If we have two songs back to back serving 28 weeks at the top then they need to change the weight of this stuff.

They need to change it. If we only get 5 #1 hits this year (A teenage dream tea) I'll be damned

UF was #1 on all three main metrics for 11+ weeks (and it finally debuted on the physical singles sales chart and spent four weeks there). That wasn't true with SYA, so the argument can be made it's a weaker single. That's why I said I think it's going to last 30-33 weeks on the Hot 100, and TOL may rank #2 for the year.
I'm optimistically projecting BB to return to #1 next week, since it'll lead SYA in Sales and Airplay by then, and the original version should get some On-Demand Streaming from Apple Music (but not as much as the remix). The week after that, Cheer and CFMF take over the Top 2, so there's no way SYA can get past 12 weeks. And I expect SYA to fall relatively quickly compared to the other 10+ week #1s this decade.
I need to set up that forum for the sales v. streaming discussion, because I've promised not to talk about it on chart threads anymore. And I'm projecting 8 #1s.
