i mean i have a lot of respect for what he and billboard do, and he seems to be friendly w/ some of my people (maura, whiney), so maybe i got off on the wrong foot w/ him, it's a shame
Twitter has basically allowed every semi-major dude to treat any legit critic of their actions as the equivalent of the worst twit-trolls they've encountered.

haha well actually nevermind, i thought Train went missing from the chart the week after my piece ran but it was the same week, so i rescind my pretending to take credit. still, pretty interesting to see clear evidence of them not being so sure of themselves w/ some of these genre distinctions.

the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart was just downsized from top 40 to top 25 on the main Billboard site, which is not a big deal but another thing pissing me off

"Adorn" is currently #10 on airplay and #71 on digital.
― these bitches is my sons and i make dad jokes (The Reverend), Saturday, 24 November 2012 22:39 (eleven years ago) link
The highest it's gone on the latter is #49.
― these bitches is my sons and i make dad jokes (The Reverend), Saturday, 24 November 2012 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
Overall airplay, not r&b airplay, if that needs clarification.

#10 on Radio Songs is actually uncommonly high for a recent R&B radio hit w/ minimal pop radio crossover too -- "Climax" was probably the next highest this year and it peaked at #16

"Diamonds" is still number one on the R&B Songs chart.
Has anyone heard this song on an R&B station?
― Andy K, Monday, 10 December 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it has actually climbed up the R&B airplay chart over time, is at #13 now, i hear it here and there. the Kanye remix helped, too.
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
also "we are never ever getting back together" has 'made chart history' by breaking the record for longest run at #1 on country songs

yeah sometimes somewhat unexpected songs do pretty well on latin (adele and lmfao placed a number of singles on it recently)

one thing i love is that practically EVERY current country act's wiki page (besides Taylor's) now has Country Airplay added to its chart info to reflect the popularity of recent singles -- it's a shame fans of other genres whose charts got screwed with aren't as fired up about this as country fans.
― some dude, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 11:33 (eleven years ago) link
"Thrift Shop" being in the top ten of the r&b chart is even more ridiculous than the "Diamonds" thing
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 12:43 (eleven years ago) link
It should be noted that after 13 weeks at the top of the roost, "Adorn" is the "greatest gainer" in r&b airplay.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link
it's also #10 on Radio Songs, which is easily the highest any R&B song has gotten w/o pop crossover all year ("Climax" got no higher than #16), so the extent of its playlist saturation is staggering.

billboard's year-end charts are out:

as i'd hoped, they used the old methodology (pre-October changes) for the year-end genre charts:

"Diamonds" obviously nowhere on the year-end R&B list

damn "love on top" was that big of a hit, huh

"lotus flower bomb" was the third biggest hit of THIS YEAR?
― salute me or crut me (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 15 December 2012 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
There was like a six- to eight-month period where I would turn on the radio and hear "Lotus Flower Bomb" within the first three songs.
I try not to speak of those days.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 15 December 2012 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
"Party" actually got airplay down here than LOT.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 15 December 2012 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
yeah "Lotus Flower Bomb" was pretty gigantic, and gotta remember these things go December to November, so things that broke wide late the previous year have an advantage (i'm betting in decade-end lists "Adorn" will triumph over "Lotus" easily)

In 2002, there was a 48-song overlap, exactly 3x as many.

9-song overlap with eoy Rock chart (way up from i think 3 last year), and 14-song overlap with country

Songs with most weeks at number one on Billboard's R&B chart:
18. "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie - Louis Jordan15. "Be Without You" - Mary J. Blige14. "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" - Deborah Cox14. "We Belong Together" - Mariah Carey14. "Blame It" - Jamie Foxx Feat. T-Pain14. "Pretty Wings" - Maxwell13. "Can't Be Friends" - Trey Songz12. "Diamonds " - Rihanna12. "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" - Alicia Keys12. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" - Beyoncé11. "Climax" - Usher
if the chart hadn't been changed in October, Miguel's "Adorn" would be on its 16th week at #1 (as it stands it only had 4 weeks). I'm pretty sure Rihanna will be dethroned in the next week or two...by Macklemore.
