MTV's viewership was average then, it wasn't even substantially higher than today in 2016 when NOBODY watches MTV. Stop telling lies y'all don't have receipts behind.

MTV's viewership peaked in early 2010's (Jersey Shore biggest MTV show ever, VMA 2011 is VMA's highest rated year ever, etc) during Gaga's peak.

You are playing a viewership game and not an impact influence game.


A show displaying a video 20x a month over the course of 3.5 months is a great promo spot and not having over 1M viewers daily didn't deter the people that watch from actually going to the movies, buying the singles/albums/books/products


A 10M viewing show on CBS might not translate into 100k additional sales but a place where it targets pop culture could and did generate success for those that sold it properly.

What's Rihanna's talent, again?

Excellent question.

Wait, I Want It That Way only peaked at #6? That song is bigger than most of our faves' entire careers.

That's why I've never understood everyone's obsession with #1s when most of the biggest hits never even hit it there. It's just a congratulatory/brag worthy moment for stans, I guess?

Needed Me & KIB are both gonna flop tbh.

Digital sales definitely saved the Hot 100. When it was an airplay dominated mess

The way this should have happened a week or two earlier or later so that Kelly could have secured ha #1 hit with since you been gone

That's not the point. Zayn had the fanbase and selling power to debut at #1 on the Hot 100. Where is that power now? 267k people bought Pillowtalk first week. Literally where are they now?

Pillowtalk is still doing very well when it comes to streaming so I honestly don't know.

I guess it's just ANTI'd!

Yep.

Toxic and Oops both peaked at #9 and are more iconic than every Nose song.

I Want It That Way only peaked #6 because it wasn't put for sale. Someone said it a few months ago. It was airplay-only.

That's probably why Britney/NSYNC/Backstreet's singles have lower peaks then you'd expect probably. Because their label was too busy worrying about album sales and never released the singles fully.

Remixed still trying it Girl, give it a rest.

yes, and the rest of these albums where by established pop legends coming back from successful eras as I said. I didn't expect him to be on top of that list

I was thinking more like Adull's arteries but yeah...Work is the only hit she'll have off of this album.

I didn't say it wasn't a good promo spot.

Eye just said the Army is a deadass lie when they say 'TRL was a bigger grasp of the hits than Hot 100', 'MTV was bigger than the charts'.

They will do anything to make her seem like she didn't underperform once or twice.

You are saying that MTV and TRL were made out to be bigger than it actually was when in fact TRL and MTv were quite influential and impactful

I actually never made that comment but TRL and it's ability to drive sales, influence and impact for many artists was bigger than many hits for the moment on the hot 100 considering that chart was driven by airplay and marginally by sales.

Whereas the other was actually driven by pop culture popularity which resulted in top sellers.

Sometimes was a WW number 1, something Nose hasn't had in half a decade.

well the whole point is just Sometimes wasn't an underperformance. It was a hit. A temporary hit, not a remembered classic but still.

anyway, slw posted a gif and I just commented on how beautiful Britney looks in its video and of course someone had to go on a rant about it's chart run so
