Taylor nets fastest number one on pop radio in ten yrs
Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' Tops Pop Songs Chart
Quote:
|
Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," featuring Kendrick Lamar, hits No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart, rising 2-1 on the Nielsen Music-based list. Reaching the top in just its fifth week on the list, the track completes the quickest climb to No. 1 in more than 10 years. The last song before "Bad Blood" to crown Pop Songs in five or fewer weeks? Nelly's "Over and Over," which reigned in its fourth frame on Nov. 6, 2004. The track features Tim McGraw, an artist whom Swift, of course, has scored hit singles about and with. (And, at the time, Swift was just about to turn 15.)

"I Swear," All-4-One, 1994

"Blood" is additionally the fourth Pop Songs No. 1 from Swift's blockbuster 1989 album, following "Shake It Off" (for two weeks), "Blank Space" (six) and "Style" (three). Only three albums had previously generated at least four No. 1s: Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006-07), Lady Gaga's The Fame (2009) (four each) and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, which yielded a record six (2010-12).

Why does it take songs so much longer to get to number one there? Compared to the main Hot 100 where songs will debut at #1 fairly frequently

You just can't get every single radio station to play your song the most in the matter of a week.
Mariah having a record (twice) on yet another chart. Literally atop every record chart.

Airplay charts (like the pop one) are based on amount of weekly spins a song gets. It takes weeks for songs to build massive airplay.
As opposed to the Hot 100 (which mixes in airplay along with sales and streams), a song can have a significantly-high number of downloads and streams in a given week (like Shake It Off - 544,000 downloads and 18 million US hits in its first week). Debuting at number one also depends on the competition that week, but with these type of numbers, it's almost a guarantee that a song will land at number one these days.

You don't just get every radio station to play your song in a few days. Some station will take longer to put it in their playlists, some stations will put it on power rotation straight away and some station won't play it at all because it doesn't fit their main audience.
