I don't understand your system. This says TiK ToK spent 6 weeks atop the chart, yet in actual fact it spend 9 weeks, all of which were in 2010. I understand that for some reason the dates you're using are two weeks prior (?) but even then that should only neglect two of Kesha's weeks at #1. Shouldn't Kesha's reign include the 3rd of January (which is 16th of Jan on Billboard), which Kesha was #1? |
I counted the week ending January 3rd as 2009 rather than 2010, since the majority of the days in the week were spent in the prior year and not 2010 (December 28, 29, 30 and 31 vs Jan 1, 2, 3). So, using my system, Ke$ha spent 6 weeks at #1 in the 2010s and 3 weeks at #1 in the 2000s.
My dates are accurate to the Sunday, whereas Billboard's dates are 13 days ahead for whatever reason. Mine reflect the weeks in which the peak actually occurred.
Those songs wouldn't exist without Bruno. Not every artist can be like Bruno and Rihanna who are so generous to help other artists get #1 hit.
