This era is kinda over. Time for a catchy 3rd single (A-Yo or Dancin In Circles) and then move to the next era full of dancey and relatable bops.

Abel needs to keep that discount for Christmas week too. This time sales can make a difference since it's gonna get at least a little boost because of Christmas.

[MusicTalker]

Really glad about the discount! Hopefully Starboy makes it to the top of the Hot 100 now. The Weeknd deserves it.

[fridayteenage]

Well...cheap thrills used the same strategy, and was overall weaker. So it wouldn't be the most #1 this year.

Okay. I'm actually going back through and seeing what songs kept these #2s from reaching #1

1981-2 Foreigner's -- Waiting For A Girl Like You spent 9 weeks behind Olivia Newton John's --Physical, and one week behind Hall & Oates -- I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)

2002-3 Missy Elliot's -- Work It spent all 10 of its weeks behind Eminem's -- Lose Yourself

1996 Donna Lewis' -- I Love You Always Forever spent all 9 of its weeks behind Los Del Rio's --Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)

1998 Shania Twain's -- You're Still The One peaked at #2 its first week behind Next's -- Too Close, and the remaining 8 weeks behind Brandy & Monica's -- The Boy Is Mine

1992-3 Shai's -- If Ever I Fall In Love spent all 8 of its weeks behind Whitney Houston's -- I Will Always Love You

1998-9 Deborah Cox had the worst luck Nobody's Supposed To Be Here was jumped and kept out of #1 by R Kelly/C Dion's -- I'm Your Angel, Brandy's -- Have You Ever, and Britney Spears -- Baby One More Time. Then Monica -- Angel Of Mine hit #1

1999-2000 Brian McKnight's -- Back At One peaked behind Santana/Rob Thomas' -- Smooth

2004 Mario Winans/Enya/P. Diddy -- I Don't Wanna Know was blocked by two Usher songs -- Yeah and Burn, the latter of which jumped Winans

2015 Ed Sheeran -- Thinking Out Loud spent all eight of its weeks behind Uptown Funk

For some 7 weekers.....

1993 Tag Team's -- Whoomp There It Is peaked behind UB40 -- I Can't Help Falling In Love and Mariah Carey -- Dreamlover

2009-10 Lady GaGa -- Bad Romance peaked behind Kesha's Tic Toc

2016 So Far Weekend -- Starboy behind Chainsmoker/Halsey Closer and Rae Sremmurd/Gucci Mane

[fridayteenage]

Hmm, even #11 is at over 50%. A weak iTunes #1 to be sure.

[Stitches.]

16. Shawn Mendes - Mercy $ 0.4048 0.3861

I'm surprised at seeing it still on top 20 even with discount

wtf

I really wish she would release an EP THE JOANNE: MONSTER with those 8 redone bops... ugh she will dominate the whole world again... and the tour would be massive too

[FutureHive]

Rae Sremmurd need to hold on to that #1

[omrimayo]

Starboy now have 42% lead over BB combined of both of them. So hoping it will give him the edge because he's falling on Radio in the worst time for him :|

I remember the Thinking Out loud, Uptown Funk situation

It was the first time of me following the charts that something like that happened. The first 3 weeks were like OMG TOL might go #1, after that it was like, when will it go to #3 . By the time it was at the 6th week I was like mess . The 7th week had me rolling and the 8th week at #2 was TOO much for me. UF had that bitch stuck from February to April

What made it even more of a kii was the TOL ended up being the #2 song of the year BEHIND Uptown Funk

Just an overrall tragic Chart run, without it really being tragic

Perfect Illusion is her best single this era

Which says something considering it's an awful song and by far her worst lead single ever.

Year end countdowns should help him with the radio i think
