I don't see "featuring John Legend" in their article, so we don't know.

I think he'll be credited. The remix was clearly the more popular version of the song in the past week.

Earned It better slay

At the very least UF should have one of the T3 longest reigns this century.

[Wafflecakes]

Better album won tbh.

[MusicLoverDude]

Earned It needs to

Uptown Funk needs to go away.

And Sam Smith needs to LEAVE. I already had enough of his presence, and I don't need anymore of it.

FourFive Seconds still yet to reach Top 3, and Diamonds & We Found Love were both #1 at this amount of weeks.

Proof that 'Rihanna can release anything as a Lead and go #1' isn't true. 2nd single better slay.

Well yea . Seeing as how three of her leads haven't hit number one . Why ru so bothered by this

Or the fact that the majority are black artist and urban music.

45s staying strong, hopefully it can replace TOL next week.
I'm not sure if this would help but she's done a lot of HOME promo lately and more to come maybe that'll help boost 45s.

also, the HOME soundtrack is out this week... so. You never know.

Maroon 5's "Sugar" hits a new high on the Hot 100, rising 3-2. It holds at No. 2 on Digital Songs (178,000, up 4 percent) and No. 4 on both Radio Songs (123 million, up 7 percent) and Streaming Songs (9.9 million, up 4 percent). With its advance, "Sugar" becomes the highest-peaking Hot 100 hit from Maroon 5's album V.

So happy

536000
2 Sugar 178000 + 123000 + 99000 = 400000

Sugarday is about 17m away from peaking on radio. That's me predicting it won't go past 118m on pop @ Kworb. Even if it got to the record 125m, still just 24m. Mark has 53m to lose before they sync up there. I don't think it's possible since it still has room on Urban/Urban AC and hasn't even cracked top ten on AC yet. Expect slow falls on Pop too. Rhythmic would need to seriously pick up Sugar for there to be a discussion about ending IF after 13-14wks.

The streaming will continue to plateau as well. Still averaging 17m there for Mark, Sugar 9-10m.

Sales unpredictable as long as Mark continues the weekend boost + the second version keeps up.

6 more weeks!

Also.

TQ is terrible tbh. Coming from a Hot Boy fan. IDFWU/711/Only/ISM/Truffle deserves that spot!

Congrats Sam!

Trap Queen feels like such a random top 10.

Well the GP is slowly warming back up to urban music as of late, so it isn't that random. I'm just surprised that they were more receptive to this versus other songs such as IDFWU, 7/11, Only, etc.

The streaming difference between UF and Sugar this week is 7 million(16.9 vs 9.9). 7 million is equivalent to 91,000 in sales( I think one million sale is now equivalent to 13,000. prior to January 2015 it was 1 million to 20,000)

So add the 91,000 sales from streaming gap, plus the actual digital sales gap, and the radio airplay gap and you have the total gap between the two songs. Hope am making sense

Cool. So Adam needs to sell about 152,000 more than Mark.

Comparison between UF and Sugar. We need to figure out airplay conversion to sales. What is 178 million AI equivalent to in sales?

UF
Radio Airplay = 178 million AI (Anyone knows what is 178 million equivalent to in sales?)
Streaming = 16.9 - approximately 221,000 in sales (1 million streams equals to 13,000 sales per one of the atrl member. 1 million stream in the past is equal to 20k but Billboard reduced it this year)
Digital sales = 189,000 downloads

Sugar = 123 million AI(what is 123 million AI equal to in sales?)
Streaming = 9.9 million which is approximately 130,000 in digital sales?
Digital Sales = 178,000 downloads

UF! has 14 weeks on lock at this point. I don't think M5's gonna make it. Ellie could be the next #1.

My recommendation for Maroon 5 management team is to wait until Sugar's airplay aligns with UF's airplay. That week, they can perform the single on the Voice and do a 69 cents discount to boost its sales.
