I wish Billboard compiled an overall chart points database. It would be like the YE charts but with one difference: songs continue to accrue points after they drop off of the Hot 100.

I can't believe there are people who think (or at least claim) Sorry is in any way victorious over Hello.

!!!!

Sorry was not bugger than Hello but might have more longetivity

!!! I can't believe people could get being bigger and being shocked it's having more longevity mixed up. No one claimed the former.

This.

No. If we are talking about longevity, ten weeks at number 1 is longevity.

So is a possible 21+ weeks inside the top 10 which is what we were discussing. Why are you all getting so defensive anyways?

Right

Sorry obviously has a lot more longevity than Hello. It's okay to accept facts sometimes.

Sorry has more longevity in the top 10 just cause its sales are spread out more evenly and it wasnt played so heavily for 2 months. Hello sold HUGE out the gates which means that its potential market got exhausted faster.

We all know which song has had the bigger impact and transcended the music charts. Hello has become a Phenomenon. Just anybody saying Hello now sparks off a reference to THAT song.

And, of course, its sold double in sales and is a YouTube monster. Hello is an all time classic. Sorry just isnt.

It sucks ''Hands To Myself'' has peaked. Her best single this era.

1. Work = (79-83% of lead)

omgggggg

when was the last time a lead this big happened

Hello in it's first weeks

oh right

still impressive

Fine but let's not pretend like Sorry wasn't huge. I might even say it's Justin's biggest hit.

There's plenty of cracks in that argument but let's not get into it. How is PILLOWTALK doing in the other departments? Do you guys see it staying in the top 10 for more weeks?

Yeah it's not leaving the top 10 anytime soon.

Still very strong streaming, stable sales and good radio updates.

The Purpose era truly turned JB into a Hot 100 force. Believe was just a preview.
