Okay Ari Auris and I did some research, and we found the Wikipedia page about the "Near You" song I've been referring to, so I'm sharing the link for every one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_You

Also, here is the wording from the link saying exactly how the song reached 17 weeks: "On the 'Most Played By Jockeys' chart, the song spent 17 consecutive weeks at number one, setting a record for both the song and the artist with most consecutive weeks in the number-one position on a US pop music chart."

Artist has since been broken by Usher and then again by the Black Eyed Peas, but the song's 17 week record still stands. On Billboard's Best-Seller Chart, "Near You" spent 12 weeks.

SYA streaming this week will be insane. The video got to 29m last week ww... This week is already at 37 with almost 2 days left so it will be around 50. 1m Spotify update every day this week... If last week it got to 25m streaming... This week around 30 seems doable. Plus... 70 lead all week long including now of UF. Radio gaining of 4m per day.. While UF is losing the same audience. Wiz will be there at least 4 to 5 weeks.

I'm interested to see how long UF! will remain at #2. The only thing that has a slight chance at creeping in the top two at the moment would be Trap Queen, but even that song has its limitations with radio at the moment.

EDIT: speaking of Trap Queen, my local rhythmic station completely cuts out the verses and loops the choruses together

What about SUAD? It's #2 on iTunes and getting insane gains on radio right now.

OSD is the Hot 100 record, but the all time record is from 1947. Fred Bronson, who preceded Gary Trust, brought this up when OSD reached week 15 on the Hot 100 as reaching then surpassing 17 weeks would be the final step toward claiming all of the Billboard Pop Top 100 Singles/Songs longevity records.

Two or three weeks ago, someone shared the write-up for the Hot 100 each week "One Sweet Day" was on top on the BB Hot 100/BB 200 thread, so you can go back to that thread from two or three weeks ago and read what Bronson wrote on week 15. The other chart expert actually thought on week 16 OSD would tie that record with a 17th week at #1, but the song instead fell 1-5, indicating that the week 16 boost was from the Grammy's performance, and couldn't be sustained more than one week.

I would be perfectly happy if Mariah Carey turned out to be the artist, either solo or as part of a collaboration with another huge music star, to break the record. I just want to see the record from 1947 broken, or at the very least tied, and the song be such a huge hit Billboard has no choice but to rank the song ahead of "The Twist" as the #1 Hot 100 song of all time by the 60th anniversary issue in 2018.

This slightly reminds me of the other record Mariah maintains
having a #1 hit in every year of a decade.
Some artist did it in the 20s/30s.

That said, i'm here for the hot 100 and billboard recognized thing.
The only thing that I don't discount or serve No1curr realness towards is nielsen soundscan because I count the albums and singles pre 1991 sales even though there were loads of scandals regarding sales inflations and figures that weren't audited for verification.

Thanks for your contributions...I like to see your detailed perspective because you bring new information that many are unaware of or for some of us remember once you point it out.

Mess @ your local rhythmic station

I agree, though. I can definitely see UF! spending at least another month at #2 before it really starts to decline on streaming & radio and TQ swoops in with enough pop radio support.

We'll probably enter June with UF! at #3.

[Ger-55]

I think TQ is going as high as #3, I feel it's going to decrease on Streaming soon, it's actually very very high right now, and the music video is showing so far the same # of views than last week, the first time it happens, so the streaming peak is very soon. Having 16M is hell impressive

[2014]

Why is Post To Be so high ? It's barely in the top 50 on iTunes and I don't see it doing that great on the radio.

Shame that it will potentially outpeak Ice Box, but congrats to him for scoring such a big hit after so many flops in between 2006 and now.

It still needs time to catch up in streaming, but as of now, it's looking like a top 2 contender as well. The Voice will probably accelerate that movement.

But I won't make any solid predictions. I thought Sugar and LMLYD would hit #1

Loving the predictions for Talking Godly.

Yes. He originally started off in the R&B group B2K in 2001. They disbanded in 2003-4, and Omarion went solo. He released his first solo album, O, in 2005 and his second album, 21 , in 2006. 21 is the album that yielded his biggest solo hit to date (Ice Box).
