time until Happy started smashing in the US like it was in the rest of the world.

That doesn't undermine Dark Horse's success though.
