come on Bruno, give Ed some time to shine!

[Legofanyoda]

It irritates me to no end that TOL is peaking in the same spot as Don't. TOL deserves that #1.

That's interesting.

I would say should be the song's core format. Two of the three artists are not core artists AAA, and Kanye West has never charted there, which will slow down the crossover process just a bit.

As far as I can remember, none of these three, not even Paul McCartney, has charted at Modern Rock/Alternative Rock. McCartney's last success in the 80s preceded the Modern Rock/Alternative Rock Chart's creation.

Pretty sure he/she was just joking.

Ed should still get the #1.

All Stations + Recurrents

#1: UF! 20584, bullet -128
#2: TOL 18944, bullet 1,248

Closest song to TOL with a bullet of over 1000:

#6: Style 11145

It's over 7,000 spins behind TOL.

Ed's bullet is more than double the published one?

Why are EDM singles not such good sellers? They tend to stream more than sell. I've always wondered this. The only EDM single in recent memory that was a huge seller + streamer was WMU!.

I think it's the fact that most of them are formulatic and made-for-radio, and those singles hardly ever sell that well (such as LMH and Prayer In C.) Most of those types of songs are to forgettable to buy.

It's a shame. The US has overlooked countless EDM excellence this decade.

Firstly, WMU! is amazing and deserves every ounce of success it got. Just wanted to point that out.

Anyways, I think most pop listeners see EDM or house tracks like Rather Be and Waves as songs they can just turn the radio on or put the music video on to hear- they're not songs that most people want to repeat over and over again. Dance just isn't the prevailing subgenre of pop music in the US. That's why those songs didn't become huge hits.

Yeah, and MLJ did too. They've all went top 10 on BB, too. And on top of that, Harder To Breathe, This Love, She Will Be Loved, Makes Me Wonder, and Misery have gone top 10 too.

Looking at Kworb's archives, here are their peaks on all stations pop:

One More Night #1
Daylight #1
Animals #1
Love Somebody #2
Maps #2
Payphone #4**
Sugar #10*

* currently climbing
** Kworb's archive dates back to August 4, 2012, so Payphone likely reached a higher peak. Did Payphone get to #1 on pop?
